The Preface to the 1872 edition;
The Preamble;
Chapters I, II, and IV. (Omit chapter III, as you are not expected to be familiar with the entire body of literature)

Purpose-What is the intention of the creator?
Who was the intended audience?
Ideology/behavior-Does the source describe beliefs, actions, or a combination?
Top-down/bottom-up-Does this source apply to elites, or common people? Which is creating it?

Message/Argument-What is the source’s message or argument?
Explicit/implicit-How does the text of the source compare to the subtext?
Methods-What are the rhetorical methods used? Persuasive, demanding, begging, threatening…
