Today in class, 10/6/16, we went over how our writing should be Objective over Subjective. We spent the first ten minutes or so going over and defining these two words, learning how they should be applied to our writing.
Subjective: (Biased)
How the 'subject' views/analyzes the 'object'
Ex. Mr Rivers bikes into town.
Subject What the subject is doing.
Uses statements like: "I feel..." or "The audience feels..."
Uses words like 'I' or 'You', helps get a point across, or persuade
Objective:
-Represents anything
Ex. "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" (Though you cant physically hold the speech itself...just paper, but not the words...)
Look at it as an object Push objectivity
Avoid words like 'I' or You', you don't want them in this kind of writing.
Focus on the object, a thing that stays the same.
After this lesson we worked on our original and interrogated thesis statements and topic sentences to create our own body paragraph in an essay.
Interrogate: to ask questions
Who, what, where, when, why, how.
