States an authors purpose

RL.10.ST.10.01
hit 4:


1) The first issue of wolverine, published by marvel in 1982.
Authors purpose: entertain, i know this because wolverine is a comic book.

2) A pamphlet explaining how an unborn child may be affected when a pregnant mother smokes.
Authors purpose: i think this not only informs, but also persuades. it is a pamphlet, so its made
to inform. but by informing your getting them to not smoke while they are pregnant, and thats persuading.

3) a novel about a young girl faced with a difficult decision after getting pregnant her junior year.
Authors purpose: this is probably meant to entertain, as humans enjoy the drama of others. however it may also be informing- mabey the story has a moral?

4)the terms of service for facebook:
Authors Purpose:
the terms of use are an information ridden list of rights you have with facebook and also they persuade you to not take content when they list the disciplinary actions to be taken when you dont follow by the rules.

5)a speech written urging young people to stay in school.
authors purpose: to persuade kids to stay in school.

6)Directions to a mall
authors perpose: to inform you how to get to the mall.

7)the ingredients listed on the side of a candy bar wrapper:
authors perpose: the author, the candy bar company, wouldent have put it there if they didnt have to:
the point though is to inform the reader of the candy bars ingredients.


8)the lyrics to "billy jean"
the lyrics have little to no meaning as far as i know: so mainly, especially since its a song, are meant to entertain.

9)a letter from a pregnant girl to her boyfriend giving reasons why they should keep the baby.
authors purpose: to persuade the boyfriend.

10)the instuctions for a new touch screen tablet pcs.
