How can you determine what an author’s point of view is?

Ask yourself, “When did the author publish this text?”

Ask yourself, “What does the author want me to think about this topic?”

Ask yourself, “Who are the author’s sources?”


Ask yourself, “Where is the author from?”

Ask yourself, "What language or tone does the author use?"

Examine the author's previous works or background to see if they have any biases or preferences.

Look for any explicit or implicit statements made by the author about their own beliefs or opinions.

Analyze any personal experiences or anecdotes shared by the author that may reveal their point of view.

Consider the intended audience of the text and how the author may have tailored their point of view to cater to that audience.
