Author’s
purpose is as easy as “PIE”
Persuade
Inform
Entertain
You did a wonderful job explaining an author's purpose in writing. Using PIE will help me to remember persuade, inform, and entertain. Do you think it's okay to have all three in one writing? I write a blog for my business website of stand up paddle boarding and I would like to do all three of these things. I want to persuade people to paddle board with me. I also want to inform and educate them about the sport of stand up paddle boarding. Lastly, I would like to entertain them with my writing and keep it funny so that they will keep coming back to my web page/blog.
