Author’s Purpose • There are four main purposes for writing: to persuade, to inform, to express ideas or feelings, and to entertain. • After you finish reading a selection, you should think about whether the author met his or her purpose in writing and why the author was or was not successful.
Persuasive Devices • In the Chimpanzees I Love, Goodall presents facts, expert opinion, and both logical and emotional arguments to persuade readers that people should treat chimpanzees humanely. • Some persuasive writing, however, relies on devices that are less valid such as bandwagon, loaded words, and testimonial. Be aware of these common persuasive devices.
Persuasive Devices • Vague generality is a statement that is intentionally broad or vague, such as “Chimpanzees are the coolest animals!” • Sweeping generalization overstates a situation, such as “No one cares about chimpanzees because they’re animals.”
