House of Dark Shadows- Authors Pupose

I think that the author, Robert Liparulo had many reasons for writing this novel. I think the first and main reason the author wrote this story is to entertain a young reader and get them to enjoy reading more. I believe this because the author writes the story as if it is a movie and if you do not like reading you would probably prefer to watch a movie. Another reason the author wrote this book is to scare the reader. This book is about a haunted house so obviously the author would want to put some sort of fear in the readers mind. The author also could have wrote this novel so people could relate to it. I think the whole part of the story of Xander and his family moving and how he misses his friends is very relatable and the author may have been in the same situation when he was younger. That is how he could give such a great description of how this felt.

  1. Good thoughts! I think many authors write books based on their personal experiences, so that might have to do with why he wrote the book.

  2. I think a few more reasons could be added in general to why wrighters wright books that most people wouldnt think of, such as tramatising events, an outlet to the outside world, and a way to perswad people AGENST their argument.
