I selected Farkle and Forbidden Island to compare and contrast for this assignment. I will be using point-by-point method to analyze my opinion.

Both documents stay with a semi-formal tone throughout. They also remain consistency by using personal pronouns like “You” and “Yours” to address readers. There is no overly informal tone appear in both documents.
13. Is the writing free of implied bias or offensive language?
Both documents are free of implied bias and offensive language. In both instructions, the author does not mention gender and use sexist pronouns.

There’s no needless jargon appear in both documents. The phrases and terms they used can understood by general audience. Professional terms are avoided when giving instruction.
