Author's Purpose + Persuasive Letter

Hello 304!  Wow, our week has flown by!  
In this post, please write me a letter about a book you have read this week.  

1. In the letter, you should include the author's purpose and tell why you think it was to either entertain, inform, or to persuade.  

2. You should also try to persuade me into reading that book.  Please have at least two reasons why I should read your book.  

Happy commenting!

I'm reading Big Nate in a class by himself. And I think the author's purpose is to entertain you.One reason is it's funny.And the other reason is it's not trying to teach you something.

Dear Mr. D.,
I am reading Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Third Wheel. The author's purpose is to entertain because it's funny. You should read this book because Greg is trying to make it feel like in the bath, he is still in his mom's tummy. Another reason is his uncle is staying in his room and he can't sleep.

Sincerely,

Dear Mr.DeGraff,

I am reading the book Harry Potter And The Sorcerer's Stone.I think you should read it because it's really weird what Harry can do without even trying to do it and it gets really mysterious once your done with the first chapter.

Trever
P.S.I think the author is trying to entertain you.
