An author may write to persuade you, to inform you, to entertain you, or to express ideas or feelings. The kinds of ideas and the way the author states them help you see the author’s purpose.

Author’s Purpose There are 3 main purposes an author has for writing: Inform - gives information Entertain – tells a story; tries to entertain Persuade – tries to get the reader to do or believe something

Author’s Purpose In addition to these 3 main reasons for writing, an author may have another purpose: He or she may be expressing personal ideas or views.
