I am reading Heaven is For Real by Todd Burpo. I just finished the book and am about to start the 2nd book. The authors purpose is to inform the readers about a 3 year old who visited heaven and came back. The authors point of view is 1st person becuase they use I alot.
I currently aam reading Traitors. My books author is Andrew Snaden. I am curently on page 75. My authors purpose I believe is to entertain because its full of action and adventure. My authors point of view is 3rd person.
I just finished reading The Last Song by Nicholas Sparks. Ithink the author's purpose for writing the book was to entertain the readers. The book makes you feel a lot of different emotions, at one point you'll be laughing out loud then the next minute you'll be on the verge of tears. But this book also gives you a lot of information like on turles and piano playing, but that is just a minor part. Over all, this book never failed to entertain me. :)
zphillips5: That book sounds very good and the book I was reading was also to entertain.
I am currently reading the Black Duck. I am on page 225. The authors purpose is to entertain the reader, because its a mystery. You never want to put the book down and it seems like your watching a movie when you read it. The authors point of view is first person because there telling a story, but its also thrid person because when the charactor isnt telling what he experienced, the narrator is.
anichols2: I was about to read that book but I didnt, it sounds SO good.
I am reading witch and wizard the gift I am on page 106 it’s by James Patterson. My book is to entertain because it is all about this young girl and her older brother and they both have magical powers thus the name witch and wizard. I am really enjoying it. I think the author’s point of view was to simply entertain the reader not to inform about anything or to persuade and definitely not to explain anything. It is simply made to be read not to do anything else it is for enjoyment ONLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
JDewitt: I like the descriptions that you gave when you explain why the book was entertainment.
P.S. your perfect lets get married. <3
The book i just finshed is called the "zobmie valitine".It about a girl named xia that come in the middle of then school year and dose not talk. wierd right?then troy start to investagate about it. Although she cant talk she can mind talk. even weirder! Then she lead him into the wood tio tell him about her father being mindwashed whitch turned him into a zombine, she asked him to help her get rid of the zombine poison that mindwashes her father.
The authors purpose of my book is to inform and to explain.the authors point of view for my book is like to explain the out look of his life.the title of my previous book is catch this the author is Terrell Owens and Steven somthing.Iam currently done with the book. :)
I just finished Someone Like You by Sarah Dessen. I believe the author's purpose for writing this book is definitely to entertain, to share a love story in the life of a group of teenagers. The author's point-of-view was probably that you should be careful because anything could happen and change your life just like that. Also, I think she wanted to show that you should spend every moment you have with someone well because unfortunantly they could be gone the next day. Like Micheal passed away just a day after Scarlett saw him and she was stuck to take care of a baby the rest of her life, while it would have been so different if he was there.
jdewitt6, it sounds like you picked a great book! I want to read this book now after I heard about how much you liked it. IS this one fo your favorite books now?
anichols2, that sounds very interesting! How does it say she visited Heaven? Does it say she died, then came back to life or she jsut went there and came back down?
I am reading The Great Wide sea by M.H Herlong.I am roughly two thirds of the way done.The purpose is to entertain with a exciting and changing story.The point of view is first person because of the term I.Also I am realy liking this book.
Anichols2, are you sure its inform it sounds like entertain.
It sounds like JDewitt6 book is realy entertaining.
I finished my book Flipped by Wendelin Van Draanen 2 weeks ago. I'm currently working on my second book, Perfect You. I think the author's purpose for the book, Flipped, was to entertain. I believe it was to entertain because throughout the book it can be funny, sad,and even romantic. The authors point of view is 2nd person because there is two sides to the story.It flips back and forth between two characters telling you the story.This book was really good and I enjoyed it alot.
sbogue2:
I loved that book! Good choice
Anichols2:
That sounds like a good book. Did you like it?
I have finished reading Warriors: Omen of the Stars: The fourth apprentice by Erin Hunter. I believe my authors pupose is to entertain. She is not persuading anyone or informing anyone. I believe the point of view in my book is third-person subjective. You change point of view (character POV) in every chapter. By the way, I never saw the video. Is it important?
The book that I just currently finished is "Among the Hidden". The author of my book is Magaret P. Haddix.I'v just finished the book, so i'm not on a current page. The Author's Purpose is to explain how foodlost empacted the population. I think her point of view is that in the future we might over-populate and there could be a possibility that the goverment could enforce a law that we have to limit down to about two children per family.
ejones6, Did you read a biography? A little more detail about the book but good overall.
