Chapter 5 exercise 1

When reading the passage from the historian Julie Charlip, it was for the most part easy to identify between her referring to other people's ideas and referring to her own.  She separated the "they say" from the "I say" very well.  For example she refers to views of others in the article when she writes, Marx and Engels wrote..., I once asked a sociology professor what he thought... his definition, and the average American will tell you.  When adding her own input she makes it obvious by making various statements such as, I find myself..., But I always felt that..., I'm sure thats what..., and As a historian...

At first when I read this passage it wasn't as obvious because I didn't know what I was really looking for, but after I re-read it, it became clear that she clearly distinguished between her personal thoughts and thoughts of others.  It sometimes is hard to make it clear who idea you are talking about, but the templates from this section will make it a lot easier.
