Read the questions below carefully and write all your responses in

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?

people add, extend or create new storylines to existing narratives’
(Leland et al., 2013: 54).
Consider the above quote from Leland et al. and discuss how fan
fiction allows for the exploration of themes, characters, or
perspectives that may be underrepresented or marginalised in the
original works? What cultural significance does this hold?
