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.
