Writing 1. To Inform
(Expository) 2. To
Persuade
(Persuasive)
3. Entertain
(Narrative or Poetry)
Informative or
expository writing
provides factual
information about a
topic.
Persuasive writing
expresses an opinion
(may use facts to
support).
All narratives are
written to entertain,
but so is poetry.
The General
Purposes of
the Author
Stephen King, a well-known American
author, says, “Description begins in the
writer’s imagination, but should finish in
the reader’s.” King explained that a
writer is responsible in translating what
he sees in his mind into words on pages.
If he does this effectively, then the
reader can experience what he (the
writer) has penned in his story. In other
words, his purpose of writing is revealed
to the reader through his narration and
description of the different story
elements unified.

14. Next Steps
Tagal kong hinintay ang araw na ito hindi para tumanggap ng mga medalyang ito.
Gusto kong ibigay ang karangalan sa taong nagdala sa akin dito. Ma, narito ako ngaun
dahil sa walang katulad mong pagmamahal. Yung pagmamahal na kayang tiisin ang
pagod mapagtapos lang ako. Yung pagmamahal na kayang tiisin ang sariling gutom
maibigay lang ang gusto ko. Yung pagmamahal na kayang itago ang lungkot para
maging masaya lang kami. Yung kayang sabihing okay lang ang lahat huwag lang
bumigat ang loob ko. Alam kong hindi naging madali para sa iyo. Ma, mula nang
nawala si papa, ikaw na ang tumayong mama at papa ko. Kinaya mo ang lahat lahat
dahil nangako ka sa akin ng gabing iyon - “Joey, anak kakayanin ko ang lahat para
sayo.” Kaya Ma, alam kong sasabihin mo saking proud ka, pero mas gusto kong sabihin
sa lahat na masproud ako sa mama ko.
