Purpose and Tone :D

Miss Zue asked our class to print out past three semester final exam question. We need it in order to make us more familiar to the format of the paper and how the question will be like. Two of the questions ask about the purpose and tone so on this class we learnt about it :)

There are four purpose of the author in general :-

1) to entertain - the author tells something or someone in an interesting way like short story, novel or gossip article maybe???

2) to persuade - the author tries to change our opinion on any topic or issue by appealing our emotion. It usually comes in advertisement.

3) to instruct-the author will expalin or teach the readers on how to do something.  Usually teh author will provide knowledge to the reader through this purpose.

4) to describe - the author often describe to support other purposes in writing. they use it to create a character, set a mood or envision a scene.

Tone whereby is the uses of the word of the author or his/her styles of writing to demonstrate their idea towards the issue.

There are so many tones like sarcastic, cynical, optimistic, objective, pessimistic, bitter, mocking, compasionate and much more.

Okay this is all for this class. Pstt... Want to know what happen to our last class? Read my coming post :'( and.... we will be getting our quiz on the argumentative essay mark.
