Example of writing on the purpose of a text:

In the article Saturday Night At The Movies the author addresses the idea that positives can be found even in dire situations, Kim Newth is highlighting the positive outcomes of the Christchurch Earthquakes, showing that from the awful situation there has been a new found community created around this theatre. Newth tells the reader that "This rural community loves every minute of it", explaining that although they are not necessarily the most modernistic society with the greatest theatre, rural relating to the countryside rather than a town or city, there is much more to this theatre experience than sitting down and watching the latest box office hit. "Saturday night in front of the tell just can't compete with the lure of popcorn and ice creams, good company and the magic of the big screen." says Newth, showing that one of the most important aspects of this experience is the people and community it has built along with it, the good company. She reiterates this again earlier in the text with the specific examples of David Belton and Richard Sutherland, who went to the same movie theatre as young boys in the 60's, bringing back huge nostalgia for them as their fathers were also part of the theatre community that ran at Waikari. So not only has this theatre created a new found community, it has reinstated an old one, bringing with it history and a sort of legacy back with it. It seems that this Waikari theatre that has been reequipped, reinstalled and reinvented with a touch of history kept in the foreground, has truly created a positive out of the devastating situation of the Christchurch earthquakes.
