I know context plays a major part in module A B & C of the advanced course, but is it necessary to mention context in imaginary journeys? Btw, I'm doing the poems of Coleridge along with my own texts and the usual booklet stuff.

Is context important for AoS? (1 Viewer)

I know you can mention the context, but my problem with it is that I don't know whether or not the context of the poems would contribute to my essay/speech/whatever in terms of marks. (e.g. would not mentioning context result in me losing 1 or 2 marks?)
The conclusion that I reach with my extended response is that we are enlightened or reached a better understanding of the world around us because of the journey. Furthermore, the wisdom that we gain are universal, (e.g. we should stop and smell the roses as in Lime Tree Bower, or the decisions that we make as in Road not Taken and etc) and therefore I don't see how context is relevant to my argument.

I don't see how context is a metaphor for life but I guess you could argue that the change in context could reflect on the different lessons that you learn through the text, throughout the ages. I just dunno how I would integrate that into my response.
and another thing, I don't see how you would have enough time to go into sufficient details on Coleridge if you choose to do more than 1 poem.

Oh I see... So what would the context of Wind in the Willows be??SureBluff said:no, context means the range of personal, social, historical, cultural and workplace conditions in which a text is responded to and composed.
