Investigating primary sources

1. You can learn that the entire page is about the ball. The page is about the costumes, meaning they assume thats what the readers want to learn about. The newspaper seems to see it as a big deal such as a royal marriage.

2. This article informs you of the schedule of what when down at the ball. The illustrator seems to be praising the ball, thinking it was amazing.

3. The minister criticized the ball because he saw it being possible that the money be dispensed in more useful ways such as charity. The newspaper published his view so the public could think about how much that money would help having been used on better things.

4. From reading this piece, the society of the time was very interested in the ball due to the article having sections on the people at the ball, inside the ball room, and what happened in and out of the ball.
