F) Read the passage and answer the questions:
Thad an amusing experience last year. After I had left a small village in the south of
France, I drove on to the next town. On the way a young man waved to me. I stopped
and he asked me for a lift. After he had got into the car, I said good morning to him in
French and he replied in the same language.
Except a few words, I do not know any French at all. Neither of us spoke during the
journey.
I had nearly reached the town, when the young man suddenly said, very slowly, “Do you
speak English?" As I soon learned, he was English himself!

answer

answer: a: they can affect the author’s perspective and in turn the theme and purpose for the writing.

the author's background and time period greatly affect the text that the author produces. this is because we are all a reflection of our time period and background. depending on where and when we were born, we will find some questions more important than others. for example, if we are a wealthy person born in medieval times, we will most likely be interested in courtly love and stories of knights and honour. however, if we are born in the 20th century in africa, we might instead focus on colonialism and its effects on the newly liberated countries. the theme and the purpose of writing are both affected by these conditions.
