Think About This!

Our forefathers already had their literature, which reflected in their customs and
traditions. They had their alphabet even before they had colonized. The Spanish friars
burned their alphabet in the belief that they were works of the devil or were written on
materials that quickly perished, like the barks of trees, dried leaves, and bamboo
cylinders, which could not have remained firm even if efforts were made to preserve
them. Our unique geographic location is the reason why we are rich.
PRE-SPANISH LITERATURE - is characterized by:

• Folk tales. These are made up of stories about life,
adventure, love, horror, and humor where one can derive lessons. An
example of this is THE MOON AND THE SUN.
• The Epic Age. Epics are long narrative poems in which a series of heroic
achievements or events, usually of a hero, are dealt with at length.
• Folk Songs. These are one of the oldest forms of Philippine literature that
emerged in the pre-Spanish period. These songs mirrored the early forms of
culture. Many of these have 12 syllables. Examples of which are Kundiman,
Kumintang o Tagumpay, Ang Dalit o Imno, Ang Oyayi o Hele, Diana, Soliraning
and Talindaw.
Understanding Literary History

Literature in this period may be classified as religious prose and poetry and secular
prose and poetry.
1. Spanish Influences On Philippine Literature
The first Filipino alphabet, called ALIBATA, was replaced by the Roman alphabet.
Also, the teaching of the Christian Doctrine became the basis of religious practices.
European legends and traditions brought here became assimilated in our songs,
corridos, and moro-moros.
• Folk Songs
It manifests the artistic feelings of the Filipinos and shows their innate appreciation
for and love of beauty. The examples are Leron-Leron Sinta, Pamulinawen,
Dandansoy, Sarong Banggi, and Atin Cu Pung Sing-sing.
• Recreational Plays

There were many recreational plays performed by Filipinos during the Spanish
times. Almost all of them were in a poetic form such Cenaculo, Panunuluyan,
Salubong and Zarzuela.
PERIOD OF ENLIGHTENMENT (1972- 1898)

In 19th Century, Filipino intellectuals educated in Europe called Ilustrados began to
write about the hitch of colonization.
The Propaganda Movement (1872-1896) - This movement was spearheaded mostly by

the intellectual middle-class like Jose Rizal, Marcelo del Pilar; Graciano Lopez Jaena,
Antonio Luna, Mariano Ponce, Jose Ma. Panganiban, and Pedro Paterno.
 Some of Rizal’s writings: Noli Me Tangere, Mi Ultimo Adios, Sobre La Indolencia
Delos Filipinos and Filipinas Dentro De Cien Aňos.
 Some of Del Pilar’s writings: Pagibig sa Tinubuang Lupa (Love of Country),
Kaingat Kayo (Be Careful), and Dasalan at Tocsohan (Prayers and Jokes).
 Some of Jaena’s writings: Ang Fray Botod, La Hija Del Fraile (The Child of
the Friar), and Everything Is Hambug (Everything is mereshow), Sa
Mga Pilipino...1891), and Talumpating Pagunita Kay Kolumbus (An Oration
to Commemorate Columbus).
THE AMERICAN REGIME (1898-1944)

Linguistically, Americans influenced Filipino writers to write using English language.
Jose Garcia Villa became famous for his free verse.
Characteristics of Literature during this period:
The languages used in writing were Spanish and Tagalog and the dialects of the
different regions. But the writers in Tagalog, continued in their lamentations on the
conditions of the country and their attempts to arouse love for one’s native tongue
and the writers in English imitated the themes and methods of the Americans.
THE JAPANESE PERIOD (1941-1945)
Philippine Literature was interrupted in its development when another foreign country,
Japan, conquered the Philippines between1941-1945. Philippine literature in English
came to a halt. This led to all newspapers not to be circulated in the community except
for TRIBUNE and PHILIPPINE REVIEW.
 Filipino Poetry during this period
The common theme of most poems during the Japanese occupation was
nationalism, country, love, and life in the barrios, faith, religion, and the arts.
 Three types of poems emerged during this period:
a. Haiku , a poem of free verse that the Japanese like. It was made up
of 17 syllables divided into three lines and
b. Tanaga – like the Haiku, is short, but it had measure and rhyme.
c. Karaniwang Anyo (Usual Form)
PHILIPPINE LITERATURE IN ENGLISH (1941-1945)

Because of the strict prohibitions imposed by the Japanese in the writing and publishing
of works in English, Philippine literature in English experienced a dark period. For the
first twenty years, many books were published both in Filipino and in English.
In the New Filipino Literature, Philippine literature in Tagalog was revived during this
period. Most themes in the writings dealt with Japanese brutalities, the poverty of life
under the Japanese government, and the brave guerilla exploits.
PERIOD OF ACTIVISM (1970-1972)

According to Pociano Pineda, youth activism in 1970-72 was due to domestic and
worldwide causes. Because of the ills of society, the youth moved to seek reforms.
The Literary Revolution

the government. It was manifested in the bloody demonstrations and the
sidewalk expressions and also in literature.
PERIOD OF THE NEW SOCIETY (1972- 1980)

The period of the New Society started on September 21, 1972. The Carlos Palanca
Awards continued to give annual awards. Poems dealt with patience, regard for native
culture, customs, and the beauties of nature and surroundings. Newspapers donned new
forms. News on economic progress, discipline, culture, tourism, and the like were
favored more than the sensationalized reporting of killings, rape, and robberies.
Filipinos before were hooked in reading magazines and comics.
PERIOD OF THE THIRD REPUBLIC (1981-1985)

After ten years of military rule and some changes in the life of the Filipino, which started
under the New Society, Martial Rule was at last lifted on January 2, 1981. The Philippines
became a new nation, and this, former President Marcos called “The New Republic of the
Philippines.” Poems during this period of the Third Republic were romantic and
revolutionary. Many Filipino songs dealt with themes that were true-to-life like those
of grief, poverty, aspirations for freedom, love of God, of country and fellowmen.
POST-EDSA 1 REVOLUTION (1986-1995)

History took another twist. Once more, the Filipino people regained their independence,
which they lost twenty years ago. In four days from February 21-25, 1986, the so-called
People Power (Lakas ng Bayan) prevailed. In the short span of the existence of the real
Republic of the Philippines, several changes already became evident. It was noticed in
the new Filipino songs, newspapers, speeches, and even in the television programs. The
now crony newspapers that enjoyed an overnight increase in circulation were THE
INQUIRER, MALAYA, and the PEOPLE’S JOURNAL.
21st CENTURY PERIOD

generation. 21st Century learners are demanded to be ICT inclined to compete with the

Identifying Representative Texts from the Regions
The country’s rich repertoire of literary masterpieces may be rooted in the diverse
cultural heritage of the Filipino people. They have produced varied texts because of
differences. The mighty roar of the North and the fiery temperament of the South
blended well. The Filipinos speak of the collective experiences from the people who
have gone through difficulties, triumphs, struggles, successes, armed conflicts,
bloodless revolutions, and others. It is the reason why these masterpieces resonated
loud and clear in the Philippine archipelago.

