 * Which document(s) do you think are **reliable**? Why?

document six : the defensive coach for Medfrod he says that they just didnt have any luck in them and Malden did. so he was not bias against Malden. Also document 7 : the ref because he is supposed to keep the game fair and not be biased against either team. and said that he thought that the catch was clean. document 8: its the assitnat coach, thinks that the boy is avarage, doesnt have very good hand skills. he would not ba a biased person to give exageration about the catch.

Which document(s) do you think are **unreliable**? Why? I think that documents one through five were unreliable. Because document 1 the person had not actuaully seen the catch and was told that it was great. that person could have been exagerating. Document 2: Would be unreliable because it was the player who cought the ball. He was vey biased and thought that his catch was great, and there for he would not call it a bad one.

What are somethings that all documents agree on? they all agree that Donnell Wilson had cought the ball and won the game for Malden.

What are somethings that the documents disagree about? that Donell Wilson had not made an amazing catch that it fell into his lap by chance. Or that the catch he made was amazing and that he had leaped up in the air and cought it amazingly.

Are there any other people that could have given a better account of what happened? a person who could have given a better account is the governer, if he went to the game and watched it he would not be biased and say what happend.
