Question

Alcatraz Island is in the middle of San Francisco Bay. In 1934, the federal government began using the military buildings there as a maximum security prison. Today, the prison is a tourist attraction. California's first lighthouse was built on the island. What is the author's viewpoint?

Answer 1

The author presents a neutral point of view.

Step-by-step explanation:

The author's point of view refers to the position he or she has about the subject he is writing. This refers to the author's feelings about his text and the way he passes the information on to readers.

The author's point of view can be positive, negative or neutral. In the excerpt shown in the question above, we can say that the point of view is black, since the author does not express his opinion, nor his feeling about the subject he is writing, but only exposes the facts, without assuming a positive or negative.
