What is context

Context is one of the things that we should always be aware of while reading a text, why? well its important because in that way we can understand the main idea tried to be given by the author, so we could say that there's two contexts the one that the author had when he/she wrote the book, and the one we have while reading it, each one, respectively is the context of production and the context of reception.

Context of production: This context makes references to the circumstances that surrounded the writer of the text when he wrote it. 

Context of Reception: This type of contexts refers to the conditions that surround the reader when he reads a text. 


The context varies in time and it can go to extreme cases.
