1. Firstly, the P stands for persuade.
Authors can persuade you to change your opinion. For example, an author of a book can convince you to like dinosaurs.
2. Secondly, the I stands for information.
Authors can tell you about information like facts about giant squids.
3. Thirdly, the E stands for entertain.