A Taste of Philippine Poetry

Located in the northwest of Luzon, the Ilocos Region or Region 1 is comprised of four
provinces, namely: Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur, La Union, and Pangasinan. It is bordered to
the west by the turbulent South China Sea, to the east by the Cordillera Administrative
Region, the northeast and southeast by Cagayan Valley and the South by Central Luzon.
Most of the inhabitants of the Ilocano homeland are concentrated along a narrow coastal
plain. Because of geographical boundaries, these people often experience heavy rains
and violent typhoons, especially during rainy seasons.
The region, then, takes pride in long stretches of white sand and clear waters alongside
its rich cultural heritage. What you are about to read is a poem written by a Carlos
Palanca Memorial Awardee in Poetry in 1964, Carlos A. Angeles. His collection of poems
entitled, Stun of Jewels, also bagged him the Republic Cultural Heritage Award in
Literature in the same year.
A Moment of Silence
Gabu depicts a coastline in Ilocos that is constantly experiencing the battering

restlessness of the sea. The water that comes back to the shore seems furious and
ruthless with its daylong bashing, which havocs the wasteland. Being an archipelagic
country, the Philippines knows the importance of water and the sea.

democracy. It is home to many Philippine heroes foremost, and among them are Rizal of
Laguna, Mabini of Batangas, and Aguinaldo of Cavite.

The island of Visayas is one of the major geographical divisions in the Philippines, the
other two being Luzon and Mindanao. It is divided into Western, Central, and Eastern
Visayas. The Visayas region is comprised of several islands circling the Visayan Sea. Its
people, therefore, share a sea-based culture and tradition that may be rooted in a strong

On this December morning. Salt things my eyes.
Months ago, I see Pepe,
Pepe came to me A blur
In the observatory. Between the soldiers
I thought we would talk With their Mausers raised
About the stars And the early morning’s
That do not collide Star:
In the sky: Still shimmering

(His cheeks still ruddy The star itself
From the sudden sun Is already dead
After the bitter winter
In Europe

understand the author, content, characters and message of a text? Have you used
your mobile phone, laptop or computer in understanding and appreciating literary
works of varied authors?
In the previous module, you have learned about how literary, biographical, linguistic
and socio-cultural contexts enhance the text’s meaning and enrich the reader’s
understanding. Specifically, how biographical context is used to understand the
poem “Padre Faura Witnesses the Execution of Rizal”. In this module, you will be
learning that close analysis and critical interpretations of literary texts could be done
through the use of varied multimedia formats aside from understanding the contexts
of a literary piece. But before you learn something new, try to do the activity below.

1. Who authored the poem, “Padre Faura Witnesses the Execution of Rizal”?
2. What is a biography?
3. Which type of context is formed by the beliefs, experiences, education and
culture of the author?
Have you found studying literature more exciting with multimedia supports
where you can actively and collaboratively build knowledge structures using
technology? Evidently, most of the learners like you have realized the huge impact of
the use of multimedia in studying literature. It provides opportunities for learners like
you to construct and reconstruct your ideas in audio and visual formats. Through
multimedia platforms, you can apply a wide range of strategies to understand,
interpret and evaluate texts.
Marshall (2001) defined multimedia as computer-controlled integration of text,

graphics, drawings, still and moving images (video), animation, audio, and any other
media where every type of information can be represented, stored, transmitted and
processed digitally.
Here are some of the multimedia formats that you can use to creatively interpret
various genres of literary texts.
• Blog or a “weblog” is a website containing informational articles about a
person’s own opinions, interests and experiences. These are usually changed
regularly (DepEd 2013, 9).

• Mind mapping is a graphical technique to visualize connections of ideas and
pieces of information. This tool structures information to better analyze,
comprehend, synthesize, recall and generate new ideas. You can use Microsoft
Word or online mind mapping tools in creating a mind map (Pasuello 2017).
3. Mobile phone text tula is a traditional Filipino poem. A particular example of
this poem is a tanaga that consists of 4 lines with 7 syllables each with the
same rhyme at the end of each line. (DepEd 2013, 8).
• Slideshow presentation is created with the use of Microsoft PowerPoint. It
contains series of pictures or pages of information (slides) arranged in
sequence and often displayed on a large screen using a video projector
(Computer Hope 2018).
 Tag cloud is a visual, stylized arrangement of words or tags within a textual
content such as websites, articles, speeches and databases (Techopedia 2020)
 Video is an electronic device used to record, copy, playback, broadcast, and
display moving visual media (Lexic).

Have you read an anecdote? Have you ever retold a personal experience to
someone? How do you find recalling past experiences?
We are fond of sharing humorous experiences in life to our family members and
friends. We might not be aware that we are already sharing stories like anecdotes all
day, every day.
An anecdote is a short entertaining or interesting story about a real incident or

person (Nagpal 2016).
Anecdotes tell about a variety of stories and tales, since they can be about any
topic under the sun. It is a short story about a real person or event which usually
intends to make the listeners laugh or ponder over a topic (Your Dictionary 2020).
For example, if a group of learners tell about their favorite pets, and one learner
shares a story about how his dog cuddles every time he comes home from school,
then that learner has just imparted an anecdote. Let's look at how John Jack Wigley
made use of anecdotes in his memoir “Home of the Ashfall”.

HOME OF THE ASHFALL (an excerpt)
by John Jack G. Wigley
The eruption of Mount Pinatubo was recorded as the second largest terrestrial
eruption of the 20th century, and the largest eruption populated area. Ash fall affected
almost the entire island of Luzon, and even reached the neighboring countries of
Malaysia and Vietnam. To the Kapampangans and to the people affected by this tragedy,
it would serve as a testament to their irrepressible attribute of rising about their plight
and predicament.
I was no longer living in Angeles City when Mt. Pinatubo erupted on June 15, 1991.
I was promoted from being a crew member at Pizza Hut Dau to management trainee at
Pizza Hut Harrison Plaza in December 1990. It was my first time to work in Manila. Ed
Calupitan, a fellow Pizza Hut crew member now based in Manila, offered me a place to
stay in his two-bedroom apartment.
Weeks before the eruption, I read several news and warnings about
Mt. Pinatubo. Frankly, I never knew there was a volcano in the Zambales mountain
range. Nobody among my Kapampangan friends did. I guess we were all clueless about
the impending danger this world cause in our lives. Later on, I realized that the summit
of the volcano was just fourteen kilometers away from the extent of Clark Air Base. I
thought that volcanoes were conspicuous mountains and had fierce-looking summits
like Mayen’s and Haicon’s. But this one was deeply hidden among several mountains
called the “Cabusilan mountains” of Zambales.
Hell, I thought that if there was a mountain near us which I imagined would erupt
anytime, it would be the Arayat, which was located at the heart of Pampanga, with its
open mouth and forbidding countenance. Not this obscure mountain whose native
inhabitants, the Aetas, never knew about. I paid no more attention to warnings.
I had only been to Manila for barely six months and was enjoying a new-found
independence. I would sometimes go to Angeles City to see my mother during days off.
That fateful day, after my opening shift, I went to see a film. It was “Hihintayin Kita
sa Langit”, a film adaptation of Bronte’s “Wuthering Heights” directed by Carlitos
Siguion Reyna. The film starred erstwhile lovers played by Richard Gomez and Dawn
Zulueta. I was feeling all mushy and melodramatic after watching the film when, once
outside, I saw parked cars covered with what seemed like a whitish-gray blanket. And
so were the streets.”Is it finally showing in Manila?” I thought, as I felt some of the

particles in my hand and smudge my shirt. When I looked closely and touched them, they
were grainy. It was like ash from an ashtray.
(Ermino 2017)
Let’s explore some of the purposes of anecdotes:
1. To Bring Cheer
Stories pop up anywhere and these are just sometimes making people laugh to
brighten their mood. Here is an example of an anecdote meant to look back on
happy memories:
• At the dinner, a Grade 11 learner shared his story on his first day at
school when he got lost and attended a wrong class.
2. To Reminisce
In most anecdotes, people are talking about their experiences in the past.
They try to look back on moments in their lives and share the joy of that
time with others. Here is an example of an anecdote with a hint of
reminiscence:
• A mother tells her children a story about her life in the province when
she was teenager.
3. To Caution
Sometimes, just giving rules for individuals is not effective. Sharing to them
frightening stories of dangers can be helpful for them to realize the possible
consequences of their actions. Here is an example of cautionary anecdote:
• Before beginning a lecture on not following traffic rules, a father tells his
son an incident of collision that caused many lives due to ignoring traffic
signs.
4. To Persuade or Inspire
Sometimes, people share stories on how they surpassed their struggles in life.
These, most of the time, give encouragement to others who have been in similar
situations. The message usually conveys successes in life as a fruit of hard work.
Here is an example of an inspirational anecdote:
• Before beginning a remedial class, the teacher tells the students how a
boy who used to struggle in reading managed to be a proficient reader.