TMartinez5, Yes the video is important, she showed it in class. I have read "Warriors" great book!
The book I am reading is Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonixby J.K Rowling.I am on page 83.The authors purpose is to entertain.I believe it is to entertain because it has alot of fantasy.My authors point of view is narrator.
jdewitt6 your book sounds good and my book is also to entertain.
anichols2 your book sounds very entertaining and informative.
jdewitt6,
I liked that book but it was very fun. I agree that the Last Song was to entertain.
i read framed and the author is Gordon Korman. I think the authors point is to entertain. Because he puts in a mystery to make you wonder who it is. He also puts in strange caracters to keep it enteresting. And i just finished the book.
I like pdixon6 blog because it's very descriptive.
zphillips5 book sounds interesting.
I just finished Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, by J.K. Rowling. I believe that the Author's Purpose for writing is to entertain the reader. She does a good job at this, because whenever I am reading the Harry Potter series, I can never put the book down. It entertains me so well. I think that the Author enjoys magic and exploring what she can do to expand the stories and details. I think that she probably enjoys the thought of magical powers, wands, witches, and wizards.
pdixon6;
That seems like a really interesting book to read, maybe I'll read it.
nmongo2;
That sounds like an interesting book. It reminds me of the show Terra Nova, how they were only allowed to bring 2 children with them..
The book I'm reading is called Firestar's quest by Erin Hunter, and I just completed reading the book. The author's point in writing this book was for enterainment, because it includes a plot about overcoming something that doesn't generally happen in real life, since it includes talking cats that gather in clans.
@anichols2
In my own personal perspective, I would think that this would be something more entertainment, since it has to do with someone ggoing to heaven, and their travels. However, I don't have enough information to conclude this.
@zphillips5
What's Traitors about? It sounds like a good book.
I am currently on page 186 of The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks.The author's purpose is to entertain readers with a true love story. The authors point of view is in first person because the main character Noah explains how he feels about his true love Allie, and seeing her for the first time. This book is really addicting and I'm really enjoying it.
I just finished reading the book Peeled, by Joan Bauer. The author's purpose of this book is to entertain people with a story that builds up suspense and curiosity. A topic in my book is that people think a ghost was haunting their town and seeking revenge on innocent bystanders who crossed his path. I think the author's point of view on this topic, is that people normally find ghost stories interesting and that you never know what people could believe from something they think is realistic. This book turned out to be really good. It went a little slow throughout all of the reading, but by the end I was actually extremely glad that I decided to read it.
astine2, whenever you're reading a book in the Harry Potter series doesn't it take your imagination into the world, and wish that everything in the book (minus you know all the deatheaters and stuff) could be real and like literally experienced by you? I want to meet the actors and actresses who played the parts in the movie so badly it's not even funny. Have you seen all of the movies?
khaldamen2, have you ever watched the movie for that? I mean, I know it was kind of innapropriate, but it was so adorable and sweet. Is the book better than the movie? I imagine they would be the same because they are both such a good love story and it's also sad, that I don't think you could really change how good it is, but it might be possible, so what do you think?
sbogue2,
I know alot of people who have read that and they said it was awesome.
The title of my book is "The Boy Who Dared", by Susan Campbell Bartolotti. I think the aurtor's purpose is to inform. The book goes into a lot of detail about what the Nazis did. They harrassed the Jews and made them wear symbols to show that they were Jews. The author explains how life was in Germany.
kflanagan6, it sounds like a good book. How many pages are in it?
I just finished reading the book Twisted, by Sara Sheppard. I think the purpose of the author writing this book is to entertain. It's a mystery and realistic fiction. It always has me flipping pages for hours, and wondering what's going to occur next. Sara leaves you hanging with jaw-dropping endings and events that you would think never to happen. I really enjoyed the book, just like I enjoy all the other books in the Pretty Little Liars series.
msimons6,
aren't those books really lon. How long do you think it will take to finish the book?
The authirs purpose for writing my book fallen is to interest young readers and to try to get them to read more. I am currently on page 275 and im still not really sure who the author is.
JDewitt6,
I agree with what you said! The book had me crying for laughter and tears! I love that book. Overall, it was always be one of my favorite books of all time. Hope you enjoyed it. :)
anichols2 How did he get to heaven? did he die and come back to life or almost die?
