3. Evaluate (which means reflect and give your opinion) the author’s purpose for writing this poem - in your answers include the words: inform, entertain, persuade.

By analysing the poem I have read this week I think the author wrote this poem because it’s about people always being depressed so they need to sit back and relax by listening to music.    

• The author was informing the audience about Relaxing to the music.
• The author was entertaining the audience by their Language and how they used it.
• The author is trying to persuade the audience to think Music can calm you down
