Bilgewater: Context and Cohesion

Task C - Other markers of the candidate's viewpoint

We have just seen how the deictic markers in the narration consistently anchor us to the viewpoint of the character, and in discussing the sentences we concentrated on, we also noticed one or two other ways the candidate's viewpoint was expressed, in addition to the deixis.

In this task, we want you to concentrate on viewpoint markers other than deixis. Look at the passage as a whole and note down in general terms the other ways in which the candidate's viewpoint is indicated.
Then compare your conclusions with ours.
