**Objective**
information is observable and factual: able to be seen, touched, smelled, tasted, or proven. It is able to be counted, described, or imitated. It is as close to the truth as we can get and is the same from multiple reports. There are no personal opinions or viewpoints in objective language. Formal voice and academic writing both rely on objective language. information is opinion, judgment, assumption, belief, rumor, suspicion, or other unprovable information. It is colored by the observer, and brings in personal opinions and viewpoints. Your first narrative essay uses a lot of subjective language, but all others after that should rely on objective language.
