For my TOW number eight, I read a
piece about Hurricane Patricia. It tells readers about the Hurricane. While
reading, I learned about the low air pressures and the high wind speeds. This
article was published on weather.com, a website dedicated to forecasting the
weather and sharing weather related news. The website is dedicated to giving
the most accurate information it can give.
This article was published to inform
people about this weather crisis occurring in Mexico. The intended audience is,
therefore, everyone else in the world. The text was written shortly after the
hurricane dissipated, so everyone could be aware of the weather that occurred.
This article relied heavily on the
use of didactic. Its purpose was to teach readers about Hurricane Patricia. It did
not do anything more than that. The article was purely informative.
The author’s purpose was to inform
readers about this hurricane. I think they could have gone above and beyond by
informing readers of how they could join in the effort to help the people who
were affected by this storm. Even though this article was a bit minimal, I
think that the author did achieve their purpose of teaching readers about how
severe Hurricane Patricia was.
