Author's Purpose

The author's purpose is the reason why the author wrote a text.

The purpose of the text shapes how the content is written, its tone, and its structure.

Target Audience

Understanding different audience types helps readers evaluate the effectiveness of a text in meeting its purpose.
There are different types of audiences.
Hypothetical: The audience the author envisions while creating the text (e.g., imagining an audience of superheroes).
Real: The audience that actually engages with the text (e.g., classmates reading an essay).
Experts: Texts require detailed and technical explanations. This is often for specialized audiences (e.g. researchers).
Lay People: The target audience needs simple and clear language for general readers.
Managerial: Texts are for leaders and decision-makers seeking strategic insights.
Rank-and-File: Content for everyday individuals needing step-by-step instructions.

Analyzing Real-World Issues

Texts often reflect societal concerns, providing insight into cultural, political, or environmental issues.
Understanding real-world issues helps to contextualize arguments.
Examples include how El Filibusterismo discusses important concerns in its topic of the movement's concerns, such as clerical abuses, racism against people, and the necessity for political changes and independence.

Tips for Analyzing Real-World Issues

Remain objective recognizing text biases and your own.
Research the issue to better understand the author's perspective.
Critically examine the presentation of issues:
- Is the issue presented fairly and completely?
- Are the suggested solutions practical and based on evidence?

Methods for Using Textual Evidence

Summarizing: Condensing the main idea of a text into a concise statement.
