and practicing new skill/ An author becomes bias when he/she persuades the reader to believe on
his/her own stand of the issue by giving inaccurate information or false impression
even with or without the intention of misleading the readers.
How do you determine the author’s biases?

To determine the author’s biases and to understand his/her underlying
purpose, you must look at the use of evidence and diction.
Evidences can be in a form of facts and information, testimonies and direct
observations, scientific and legal findings, and anecdotes and philosophical evidences.
Diction refers to the words or expressions that help convey the stand of the
author towards an issue. These words and expressions may indicate a positive or
negative connotation or meaning.
The table below shows an example of a word with a positive and a negative
Connotation.
Here are some guide questions to check the author’s use of evidence.
 Does the author present more positive evidences to support one side of an
issue?
 Does the author present more negative evidences to disprove one side of an
issue?
Here are some guide questions to check the author’s diction.
 Does the author use more positive words and expressions to present one side
of an issue?
 Does the author use more negative words and expressions to present one side
of an issue?
Following the guide questions given in the discussion, let’s analyze the evidences and the diction used by the
author.
For the evidences:
Based on the table above, you will notice that the author has presented more
positive evidences of going to the beach than going to the mountain.
You will also notice that there is an unfair presentation of the evidences. The
author emphasized the dangers on going to the mountain but failed to present the
dangers on going to the beach like drowning.
For the diction:

The author used more positive words such as highlighting the benefits of going
to the beach, but he/she used negative words when referring to going to the mountain
such as dangerous and danger. These words give a negative impression to the readers
making the author biased as he/she was favoring one idea over the other. He/she
also failed to present both advantages and disadvantages about going to the beach
and going to the mountain in a more balanced and objective way.
EXAMPLE:
Complete the table by citing the evidences that show that the author is
for and against the topics. Then, determine which of the two topics the author favors
more. Write your answers on a separate sheet of paper
EVIDENCES:
DOGS – dogs are better choice for they are fun to play with, and they can be trained as service dogs to help
humans.