BASIC ELEMENTS OF A SHORT STORY
• Character– A character in a short story is a person, in some stories an animal, who

takes part in the action of the story or other literary work. The way an author develops
the character in a story is very important in making the story appeal to the readers. It
is said that the heart of the story are the characters. The two most important
characters in a short story are the protagonist and the antagonist.
a. The protagonist is considered as the main character or most important of all

the characters. It is the character who learns something or undergoes some changes
throughout the course of the story. Some stories depict the protagonist as the hero of
the story, while in other stories the protagonist is not considered a hero as he has
done nothing heroic. In any case, the story always revolves around the protagonist.
b. The antagonist is the character that challenges the main character. It has no
concern for the well-being of the main character. The antagonist may be a person, the
nature, the society, or any intangible matter that contends with or creates a problem
for the protagonist.
• Setting– The place (locale) and time (period )when the story happens is called the
setting. The setting may be based on real place and real time or it may also be based
on the author’s imagination. When analyzing the setting of the story, consider where
the action is taking place. Most authors use descriptive words to describe the
landscape, scenery, buildings, season, or weather to provide a strong sense of setting
which will help the reader visualize the story and connect to the story’s plot.
• Plot– A plot is the actual story. It is what the story is all about. It is also the series of
events and characters’ actions that lead to the highest point of interest in a short story.
The following are the different parts of a story’s structure:
a. Exposition –This is the beginning of the story. This is where the author
introduces the characters, identifies where the story is happening, and establishes the
main conflict.

b. Rising Action–This event occurs as you begin to move throughout the story.
This is where conflicts start to build.
c. Climax– It is the most exciting part of a short story. This is the part in the
story when important decisions are made or important things are discovered.
d. Falling Action– This point occurs after the climax as the problems in the story
start to work themselves out. The excitement becomes less and less as the conflict is
resolved.
e. Resolution– This is the solution to the problem in a story. The solution may
not be what you hoped for but as long as it fits the story in tone and theme, the conflict
has been resolved.
4. Conflict– Every story needs to have a problem and this problem is called conflict.
The main character, also called the protagonist, needs to have someone or something
to challenge him. Without conflict, the story will not go anywhere and will not be very
interesting to the readers. The main character may be faced with one of the four
different types of conflict. These four types of conflict are:
man versus man;
man versus nature;
man versus himself; and
man versus society.
5. Theme- This is the central idea in a short story and a general truth. This is
considered as the author’s message to the readers.
6. Point of View – This is the way the story is told or narrated. It is also known as the
vantage point that a writer uses to narrate the story. The following are the types of
point of view in a short story:
First Person – the narrator participates in and tells the story using the
pronoun ‘I’.
Limited Third Person – the narrator is not in the story and narrates using
the pronouns ‘she’ or ‘he’. Also, the narrator is unable to see into the minds of the
characters.

Omniscient Third Person – the narrator is not in the story and tells the story
using the pronouns ‘she’ or ‘he’. In this point of view, the narrator can tell the thoughts
of the characters as he can see into their minds.
The elements of a short story are the characters, setting, plot, conflict, theme, and
point of view. The plot structure is composed owaf the following: exposition, rising
action,climax, falling action and resolution.

Topic: Basic Elements of a Short Story
Basic Elements of a Short Story
A short story has six basic elements that you as a reader should look for when
analyzing one. Every story begins with a seed of an idea. Hence, the author should
think of these basic elements when writing a story. Although not all stories put equal
importance on every aspect, each of these elements must be expected in the story. At
the end of this lesson, you are expected to do a self- and/or peer assessment of the
creative adaptation of a literary text based on rationalized criteria.
SINIGANG
Marie Aubrey J. Villaceran
“So, what happened?”
She had finally decided to ask the question. I had been wondering how long my
Tita Loleng could contain her curiosity.
I continued to pick out tomatoes for the Sinigang we were to have for dinner. I
wasn’t usually the one who assisted my aunt with the cooking. She preferred my
younger sister, Meg, for I knew far less in this area—not having the aptitude, or the
interest, I guess—for remembering recipes. That didn’t matter today, though. This
time, Tita Loleng wanted more than just an extra pair of hands in the kitchen.

“Nothing much,” I answered offhandedly. “We did what people usually do during
funerals.” I reminded myself to tread carefully with her. Though I did not really feel
like talking, I could not tell her off for she took offense rather easily.
I put the tomatoes in the small palanggana, careful not to bruise their delicate
skin, and carried them to the sink.
“Did you meet…her?” Tita Loleng asked.
There came to me a memory of sitting in one of the smaller narra sofas in the
living room in Bulacan. I faced a smooth white coffin whose corners bore gold-plated
figures of cherubs framed by elaborate swirls resembling thick, curling vines. Two
golden candelabras, each supporting three rows of high-wattage electric candles,
flanked the coffin and seared the white kalachuchi in the funeral wreaths, causing the
flowers to release more of their heady scent before they wilted prematurely. Through
an open doorway, I could see into the next room where a few unfamiliar faces held
murmured conversations above their coffee cups.
“Are you Liza?” A woman beside me suddenly asked.
I was surprised, for I had not heard anyone approaching. Most of the mourners
preferred to stay out on the veranda for fear that the heat from the lights might also
cause them to wither.
I looked up slowly: long, slim feet with mauve-painted toenails that peeked
through the opening of a pair of scruffy-looking slippers; smooth legs unmarred by
swollen veins or scars—so unlike the spider-veined legs of my mom—encased in a
black, pencil-cut skirt; a white blouse with its sleeves too long for the wearer, causing
the extra fabric to bunch around the cuffs; a slim neck whose skin sagged just a little
bit; and a pale face that seemed like it had not experienced sleep in days. The woman
looked to me like she was in her forties—the same age as my mother.
“Yes,” I had answered that woman—the same answer I now gave to Tita Loleng.
I gently spilled out all the tomatoes into the sink and turned on the tap. The
water, like agua bendita, cleansed each tomato of the grime from its origins.
“What did she tell you?” Tita Loleng asked.

“Nothing much. She told me who she was.”
“What did she look like?”
“She’s pretty, I guess.”
She was. She looked like she had Indian blood with her sharp nose and deep-set
eyes thickly bordered by long lashes. Just like Mom, she still maintained a slim figure
though she already had children. The woman, upon seeing my curious stare, had
explained, “I am Sylvia.”
All my muscles tensed upon hearing her name. It took all my self-control to
outwardly remain calm and simply raise an eyebrow.
My reaction caused a range of emotion to cross the woman’s face before it finally
crumbled and gave way to tears. Suddenly, she grabbed my hand from where it had
been resting on the arm of the sofa. Her own hands were damp and sticky with sweat.
She knelt in front of me—a sinner confessing before a priest so he could wash away
the dirt from her past.
But I was not a priest. I looked down at her and my face remained impassive.
When her weeping had subsided, she raised her head and looked at me.
“Everyone makes mistakes, Liza.” Her eyes begged for understanding.
It was a line straight out of a Filipino soap opera. I had a feeling that the whole
situation was a scene from a very bad melodrama I was watching.
I looked around to see if anyone had witnessed the spectacle unfolding in this
living room, but it was as if an invisible director had banned all but the actors from
the set. Except for us, not a soul could be seen.
I wanted Sylvia to free my hand so I nodded and pretended to understand.

