Herodotus

Herodotus was very opinionated in his writing. But because of this, he also left out some of the details. Instead he focused only on the main points of what had happened. This article is about defendants that were charged with terrorism and murder. Throughout the article, the main point is stated. However, there is a few amount of details located within it. The opinion of the author was not said in the actual words, but if you do read between the lines a reader could distinguish their opinion.


Thucydides

Thucydides was very precise when he wrote. He contained an immense amount of detail in his writing, but did not care for his opinion. Instead, he was unbiased when he wrote about a situation. This article is about what happened on September 11, 2001. There was a great amount of detail within the article. But clearly, there was also no opinion.
