When authors inform you of something, they give you information or teach you to do or make something. How can you tell if a text was written mainly to inform? Here's a hint: the author will stick mostly to facts.
Which of the following passages was written mainly to inform?
"In the ancient city of London, on a certain autumn day...a boy was born to a poor family who did not want him. On the same day another English child was born to a rich family of the name of Tudor, who did want him. All England wanted him too."
There are many different kinds of octopuses. Some are as small as 2 inches while some can grow as big as 18 feet. Octopuses have thousands of suckers on their arms that they use to taste and feel.
"When night is almost done,/ And sunrise grows so near/ That we can touch the spaces,/ It's time to smooth the hair/ And get the dimples ready,/ And wonder we could care/ For that old faded midnight/ That frightened but an hour."
"Once upon a time there lived a queen who had been the mother of a great many children, and of them all only one daughter was left. But then she was worth at least a thousand. Her mother...was so terribly afraid of losing her that she quite spoiled her, and never tried to correct any of her faults."
A purpose is a reason for doing something. So an author's purpose is the author's reason for writing something. The author's purpose could be to persuade you. This means that the author is trying to convince you of something. An author can also try to inform you or entertain you. When you're trying to decide what the author's purpose is, you should use evidence from the text, like words and phrases.
According to the passage, an author's purpose is?
the writer's reason for writing a text.
the universal message of a text.
the author's reason for becoming a writer.
the character who tells the story .
Writing that persuades, or tries to convince, can also inform. This is because authors sometimes use facts to support their opinions.
Read the following passage.
I believe that solar powered buildings are the future of architecture. A good example of this is the Mirebalais Hospital , which was built in Haiti in 2013. The hospital has 1800 solar panels that produce 140 megawatt-hours of electricity on a sunny day. That is more electricity than the hospital uses. The hospital is able to give the extra energy to other structures that need electricity. I'm sure that the hospital's doctors and patients appreciate this building. I would love to visit this hospital one day.

"The hospital has 1800 solar panels that produce 140 megawatt-hours of electricity on a sunny day."
"I would love to visit this hospital one day."
"I believe that solar powered buildings are the future of architecture. "
