1Death, be not proud, though some have called thee 2Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so; 3For those whom thou think'st thou dost overthrow 4Die not, poor Death, nor yet canst thou kill me. 5From rest and sleep, which but thy pictures be, 6Much pleasure; then from thee much more must flow, 7And soonest our best men with thee do go, 8Rest of their bones, and soul's delivery. 9Thou art slave to fate, chance, kings, and desperate men, 10And dost with poison, war, and sickness dwell, 11And poppy or charms can make us sleep as well 12And better than thy stroke; why swell'st thou then

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.
