- Author's Point of View
- An author’s point of view is the author’s opinions, beliefs, thoughts, and feelings about a topic or subject in the text.
Understanding the author’s point of view helps the reader know more about the topic of a passage and about how the author thinks or feels about it. A reader may agree or disagree with the author’s point of view.
To find the author’s point of view in a passage, look for:
- Statements about how the author feels, thinks, or their opinion
- An action the author wants the reader to take
- An argument, or claim, the author makes about the topic
