There are an unlimited number of examples you could use in
responding to this statement. It would have been helpful to know what type of literature
you are dealing with, but the basic connection and relationship holds
throughout.


When Mark Twain planned to write The Adventures
of Huckleberry Finn, he was very familiar with the society of the area along the
southern Mississippi River. He thoroughly understood the relationships between whites
and blacks and between different classes of whites, and his writing draws on that
knowledge to add to the richness of the story.


When an
author prepares to write a factual biography of an historic figure, research and
preparation for the writing will necessarily include analysis of the society and culture
in which the subject lived and how those impacted the subject's life and
activities.


There are as many other examples as there are
written works.
