To understand an author's purpose for writing, a reader must consider (you can choose more than one option if you think they apply):
1. The name of the text. The title of their work usually give us an idea of what is the author focusing on. The choice of words is a very important decision.
2. The author's use of language. With this, the reader can understand which is the author's believe about the subject and what he or she is trying to tell us.
3. The author's approach to discussing the topic. He or she will probably focus in some determined aspect of the topic, and this will tell much about his or her purpose for writing the piece.
i just took this. the answer is C
<span>A motif is a symbolic element that appears repeatedly in a particular story. It's sort of like a theme, but it's a symbol instead of a message. Like in Harry Potter, for example, his lack of true parents is a motif for him feeling lonely, which is a message that occurs throughout the books even though he is famous.
So the answer is C. Motif.
