 The author’s purpose is the reason or
reasons an author has for writing. The
purpose may change during a selection, but
most selections have one main purpose.
 An author may write to persuade you, to
inform you, to entertain you, or to express
ideas or feelings. The kinds of ideas and
the way the author states them help you
see the author’s purpose.

unlike things that are alike in at least one
way.
 The similarity in a metaphor is implied. There
are no comparison words such as like or as.
 While a simile says that one thing is like
something else, a metaphor says that one
thing is something else.
 A symbol is a person, place, or object that has
meaning in itself but suggests other meanings
