assumptions, gender, race, race, sexual orientation, and the political
and economic issues related to the author.
 Reader's context is about the reader's previous reading
experience, values, assumptions, political and economic issues.
 The text's context is about its publishing history. It is part of the
larger text such as newspaper, history, events, translated in it.
 Social context and socio-cultural of a text feature the society in
which the characters live and in which the author's text was
produced.
