    Writers use CONTEXT,
    so readers are able to
    understand and their
    stories written.

    What is Context?
    CONTEXT
     It is a background, environment, setting,
    framework, or surroundings of events or
    occurences.
     Context means circumstances forming a
    background of an event, idea or statement,
    in such a way as to enable readers to
    understand the narrative of a literary piece.
     It is necessary in writing to provide
    information, new concepts, and words to
    develop thoughts.
    Literary Context
     It relates to the particular form of a
    passage takes and to the words,
    sentences, and paragraphs that surround
    the passage you are studying.
     Literary Context consists of understanding
    the literary genre that the book of the
    Bible exists in.
    How does genre change how
    we interpret the Bible?
     When we read the Bible, we need to
    always start by reading it literally. The
    author meant what he meant when he
    wrote what he wrote.
     When you read a passage, make sure
    that you understand whether the passage
    is intended to be read literally or
    figuratively.
    Biographical Context
     Another term for this is Authorial Context.
     The authors write from their own
    experiences with a sort of imagination,
    and their lives always influence their work.
     But it doesn’t mean that the author
    identifies with the main character or even
    a narrator in a novel. Somehow the
    author is just reporting what he or she
    witnessed.
    Linguistic Context
     It refers to culturally specific words from
    languages that are not necessarily spoken
    fluently.
     It refers to how meaning is understood
    without relying on intent and assumptions.
     Meaning of the story is formed through
    sensory experiences, even though sensory
    stimulus cannot be easily articulated in
    language or signs.
    Sociocultural Context
     It refers to the immediate physical and
    social setting in which people live or in
    which something happens or develops.
     It includes the culture that the individual
    was educated or lives in, and the people
    and institutions with whom they interact
    Ex.
    Looking at Slang and Idiomatic Language
    Write to be understood,
    speak to be heard, read
    to grow.
