The discovery of a wild coyote in late 1997 in the Henry M. Jackson Federal Building in downtown Seattle should come as a wake-up call. The United States has a serious coyote problem! From their traditional enclaves in the western desert, these opportunistic canines have now invaded the entire continental United States. They have taken over parks, farms, vacant lots, and now perhaps the downtown areas of major cities. Homeowners report losing cats and dogs to the beasts, and young children are under attack. Enough is enough. Since humans are the only natural enemy of coyotes, we demand that state and federal agencies institute coyote trapping programs. That is the only way to decrease the number of coyotes to a manageable level. WHAT IS THE AUTHOR'S POINT OF VIEW?

The author feels coyotes are dangerous

The author loves coyotes and thinks everyone should adopt one.

The author feels that humans are the problem

What is the definition of author's point of view ?

What the author is writing about

What is the author's point of view of the movie "Hidden Figures"? This film has great acting and brings to light history of our space program that I had never been made aware of. Not only does it show how African American women contributed to mathematics but also to computer science and engineering!! Great movie and should be required viewing in every school!

She thinks it was great and taught viewers about who made an impact in the space program

She thinks it was a horrible movie and a waster of money

She thinks it was boring and not worth going to the theater

She thinks it was alright and somewhat entertaining

What is the author's point of view on the iPhone 7? If you want a small Apple phone you'd be better off opting for the iPhone SE. Alternatively check out our iPhone 7 Plus review. Yes that phone is even more expensive, but it lasts a lot longer and has an even better camera that offers proper zoom. There is one other option to consider too if you're hooked on Apple. The iPhone 6S Plus remains a great phone, has strong battery life and costs exactly the same as the iPhone 7.

He thinks that iPhone SE, 7, and/or 7 Plus is better and costs the same.

He thinks the iPhone 7 is the best invention yet.

He thinks the iPhone 7 is the worst thing to happen to technology.

He doesn't care about the iPhone 7.

What is the author's point of view on school uniforms? A shirt, tie and blazer may not be the ingredients for my favourite outfit, but if I were given the choice, I wouldn't throw away the idea of school uniform. Wearing a uniform is a badge of pride, creates an identity for a school and is an important part of being a school student.

She thinks they aren't the best but they give students pride and are important.

She doesn't care about school uniforms.

She thinks every school in America should wear a uniform to school.

She thinks they are the worst thing ever and students should be able to wear what they want to school.

Which of the following might NOT be good strategy questions to ask in order to find out the author's point of view or perspective?

Does the author enjoy chocolate cake?

Based on the title, why do think the author wrote this selection?

How did the author influence your response to the selection?

Was the author’s purpose specifically stated?
