Describe a situation in which you read something that had a particular context that was unfamiliar to you. did you struggle to make sense of it? did you need to get more information to ease your reading experience? one situation might be a book, a story, or an article that you had difficulty understanding because you didn't have some prior knowledge—historical, cultural, or technical. another situation is a time when a text inspired you to gather information on a new topic. as you describe and discuss the significance of context, consider these questions: do certain genres of fiction often present more challenges in terms of unfamiliar context than others, and why? how much responsibility do you think writers should take to make their writing comprehensible to a broad group of readers? how much should readers have to fill in any gaps? are such gaps inevitable when the writer wrote the text many years before the time of reading? if so, why, and in what time periods does this seem to be true?

At first when reading the book The Expanse, I was very unfamiliar with a lot of theoretical space technology and other terms that were normal to many science fiction fans. I did struggle for a while and I had to make researches to understand a few things.

It was a struggle at first, but mostly because I had no prior knowledge to many things that might be considered normal to more educated people or people who are more familiarized with technology in many ways.

The responsibility of the writers is to provide enough for their stories to be understood, I supposed. That being said, many writers will not give all information for any sort of person to understand, but enough for the person reading to understand the things that can't be found anywhere but in the book. And it's most likely just fine.

Readers are supposed to fill the gaps of broad descriptions. Specially of scenarios and characters. Those, though, rarely make any difference.

explanation:

you only need simple sentences to answer this. just answer these questions.

what do you think annie thinks of the mother? do you think annie believes the mother is a fit mother for helen.

what about the father? what would annie think of him? she might not like him, but does she respect him.

how about the son? would annie think he is the only voice of sanity in an insane place?

what about helen herself? this is the key question. how does she see helen? what do you suppose she thought her first job was going to be.

these aren't hard questions. just state the obvious. annie is not that well educated: she just knows what she has to do. write it that way.

you can do it if you've read the book or seen the play or movie.

a, overstatement is the answer
