Saki's Purpose

The way the author describes the characters is very important. Different purposes are the criticizing or praising of characters, informative or just writing for fun, what the writer want's to tell you, or if it's persuasive. Sometimes a writer can be criticizing of something in the story but praises another. This means that a story does not have to be purely for criticizing something or it does not have to be written just for approving of something. However, a writer doesn't even have to make judgement or give opinion in a story, the story might just be informative and the writer has a neutral point of view toward it. As long as it is not a biography or autobiography or nonfiction, the writer can freely bend the settings, characters because he is making it all up without any standards. This way the writer can make his point clearer and make the reader fully understand why he wrote about it, why he chose the setting, why he describe certain characters certain way and others using a different way. Saki does not like the aunt, she pointed out how aunt's story is boring, uninteresting. By pointing this out, Saki successfully tackled the point she is trying to make and her purpose is to criticize the aunt. When Saki point out that the kids always asked why, I think she is trying to tell the reader that kids are curious and they would ask why to anything against their will.
