For example, she states, “[Armstrong] was far more than a dreamer... he truly believed that he could... realize his dream of... piloting planes” (p15, ¶2). In other words, the author believes that Armstrong did not just dream of flying, but was destined to become a great pilot ever since he was a child. The bias in the quote is positive, as the author complements…
