Question

What is one problem with relying exclusively on a diary entry for information about a past event?

Answer 1

1. You do not know if their diary is fully accurate
2. Diary entry's are normally how the person feels about an event and not soulfully just about the event.

Answer 2

Answer: subjectivity

Explanation: A diary entry is written by a person, influenced by his/her ideas, opinions and personal characteristics. People tend to be subjective when writing about a topic. This is the reason why using only one source of information is a problem because we do not really know if the information is acqurate or if it is just what the person thinks about an issue.
