snapped him out of his thoughts
and back to the wheel.

and moved close to the curb,
pulling ahead of the space.

in reverse, a flash
swooped in from behind
and took from square
what the morning had offered.

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that this excerpt is important because it is possible to infer that a troubling and significant scene, possibly an accident, has just happened. The trash collector had just being absorbed in his thoughts, and he was about to resume his duties when a flash, possibly from a vehicle, fell on him, and took from him "what the morning had offered"—the chance to have some time, perhaps just a few minutes, to be immersed in his thoughts.

answer

answer: a: they can affect the author’s perspective and in turn the theme and purpose for the writing.

the author's background and time period greatly affect the text that the author produces. this is because we are all a reflection of our time period and background. depending on where and when we were born, we will find some questions more important than others. for example, if we are a wealthy person born in medieval times, we will most likely be interested in courtly love and stories of knights and honour. however, if we are born in the 20th century in africa, we might instead focus on colonialism and its effects on the newly liberated countries. the theme and the purpose of writing are both affected by these conditions.
