Di ka naman magsusulat ng tula dahil sa nalalaman mo Kundi sa nararamdaman mo.

10. Themes
"Love"
Because Fidel even if he has a speech defect,he wrote a hundred poems just for a girl name Stella.
They were friends and Fidel wa slowly falling into Stella and after all the unexpected scenes,he
can manage to confess her feelings to Stella but he was too late because Stella was pregnant that
time with her new boyfriend.
11. Cultural Implication
Because of his speech defect,Fidel was only allowed to use three word per sentence. For him not
to be stutter.
12. Implication of the Title
I thought that the movie was like a pure love story of a couple. Because if you only read the title
like "100 Tula para kay Stella",it was like a boy was only writing a poem for his girlfriend or
couple.
