Directions: Read the descriptions of each item and determine the author’s purpose (to entertain, persuade, or inform). Then, in a sentence or two, explain your answer.
A book of over 1,000 knock-knock jokes
The authors purpose would be to entertain. Knock knock jokes are a source of entertainment, so over 1,000 of them will definitely do the job. The author is not by any means trying to persuade or inform anyone because there is so opinion to persuade and no fact to inform.