Apparently convinced, she let go and, to my shock, suddenly hugged me tight. My nose
wrinkled as the pungent mix of heavy perfume and sweat assailed me. I wanted to
scream at her to let go but I did not move away.
“Hmm, I think they’re washed enough na.” Tita Loleng said.
Turning off the tap, I placed the tomatoes inside the basin once more. Then, as an
afterthought, I told my Tita, “I don’t think she is as pretty as Mom, though.”

Tita Loleng nodded understandingly. She gestured for me to place the basin on
the table where she already had the knives and chopping board ready.
“Where was your Dad when she was talking to you?”
“Oh, he was sleeping in one of the bedrooms. Mom did not want to wake him up
because they told her he had not slept for two nights straight.”
Tita Loleng snorted. “Haay, your mother talaga,” she said, shaking her head.
I had to smile at that before continuing. “When he saw me, Sylvia had already
been called away to entertain some of the visitors.”
“Was he surprised to see you?” Tita knew that I had not wanted to go to the
funeral. Actually, she was one of the few people who respected, and understood, my
decision.
“No.” I sliced each of the tomatoes in quarters. The blade of the knife clacked
fiercely against the hard wood of the chopping board. “He requested Mom to make me
go there.” We both knew that I could never have refused my mother once she insisted
that I attend. I had even gone out and gotten drunk with some friends the night before
we were to leave just so I could have an excuse not to go, but my mom was inflexible.
She had ordered my two sisters to wake me up.
Tita Loleng gave me a sympathetic look. “No choice then, huh?” She was forever
baffled at the way my mother could be such a martyr when it came to my father and
such a tyrant to her children.
Clack! Clack! The knife hacked violently against the board.
“Nope.”
When my Dad had come out of the room, I remembered sensing it immediately—
the same way an animal instinctively perceives when it is in danger. I had been looking
at the face of my dead half-brother, searching for any resemblance between us.
Chemotherapy had sunk his cheeks and had made his hair fall out, but even in this
condition, I could see how handsome he must have been before his treatment. His
framed photograph atop the glass covering of the coffin confirmed this. Lem took after

my father so much that Dad could never even hope to deny that he was his son. I, on
the other hand, had taken after my mother.
I knew my father was staring at me but I refused look at him. He approached and
stood next to me. I remained silent.
“I am glad you came,” he said.
I gave him a non-committal nod, not even glancing his way.Tita Loleng
interrupted my thoughts with another one of her questions.
“Did you cry?”
I shook my head vehemently as I answered, “No.”
I took the sliced tomatoes, surprised to find not even a splinter of wood with
them, as well as the onions Tita Loleng had chopped and put them in a pot. “What
next?” I asked her.
“The salt.” Then she went and added a heaping tablespoonful of salt to the
pot.
“Is that all?”
“Uh-huh. Your Mom and I prefer it a bit saltier, but your Dad likes it this way.”
Then she gestured towards the pot, closing and opening her fist like a baby flexing its
fingers.
I started crushing the onions, tomatoes, and salt together with my hand. “He
was an acolyte in church,” my father had said then, finally splintering the silence I
had adamantly maintained. “Father Mario said that we shouldn’t feel sad because
Lem is assured of going to a better place because he was such a good child.” Good, I
thought, unlike me whom he always called “Sinverguenza”, the shameless daughter.
I finally turned to him. There was only one question I needed to ask. “Why?”
He met my gaze. I waited but he would not—could not— answer me. He looked
away.

My mask of indifference slipped. It felt like a giant hand was rubbing salt into
me, squeezing and mashing, unsatisfied until all of me had been crushed.
“Stop it na, Liza!” Tita Loleng exclaimed. “Anymore of that mashing and you will
be putting bits of your own flesh and bone in there,” my aunt warned. She went to the
refrigerator and took out plastic bags containing vegetables. She placed them in the
sink. “All of these will be needed for the sinigang,” she said. “Prepare them while
you’re softening the meat.” Then she took off her apron, “You go and finish off here. I
will just go to my room and stretch my back out a bit.” With a tender pat on my head,
she walked out of the kitchen.
I breathed a sigh of relief. The questions had stopped, for now.
I poured the hugas bigas into the mass of crushed onions and tomatoes and
added the chunks of beef into the concoction before covering the pot and placing it on
the stove. I turned on the flame. The sinigang needed to simmer for close to an hour
to tenderize the meat.
In the meantime, I started preparing all the other ingredients that will be added
to the pot later on. Taking all the plastic bags, I unloaded their contents into the sink
then washed and drained each vegetable thoroughly before putting them beside my
chopping board.
I reached for the bunch of kangkong and began breaking off choice sections to
be included in the stew. When I was a child, before Tita Loleng had chosen to stay with
us, my mom used to do the cooking and she would have Meg and I sit beside her while
she readied the meals. I remembered that whenever it came to any dish involving
kangkong, I would always insist on preparing it because I loved the crisp popping
sound the vegetable made whenever I broke off a stem. It was on one such occasion, I
was in second year high school by then but still insistent on kangkong preparation,
when Mom had divulged the truth about the boy who kept calling Dad on the phone
everyday at home. Meg had also been there, breaking off string beans into two-inch
sections. Neither of us had reacted much then, but between us, I knew I was more
affected by what Mom had said because right until then, I had always been Daddy’s
girl.
When the kangkong was done, I threw away the tough, unwanted parts and
reached for the labanos. I used a peeler to strip away the skin—revealing the white,
slightly grainy flesh—and then sliced each root diagonally. Next came the sigarilyas,
and finally, the string beans.

Once, I asked Tita Loleng how she knew what type of vegetable to put into
sinigang and she said, “Well, one never really knows which will taste good until one
has tried it. I mean, some people cook sinigang with guavas, some with kamias. It is a
dish whose recipe would depend mostly on the taste of those who will do the eating.”
I got a fork and went to the stove where the meat was simmering. I prodded the
chunks to test whether they were tender enough—and they were. After pouring in
some more of the rice washing, I cleared the table and waited for the stew to boil.
A few minutes later, the sound of rapidly popping bubbles declared that it was
now time to add the powdered tamarind mix. I poured in the whole packet and stirred.
Then I took the vegetables and added them, a fistful at a time, to the pot. As I did so, I
remembered the flower petals each of my two sisters and I had thrown, fistful by
fistful, into the freshly dug grave as Lem’s casket was being lowered into it.
My dad was crying beside me and I recalled thinking, would he be the same if I
was the one who had died? I glanced up at him and was surprised to find that he was
looking at me. His hand, heavy with sadness, fell on my shoulder.
“I’m sorry,” he had told me.
I let the stew boil for a few more minutes before turning off the fire.
The sinigang would be served later during dinner. I pictured myself seated in my
usual place beside my father who is at the head of the table. He would tell Mom about
his day and then he would ask each of us about our own. I would answer, not in the
animated way I would have done when I was still young and his pet, but politely and
without any rancor.
Then, he would compliment me on the way I had cooked his favorite dish and I
would give him a smile that would never quite show, not even in my eyes.

