Author’s Purpose Essay In both Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451 and our world today, the government uses censorship to control the thoughts and actions of the people.

Etymology of Author
An author is the creator of a bookish work, a subject of artistic activity, whose ideas about the world or person are reflected in the entire structure of the plot he or she creates. But in literary circles, another definition is also considered as a character playing the role of an invisible narrator on a par with other personages.
A special place in literary criticism is the problem of the litterateur’s image, which allows discovering various forms of his/her presence in the composition. The subjective author’s beginning is manifested in the title, epigraph, beginning and ending of the main text, in dedications, notes, forewords, and afterword. To this range of issues, one can include the use of pseudonyms with expressive meanings, for example, Maxim Gorky, Igor Severyanin, etc.
The author is the bearer of an ideological concept, inseparably connected with the real person but not identical to him. A plot does not embody the fullness of the personality, demonstrating only some of the traits. Moreover, the images can differ dramatically from each other. So, the brightness, festivity, and romantic impulse to the ideal characterize the author in the works of A. Green. While, according to contemporaries, A. Grinevsky himself was a quite gloomy and sullen man. It is known that not all humorist writers are cheerful people in their lives. You should not confuse the author with the narrator of an epic work or a lyrical hero.
The penman’s image is a special aesthetic category that arises when forming the creator within the composition. Here artistic conditionality, non-identity between literature and life is manifested. I.e. a modern literary criticism distinctly denotes an author biographical as a creative personality, existing in the primary-empirical reality, and the author in the intra-textual incarnation.
Examples in Literature:
In the broad sense, a litterateur acts as the organizer and exponent of emotional and semantic integrity. In the sacred meaning, it is customary to say that the author who created the text objectively loses power over it. He is not free to influence the fate of own product, its real life in the reading world.
It is known for the recognition of numerous writers related to the fact that their literary heroes begin to live, as it were, independently, according to the unwritten laws of their own organics, gaining some kind of internal sovereignty and acting contrary to the original author’s expectations and assumptions. L. Tolstoy recalled in this context about Anna Karenina.
Author’s intonations are clearly distinguishable in deviations, which fit organically into the structure of epic works. In the drama, the penman is more in the shadow of his characters. An expression of the indicated position consists in the fact that the text becomes only a pretext for subsequent active reading receptions, bookish rehashes, masterful translations into the languages of other arts, etc.
One of the features of popular literature is the leveling of the author’s point of view, and often the anonymity of the product. M. Foucault in his thematic article wrote that the purpose of writing is reduced to nothing more than a peculiar absence of the author who must take on the role of a dead man in the game of writing.
