Explanation:

For academic writing, business writing and also writing and delivering a speech, what you write and say must be clear. There are certain rules you have to follow. Make sure that you tell the audience what the central idea is. This is done in your thesis statement or speech intro which is the first sentence. It's a very general sentence that introduces the topic of the paragraph, nothing else! In other words adding details and particular key info in this sentence is not ideal because all the details come after.  

The final sentence must directly relate back to the main idea and in this sentence it would also not be ideal to include key details from the story. All key details and plot take place in the body paragraph. There's nothing wrong with making an emotional appeal as an intro and then end with an ethical appeal as a closing sentence.

answer

answer: a: they can affect the author’s perspective and in turn the theme and purpose for the writing.

the author's background and time period greatly affect the text that the author produces. this is because we are all a reflection of our time period and background. depending on where and when we were born, we will find some questions more important than others. for example, if we are a wealthy person born in medieval times, we will most likely be interested in courtly love and stories of knights and honour. however, if we are born in the 20th century in africa, we might instead focus on colonialism and its effects on the newly liberated countries. the theme and the purpose of writing are both affected by these conditions.
