This document discusses the differences between subjective and objective points of view in writing. Subjective means personal or based on feelings, while objective means factual and unbiased. Some types of writing, like biographies and autobiographies, contain a mix of both. To determine if a piece of writing is subjective or objective, the reader should ask if the focus is on facts or feelings, and if it is focused on the subject or the writer. Examples are provided to illustrate the difference. The document also provides guidance on distinguishing facts from opinions to help determine subjectivity vs objectivity.
