8.SI.1.3

Let's say someone is reading an artical on the internet about a crime. There is also a second version of the crime that the person's friend read, but this one is from a different point of view. Later they talk, and person 1 says that the man assaulted another man after the second man slapped the back of his head. Person 2 argues that the second man was simply walking by when the first man started to insult him and the second man slapped him out of anger, which caused the assault. Both point of views contain bias. Bias is the opinion of a person. The two brawling characters intents are unknown, but they are both telling the story from their points of view(POV). According to the first man, he was slapped in the back of the head for no reason. But from what the second man said, he was insulted until he got angry, which caused him to slap the first man. Although they are both from different POVs, they have one thing in common. They both mentioned the second man slapping the first man. With both stories, with the evidence of the second man slapping the first man, the first story now seems more likely to some people. Others, however, would just say he slapped the man in retaliation to the insults. The insult part seems to be a sort of "cover up" to give the second man a fake reason to slap the first man. The intentions of the second man is unknown, but the first man may have had an intention, if his story is actually true. The second man's intention may have been to mug the man if said story is true.
