Main idea vs author's purpose
Most texts have a main idea. It is important to understand, however, that the main idea of a text is not the same as the author's purpose for writing the text. The author's purpose is the reason why a text was written. Authors have different reasons for writing: they want to inform, instruct, persuade or entertain their readers.
