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.

n “The Beginnings of the Maasai,” the daughter of the Maasai explains the relationship between the Maasai and their sky god Enkai.

Passage 1
"Big data" is becoming a buzz word of the 21st century. Technically, big data refers to a data set that is too large to analyze. Colloquially, big data refers to the ever-increasing amount of personal information that is collected by computers. Computers monitor and record our online habits, what we buy at the grocery store, our medical and educational records, and even our location. This glut of information has many screaming about privacy concerns. However, sensible protections can be put into place that will unlock the power of big data and positively transform our economy, science, and society.

Passage 2
The casual acceptance of the collection of personal data is one of the most troubling trends of the information age. Proponents of big data argue that the benefits outweigh the potential risks, and that proper regulation of the use of data can adequately control the dangers. However, it is very unlikely that we will be able to identify the right ways to regulate the use of data and to persuade the global community to agree on these regulations. Even if we could, what group or agency has the power to monitor the entirety of the Internet? It is far wiser to take immediate steps to limit the collection of personal data now.
