When we compare two things, we consider what is similar about them and what is different about them. Two people could write about the same subject and have different perspectives. Imagine if a person who loves football and a person who hates it both described a football game. They would be describing the same thing, but the language they used to talk about it would be very different. Comparing writers’ perspectives is not about saying who is right or wrong or which is better. It’s about looking at how they use language to present their perspective and influence the reader.
Comparison
Back
AO3 of the English Language assessment objectives looks at comparing writers’ ideas and perspectives. You’ll be asked to look at two texts that are both about the same topic. You’ll then compare the two texts to analyse the ways in which they are similar and different. This could include:
- how the writers feel about the subject;
- how the writers make the audience feel about the subject;
- how the writers use language and structure to get their ideas across.
