Hellp Please. Historyy.?
What is the meaning of this entry ?
why is it a reliable souce?
why is it a unreliable source ?
Source:
…there having died more than 300 in Brentford and Isleworth, and Death is now become so familiar, and the people see insensible of danger, that they look upon such as provide for the publick safety, as Tryants and Oppressors, whilst neither the richer sort, will be brought to contribute, nor the meaner to submitt, though to their own apparant good, and preservation,
8 October 1665
( the diary entry is talking about the plauge)
Um i think that this source means that basically no-one can escape the plague. Whether you’re rich or poor, you can’t avoid it. Also, that many people had died from the plague and and people are getting used to it happening,
I know for sure why this is a reliable cource though. Its a primary resource. it was written at the time and it is from the time. It can also be an unreliable source because it is wriitn in someones diary, therefore it is a persons opinion – which is more often than not, incorrect. What i’m trying to say, is that people’s views can’t be a real fact.
Hope i have helped
