    LITERARY ANALYSIS #1 – BIAG NI LAM-ANG (FOR SET B)

    Name:Archscott T. Jalop
    Grade 11 STEM St.Margaret

    In this activity, let’s try to identify the Context and Purpose of this literary text to the Filipino readers. But, let us first
    define Context and Purpose in views of literature inside the box.

    CONTEXT AND PURPOSE


    Context includes the time and place from which the story emerges, the environment of ideas that surround the
    issues, and the events that prompted the story or led to its publication. Closely connected is the purpose of a
    piece—is it a satire? A critique? A memoir? A journal entry?

    DIRECTION:
    To identify the context and purpose of the summarized version of the epic, BIAG NI LAM-ANG, answer the questions
    below carefully presenting your claims together with your supporting idea/s in each claim.

    Make sure to elaborate your answer in 5-7 sentences ONLY in each question.
    10 POINTS FOR EACH QUESTION. RUBRIC BELOW FOR YOUR GUIDANCE.

    1. Biag ni Lam-ang was first completed as an epic during the Spanish Colonialization. Now, what is the impact of
    Christianism in this period in the creation of the epic poem, Biag ni Lam-ang and in the Ilokano culture?
    The impact of Christianism in this period is that it helped the Spaniards conquer the Philippines. Moreover,
    converting native Filipinos to Christianity was their aim. Then, they succeeded and converted majority of Filipinos,
    83% of the population belonged to Christianity. But many natives still fought and stayed loyal to their beliefs.
    Therefore, the epic shows the Spanish presence and influence during Lam-ang’s time.

    2. From what place or culture did the story emerge? What culture/s were predominant?
    The story emerged from the Ilocos region of the Philippines. Therefore, the story also emerged from Ilocano
    culture. From my perspective, the Ilocano culture were very strong and fierce as the epic illustrates. Moreover,
    Ilocanos are also known to be hardworking and thrifty ; The resiliency of the Ilocano people is probably the result
    of their geographic location and unpredictable weather.

    3. What is/are the theme/s of the epic poem, Biag ni Lam-ang? Cite some phrase/s in the text to defend your
    answer.
    The love for his father, who may be in danger, and his willingness to do anything to protect him are, in my opinion,
    the epic poem’s theme. Since he was so furious when he dreamed of his father getting beheaded by the Igorots.
    Then he rushed to the enemy and killed them all. Moreover, It’s like a love and war story.

    4. If you will be given the chance to change the ending of the story, how will it end?
    If I would be given the chance, I would not change the ending since his resurrection represents the Ilocanos
    strong and fierce spirit. If I would change the story such as not resurrecting him then that would not have been an
    epic poem. Moreover, the magical pets represents defeat, hope, and resurrection, showing that you must
    experience failure in order to succeed. The ending of the story significantly symbolizes the Filipino culture which to
    never give up.

    5. Who was the literary text created for? What effect did the author intend? Is it to persuade, to inform, to describe,
    to explain or to entertain the readers?
    It was created for all the Filipinos. The effect that the author intended was to always remember to rise up again
    after you fall. To inform the readers that Filipinos are hard to take down and will always stand up after every fall. It
    also described how Filipinos are formidable and fierce.
