I. Introduction
Literature has been used as part of communication before and up until now.
This tells us stories; may they be historical stories, or love stories that most of the
time give us lessons or guidance on how we will deal with the future and even in our
daily lives. This also gives us opportunities to get-to-know some people’s
perspectives in life which can be helpful to us especially when it comes to decision
making. This also allows us to be imaginative and it also improves our
comprehension ability which is very essential to you as a 21st century learner.
In this module, you will determine the literary, biographical, linguistic, and
sociocultural contexts of the literary texts. Therefore, you will learn to love and
appreciate more the importance of Literature. You will be practiced to comprehend
and analyse well whatever the literary pieces are all about. And, you will be
motivated to study deeper and deeper the literary texts that you are reading as for
they may have different meanings from how they are presented through the texts.
This module contains different activities that will help you achieve the
following learning objectives:
✓ identify the used literary, biographical (time or place where the literary text
was written, author’s biography, connections between the characters and the
author if there are), linguistic (symbolism, choice of words, figurative
language, mood and tone, and overall structure of the text), and sociocultural
contexts( issues among gender, race or class if there are, literary approaches
or theories used) from the given literary texts;
✓ explain how the literary texts became effective to you as a reader while citing
the different literary contexts (biographical, linguistic, and sociocultural
context) used by the author for each given literary text; and

contexts from the literary piece that you will study in the future.

Biographical Context
How do we determine the Biographical Context in a literary text? What are the
biographical contexts?
Note: You should not assume that all works are confessional, biographical, or even
“true to life.”
A literary text is according to the author’s perspective and will be heavily influenced by
him or her, but it is not the only way of studying literature.
“Under My Invisible Umbrella” by Laurel Fantauzzo is a literary essay that talks about a
Filipino-Italian who was born in the United States. Because her features are more Italian
than Filipina, she had encountered problems with people treating her as “extra special” in
the Philippines, but she finds it more isolating than welcoming.
Fantauzzo’s way of writing reflects a lot about her personal encounters within the
Philippines. To understand her essays better, the reader must know her background first
so that they may know the reasons behind her dilemmas.
Catch a Falling Star by Cristina Pantoja Hidalgo is a collection of realistic short stories
that revolve around a child character named Trissy or Patriciang Payatot. In the
narratives, you would find out that Trissy is not much involved in outdoor games; she
was more inclined to writing, paper doll making, and other simple crafts.
If one tries to research about the author, she may be classified as a female Filipino writer
who belongs to the intellectual elite; that’s why her writings are influenced by upper-
middle class situations.
