Writing - What's Your Purpose? (Part 3)

There were two blog topics in June that dealt with having a purpose for your writing (June 14th and 19th, in case you want to go back and take a look at them!). When reading something, it's important to take note of the author's purpose because the goal may be to get you to think a certain way or even to buy a certain product!

Many times, you may write (or read) a persuasive paragraph (or essay). How is it that you can convince someone that what you're communicating is what they should believe? Well, that's a hard question to answer and depends on exactly what route you're going to use! If you were trying to get people to buy a car, you might talk about how good the gas mileage is or how low the payments will be. If you were trying to get people to donate money to a charity, you may "pull on their heart-strings" with statements about how the money will help children or animals.

I'd like you to practice your persuasive abilities! Write a 3-4 sentence and tell me why people should go to the new restaurant down the street. It's called "Kim's Kitchen." Imagine that your information will go into advertising that's printed in a local magazine to promote this new restaurant. What will you tell people that will make them try Kim's Kitchen?

There is a new restaurant in town. Kim's Kitchen serves a variety of traditional Southern favorites such as fried chicken and biscuits. If you are more adventurous, the turnip greens and fried green tomatoes are delicious. No trip to Kim's Restaurant is complete without a piece of homemade pie or cobbler. The whipped cream is made when ordered. Even the ice cream on the cobbler is made fresh daily. There are no preservatives in the food at Kim's. It is down home cooking at down home prices.
