1. Why do writers make particular choices when composing a text?

The creation of a text is not always a straightforward process. Moreover, it is a process that looks different for every individual. Therefore, this process involves making choices in order to include some things in a text, and not others. A writer has to choose the type of words he wants to use, the tone he wants to convey, the characters that he wants to present, etc. The author's main concern is to get an idea across that the audience can understand, while keeping them interested and entertained. In order to do this, it is important that the author tailors his content to a specific type of audience.

2. How does the interaction between a reader and a text create meaning?

When an author finishes a text, he is only aware of what the text appears like to him. However, this is not enough. The text also needs to be understandable and entertaining to a greater audience. When the reader interacts with the text, some aspects of it will resonate with him, while some others will appear to be superfluous or boring. As the reader reads, he interprets the text in a way that is slightly different to that of the author. Through this process, new meanings in the text can be found.

3. What does it mean to be a stranger in a village?

In "Stranger in the Village," James Baldwin describes his experiences in a Swiss village. He tells us that, when he arrived to the village, he was regarded with interest. People had never seen a person of colour before, and they were intrigued. Even as he spent more time in the village, and even after he came back a second time, people still saw him with interest, suspicion, confusion or curiosity. He was never allowed to exist as just another person in the village. Baldwin refers to himself as a "stranger in a village" because the interactions he had with people always kept him as an outsider, and not as just another member of the community.

Read the two passages and answer the question. Passage 1: "Midas" retold by Thomas Bulfinch [1] Bacchus, on a certain occasion, found his old schoolmaster and foster-father, Silenus, missing. The old man had been drinking, and in that state wandered away, and was found by some peasants, who carried him to their king, Midas. Midas recognized him, and treated him hospitably, entertaining him for ten days and nights with an unceasing round of jollity. [2] On the eleventh day he brought Silenus back, and restored him in safety to his pupil. Whereupon Bacchus offered Midas his choice of a reward, whatever he might wish. He asked that whatever he might touch should be changed into gold. Bacchus consented, though sorry that he had not made a better choice. [3] Midas went his way, rejoicing in his new-acquired power, which he hastened to put to the test. He could scarce believe his eyes when he found a twig of an oak, which he plucked from the branch, become gold in his hand. He took up a stone; it changed to gold. He touched a sod; it did the same. He took up an apple from the tree; you would have thought he had robbed the garden of the Hesperides. His joy knew no bounds, and as soon as he got home, he ordered the servants to set a splendid repast on the table. Then he found to his dismay that whether he touched bread, it hardened in his hand; or put a morsel to his lip, it defied his teeth. He took a glass of wine, but it flowed down his throat like melted gold. [4] In consternation at the unprecedented affliction, he strove to divest himself of his power; he hated the gift he had lately coveted. But all in vain; starvation seemed to await him. He raised his arms, all shining with gold, in prayer to Bacchus, begging to be delivered from his glittering destruction. Bacchus, merciful deity, heard and consented. "Go," said he, "to River Pactolus, trace its fountain-head, there plunge yourself and body in, and wash away your fault and its punishment." He did so, and scarce had he touched the waters before the gold-creating power passed into them, and the river sands became changed into gold, as they remain to this day. Passage 2: "Bacchus's Regret" by Hunter Doyle [1] King Midas returned my beloved teacher to me, so I rewarded him with a wish—whatever he wanted would be. Midas cried, "Give my fingers a golden touch! Then, I shall have a gilded kingdom and such." [5] I tried to make him see the err of his choice, but he would not heed the caution in my voice. I pleaded with Midas, "Be careful what you choose, for you're only thinking of what you'll gain—not what you'll lose." [9] His thirst for wealth became no match for his appetite; after all, a gold apple is not something one can bite. His daughter wept for her poor starving dad, so he wiped her tears and told her not to be sad. [13] Into a golden statue Midas's daughter became, and he and his greedy wish were ultimately to blame. Yet, maybe if I had put up more of a fight and a fret, then I wouldn't have to live with all this regret. How does the poem show the theme greed can have negative consequences differently than the myth? By allowing Bacchus to refuse Midas's wish By changing what Midas wishes for By resolving Midas's conflict sooner By showing what happens to Midas's daughter
