reader's sentiments and thoughts.

conventional way.
4. In her excerpt, what reality does the author want to tell us about Philippine society? Do you
think this is still true? Explain.
- The story tells us about how unemployment affects the whole society. Yes, In Filipino culture,
the father is seen as the family's face and a role model who molds the entire family. As a
result, if a father is unable to speak and act in the best interests of his family, it will have a
significant impact on his children's present and future.

“tongue “in her excerpt.
-Tongues are also indicative of the voice of the gods.
Activity 3: Draw me!

For me, the poem represents a pacifier. Because pacifier is just like our mothers, it gives comfort to us
and helps our parents and infants get through periods of crying when the infant is either not hungry
or too full to eat but still needs the comfort that sucking provides.

Activity 4: Agree or Disagree

AGREE: The stanza "the journey was a perilous one: full of hardships, pains and tears". We all go
through trials and tribulations as we grow older. We must smile through these difficulties and pains
in order to have a fantastic and unforgettable year. It's a "give it a shot" relationship, and keep in
mind that "life moves on."
