<span>The purpose of the article, “The
Aqua Lung: Bringing Ocean Exploration to
New Depths,” is to inform. It is an
informative article. Like the title
suggests, the aqua lung did bring undersea exploration to new depths (which is
a pun, by the way), by manner of making exploration available to “ordinary
people.” The way you can determine what
the purpose is in an article is by looking at the beginning first couple of
paragraphs as well as the ending paragraph.
The beginning, as you know, will have the thesis (or topic), and this is
where you’ll get the clues with regard to what the point of the writing is. As you may probably also know, the ending (or
conclusion) is where the thesis/topic will be reiterated. As such, you’ll be looking for what is said
twice—at the beginning and at the end. In the beginning, it is noted that the Aqua Lung “made it possible
for more people to explore the ocean’s depths.” And, in the ending it states
that “Cousteau’s greatest legacy as a conservationist may have been giving
ordinary people the tools needed to view the wonders of the ocean firsthand.” </span>
