How are these two versions of the myth similar?How are they different?

The purpose of a text shapes its content.
purpose = ‘why’ the text was created.

The target audience for a text will also shape its content.
audience = ‘who’ the text was created for.

Audience
Describe what you think the intended audience is for Horowitz’ story version and the animated version.
Are they the same?
How do you know?

Once the purpose and target audience have been identified, the writer can create a text with features which will make it more likely to be successful.
Text features = ‘what’ the text is like (its type and content).
