◦ From the sources you summarized, list and explain at least five visual cues from the peer-reviewed, scholarly source that were not evident in the popular source.

Like I stated above the peer reviewed lead you to the book, there was no adds or commercials or popups distracting you like the popular source. Reading the scholarly was a little boring just black and white letters while there was a picture of the author on the popular source so at lease you had a idea who was talking to you. There was no search feature on the popular source. There was not cite button on the side of the popular source.
