interpreting writter point of view...

INTERPRETING WRITER’S POINTS OF VIEW, ATTITUDES OR INTENSION

ü  Trying to understand a text trough the writer’s perception, which is influence by his or her personal beliefs on an issue.
ü  The writer’s beliefs might be neutral (taking no side)
ü  The writer’s beliefs might be biased ( in favour of one side only)

TONE – refers to the writer’s use of words and writing styles to demonstrate his or her stand towards the issue in the text. You can determine the tone used in a text by:
·         Looking at word choice: words have positive, negative or even neutral association.
·         Analyzing the phrasing used to describe an event: is the author sarcastic? Does the writer lay out facts with no opinion?
·         Considering how you feel when you read the text: what emotions have been evoked in you? Do you feel angry, sad or happy?

Writers normally write for one of these 4 REASONS:
1)  To inform
2)  To instruct
3) To persuade
4) To entertain
