Determining Author’s Purpose

Remember!

Author’s purpose is the reason(s) an author has for writing a particular work.
The four most common author purposes are to inform, to persuade, to express an opinion or emotion, and to entertain.
The purpose often affects the tone—the author’s attitude toward the subject. In addition, the purpose and structure of the work are often linked.
