Answer:

The author's purpose for "The Challenge" is to "entertain" readers.

Explanation:

When writing a story, the author sets his/her purpose of either<em> entertaining, persuading or informing readers. </em>"The Challenge" is an example of a story that entertains because it tries to capture the<u> attention of the readers</u> in the character of Jose. Jose wanted to get<em> Estela's attention</em>, thus, he challenged her to a racket ball game.

Unknowingly, Estela beat Jose in the game. <em>This keeps the readers wanting to know more on what's going to happen next. </em>If the reader is a boy, he may pretend to be Jose while if the reader is a girl, she may pretend to be Estela. Since such events are <em>possible to happen in the life of the readers</em>, it can then be classified as entertaining.

So, this explains the answer.

padilas [110]

In this excerpt from Act III, Scene I of Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet", the two central ideas are Romeo blames falling in love with Juliet as the cause of Mercutio’s death and Romeo blames his own cowardice and refusal to fight as the cause of Mercutio's death. Tybalt calls Romeo a villain. Romeo refuses to fight him because he has just married Juliet in secret. In his place, Mercutio draws his sword and fights Tybalt. Mercutio is stabbed by Tybalt when Romeo places himself between them to stop the fight. Mercutio is badly wounded and dies. Romeo blames himself for he has become "effeminate" because of his love for Juliet, and as a consequence of his cowardice, Mercutio died.
