In the text, the author keeps it interesting and engaging whilst telling you a silly story. Her overall goal in writing this was to inform you; the story of Zachary, what schools are doing now for lunches, and what they <em>should</em> do. There is a hint of persuasion in the text as well, in which she goes over the changes schools should make in their cafeterias. An example from the text shows this persuasion, "Ideally, a healthy school lunch should also taste good ... or at least as good as the description on the menu." She does an excellent job in doing this as well, painting a vivid picture for the audience as well as keeping you engaged.
