Brewer employed many of these tools and techniques in her “Address Upon Signing Arizona Senate Bill 1070”, in which she artfully explained why the bill was in the best interest of the people of Arizona.…

    The extract from Anna Comnena’s ‘Alexiad’ is a valuable piece of primary evidence when studying the First Crusade, giving a thorough account of events from the Eastern Christian perspective. However, it can be argued that despite its detail, the passage may depict an inaccurate narrative of events. This is due to its adulation of Alexius and disparagement of the Franks.