Interpretation of Literary Texts

applying a Reading Approach
Activity: (30 pts)
1. What are ICT skills?
2. What are the essential elements of the literary piece “Footnote to Youth”?
3. What is the use of multimedia to relatively interpret a literary text?
Reading Approach
Teachers use reading approach as one of the methods in teaching English. This
approach is one way of solving student’s reading problems. Students are demanded
to read more to improve their knowledge and get new ideas. Inferencing, guessing
and predicting are important skills developed in reading. By reading, students will
know about the different of culture by reading across cultural understanding, and

they will learn how to pronounce the words correctly. In reading approach, students
are expected to improve their English skills.
Skimming
In skimming, the main idea of a text is quickly identified. The goal is to read
shorter texts to extract accurate detailed information. Skimming is done at speed
three to four times faster than regular reading. People often skim when they have
lots of material to read in a limited amount of time. Some students will read the first
and last paragraphs using headings, summarizes and other organizers as they move
down the page or screen. Some might also read the title, subtitles, subheadings, and
illustrations. Other people consider reading the first sentence of each paragraph.
Skimming works well to find dates, names, and places. It might be used to review
graphs, tables, and charts. This technique is useful when you are seeking specific
information rather than reading for comprehension.
Scanning
Scanning is quickly reading a text to get the summary of it. It is a technique
wherein students search for keywords or ideas. Scanning involves moving eyes
quickly down the page seeking specific words and phrases. Scanning is also used for
the reader to find answers to questions. Once a student scanned the document, they
will go back and skim it.
Extensive reading
Extensive reading is an approach to language learning, including foreign
language learning, by means of a large amount of reading. The readers view and
review of unfamiliar words in a specific context will allow the reader to infer the
word’s meaning, to learn unknown words. Extensive Reading is the free reading of
books and other written material that is not too difficult for readers. Extensive
Reading is sometimes called Free Voluntary Reading.
Direction: Read the selection Chechnya by Anthony Marra and answer the questions
that follows.
Chechnya
Anthony Marra
AFTER HER SISTER, Natasha, died, Sonja began sleeping in the hospital. She
returned home to wash her clothes a few days a month, but those days became
fewer and fewer. No reason to return, no need to wash her clothes. She only wears
hospital scrubs anyway.

She wakes on a cot in the trauma unit. She sleeps there intentionally, in anticipation
of the next critical patient. Some days, roused by the shuffle of footsteps, the cries of
family members, she stands and a body takes her place on the cot and she works on
resuscitation, knowing she is awake because she could dream nothing like this.
“A man is waiting here to see you,” a nurse says. Sonja, still on the cot, rubs the
weariness from her eyes.
“About what?”
The nurse hesitates. “He’s right out here.”
A minute later in the hallway the man introduces himself. “My name is Akhmed.” He
speaks Russian without an accent, but by now Sonja feels more comfortable
conversing in Chechen. A short beard descends from Akhmed’s face. For a moment
she thinks he’s a religious man, then remembers that most men have grown their
beards out. Few have shaving cream, fewer have mirrors. The war has made the
country’s cheeks and chins devout.
He gestures to a small girl, no older than eight, standing beside him. “My wife and I
cannot care for her,” Akhmed says. “You must take her.”
“This isn’t an orphanage.”

“There are no orphanages.”
The request is not uncommon. The hospital receives humanitarian aid, has food and
clean water. Most important, it tends to the injured regardless of ethnicity or
military affiliation, making the hospital one of the few larger buildings left
untargeted by either side in the war. Newly injured arrive each day, too many to care
for. Sonja shakes her head. Too many dying; she cannot be expected to care for the
living as well.
“Her father was taken by the rebels on Saturday. On Sunday the army came and took
her mother.”
Sonja looks at the wall calendar, as if a date could make sense of the times.
“Today is Monday,” she says.
“I was a medical student before the war,” Akhmed says, switching to Chechen. “In my
final year. I will work here until a home is found for the girl.”

Akhmed glowers. Sonja often sees defiance from rebels and occasionally from
soldiers, but rarely from civilians.
“I can’t,” she says, but her voice falters, her justification failing.
Sonja surveys the corridor: a handful of patients, no doctors. Those with money,
with advanced degrees and the foresight to flee the country, have done so.
“Parents decide which of their children they can afford to feed on which days.
No one will take this girl,” Sonja says.
“Then I will keep working.”
“Does she speak?” Sonja looks to the girl. “What’s your name?” “Havaa,” Akhmed
answers.
Six months earlier Sonja’s sister, Natasha, was repatriated from Italy. When Sonja
heard the knock and opened the door, she couldn’t believe how healthy her sister
looked. She hugged her sister, joked about the padding on her hips. Whatever
horrors Natasha had experienced in the West, she’d put fat around her waist.
“I am home,” Natasha said, holding the hug longer than Sonja thought necessary.
They ate dinner before the sun went down, potatoes boiled over the furnace. The
army had cut the electric lines four years earlier. They had never been repaired.
Sonja showed her sister to the spare room by candlelight, gestured to the bed. “This
is the place you sleep, Natasha.”
They spent the week in a state of heightened civility. No prying questions. All talk
was small. What Sonja noticed, she did not comment on. A bottle of Ribavirin
antiviral pills on the bathroom sink. Cigarette burns on Natasha’s shoulders. Sonja
worked on surgeries, and Natasha worked on sleeping. Sonja brought food home
from the hospital, and Natasha ate it. Sonja started the fire in the morning, and
Natasha slept. There were mornings, and there were nights. This is life, Sonja
thought.
Akhmed is true to his word. Five minutes after Sonja accepts the girl, he is washed
and suited in scrubs. Sonja takes him on a tour of the hospital. All but two wings are
closed for lack of staff. She shows him the cardiology, internal medicine, and
endocrinology wards. A layer of dust covers the floors, their footprints leaving a
trail. Sonja thinks of the moon landing, how she saw the footage for the first time
when she arrived in London.

“Where is everything?” Akhmed asks. Beds, sheets, hypodermics, disposable gowns,
surgical tape, film dressing, thermometers, IV bags, forceps—any item of practical
medical use is gone. Empty cabinets, open drawers, locked rooms, closed blinds,
taped-over windowpanes, the stale air remain.
“The trauma and maternity wards. And we’re struggling to keep them both
open.”
Akhmed runs his fingers through his beard. “Trauma, that’s obvious. You have to
keep trauma open. But maternity?”
Sonja’s laugh rings down the empty hall. “I know. It’s funny, isn’t it? Everyone is
either giving birth or dying.”
“No.” Akhmed shakes his head, and Sonja wonders if he’s offended by her. “They are
coming into the world, and they are leaving the world and it’s happening here.”
Sonja nods, wonders if Akhmed is religious after all.

