Lesson 12: Determining Point of View

2
Point of View
Did you ever read an article that tried to convince you to agree with the writer's ideas? If so, you may have noted that certain words were chosen to appeal to your emotions. The writer may have made different choices if the text were meant to inform or entertain, for example. After all, content is shaped by the author's purpose, or main reason for writing. Content is also shaped by the author's point of view, or feelings about a topic. The words and ideas used in a text provide important clues about an author's perspective.
