The writer’s attitude

Sometimes writers make their feelings or views about something absolutely clear. Other times, they imply or suggest what they feel. When you are asked to identify the writer’s attitude or feelings, you’re being asked to say what the writer thinks about the issue. To do this, you should consider some of the following:

• The writer’s stated attitude
  
• The words used by the writer
  
• The balance of views reported
  
• The people and sources quoted
  
• The tone and level of formality.
