Author’s Purpose Notes

Author’s Purpose= why he/she is writing, what he/she is trying to achieve Can be more than one, but usually one main purpose Examples: To inform or explain To persuade, convince To express thoughts/ feelings To entertain

How do you figure it out? Think: Who is the audience? What does the author want to happen? What choices did he/she make with subject, tone, diction, details, and words?

Author’s Perspective= the lens through which a writer looks at a topic, influenced by their values, experiences, feelings Think about focus, word choice, tone

Point of View vs. Perspective Both are similar Perspective- about the author’s background and experiences, feelings, where he is coming from Point of View-how the story is being told (1st or 3rd person, who is the narrator) Elephant pic links to pov squirrel video
