Paper on Primary Document

Select two primary documents that we have read in the class up to this point (up to 9/30) that address a particular issue (for example, response to the West; critique of Confucianism and tradition, civil examinations, response to Marxism, Pan-Asianism).

Read the documents carefully, paying particular attention to the language and structure of the document (see below). Start with an argument / thesis. In the body of your paper explain the context of the documents; explain the significance of the document; back up your argument with specific references from within the documents; and finally how the two documents speak to common concerns or offer conflicting perspectives.
