Most awards raise a cacophony of sentiment, from praise and admiration to protests or just plain head-scratching.
Mohandas Gandhi's name is virtually synonymous with peace, and yet, after five nominations, he was never given the award, which is unjust.
We know Nobel's relationship with Countess Bertha von Suttner (née Kinsky), a peace campaigner, had a huge effect.

Several excerpts contain subjective language:

- Sentence 1: "Most awards raise a cacophony of sentiment, from praise and admiration to protests or just plain head-scratching." — phrases like "cacophony of sentiment" and "just plain head-scratching" are subjective/evaluative.

- Sentence 2: "Mohandas Gandhi's name is virtually synonymous with peace, and yet, after five nominations, he was never given the award, which is unjust." — explicitly subjective because of "which is unjust."

- Sentence 3: "We know Nobel's relationship with Countess Bertha von Suttner (née Kinsky), a peace campaigner, had a huge effect." — "huge effect" is evaluative and therefore subjective.

Sentence 4 is objective (describes the book's purpose).
