Works Cited
Achieving Early America. Tropical Web Works, 1995. Web. 10 Jan. 2013. <http://www.earlyamerica.com/earlyamerica/milestones/commonsense/>. The web site's main goal is to give both students and teachers a well written website that's packed with useful information. The information included was mostly a description of Common Sense, with its affects and a little biography on Paine.
Biddle, Mark, et al. "Thomas Paine." US History. Ed. Thomas Kindig. Independence Hall Association, 4 July 1995. Web. 27 Nov. 2012. <http://www.ushistory.org/paine/>. This website was very organized and the article was made up of a brief biography of Thomas Paine. It was a creditable website and had lots of information on citation.
Brainy Quote. Tend Glam Media, 2001. Web. 7 Jan. 2013. <http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/authors/t/thomas_paine.html>. This website had lots of quotations on Thomas Paine, which we used in our "Quotation" page. We used ones from all of Paine's writing- The Great American Crisis, Common Sense, The Rights of Man, and the Age of Reason.
Burgan, Michael. Thomas Paine- Great Writer of the Revolution. Minneapolis: Compass Point, 2005. Print. For this source, it's a print book titled, "Thomas Paine- Great Writer of the Revolution". It had information from his early years to his death. It also had a lot of information based on his "American Crisis" papers. I'd recommend this source because it wasn't too long, yet was packed full of information. I learned that Paine worked at a local Philadelphia newspaper, which is where he first voiced his opinions.
Conway, Moncure Daniel. Cambridge Library Collecton. 1892. Cambridge, New York, Melbourne, Madrid, Cape Town, Singapore, Sao Paolo, Delhi, Mexico City: Cambridge UP, 2012. Vol. 2 of The Life of Thomas Paine: With a History of His Literary, Political and Religious Career in America, France, and England. Cambridge Library Collecton. Cambridge. Web. 9 Oct. 2012. <http://books.google.com/books?id=QGJZ6LKGlLYC&printsec=frontcover#v=onepage&q&f=false>. This eBook had many good quotes in it regarding Paine. However, it didn't supply a lot of information specifically about Paine- most of the information was on a different topic. It wasn't my favorite source, but it was still helpful. Also, the writing style was somewhat difficult to follow, so I had to work hard to comprehend what the author was saying.
Foner, Eric, ed. Paine. New York: Library of America, 1955. Print. Collected Writings. Of course this source is creditable- it's Paine's own writing! It was quite different reading the text in the dialect and writing style of Paine, mostly since the vocabulary of Paine's time was more extensive. This source was a little challenging to read, but it helped me understand his view.
Milliere, Auguste. One Life: Thomas Paine- the Radical Founding Father. 1880. Oregon Republican Party. Web. 18 Jan. 2013. <http://www.oregonrepublicanparty.org/quotes/author/Thomas%20Paine>. This painting depicts Thomas Paine's physical being.
"My Country, My Religion." Live by Quotes. N.p., n.d. Web. 7 Jan. 2013. <http://i.imgur.com/A8BBo.jpg.jpg>. We used this image to represent our "Quotes" page. It says, "My country is the world, and my religion is to do good."
Paine, Thomas. Common Sense. N.p.: Forgotten, 2008. Google Books. Web. 5 Oct. 2012. <http://books.google.com/books?id=wVt7VxvFyegC&printsec=frontcover&source=gbs_ge_summary_r&cad=0#v=onepage&q&f=false>. This was a good source, yet I wasn't able to find where I could view the eBook in plain text, thus making it a little less useful. Obviously it's credible, because it was the papers that Paine wrote himself. However, since Thomas Paine's writing style and vocabulary is so different than the average vocabulary and style today, it was somewhat difficult to read.
"Paine, Thomas." Encyclopedia Brittanica. 2012. 1-5. Encyclopedia Brittanica. Web. 21 Sept. 2012. <http://school.eb.com/eb/article-260408#cite>. Encyclopedia Britannica was a so-so online dictionary. Nothing really made it stand out, but it did provide a suitable amount of information to put me on the right foot. It wasn't enough information for me to use throughout the entire project's period, but it wasn't bad. I might recommend this source to other people.
Shmoop Editorial Team, ed. "Thomas Paine in the American Revolution." Shmoop. Shmoop University, 11 Nov. 2008. Web. 5 Oct. 2012. <http://www.shmoop.com/american-revolution/thomas-paine.html>. I do believe this website was very helpful. Not only was it in an easy-to-read layout, but there were links specifically for citing the page you were reading. It's a site created by teachers for student research. However, these teachers that work with Shmoop went to Harvard, Stanford, US Berkley, and other top universities- all with PhD and Master's degrees. 91% of their writers currently or have taught at high school or college level. They also hire "academic specialists" for many of their topics. Overall, I'd say that Shmoop is a very helpful website. Their purpose for creating Shmoop is to help students achieve success in school.

Also, it had a wide range of easy to read and easy to understand information. This made writing note cards a breeze, and also provided lots of information.