Adaptation from The Journey to the River Sea

By Eva Ibbotson
Maia is an orphan. Her only guardian is a lawyer, named Mr. Murray, whose only
responsibility is to help her with the small amount of money her parents have left
her when they died. Then, Maia learned that her relatives, the Carters would be
willing to take care of her. When a note written by the Carter twins, Gwendolyn and
Beatrice, arrives, Maia makes up her mind to go live with the Carters in their house
on the Amazon. She travels there with Miss Minton, her new tutor. On the boat from
England, she meets Clovis King, a struggling child actor. The two quickly became

friends. Maia is very excited to live with the Carters. She imagines that she and the
twins will become the best of friends and they will have a wonderful time together.
However, the only reason the Carters took Maia in was her money. In reality,
Gwendolyn and Beatrice are selfish. They hate Maia before they even know her. Maia
feels like being with the Carters is like a being in prison. Soon, however, she meets
Finn, who is running away from private detectives known as “the crows.” They are
trying to force Finn to return to England and claim his inheritance.
When Clovis committed a mistake in a play where he belongs, he goes to Maia for
help because his acting company fires him. She and Finn hide him in the hidden
lagoon where Finn lives and devise a plan to get Clovis back to England. Finn, Maia,
and Clovis plan to make the crows believe that Clovis is Finn so Clovis pretended to
be Finn.
Meanwhile, in England, Clovis confesses that he is not the real Finn and wishes to go
home, which causes Sir Aubrey, Finn’s father to have a heart attack. The real Finn
goes to his father's home, to help Clovis reveal the truth.
In the end, Mrs. Carter, Beatrice and Gwendolyn return to England to become
servants of their wealthy relative. However, Maia, Miss Minton and Clovis all return
to Brazil. Finn inherits all his family’s money and possessions

The Unlucky Winners

Written by: Nicky Johnson
Published: 2019
Each morning, Jim walked to the corner mart for a coffee and lottery ticket.
He always passed Pete and gave the same reply to the jangling of coins,
“Half when I win.” Pete invariably responded with a tip of his soiled, red
hat. When it actually happened, Jim searched everywhere for Pete. After
months, his wife finally convinced him to spend the other half, and home
renovations began. The following spring, working in the garden, Jim
unearthed a familiar red. While lost in astonishment and horror, the faint
smell of her perfume permeated among the roses before...darkness.

Graphic fiction or a graphic novel is a comic book narrative that is equivalent in

form and dimension to the prose novel (Campbell 200, 81). The pictures are
arranged in sequenced in image panels and dialogues are written in speech
bubbles. The illustrations allow the readers to imagine and experience the
characters and events in the story.
Here are some of the features of graphic fiction or graphic novel according to Singh
(2012).
1. Autographic forms are the marks of author’s handwriting which creates an

impact that the whole novel is a manuscript and thus provides a sense of
intimacy.
2. Graphic novels encourage interactivity in the minds of the reader as he fills
in the blanks between image panels.
3. Filling in the blanks between image panels makes the reader imagine the
actions portrayed in the story.
4. The language, syntax and meaning of a graphic novel spring primarily through
the relationship between images than words.
5. Graphic fiction combines book and screen.
Some of the examples of graphic novels are the following:

• “In the Shadow of No Tower: 9/11” by Art Spiegelmen in 2004
which tells the story about the terrorist attack on September 11 in America. This also depicts the
traumatic and tragic experiences of American people during the 9/11 terrorist attack.
 “The Barn Owl’s Wondrous Capers” by Sarnath Banerjee in 2009 portrays 18th century Calcutta
exploiting the myth of the “Wandering Jew”.
 “Louis Riel” by Chester Brown in 2003 is a fictionalized violent rebellion in the 19th Century on the
Canadian praire who led by Riel.
Flash fiction is imaginative literature of extreme brevity. It could range from a word to a thousand (Gacusan
2018). It is known as micro stories, postcard fiction, nanotales and short shorts.
According to Sustana (2020), most of the flash fictions have these common characteristics.
 Brevity. Flash fiction presents the story with fewest words as possible.
 Complete plot. Flash fiction emphasizes the development of plot. It has a beginning, middle and ending of
the story.
 Surprising ending. The successful hallmark of a flash fiction is its twist at the end of the story.
Here some of the flash fictions.

 “Angels and Blueberries” by Tara Campbell is a story of various explanations for the color of the sky
that involves angels and blueberries.
First lines: “Why is the sky blue?” you ask. Well, it all depends on who’s answering.
 “Taylor Swift” by Hugh Behm-Steinberg tells a weird story of how anyone can order a perfectly clone
of Taylor Swift at his doorstep.
First line: You’re in love; it’s great, you swipe on your phone and order: the next day a Taylor Swift clone
shows up at your house.
 “Unnecessary Things” by Tatyana Tolstaya is a story of finding an old and torn teddy bear, “unnecessary
things” (items that do not serve any useful purpose), that she adored as a child.
First lines: This Teddy bear once had amber eyes made from special glass — each one had a pupil and an iris.
The bear itself was gray and stiff, with wiry fur. I adored him.

Literary Genre on Creative Multimedia Presentation

Multimedia is an essential avenue to transform unique adaptations of a literary
genre, thus, making learning outputs interesting and productive. To have a creative
adaptation of literary genres, the following concepts have to take into considerations.
A. Multimedia and its Concepts
A multimedia is any electronic application used to teach lessons or to further

educate learners on a particular topic. It is a presentation of material that uses both
words and pictures in a combination of text, voice, picture or video. Using interactive
digital tools to tell a story is called digital storytelling and often uses a combination of
multimedia venues to complete the task. The use of multimedia allows educational ideas
and materials to be presented in a more artistic, inspired and engaging way.
B. Uses of Multimedia and its Formats
There are many uses of multimedia for a deeper understanding of a lesson.

Audiobooks are ideal for second-language learners. Song files and music videos can
be used to compare social norms in different eras. Multimedia can offer students a
better understanding of the lesson.
The multimedia formats from various media includes: text and graphics for
slideshows, presentations, diagrams and infographics. Audio has podcasts and
recordings. Screen captures, lecture captures and animation are examples of video
components of multimedia. Other multimedia components include blogs, vlogs,
webinars and other interactive content.
Multimedia applications include the interaction of different media types like

animation, video, text and sound. It has become a part of our lives as soon as we
entered the digital age. Before the modern technology, there are tools helping us
appreciate some of the types of multimedia such as videos on television.
There are various components of multimedia such as:
1. Videos
https://www.thejigsaw.in/blog/how-to-make-youtube-videos
Digital video is a primary component in multimedia, especially those that

appear online and on television. The different formats of these types of multimedia
include wmv, avi, mped and flash. Some of these formats are better than others
because they load faster and can be viewed or loaded using different platforms and
operating systems. Many videos have changed formats ever since the mobile phone

industry became more advanced in technology. Many of the video formats require
plug-ins on browsers and specific mobile applications to load.
Here is a list of multimedia formats:
https://www.w3schools.com/html/html_media.asp
Format File Description

MPEG. Developed by the Moving Pictures Expert Group.
.mpg The first
popular video format on the web. Not supported
MPEG .mpeg anymore in
HTML.
AVI (Audio Video Interleave). Developed by Microsoft.
Commonly
used in video cameras and TV hardware. Plays well on
AVI .avi Windows
computers, but not in web browsers.
WMA (Windows Media Audio). Developed by Microsoft.

WMA .wma Plays well
on Windows computers, but not in web browsers.
Flash Video is a container file format used to deliver
flash swf digital video
(small web content over the Internet using Adobe Flash Player
file} version 6 and
newer.
MP3 files are actually the sound part of MPEG files. MP3
is the
most popular format for music players. Combines
MP3 .mp3 good
compression (small files) with high quality. Supported
by all
browsers.
MP4 is a video format, but can also be used for audio.
MP4 .mp4 Supported
by all browsers.
2. Animation
https://www.hitechanimation.com/blog/top-5-animated-character-who-changed-the-
face-of-animation-industry/
Animation is a form of art for most people, especially those that are in the business
of producing animated movies. Right now, animation has become interactive,
allowing users to directly affect the outcome of animated components and events.

