This is a mind bender thought... I think author's purpose can be be accessed a lot in "before reading behaviors" if the reader uses genre conventions and story elements. Purpose and audience are the guidelines that the writer attends to while trying to get his big message (theme) out there. I think no matter what genre a writer decides to choose... he can entertain, inform, or persuade... the story content just follows a genre pattern. So in some respects I agree with you... theme is the big message.... but the purpose and audience in my mind shapes the genre. Pam --- On Sun, 11/8/09, cnjpal...@aol.com <cnjpal...@aol.com> wrote:
