1. Author’s Purpose: "If you truly care about protecting our planet, then join us in our campaign to reduce plastic usage and advocate for a sustainable future." 2. Point of View: "As the winds howled and rain battered the windows, she huddled in the corner of the room, clutching a blanket tightly while glancing anxiously at the darkened sky." 3. The author’s purpose can significantly influence the tone of a text by shaping how the reader feels about the subject matter. For example, in a story like "The Lorax" by Dr. Seuss, the purpose is to advocate for environmental protection, which creates a tone that is both cautionary and passionate. The use of vibrant, engaging language and characters conveys urgency, making the reader feel the weight of the issue and inspiring them to take action.
