Author's PurposeAn author informs by writing just the facts of the topic.
An author entertains with details, dialogue and description. An author persuades with evidence to support an opinion. An author expresses by sharing the feelings of their heart. An author writes for many purposes, some of which are to inform, entertain, persuade, or express a mood or feeling. An author may have more than one purpose for writing. The author's purpose may be directly stated, but sometimes you have to figure it out on your own. When readers can identify the author's purpose, they can also figure out how best to read the text. For example, if the author's purpose is to inform, readers should read the text slowly so that they can remember the information. If it is to entertain, they can read it a bit faster and focus on creating their own mind-movie!
