Kara+-+Timed+BCR+3+-+Authors+Purpose

I believe that the author’s purpose of the text is to inform. This article is filled with facts and there is no fiction in it at all. The author talks about Diana Golden and how she won gold in the Disabled Olympics and also races against non-disabled people. The author also talks about Diana’s efforts to allow disabled skiers to be allowed to race first with the non-disabled skiers. All of these are facts the author is using to inform the reader about Diana Golden and her work for disabled athletes and her ski career. So, I believe this article was written to inform the reader.

 * Score: ** 3


 * Reflection: ** To get a better grade I could have explained why I chose my answer. All I did was answer and then cite my answer, but I did not explain. I could have told why I believed the author’s purpose was to inform the reader and I could have talked more about what made Diane good at what she did.