Flash is the most common platform for animation, and using this component, the
interactivity of animation is enhanced.
3. Text
http://todo.design/photoshop-tutorial-how-to-make-a-portrait-made-only-
of-
Text has always been and will always been the most common among the
types of multimedia components in different applications. Text in combination
with other media components can make any application more user-friendly. By
using text, interactivity is increased. Text elements are particularly important for
accessibility purposes. Users of an application need to input text for the system to
identify them. Text is also used to create a digital signature, such as in passwords.
4. Images
https://www.ephotozine.com/article/microsoft-windows-xp--review-4338
Digital image files are needed to create videos and animation. A user would sooner go to
a website filled with colourful photographs than one that contains only text elements.
Familiar image formats include jpeg and png. These formats permit editing. Images are
created by graphic designers using various software.
5. Audio
https://www.dreamstime.com/stock-photo-audio-waves-microphone-image14394820
Voiceovers comprise a tremendous number of the types of multimedia components.
Audio files include background music and special effects. Any audio in an application is
designed to improve a user’s experience.
C. Characteristic of a Multimedia
Multimedia can be used in the presentations, making them more fun and interesting.
A multimedia presentation has various viewing options such as projector or a media

player and the like.
You can also download the multimedia presentation or play it live.

The technology of multimedia can also be used to make the information be conveyed
more easily to the user.
Multimedia technology has improved the learning experience by combining various

forms of media together. https://www.educba.com/best-free-multimedia-software/
D. Benefits of Using Multimedia

Digital storytelling allows students to improve their knowledge about a specific subject
and increases skills such as writing, researching and reading.

Using multimedia improve a learner’s overall academic performance. In particular,
multimedia in the classroom is used for self-directed learning or SDL.
Students manage their time and assess what needs to be included in their learning
activities. This style of learning is used mostly with older students who already know
how to manipulate many of the multimedia venues available to them.

RICH PEOPLE PROBLEMS

an excerpt by Kevin Kwan
1. Bettina Ortiz y Meña was not accustomed to waiting. A former Miss Venezuela and
Miss Universe runner-up, of course, the exceedingly bronzed strawberry blond was
these days the wife of Miami auto-parts tycoon, Herman Ortiz y Meña, and at every
restaurant she chose to grace with her presence, she was always greeted with
reverence and whisked to the exact table she desired. Today she wanted the corner
table on the terrace at Sip Sip, her favorite lunch spot on Harbor Island.
She wanted to sit on one of the comfy orange canvas director’s chairs and stare out at
the gently lapping turquoise waters while eating her Kale Caesar salad, but there was a
large noisy group taking up the entire terrace
and they didn’t seem in much hurry to leave.
2. Bettina fumed as she glared at the tourists happily savoring their lunch in the sun.
Look how tacky they were…the woman overly tanned, wrinkled and saggy, none of them
properly lifted or botoxed.
She felt like walking up to their table and handing out her dermatologist’s business cards.
And the men were even worse. All dressed in all rumpled shirts and shorts, wearing those
cheap straw hats sold at the trinket shot on Dunmore Street. Why did such people have to
come here?
3. The three-and-a-half-mile-long paradise with its pristine pink-Sandbeaches was one

of the best-kept secrets in the Caribbean, a haven for the very rich filled with quaint
little wood houses painted in shades of sherbet, charmin boutiques, chic oceanfront
mansions turned into inns, and five-star restaurants to rival St. Barths. Tourists
should have to take a style exam before being allowed to set foot on the Island!
Feeling that she had been patient long enough, Bettina stormed into the kitchen, the
fringe on her crocheted Pucci caftan top shaking furiously as she made a beeline for
the woman with a shock of pixie-cut blond hair manning the main stove.
4. “Julie, honey, what’s the dealio? I’ve waited more than fifteen minutes for my table!”
Bettina sighed to the owner of the restaurant.

“Sorry, Bettina, it’s been one of those days. The party of twelve on the terrace showed
up first just before you did,” Julie replied as she handed off a bowl of spicy conch chili to
waiting server.
“But the terrace is your prime spot! Why on earth did you let those tourists take up all
that space?”
5. “Well, that tourist in the red fishing cap is the Duke of Glencora. His party just boated
over from Windermere – that’s his Royal Huisman you see moored off the coast. Isn’t
it the most handsome sailboat you’ve ever seen?”
6. “I’m not impressed by big boats,” Bettina huffed, although secretly

She was rather impressed by people with big title. From the kitchen window, she
surveyed the party assembled on the terrace with new eyes. These aristo British types
were such a strange breed. Sure, they had their Savile Row suits and their heirloom tiaras,
but when they traveled, they looked so painfully frumpy.
7. It was only then that Bettina noticed three tan, well-built men in fitted white T-shirts
and black Kevlar pants sitting at the adjacent table. The guys weren’t eating but sat
watchfully, sipping glasses of seltzer water. “I assume that’s the duke’s security
detail?
They couldn’t be more obvious! Don’t they know that we’re all billionaires here on
Briland, and this isn’t how we roll?”Bettina tutted.
8. “Actually, those bodyguards belong to the duke’s special guest. They did a whole
sweep of the restaurant before the party arrived. They even searched my walk-in
freezer. See that Chinese fellow seated at the end of the table?”
Bettina squinted through her Dior Extase sunglasses at the portly, balding, seventy-
something Asian man dressed in a nondescript white short-sleeved golf shirt and gray
trousers. “Oh, I didn’t even notice him! Am I supposed to know who he is?” That’s
Alfred Shang, Julie said in a hushed tone.
9. Bettina giggled. “He looks like their chauffeur. Doesn’t he look like that guy that
use to drive Jane Wyman around in Falcon Crest?”
Julie, who was trying to focus on searing a cut of tuna to perfection, shook her head a
tight-lipped smile. “From what I hear, that chauffeur is the most powerful man in Asia.”
“What’s his name again?”
A. The Basic Elements of a Short Story
Character| The character element is the person or people in a story. Sometimes

the characters are not human, some may be animals or spirits. Incidentally, even when
non-human characters are used, they tend to have human characteristics.
Characters are usually of two types:

The protagonist and the antagonist.
The protagonist is the main character. He or she is in conflict with another character,
who is known as the antagonist.
An example of a protagonist and an antagonist are Superman, the protagonist, and Lex
Luthor, the antagonist.
Setting| The first important element of a short story is the setting. The setting refers
to the time and place that the event(s) in the story take place.
Plot| The plot refers to the flow of events in the story. Essentially, the plot refers to
what is happening in the story.
Conflict| The conflict or complication refers to the tension, the fight or the struggle
between the various characters or forces in the story. This actually gives fuel to the story
and influences its flow (i.e. its plot). Without the conflict, then you have no story.
Climax| The climax is the most exciting part of a story. It is when the conflict is about to
or is getting resolved.
Theme| This element refers to the topic that the writer writes or comments on in his or
her writing. The theme is the motif of the story, that is, it permeates the whole story and
recurs throughout the narrative. An example of a theme is the topic of "bravery" in Harry
Potter.
B. Information and Communication Technology or ICT

Information and communications technology (ICT) refers to all the technology used
to handle telecommunications, broadcast media, intelligent building management systems,
audiovisual processing and transmission systems, and network-based control and
monitoring functions. ICT is often considered an extended synonym for information
technology (IT).
https://www.techopedia.com/definition/24152/ information-and-communications-
technology-ict
Information Technology (IT) is the use of computers to store, retrieve, transmit, and
manipulate data, or information. IT system is generally an information system, a
communications system or, more specifically speaking, a computer system – including all
hardware, software and peripheral equipment – operated by a limited group of users.
C. ICT Skills
ICT skills are about understanding and applying a range of computer programs,
software and other applications. These include: word processing, spreadsheets,
databases, power points and search engines.
https://www.thebalancecareers.com/computer-skills-list-2063738
ICT skills are being manifested if you can do the following:

Type / encode your document; bring out your best writing using MS Word- word
processor manipulate numbers and data for computation; discover and connect to
data, analysis using MS Excel – number processor generate slides for presentation;
design professional presentations using MS PowerPoint – slide presentation create
everything from labels to newswriting and marketing materials using MS Publisher
Copy(Ctrl+C) and Paste (Ctrl+V) any items from internet – images, video clips, music
and be able to embed them in your outputs
CITE SOURCE(s) on any imported images, video clips, music ---to avoid plagiarism
Manage browsing websites
Save any files with appropriate file formats
Associate yourself as a Techie person (one who has smart and clever ways of
manipulating computer and other related-gadgets)
4. Components of ICT
The term Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is generally accepted

to mean all technologies that, combined, allow people and organizations to interact in
the digital world.

