Authors Purpose and The Tone Words..

WEDNESDAY~29/02/12



Today we learnt about authors purpose and the tone words.. 

Important reasons for author's to write:
1) entertain - The author tells a story that describes something or someone in an interesting way.
2) persuade - The author tries to change our opinion on a topic by appealing to our emotions.
3) instruct - The author will explain or teach something in the story that the reader doesn’t know.  The author   
                   provides knowledge to the reader.
4) describe - Authors often describe to support other purposes in writing. They use it to create a character,  
                     set a mood or envision a scene.






What is tone?
Tone-writer’s use of words and writing styles to demonstrate his or her stand towards the issue..


There are so many types of tone. As example:
•Compassionate 
•Cynical
•Bitter
•Indignant
•Evasive

•Optimistic
