Answer to Question 1

A subtext refers to those implicit meanings behind the language of a film or
play script. Any script meant to be spoken has a subtext, even one of great literary
distinction. Film examples included Romeo and Juliet and The Homecoming.

Answer to Question 2

The monologue and dialogue. Monologues are often associated with
documentaries, but can also be found in fictional films, in which an off-screen
narrator provides the audience with factual information accompanying the visuals.
Dialogue is generally natural speech or conversational language between characters.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
