Okay, I have a question related to text response essays
I wrote this in one of my essays and was curious as to whether or not it was wrong:
'As viewers we are only offered an insight into...'
OR is it better to write
'Viewers are only offered an insight into...'
In my mind the first option appears wrong because of the use of 'we', but it somehow keeps on slipping its way into my essays.
It's been ebbing away in the back of my mind for a while now.
Yeah avoid the use of personal pronouns which include you int he piece, you're better off considering yourself as a non-agent in the whole essay author-audience relationship situation.

“We are all alone, born alone, die alone, we shall all someday look back on our lives and see that, in spite of our company, we were alone the whole way. I do not say lonely -- at least, not all the time -- but essentially, and finally, alone. This is what makes your self-respect so important, and I don't see how you can respect yourself if you must look in the hearts and minds of others for your happiness.”
― Hunter S. Thompson
