Today BEL 260 class, we learnt about authors' purpose and tone in their writing. We need to focus what actually the author wants to tell in his/her writing. The important reasons for author's to write:
- to entertain - The author tells a story that describes something or someone in an interesting way.
- to persuade - The author tries to change our opinion on a topic by appealing to our emotions.
- to instruct - The author will explain or teach something in the story that the reader doesn’t know. The author provides knowledge to the reader.
- to describe - Authors often describe to support other purposes in writing. They use it to create a character, set a mood or envision a scene.
Next, we must know the tone that author use in the writing. Tone is the writer’s use of words and writing styles to demonstrate his or her stand towards the issue.
