Considering context also requires engaging with the larger conversation around your topic$$among your classmates, the general population, and$/$or experts. No topic or position exists all by itself. What have others said about this information, these ideas, or this debate? Why does your position matter and how does it relate to the position of others? Understanding and responding to context will help you to achieve your purpose and to connect with your audience. The $$context$$ of a text also involves:

The number of sources used in a piece of writing

The length of the text

The opinions of the person who gave the assignment
