Consider the Internet audience Consider the point of view (the perspective from which the material is written). Consider what the writer may be trying to prove. Questions to Ask • Is the source specific and detailed? • To whom do the examples appeal? • Are the ideas complex and sophisticated or obvious and straightforward? • Is the language simple or difficult? • To what interest level, age, sex, occupational, or ethnic groups would this material appeal? • Is the point of view objective (factual) or subjective (showing emotion and feeling)? • Are both sides of an issue shown, or does the writer present or favor only one side? • Is the material written to persuade you to accept a particular viewpoint or take a particular action? Example A review of a rock concert that appeared in Rolling Stone would be quite different in style, content and purpose than an article that appeared in Popular Music & Society. An article about a musical rock group appearing in Teen Vogue may be written to encourage concert attendance or increase its popularity. A rock concert may be described quite differently by a music critic, a teenager, and a classical music fan, each with different attitudes and opinions expressed. A rock concert promoter may write to encourage concert attendance; a music critic may argue that the group has copied the style of another group. DIRECTIONS: Read the following passage and identify the author’s purpose. Shawn Fanning Shawn Fanning grew up in a welfare family. Brothers and sisters were in and out of foster homes. His break came when an uncle brought Shawn to his Cape Cod computer game company and gave him a computer. Fascinated, the teenager found new direction. It didn’t make him rich, though. When it came time for college, Fanning, with only $80, could afford to apply to only two colleges. In freshman year at Northeastern University in Boston, Fanning listened to his roommates’ complaints that they couldn’t find the music they wanted to download from the Internet, Fanning decided to write a program to help. He obsessed about the project. He wrote code day and night until he had a system that would allow people to tap into each other’s hard drives for MP3 downloads. That was in 1998. The rest is history. Fanning dropped out of college, found a venture capitalist, moved to Silicon Valley and went into business. His program, called Napster after his childhood nickname, almost instantly attracted thousands of music fans, who began trading millions of songs online. —Vivian, The Media of Mass Communication, p. 136 What is the author's purpose in the above passage?
