The author's point of view in writing (2/3) | Interpreting Series

Learn how to interpret the author's point of view. Writers' viewpoints color their perceptions and affect what they say and how they say it. Understanding the author's viewpoint will help you question what the author may be choosing to include or exclude from the passage.

[@liv2655]

Thank you 🙏🏻 I

[@snaplanguage]

No problem! Thank YOU for watching :D

[@JayKlips]

How would I answer this question based on your video “how might an author use point of view to shape a readers perception of characters and events in a story”

[@emilyguzman9505]

My teacher is making me watch this

[@snaplanguage]

I hope you enjoyed it. If you see learning not as a "chore" but as a lifelong journey, you won't feel it as someone "making" you do it. Knowledge is yours and forever. Enjoy the journey! :D

[@13has]

Oh man, how the Mike Brown situations is still relevant :(

[@snaplanguage]

Sadly... :(

[@sandycarney1537]

cool thank you

[@snaplanguage]

No problem! :D

[@snaplanguage]

Glad you're enjoying the channel. Although I do not know Aztec software, I will take it as a compliment. :D

[@seansundae9553]

Snap Language yes its a compliment👍

[@snaplanguage]

Sweet!

[@seansundae9553]

Snap Language Their not listening or understanding your point, thats why their bored.😃

[@snaplanguage]

Probably not... and you can't please everyone all of the time. :D

[@mariamomar9694]

Thank you!! You're truly underrated but youngsters tend to focus on videos outside the education category.. maybe that's why.

[@snaplanguage]

I'm glad there are always enough people that are interested in learning at some point... Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! :D

[@Cheeser_bobeeser]

Same. UNDERATED

[@johnnyac1836]

Is the author's main point and the author's point of view the same?

[@snaplanguage]

Hi, Johnny. Thanks for the question. These are different concepts. The main point is the "main thought" that the author wants to express. The author's point of view is how the author approaches that point--that is, positively, sarcastically, neutrally, and so on. You main want to watch our videos on the main idea and details; they may help. Thanks for watching!

[@johnnyac1836]

@@snaplanguage thank u for a veryyy quick answer ur vids really helped me a lot🙏I'll tell my classmates about all of ur vids I'm sure these could also help them 😊

[@user-gc9gx3yr1r]

Can I ask you but this question is far from what was you have said on the video is it ok .

[@user-gc9gx3yr1r]

Uhmm plsss can I ask you.

[@yasmeenaaliyah9877]

is this the same thing as external viewpoints?

[@snaplanguage]

I'm not familiar with that term in reading. In literature, you sometimes have a third person narrator, who's an outside viewer... in the video, we're talking about the viewpoint that the writer brings into any text, including non-literary texts. Thanks for watching and leaving a question! :D

[@Em-jr7gs]

lol mistake at 1:00

[@snaplanguage]

Yay! Glad you enjoyed it LOL

[@Tiny-hd4kh]

how does the point of view work when the author's purpose is informative

[@snaplanguage]

Thanks for watching and for leaving a question. In any field of study, there are often many ways of explaining "facts." That's why there are often competing theories about or explanations for things. As a result, even in an informative passage, writers bring in their biases and beliefs. As readers, when we detect the author's point of view, we should be aware that the information will be presented from within that point of view and perhaps leave out alternative explanations. I hope that answers your question. :D

[@naseermak5408]

Sir, want to know about you more

[@snaplanguage]

I started holding live stream events. If you have a chance to attend them, you can get to see me unscripted and unedited. Cheers! :D

[@snaplanguage]

@Tryhard Kill You 2 This topic doesn't change with time, so the video is still useful 5 years later. :) Thanks for watching and leaving a comment. Please tell your teacher I said thanks for using my videos :D

[@esmeg5455]

Spelling mistake? Did you say “the perspective you have when you APPROACH a topic” because you wrote approad

[@snaplanguage]

Oh, no! Sometimes these typos make into the video. :( But I hope that didn't get in the way of the content. :D Thanks for watching and leaving a comment!

[@yomardelvalle1076]

There i don't understand anything 😣

[@snaplanguage]

You need to be more specific about what you don't understand. If you mean the video, you should watch it again and take notes, focusing on the main points. Then it will start making more sense when you watch it yet again. Cheers! :D

[@sandycarney1537]

what do you meen

[@snaplanguage]

Watch it again and take notes. If needed, review it while going through your notes. You can also check our website out: snaplanguage.io/esl/c-level/reading/ Cheers! :D

[@myaaduh]

these comments are so last year

[@snaplanguage]

Happy New Year! 🎈🥳

[@redslingshotsthejoke2830]

why does this has so many likes

[@snaplanguage]

Because people have different points of view 🤔

[@chantelwilliams6544]

It has so many likes because it explains this skill extremely well.

[@RaccoonSelkie]

You use “he or she” frequently, why not use “they?” It would be less wordy and more inclusive for non-binary people viewing these videos.

[@snaplanguage]

I find it annoying, too. I wish grammarians would get over the use of "singular they" in academic English and otherwise. In more recent videos, I just use "they," and let grammar nazis deal with it Thanks for watching and leaving a comment. I hope you enjoy the other videos on the channel.

[@MsMOREHEAD09]

Thank you so much I finally passed my GED. Your videos really helped me. Thank you

[@snaplanguage]

That's awesome! Woohoo! Thanks for giving me some credit for your accomplishment, but you are the one who went for it and got it done. Congratulations! :) -- Marc Franco
