  • If it is 2nd person, it is often a DIRECTIVE. 
  • 1st Person can be persuasive, informational or entertainment
Text Structure (how the writing it put together) also influences comprehension. In what you are about to read, SUBHEADINGS, is a text structure used to help the reader find specific information quickly.
