What motivated Oswald to kill JFK on November 22, 1963?

Supporting Question:
What motivated Oswald to kill JFK on November 22, 1963?
In this assignment you need to first provide a list of reasons why Oswald may have decided to kill JFK, based on an analysis of the primary and secondary source assignments in this assignment (linked below). Write that list out in the first box in the submission form. The list must include a discussion of the potential impact of the times in which the killer lived, discussing which if any of the following three were important and why you think so:
(1) A sense of egotism and personal failure: personal demons, in other words.
(2) A desire to further the Communist movement, particularly in Cuba.
(3) The influence of the times, especially the white-hot political passions of the time, including JFK’s “anything goes” support for the assassination of Castro and therefore the use of violence as a political tool.
Part One ( worth 5 points and due by September 22, to the Discussion Board)
Part one is just a list of ten sources, eight of which must be from the list below. You complete a form on the Discussion board, which identifies the eight from the list below, and two additional sources (primary or secondary) from your own research that supports the thesis position from the three above that you also identify in the form. Therefore all ten sources support the identified thesis position from the list of three above. See the Discussion assignment for more information.
Therefore, in order to be more reassured that your ten sources are good ones to use, you must post them to the “Pieces of Evidence” Discussion Board by September 22, along with your selected position among the three possible positions. I will comment on your provided sources and let you know whether they are good to use or whether (and, if so, how) you need to go back to the drawing board.
