Tone and Balance

Guiding questions

• Is the article neutral? Yes
• Are there any claims that appear heavily biased toward a particular position? There is one sentence that refers to the Tractarians as hostile, I think it's presumptuous to use the word hostile to describe them because it suggests to the readers that the group of people were unfriendly.

• Does the article attempt to persuade the reader in favor of one position or away from another? Only in what I stated above.