I think the author's purpose for writing this book was to entertain and prsuade. He makes the book funny and u want to read more of them. Well the author's piont of view is with Greg i think. I was reading Diary of a wimpy kid: Rodrick rules.Im done with the book.
I am reading Gone by Lisa McMann. I’m currently on page 157. My author’s purpose in writing this book is to entertain the readers about a girl who gets placed into others dreams. Her point of view is first person. This book is the last book to the Wake series and it has been a great series to read, so far I’m kind of confused on what choice the main character will make.
@msimons6,
How is the book? I heard that the books are way better then the movie.
AStine2
Maybe Ill let you borrow the first book and the secound when I'm finished but keep an eye out because more books to the serious should be coming out soon as well.
khaldmen2
I enjoyed the book very much as well the best part in the book for me is the reunion between Noah and Allie it is a bitter sweet moment to me :)
@ kwilliams2,
what is your book about?
My book is to inform people about diving. The author’s point of view is to tell you about scuba diving, the hazards of it, and how to teach it.
the book is called hatchet. i jus got done reading this book but i left off on page 195. i think the authors purpose was to entertain and inform how to survive in the forest.from my point of veiw i think that brian has had a really hard time with the divorce from his parents and with being stuck in the forest but some how he pulls himself together.i think the point of this book would be keep moving foward. this book is written by gary paulsen and its still the best book i ever read.
Anichols2 can you please explain to me a brief description of that book?
KFLANINAGON
Is that better then the book ? sound like the book is better.
I just finished reading The Last Song by Nicolas Sparks the page i last read was 463. I believe it was to entertain, with all the love and the problems for her summer and the summer romance. The authors point of view on the topic that her dad has cancer is 3rd person, becuase it uses he and she and is in everyones thoughts. Also it is the sadness because when he dies.
I just finished reading Latasha Holcy In His Hands, I really enjoyed it. The authors point of veiw is 1st person because it's a autobiography and she uses I alot.
Jdewitt
I think that the entertainment never failed, like the detail he uses to describe everyone and what he talks about, also the summer romance.
anichols2 ive heard of that stoy I have wanted to read it because it sounds like an amazing true story.
I am reading The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman. I'm on page 131.The authors purpose is to entertain because it is a fantasy and most fantasies are to entertain. It’s a fantasies because its about ghosts. The author’s point of view is third person because they only used “I” in dialogue.
JDEWITT6
THAT SOUND LIKE AN EMOTION CHANGER BOOK.
I am currently reading “Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince” By J.K. Rowling. I am on page 100. I really like it. From experience, I know that my Rowling wanted to entertain her readers by writing a fantasy book. Her point of view is 3rd person. I know this because she doesn’t say “I did the spell” She Says “Harry did the spell”
Potterfreak
nlowery6
where the red fern grows.Is an american classic that will bring a grown man to teers
the book im reading is Esperanza Rising by Pam Muñoz Ryan. I'm in the middle of it now and the authors purpose is to entertain because there is a girl who has to leave her home in el rancho de las rosas mexico. She has to work but she has never worked in her life. The book is in first person. because they say i alot. also it sounds like first person.
@hpeel2
I heard that's a great book, i may read it next.
Ebayer6, is that a good book? I saw all the movies but I haven't read the books. Which Harry potter book is your favorite?
sbogue2,
That book is a great book. It really shows teens how hard it is to through pregnancy at such a younge age. Scarlett handled it really well; she had her mom pressuring her, her boyfriend passing away, and more problems throughout the story. Hope you liked MYYYY book :)
anicjols2; that sounds like a good book maybe i will try that one next
I have just started the book The Lying Game by Sara Shepard. Right now I am on page 48. The purpose of this book is to entertain. There is no information or persuasion in this story so the only option left is to entertain. It also is partly a mystery which usually is a entertaining purpose.
pdixion6; wow... that book sounds intresting it almost makes me think of harry potter
I think the authors purpose is to entertain because through out the story theres humor but theres also many bad things that happen. I think she has entertained me very well. I really like the book so far but theres alot of deaths. My book is the yearling and the author is Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings and i am on page 508. I would recommend it to any one that can take sadness.
Kflanagan6: I have heard really good things about that book I hope that you enjoy and I might read that book next.
I am currently finished with schooled, the author is Gordon Korman but I am looking for a new book at this minute. I think the author’s purpose of this book was to entertain because he takes a boy who is excluded from the world and puts him into a public school.
