Before we proceed to our new lesson, let us first
review our last topic. Please, tell us what was our

Correct!
Please, state what a narrative text is, Maxine. The narrative text includes any type of writing that
relates a series of events and includes both fiction like
short stories, and poems, and nonfiction like memoirs,
and biographies. It also uses imaginative language and
expresses emotion, often with imagery, metaphors, and
symbols.

Our topic for today is the tone, mood, technique,
and purpose of the author in a literary text, but
before we define that, let us first understand one of
the most influential kinds of literature that have ever
been created, and that’s a poem written by Maya
Angelou entitled "Life Doesn’t Frighten Me."

Are you all familiar with this poem?
Thank you!
For the second paragraph, please, read, Ramon. Maya was sexually abused by her mother’s boyfriend
when she was 8 years old. She was traumatized that
she didn’t talk for five years, because of the pain she
had in her life. However, in the 1960s Maya became
the Northern Christian Leadership Conference. And
she won several awards in her life.
Thank you!
