2. Author’s Purpose
The author’s point of view
Depends on the purpose
There are many ways the author can portray
What they want to say
To persuade is just one
To entertain is another
To inform, To explain, Express an opinion,
To clarify, To convey a mood, To prove something to the reader,
Expose beliefs, or Share a story Decide the author’s purpose
Take a look at the main idea to find
A better vision inside the author’s mind
Everything you read has a point of view
Every author decides on a purpose too
If you want to know the author’s ultimate goal
Looking at the title or effects on the text
Is the best way to know
Determine the main idea if you don’t already know
