If it is a literary text, text-related tasks could include any of these:

1. What specific issues does the text approach? (hate, power, love, belief...)
2. How is the text organized and how is the experience of the text shaped by its organization? (structure, setting, point of view, chracterization, plot elements with implications, the turning point/climax...)
3. Occurences of figurative language/symbolic representations and their significance(s)
4. What particular uses of language define the tone of the text (dialogue, rhetorics, colloqualisms,...)
4. Grammar issues
