AUTHOR’S PURPOSE
EXERCISES:Read each paragraph. Then select the answer that best describes the
author’s purpose in writing.
The word is terracide. It is not committed with guns and knives, but with relentless
bulldozers, roaring dump trucks, and giant shovels like mythological beasts. Dynamite cuts
and rips apart mountains to reach the minerals inside, leaving nothing but empty, naked
hills. The land is left wasted and allowed to slide down upon houses and into streams,
making the land unlivable and the stream water undrinkable. This is terracide, or if you
prefer, strip mining.
1. The author’s purpose is to
a. inform you about the purposes of strip mining.
b. describe a strip mining operation.
c. persuade you that strip mining is bad for the environment.
d. define terracide.
The human sex chromosomes are of the XX-XY pattern. The Y chromosome is
much smaller than the X chromosome. Two types of sperm cells are formed during
gametogenesis; half of these have the X chromosome and the others have the Y
chromosome. Every egg cell has an X chromosome; therefore, fertilization determines the
sex. If a Y sperm cell fertilizes the egg, a male develops.
2. The author’s purpose is to
a. explain how the sex of humans is determined.
b. describe chromosomes.
c. tell the steps in fertilization.
d. contrast X and Y chromosomes
To make a delicious New England pit, proceed as follows: take some water and
flour; then construct a bullet-proof dough. Make this into a disk-shaped object. Dry it for a
couple of days in a mild temperature. Pour on stewed dried apples and slabs of citron; leave
it in a safe place until it petrifies. Serve cold at breakfast and invite your mother-in-law.
3. The author’s purpose is to
a. tell the steps in making a pie.
b. make fun of (satirize) New England cooking.
c. persuade the reader to buy New England pie.
d. describe New England pie.
I will try to give the reader of this article some idea of the real nature of Gothic
architecture, not just of Venice, but of universal Gothic. One of the most interesting parts of
our study will be to find out how far Venetian architecture went in achieving the perfect
type of Gothic, and how far it fell short of it.
4. The author’s purpose is to
a. explain the importance of Gothic architecture.
b. describe Venetian architecture.
c. show how Venetian architecture is different from Gothic architecture.
d. show the nature of Gothic architecture.
On September 23, a large cavalry troop from Fort Robinson arrived at the camp of
Sitting Bull. Just as he was about to give a welcoming speech, a commotion broke out
among the watching warriors. Rifles were fired, and the meeting ended in a massacre of the
soldiers.
5. The author’s purpose is to
a. describe Sitting Bull’s camp.
b. persuade the reader that the Indians were bloodthirsty.
c. tell the events leading to a massacre.
d. explain the problems of the Calvary.
Tofu is a product that is becoming very popular as a low-calorie, cholesterol-free
meat substitute. Formerly it was found exclusively in Oriental markets and health food
stores, but today tofu can be purchased in most supermarket produce departments. This
white, cheese like substance is made from the condensed milk of soybeans. It is extremely
high in protein and low in sodium. Tofu is almost tasteless by itself, but it can be easily
mixed into sauces and soups; it can even be made to imitate scrambled eggs.
6. The author’s primary purpose is to
a. evaluate Oriental cooking.
b. persuade you to eat low-cholesterol foods.
c. describe tofu.
d. to compare tofu with meat.

The Prince
By Josephine Dodge Daskam
My heart it was a cup of gold
That at his lip did long to lie, But he hath drunk the red wine down, And tossed the goblet1 by. My heart it was a floating bird That through the world did wander free, But he hath locked it in a cage, And lost the silver key. |
My heart it was a white, white rose
That bloomed upon a broken bough2, He did but wear it for an hour, And it is withered now.

The Dilettante1: a Modern Type
By Paul Lawrence Dunbar
He scribbles some in prose2 and verse,
And now and then he prints it; He paints a little,--gathers some Of Nature's gold and mints it. He plays a little, sings a song, Acts tragic roles, or funny; He does, because his love is strong, But not, oh, not for money! |
He studies almost everything
From social art to science; A thirsty mind, a flowing spring, Demand and swift compliance3. He looms above the sordid crowd-- At least through friendly lenses; While his mamma looks pleased and proud, And kindly pays expenses.
1. dilettante: an amateur, someone who dabbles in a field casually
2. prose: written language, not poetry
3. verse: poetry, usually with a fixed rhythm or meter
4. compliance: yielding or agreeing to or with another to conform

To a Child Dancing Upon the Shore
By William Butler Yeats
Dance there upon the shore;
What need have you to care
For wind or water's roar?
And tumble out your hair
That the salt drops have wet;
Being young you have not known
The fool's triumph, nor yet
Love lost as soon as won.
And he, the best warrior, dead
And all the sheaves to bind!
What need that you should dread
The monstrous crying of wind?
