 When writing about literature, the text is the primary source of evidence. To present a
convincing and persuasive analysis, the essay writer must demonstrate a thorough knowledge of
the text by presenting carefully chosen, pertinent quotations which support each point the essay
writer makes. A text is neither written nor read in a vacuum; its meaning and interpretation are
affected by a given set of circumstances. Thus, it must include the understanding that texts are
always developed with a certain context.
WHAT I NEED TO KNOW

1. compare intertext and hypertext as contexts in text development;

WHAT’S IN (Recapitulation)

In the previous lesson you have learned that:

Context is the inspiration behind your written output. It also reflects the reading
experiences you have as a reader and as a writer of your would-be-written output.

Text development have several ways like descriptive, narrative, expository, and
argumentative.
WHAT IS IT (Discussion)
Today, let’s learn two more contexts in developing your write-up. These are the hypertext and
the intertext.

HYPERTEXT
-can be read from the written output from technological advancements tablet, desktop computer,
laptop and smartphones
-is manifested by the texts that have hyperlinks (normally underlined and in blue color)
- hypertext is unique because of the speed at which you can shift to different texts; all you have
to do is to click the hyperlink and the other page will load
-allows readers to shift to different web pages almost instantly
-provides a greater chance of getting a better picture of the entire scenario in a fast manner
- helps the reader get a better understanding of the whole story.

INTERTEXT
-draws origin from literature and asserts that texts can only be understood in relation to other
texts
-has applications for academic and technical reading (academic is for school; technical is for
work)
-has benefits: further reading can widen the reader’s knowledge
-can view different texts and different perspectives
- allows readers to be more certain of what is already known

In summary: (Don’t forget these very important lessons!)

 A text’s meaning can be determined based partly on the context in which it was
developed.
 Hypertext is a reading environment that is based on the internet.
 Hypertext allows people to shift to different texts as fast as the internet loading speeds
allow.
 Intertextuality helps people understand better by referring to multiple texts to compare
meaning.

CRUISING DOWN LOBOC RIVER, BOHOL PHILIPPINES

April 29,2019

Thinking about joining in on a Loboc River cruise on your next Bohol trip? Read this quick
guide on what to expect, as well as some useful tips on how to get the best experience.

For many, a Loboc River cruise is a highlight for their Loboc adventures. Personally, this
was one of my favorite activities on Bohol Island due to the amazing natural beauty of the Loboc
river and surroundings.

WHERE IS LOBOC RIVER?

Loboc River is a jungle that snakes itself all the way from Carmen near the Chocolate Hills,
to the beaches of Southernn Bohol. For those looking to jump on a Loboc River cruise, you can
head to the small town of Tay Tay.

Due to the growing popularity, there is an increasing amount of resorts and tourist-oriented
restaurants and activities in this once small quiet river town. There are a few different boats that
operate cruises down the river and also SUP’s for rent.

To get to Tay Tay, it will take approximately one hour and 20 minutes by tricycle. Expect
around an hour depending on Tagbilaran traffic if you’re looking to ride here yourself.

Alternatively, many tourists visiting Bohol choose to just book a Land Tour which includes
a full-day guided tour and transport to all of the Bohol highlights including:

 Loboc River Cruise

 The Chocolate Hills
 Man-Made Forest
 Baclayon Church

Although the online price is very reasonable, it might be possible to negotiate a cheaper
price on the street, just make sure to check what is included in advance. In my opinion, this tour
is definitely worth the money, especially if you plan to check out most of the other highlights
anyway.

Alternatively, if you are in Cebu and planning your Bohol trip, check out this private trip to
Bohol from Cebu which includes a trip down Loboc River.