I think his point of view of this book schooled is that anybody can be popular. He means everybody, and I think he also thinks that we need to reach to our highest.
@Zphillips5 By third person do you mean someone has been writing about the main character the whole time?
@JDewitt6 I love that book black duck and I really love mysteries even more.
I am currently reading Hoot, by Carl Hiaasen and I am on page 58. Carl Hiaaasen's purpose for writing this book is to entertain the reader. It is not a very serious book and attempts to make things funny. I think the point of veiw the author has on the main topic of this book, which is the protection of animals suchs as the burrowing owl, is very serious. Though Hiaasen attempts to hide it in this book underneath humor and excitement.
ebayer6 what did you mean by "potterfreak"?
JDewitt6, The last song seems like an awesome book!
I am currently reding the book Diary of a Wimpy kid: The Ugly Truth, by Jeff Kinney. I'm currently on page 111, and I think the auther's purpose is to entertain. His point-of-view is a middle school boy named Greg heffley having social prolems in his life. He uses jokes and funny scenes in the book to entertain the reader. He had a fight with his best friend Rowley and has some hardships with his family in this book. He needs to do something quick to get the friendship ontrack again.
His point of view is 1st person because he uses I
Zphillips5; that book sounds alot like the homelanders series. I might red that after The Final Hour. Also I forgot to actually put the point of view in the paragraph so I put it on the next comment. And the sjun1 was a mistake.
pdixon6, is that book like Harry Potter? I have lots of books I want to read this year.
I am reading Passion and Purity by Elizabeth Elliot and am on page 14. Her purpose for writing this book was to inform, explain, and persuade. The whole book is about her relationship with her former husband, Jim, who was killed by Indians in the Equadorian Jungle. She is informing you how they fell in love and about their adventures. While she explains to you what she thinks is an honorable relationship. Also, she is trying to persuade you to think the way she thinks.
JDewitt6, that sounds like a really cool book!
JDennis5, I think mysteries are my favorite type of book. What's yours?
Title:Ride the Wind
Author:Lucia St.Clair Robson
Page:390
I think the Author's Purpose of this book was to entertain, describing the life of a young woman. But it is also to inform, I have learned a lot about the commanche way of life back when Texas was close to becoming a state.
JDewitt6,
I have never read that book, but it seems entertaining. And I'd like to read it sometime
JHouston6,
That's what I thought when I had read the book, It's definitely an enjoyable read
I am currently reading the 5th book in the Pretty Little Lairs series I am on the 13th chapter. Again I love this book! With the author Sara Shepard you never know whats going to happen to them next! I think these books ensnare my attention by having the most subtle detials, I also feel that the authors purpose is to entertain, I feel that way because the book is always having me on the edge of my seat I never feel like the charecters are secure so I have to keep reading. The book Series was made into a t.v. show which is on its 256 or something like that episode.
sbuogue2..That seems like a great book. I agree with you Love storys definatley count as entertainment..well at least for girls, haha(: I really want to read that book, did you like it a lot? Do you know if it has a movie?
bferguson..I am pretty obsessed with the books, The books leave me the same way if I don't finish it in a day then I will start reading it on the next morning. I hope you enjoyed reading them!
I think that the porpose is to ententarin you. Because I from reading the book have come to learn that the boy just wants to solve a problem.
The book that I just recently finished was called Vampire Kisses by Ellen Schreiber. I think the authors purpose of writing the book was to entertain you and to tell you to not judge people by rumors you hear about them, because they could actually be really friendly. That is what happens in the book were the main character is named Raven. She meets a guy named Alexander and everyone thought he was a vampire. But after Raven meets him, he turns out to be really nice. The author wants you to that not all rumors are true.
JDewitt6,
That sounds like a good book! I love books that have all different emotions.
sbogue2,
That book sounds really good! It sounds sad though.
bferguson2,
What book number is that in the series?
anichols2,
That actually sounds like a really good book. how is it so far?
My book is Halo: The Flood, by William C. Dietz. The authors purpose for writing this book was to entertain readers wit ha story about humanities willingness to survive any threat no matter how great. At the same time as he was writing to entertain, he was also trying to promote the video game franchise in which the book is based off. His point of view is not direct in the book but instead tells the story from the perspective of the main characters.
