primary sources/ first hand documents or artifacts from an event secondary sources/ documents or artifacts made after the fact that use facts from a primary source to better explain what happened. I ** mply/Infer:they are similar because neither is a definite; they are different because implying is when you know something but dont exactly say it and infering is like taking a guess at something ** 2.5 I find the visual thesis more useful because it breaks down the main idea into key words making it very simplified and easy to look at and understand easily.

 * 2.3**
 * Bias/Point of View:they are similar beacuse they both deal with how you look at something; POV is just you position on a subject though, bias is when you lean more towards one side of the argument or one of the views for a specific reason; for example you're on the jury to convict your best friend of murder, you are going to have a bias point of view because you have a personal relationship with that person **
 * Evaluate/Assess:they are similar because they both deal with figuring out, or sizing up something; they are different because when you evaluate something you fully check it when you assess you get an idea on what you are assessing thesis/debate: they are similar because both propose an argument and try to support that argument; they are different because a thesis is usually a part of an excerpt of literature and its trying to draw up an argument with the reader; a debate and usually spoken between 2 or more opposing parties with different ideas **
