QUESTION 1
1.1 Being sensitive to the cultural context of a text is vital in understanding its themes
and characters properly. Each text is often embedded with cultural values and practices
that might be unfamiliar to some readers. If readers are aware of the cultural
background, they can interpret actions, relationships, and symbols more accurately.
Without this awareness, there is a risk of projecting one's own cultural assumptions onto
the text, leading to misunderstandings. For example, certain behaviors or expressions
may seem odd or inappropriate when taken out of context but are normal within the
culture described. Appreciating the cultural setting, readers can engage with the
material more deeply, respecting its nuances and avoiding misinterpretations that may
distort the author's intended meaning.
1.2 Fan fiction provides an important space for the exploration of themes and characters
that might not have been fully developed or represented in the original work. It allows
readers to take ownership of stories, expanding narratives to include perspectives that
may have been overlooked, especially those of marginalized groups. For instance, fan
fiction can introduce diverse voices, such as characters of different ethnic backgrounds,
gender identities, or abilities, which were absent or underrepresented in the original
material. This extension of narratives holds cultural significance because it gives people
a platform to address societal gaps in representation, offering more inclusive and
relatable content that resonates with wider audiences. Fan fiction is an evolving
dialogue that engages with literature while contributing to cultural conversations about
diversity and inclusion.
