- Personal narratives always have the self at the center, regardless of the subject.
- Real-World Example: Today, people often share personal stories on social media to express themselves and connect with others.
Unraveling purpose & complexity
- Analyzing purpose helps us understand why a text was created and how it impacts us.
- Purpose can be straightforward, like an advertisement persuading us to buy, but it can also be more intricate.
- Literary works can serve multiple purposes, like entertaining, teaching lessons, or offering aesthetic experiences.
- Real-World Example: Movie trailers are advertisements with the purpose of attracting audiences to watch a film.