JAKE
by Jim Bartlett
Jake’s eyes snap open, and he quickly turns to the side. But like his aching heart,
the spot where Max always sat on the couch remains empty. He takes in a long, deep

breath – really more of a sigh – and squeezes his eyes closed, hoping that by slipping
into the darkness of a nap, he will temporarily mask his sorrow.
For fifteen years they were inseparable. Always side

by side. The walks on the beach with the gentle waves
calling, the seagulls cawing. All those hikes on the trail
where the trees canopied over like arches, wrapping
them in a soft cool shade on a hot sunny day. Even just
a ride to the grocery store for something Martha may
have forgotten, they always went together.
Though he knows that in some ways he should be

thankful for just having their time together – those
moments forever
etched in his heart – and that the sickness took Max quickly rather than dragging out the
pain for weeks, maybe even months, he still feels cheated. That somehow he is missing
years that could have been.
Unable to sleep, he looks around the all too empty room, letting his gaze fall upon the
leash, which still hangs from the peg by the door. It seems to wait patiently, ever ready
for that next big adventure. As his eyes well up, he realizes for the first time how much
his grief weighs, how hard it is to even rise with such a heaviness inside.
It is then he hears a shuffle from behind and turns to see Martha standing in the doorway,
her shoulder resting against the frame.
“I thought you might be in here,” she says. She looks down at him for only a moment
before her stare drifts to the couch. “I miss him, too, Jake. More than you’ll ever know.”
There’s a faraway melancholy tone to her voice, but he knows that her heart, like his, has
a hole too big to fill. His head drops and he gives off another long sigh, which seems to
prompt her to come over and kneel down onto the carpet beside him. She slides a hand
under his chin and lifts it up, then tucks back his long, floppy ears, such that their teary
eyes can meet.
“I guess you do know, don’t you, Jake.”
Directions: Reflect on and answer the questions below. Write your answer on a
• What did you feel after reading the story? Expound your answer.
• Based on the story, who is Jake and why is he in a state of loneliness?
• What words were used to help you figure out Jake’s identity?

• Who was Max and what happened to him?
5. Do you believe in the adage, ‘A dog is man’s best friend’? Elaborate on your
answer.
FLASH FICTION
The story you read is an example of a flash fiction. A flash fiction, also known as
short-short story, typically contains less than 1000 words which is most often used to
describe short casual written works. Although a flash fiction may be written in any genre,
the most famous ones are in romance, thriller, horror and sci-fi. Even with only a number
of words, a flash fiction also bears the essential elements of a short story. The paramount
of all the elements for this type of literature is the plot.
A flash fiction is similar to a short story is some ways. Both tell a complete story with
a beginning, middle and end with the elements of storytelling in place. However, they, too,
have differences.

most, down to the core of the story. Every
one plot and a small subplot or a
plot detail, every character gesture, every
and a half. description counts; each word has its
place. Take one word away and the
meaning is lost.

Characteristics of Flash Fiction
When writing a flash fiction story, it is important to know how they are similar and
different to longer stories. Flash fiction is shorter, but it should not feel too short. Here are
some traits of strong flash fiction stories.
• Story Structure: A flash fiction story is not the shortened version of a longer story; it
still follows the elements of plot, including a beginning, middle and end, as well as a
conflict and satisfying resolution.
• Setting: Most flash fiction stories take place in one setting, as moving between locations
uses up too much space. It allows the writer and reader to focus on the plot.
• Characters and Backstory: Flash fiction pieces are plot-driven and include no more
than three or four characters. They may include some character development, but too
much backstory can use valuable space.
• Description: One may think that flash fiction stories are short on description to save
space. However, a strong piece can balance vivid descriptions with a quick-moving plot.
Stories that lack description are not satisfying to read, and a flash fiction piece should feel
complete.
The PLOT
Every written story has a plot- the series of events and characters’ actions that
includes a beginning, a middle and an end. Also, every written story has a plot structure
or a narrative arc. Although it is important for a story to have all its essential elements,
the plot is the major element of all as it is what the story is all about. The plot is the actual
story. Without it, a writer has not penned anything.
Two types of plot
A writer can create a story using one of the two types of plot- a unified plot or an
episodic plot. A unified plot has a story that is realistic with a central character and action
and the story happens in one place during a short span of time- a day, several hours or
even just for an hour. An episodic plot, on the other hand, has a story that happens in a
much extended period of time. A writer who employs the episodic plot frequently uses the
technique of ‘flashback’ to lay out background details of the story. But similar to the
unified plot, an episodic plot also has a central character, setting and action.
There are three other ways to write a plot. A plot may be written as a movement in
casualty, a movement in time and a movement in dramatic tension.
PLOT – a movement in time

The plot is a movement in time when the story transpires on a particular period of time
such as an hour, a day, a week, a month or even a year.
PLOT - movement in casualty
The plot is a movement in casualty when the story is established on a series of casual
events that happen one after another. Here, the writer is to create a story based on the
principle of cause and effect that is, the first event sets off the second and the second event
sets off the third and so on. Hence, every new event has a casual relationship to the old
ones.
PLOT - a movement in dramatic tension

The plot is a movement in dramatic tension when the story has dialogue, action, details,
descriptions and scenes that amplify the tension and persuade the reader to turn the page
and continue reading. The techniques of foreshadowing, flashback and epiphany are
oftentimes employed in this type of plot.
The following are the components of a plot structure or parts of the narrative.
a. Exposition – This is the beginning of the story, also known as the inciting incident.
This is where the author introduces the characters, identifies where the story is
happening, and establishes the main conflict. This includes events, actions or even
decisions that build conflict, pressure or disturbance to the main character.
b. Rising Action – This is also known as the plot complication where the writer fully
introduces the conflict or the obstacle that will prevent the main character, the
protagonist, to achieve his goal.
c. Climax – This part is considered as the most exciting part of a story. This part has
the most tension or most exciting event compared to all other events in the story. Also,
this is where important decisions are made or important things are discovered.
d. Falling Action – This point occurs after the climax as the problems in the story
start to work themselves out. The excitement becomes less and less as the conflict is
resolved.
e. Resolution/End – This is the solution to the problem in a story. When a writer brings
resolution to end the story, he can end the story with either an open or closed ending. When a writer
uses a closed ending, the resolution is done by answering all unanswered questions that were implied
or explicitly stated. A death is an example of a closed ending. When a writer uses an open ending, he
leaves the readers to think, wonder or speculate what happens after the story has ended.
