Identifying author's purpose and point of view is a great way to aid comprehension. Sure, they don't sound very important or significant, but they actually are!
Author's purpose helps by telling you what kind of information you are going to be reading. For example, fiction is usually written to entertain, so your probably not going to read one if you need to research on an animal.
Point of view helps you by informing you who's telling you the story. First-person could be a biography or fiction, while second-person could be something informational, while third-person would most likely be fiction.
