Article Evaluation: Tone

Overall, the author seems to attempt to keep the article neutral but fails in a few instances. First, her word choice in the first sentence of the chapter 6 analysis displays diction favorable towards Rankine's attempt at engaging empathy in the reader. In conjunction, the author of this article displays bias when they say, " In addition, in this passage the author gave a hidden answer to the question of racism. The author used second person as an argument and way of pointing fingers to denunciate an ongoing injustice of human segregations. Rankine used these continued passages as a reminder of the black American history that continues to exist in this century." This is bias, because she exclaims that the author has provided an "answer", but that is only in the writes opinion, not of known fact.
