Roland Patterson · Answer 1

The articles would be a secondary source response because they contain commentary on a primary source.

Remember, the difference between a primary and a secondary source is that a primary source comes right from the source, while a secondary source does not.

For example, a primary source of the Holocaust would be a first-hand account from a survivor of a death camp, while a secondary source would be an article written about a death camp.
