SECTION A
Read the questions below carefully and write all your responses in paragraph
form.
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?
(5 marks)
Being sensitive to the cultural context of a text can help readers avoid
misunderstandings or misinterpretations of its themes and characters by
providing a deeper understanding of the cultural nuances and references
embedded in the text. Understanding the cultural context allows readers to
grasp the underlying meanings, symbols, and references that may not be
immediately apparent from a surface-level reading. This awareness helps
readers appreciate the text in a more holistic and accurate manner, reducing
the likelihood of misinterpreting the author's intentions or misrepresenting the
cultural elements portrayed in the text.
1.2. ‘Fan fiction is a genre of writing usually on the internet where 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?
(5 marks)
Fan fiction allows for the exploration of themes, characters, or perspectives
that may be underrepresented or marginalized in the original works by
providing a platform for fans to reimagine and expand upon existing
narratives. This can include the exploration of diverse cultural perspectives,
identities, and experiences that may not have been fully developed or
represented in the original works. By engaging with fan fiction, individuals can

contribute to the amplification and validation of underrepresented voices and
cultural perspectives, thereby enriching the cultural significance of the
original narratives. This process fosters a more inclusive and diverse literary
landscape, allowing for the celebration and exploration of a wide range of
cultural experiences and identities within the realm of storytelling.