I am currrently reading is One True Friend. The authors is Joyce Hansen. I just started raeding this book so i am only on page 7. I think the author's pupose of this book is to explain, that if I was separated from my brothers and sisters, I would want to look from them also.
pdixon6, your book seems very interesting. I think James Patterson is a very good author.
msimons6, all Harry Potter books are very good and very entetaining because of all of the spells.
I am on page 33 of the Westing Game, by Ellen Raskin. I think the author’s purpose is to entertain, because the genre is mystery. Everyone is wondering who the heir of Samuel W. Westing is so they can obtain all of his money. I believe that Ellen wished that she were one of the characters in her book, because she’s describes the rooms in hotels as if she’s in a dream. In the book, you feel different feelings between the characters, whether they’re bratty and stubborn, or kind and nice. You also switch from all the characters’ views. Over all, details really make this book enjoyable!
Jdiehl6
I commend you on using our new vocabulary words for your blog!!!! You should get points for that!!!!
Spena6
Since you finished your book, you can do a mini project early!
i'm reading the clique novel but the name of the book is the pretty committee strikes back by Lisi Harrison page 124. This book is made only for entertainment. this book is about five girls Massie Block, Kristen Gregory, Dylan Marvil, Alicia Rivera, Claire Lyons. the show exactly where popular and rich meet. These girls are the only girls at ocd that make them popular but when the girls run into trouble and get expelled it's up to them to strike back.
zphillips5 that book sounds like a book i would like, full of action and adventure.
anichols2 i think that sounds like a weird book (not in a bad way) because the kid gos to heaven and back to earth.
I am currently reading Summer Ball by Mike Lupica. Right now i am around page 120. The authors purpose i think is to persuade you not to give up if things seem to tough. The author believes that even if you are the smallest person you can still do the biggest things.
Bhoffmann2, No I haven't seen the movie but I think that the book gives more details then the movie does. Although they are probably both sweet and sad.
I am reading This book isn't fat it's fabulous.By Nina Beck. The authors purpose is to entertain kids about liking your self. The person's point of view is 1st because they use I.
The book heaven seem kind of sad. tell me about it.
I think i might want to read the black duck-kflanagan6.
@aneal2 is that a good book
I finished reading Tender by Valerie Hobbs. The authors purpose was to intertain the reader about a girl who had to move to California after her grandmother die. The authors point of view is 3rd person.

ignore the last 3 Ms Thomas.
I finished reading Tender by Valerie Hobbs. The authors purpose was to intertain the reader about a girl who had to move to California after her grandmother dies. The authors point of view is 3rd person. I know because the author isnt in the story.She just narrarates.
I am reading Haddix The missing Book Found by Margaret Peterson. The Author's purpose is to entertain because he or she keeps you hooked and wondering what's next. The author's point of view in the third paragraph is in third person.I just started this book. I am currently on page 33.
@anichols2 Whats that book about! It sounds like a really great book.
@zphillips5 When you are finish with that you have to tell me the ending of it. It also sounds like a great book.
i read the hardy boys and the mummy case. its purpose is to entertain readers. The characters narrate their adventures in the first person. my books author is franklin. w . dixon. i have currently finished my book.
sjun2 that series is grawsom
I'm currently reading Go Big or Go Home by Will Hobbs. My books purpose it to give a burst of entertainment . You can tell the author wrote the book for entertainment purposes because he is always talking in a way that would give a spark to interest and imagination in the book and uses adventurous scenarios . The book is definitely from a 1st person point of view. The reasons why are cause not only does he refer to what he is doing by using I but he is constantly discussing his inner feelings and thoughts.
@Ntburke5....
Nice choice of book. It is another one of last years sunshine state readers and to the sounding of it, I might read it.
@bhoffman2 That sounds like a very interesting books. Ghost books can usually be enjoyed by a broad variety of people so I'm sure it was a great book.
I just started reading Woods Runner by Gary Paulson. I haven't read much of the book yet but i can tell that the author's purpose is to entertain. I can tell by reading the back of the book because it talks about the main character, Samuel. He is a young boy that lives in the country part of the U.S. when the Patriots are fighting against the British king near Boston. His parents are taken prisoners and he goes into hiding. You can tell that the story isn't to persuade because they aren't persuading anything. And they are not informing.
I am reading Double Dutch by Sharon Draper. I am on page 7 because I just started. The author's purpose is to entertain the reader about a girl who has a love for double dutch.It is also about secrets that people have. This is all I can really say because I'm not that far in the book.
