In a novel, the author's purpose is to:

A farmer began milking. He got a gallon of milk from Bessie, two gallons from Bonnie, and a half-gallon from Betsy,
"This is great!" he said. "Now I'll milk Daisy, and I'll have at least four gallons!" Unfortunately, daisy had no milk.
"Daisy, you're an udder failure," the farmer said.

Dear Edith,
Pets should be allowed in restaurants. I brought my dog to dinner, and the waiter threw us out. He said that dogs were dirty, but my dog is cleaner than many people. I know! It's not fair - it's a ridiculous rule, and it should be changed.

Ladies and Gentlemen,
You should purchase a ferret for a pet. These animals make great pets because they are friendly, curious, and entertaining. Some people say they smell bad, but they don't. They are cute and cuddly. I have seven ferrets, so you can believe what I say.
