Role of Author

The overall feeling, created by the essay or article
"BOREDOM!!! SHOOTING!!! SHELLING!!! PEOPLE BEING KILLED!!! DESPAIR!!! HUNGER!!! MISERY!!! FEAR!!!" Zlata wanted you to see all the terrible things that were happening in Sarajevo. Pg. 365
Author's style
The way he or she puts ideas into words.
"BOREDOM!!! SHOOTING!!! SHELLING!!! PEOPLE BEING KILLED!!! DESPAIR!!! HUNGER!!! MISERY!!! FEAR!!!" Is how Zlata wrote in her diary, I think it's pretty childish. Pg. 365
Author's purpose
Reflect
Zlata wrote her diary to reflect about her life during the war.
Persuade
Richard Durbin wrote "Preserving a Great American Symbol" to persuade his fellow congressmen to not get rid of the wooden baseball bat.
Inform
Russell Freedom wrote "A Backwoods Boy" to inform about Abraham's life.
Entertain
I feel that Beverly Cleary wrote "The Platoon System" to entertain her reader. I personally though it was humorous, but it was also there to inform about her times in school.
Reason For Writing
Author's Influence
Includes heritage, culture, and personal beliefs.
Beverly Cleary talked about how the awful sixth graders had turned into terrible seventh graders and what they did and said.
My Reflections
I personally like "A Backwoods Boy." It was very interesting and gave a lot of information. Abraham Lincoln should be admired, he was very brave, courageous, and determined. It was full of statistics, facts, and anecdotes. I loved reading those side stories about the Abraham. "A Backwoods Boy" is an important essay for students to know about.