Oh my gosh Sammie, i love that book. I read it last year but i didn't finish it, but I'm hoping to read it again this year.
kflanagan6, we read that bbook in 6th grade and it was very good, I hope you are enjoying it!
jdewitt6, your book sounds very interesting and I think I might want to read that book soon.
The book I'm currently reading is Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban by J.K. Rowling. I am on page two hundred and seventy nine, where they are in Hogsmeade. J.K. Rowling's purpose for writing this book is to entertain the reader throughout the book. The reason I know the author’s purpose is to entertain is because the book is for pure enjoyment. She’s not trying to persuade you to do/think something, and she’s also not trying to inform you because the book is not about trying to explain or provide information about a topic or an event. The fantasy genre of the book and the general theme of the book are to entertain you, it’s a book you should have fun reading.
lwooley5, That book sounds like a really fun read. Also, the message of "don't judge a book by its cover" is a great message.
fklanagan6, I love your simile when you say that when you read the book it was like you were watching a movie. The book must have had plenty of descriptive words if it was that visual.
I am currently reading Runaway by Wendelin Van Draanen. I finished this book few days ago. I think this authors purpose is inform. Because it shows a lot of ways and chanlanging to live the world and learn many things. And I think author's point-of-view is there's a lot of ways to solve the problems or situations you have if you think in positive way.
JDewitt6, I like the way you discribed your book, and it sounds really interesting.
Astephens5,I read the same authors book, Runaway. And I was trying to find another book what this author wrote. Your comment was helpful for me:)
I am currently reading Taken, by Edward Bloor. I am on page 31. The author's point of view is to entertain, because this book takes place in the future. Also, it tells a story about a new job occupation of kidnapping children and demanding there ransom. The author's point of view is first person, because they always refer to them self, by using the word I.
@scottr5 I read that book before. What has been your favorite part?
@zphillips5 That book sounds like it contains a lot of suspense.
astine2 sounds like a good book.i might read it im about to read the 4th harry potter book
spena6 is the last song book as good as the movie and the movie is pretty good i might read the book
anichols2 that book sounds very interesting.
kflanagan6 i read that book in 6th grade and thought it was awesome.
I am reading Warriors: The Sight by Erin Hunter. The authors main purpose is to entertain you with suspension,drama, and action. The book is in third person but it doesn't just have one main character it has three. The book talks about cats living in four different clans trying to survive to the fittest. I'm on page 12 in this book.
@zphillips5
That sounds like I good book, I'm hoping to read it in the next nine weeks
@kflanagan6
The Black Duck is one of the best historical fiction books I have read so far. It is absolutly amazing
The book i'm reading is double dutch by sharon draper and I am currently on page 10. since i just began this book i'm for sure what the author's purpose is. However from what i've read do far I thinks it's to entertain and it's somewhat to inform. It's entertaining because at school the students joke around with each other a lot. Also I think it will obviously inform you on the sport of double dutch.
anichols2: I liked how you explained why the author was trying to inform you.
jfox5: Your book sounds realy interesting. How many books are in the series?
wlawrence6
Your book sounds cool, I always love historical fiction books.
pdixon6
How do they do magic in your book? Is it like in the "Harry Potter" books.
I am reading A Time To Kill,by John Grisham. I'm on page 255. I think that the author is trying to entertain the reader. He provides a story that seems like it could really happen and it has a storyline that is hard not to read. Also he feels as if it is not right to commit crimes and hurt people.
anichols2,
That sounds like it could be interesting.

i have read that book before. it's pretty good.
I am reading Flush by Carl Hiaasen. I am currently on page 46. I think the authors purpose for this book is entertain because the main book is about this boys dad sank a floating casino. While, Its owner is dumping human waste in the water, and they go on and on about it and its quite entertaining.
pdixon, your book sounds very interesting and my book is also to entertain.
jdewitt6, it sounds like a good book i might want to read it sometime.
The authors purpose in The Bully was to inform people that there is more to someones life than you see, so dont judge people right then and there.
@pmoreau5- i like how you worded your response, and did a good explanation on your book.
@anichols2- I like how you explained your story and told us really what your authors purpose was.
The book im reading is Confessions of a Shopaholic by Sophie Kinstalla and the authors purpose is to entertain.The authors point of view is to describe about how Rebbeca Bloomwood gets through life as a shopaholic.Im on page 12. And its a really good book. Fist book that i've enjoyed sence the 2nd grade.
