<http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/newsandevents/pressreleases/new_research_says/>. This is a source
that has a claim that winning the Nobel Prize can add 2 years to your life. "Amount of actual
prize money won by Nobel prize winners had no effect on their longevity - suggesting that it is
the sheer status boost of the award that is important in extending lifespan." This states that the
social status boost has an effect. Which means the popularity that they have gained by winning
the Nobel Prize has a large impact of the gain of 2 years to their lives. This is a secondary
source. This proves that the Nobel Prize has an huge impact not only on the winners'
invention/idea but on the winners' live.

she has done. It would be called the Nobel Prize honoring people for their accomplishments in

Chemistry, Physics, Physiology or Medicine, Peace and Literature. Bertha von Suttner had
inspired him to do that, so it relates to my topic very well. This is a primary source because

Nobel, saying that he figured out the mixture for creating dynamite. After he wrote that letter,
their relationship slowly got restored. This is a primary source because Alfred Nobel wrote this
letter at the time when he was still alive.
"Thrills in Science." unknown Sept. 1941: n. pag. Rpt. in Tumblr. N.p.: n.p., n.d. N. pag. Print. This is the
fake obituary of Alfred Nobel. IT explains that his invention killed him and others. But it was
really his brother who dies with others, NOT because of his explosion of dynamite but because of
the unsafe mine explosion. People said that is said to have brought about his decision to leave a
better legacy after his death. This is a primary source because it was written when Alfred was
still alive and it is about Alfred's death even though it was his brother who died.
