World Literature HELP PLEASE!


Recommended Posts

[quote name='heronumbazero' post='39136' date='Mar 6 2009, 08:13 AM']HELP PLEASE!

My world lit paper is on the creation of the christ figure in the stranger (camus) and the metamorphosis (kafka).
My teacher keeps telling me writers craft and author's purpose.
I understand writers craft.
BUT WHAT IS AUTHOR'S PURPOSE?!?

Please help![/quote]

Author's purpose is basically...what the author is aiming with the text. What's the message they're trying to get across? What is the point of them doing what they're doing? What's their intention? What kind of response from the reader does the author want?
Hope that helps!
