Question

Differences between 2 accounts of santiago alvarez and teodoro aguncillo

Answer 1

Santiago Alvarez started his memoir on a specific date, March 14, 1896, the day when the future military rival in Emilio Aguinaldo was to become a member of the secret society initiated by the Supremo himself, Andres Bonifacio.

Answer 2

While Alvarez focused on the elections, Agoncillo focused on human emotions.

• The author Santiago Alvarez wanted to create a novel version of the revolution that may one day be used to educate new readers about history.
• Agoncillo sought to include what transpired before and after the Tejeros Convention in order to connect the present to the past, despite the fact that Alvarez has already offered a source of historical research surrounding the revolution.
• The electoral process and the activities in Tejeros were the main topics of Alvarez's version. The minute details, including the feelings that each personality had displayed, were all included in Agoncillo's rendition.
• Primary sources offer unfiltered data and first-hand proof. Alvarez relied solely on what he saw while attending the aforementioned convention; he had no written sources to depend on.
• As a secondary source, Agoncillo's version already had the original source to help the author decide what further to include and what to research further.
