- http://classicponycars.com/history.html--Detailed history of the first generation mustang.
- The audience is mustang enthusiasts. This is apparent with the voice--they seem bias towards the mustang and how its better than the rest of the pony cars. Also their is a lot of detail only about the mustang.
- They are all original ford mustang cars (1964-73). These pictures were probably used in the advertisements for the car. They definitely help the understanding of the material because you can see and relate to the car they are talking about. Also their is a Mustang logo background.
- This seems as though it is just written by an enthusiast; however it does seem creditable because their is a ton of information with dates and facts that could easily be checked by another source. Also the site looks professional: it has multiple links with working animations. Although, this site does not specify any author or any backing organization. The website does have adds for other sites where you can buy mustangs, but other than that the site is pretty much unbiased.
- We found many import facts and dates about our topic. We can use this for our timeline page on our website. Also it explains how they were advertised and marketed and to what audience.
- It is a lot more "fluffy." It has pictures and different colors. Also it has adds at the top the page.

This site discusses the history of black workers at Henry Ford’s auto plants around the Detroit area. This website is geared towards people trying to do research on the history of Henry Ford’s automobile plants. This is shown by the educational, serious tone and the detailed facts. Also, the assumed previous knowledge of the reader is low. The graphics are simple and sparse, so they don’t distract the reader of the website too much from the text. The graphics that are present are actual pictures from the history that is being told. Overall, the layout of the site is simple and geared towards text over graphics. The website is credible because it uploads articles directly from a newspaper source. We’re not familiar with the institution who sponsor the website, but we can tell that they are a well recognized, well-written organization by other parts of the website. The website originates from the idea of socialism, and this bias is seen throughout the article; however, this bias did not interfere with the information given. Also, there are no advertisements on the site, so there isn’t really any outside bias. From the site, we were able to gather important information about the Ford Motor Company and his policies regarding race. We realized by looking at this source that it is necessary to make sure you understand the main point of your site and its biases. The rhetorical differences between this site and our other site is that this site has one author, but the other source was compiled by different people. Also, this website was devoid of “fluff” such as pictures and videos, but the other site featured them.
