SECTION A
QUESTION 1
1.1. According to Leland et al. (2013), we need to understand that texts often
embrace cultural ideas and, therefore, we should be sensitive to the ideas
associated with specific cultures when reading. How can being sensitive to the
cultural context of a text help readers avoid misunderstandings or
misinterpretations of its themes and characters?
When we read a text, understanding its cultural context helps us better
understand the story’s themes and characters. According to Leland et al. (2013),
many texts reflect the beliefs, traditions, and values of the culture they come
from. If we don’t know about these cultural ideas, we might misunderstand or
misinterpret what the writer is trying to say.
For example, certain actions or words in the story might have special meanings in
one culture but seem strange or confusing in another. By being aware of the
cultural background, we can better appreciate why characters behave in certain
ways and why the story is important. This helps us avoid jumping to wrong
conclusions about the characters or the message.
When we are sensitive to cultural differences, we can see the themes and
characters more clearly and fairly. It also helps us respect the diversity of cultures
and understand the writer’s perspective better (Leland et al., 2013). This
sensitivity improves our overall reading experience and allows us to learn more
from the story.
