Summary of Magnificence
Tuesday, March 19, 2013 by Magnificent Four in

There is couple with a son and a daughter. Their parents have a good job. They go to school. Their mother is
a president in their village. In a meeting the man volunteered to be their tutor because he doesn’t do anything
in the evening also for an extra job. His name is Vicente. He is a bus conductor. So he went to the house every
night to teach the kids.

He promised the kids to give them 2 pencils each. One night he gives the pencil to the kids. That time it was
the "it". The children in this time want pencils. Vincent is nice to the children. He knows their wants. But when
he gave the pencil, he gives 3 pencils for the girl and 2 for the boy. Their mother said to say thank you. The boy
kissed Vicente but Vicente told him that boys don't kiss boys. Then the girl goes to Vicente to say thank you. He
hugs her so tight and the girl started to get out of his too tight hug. The girl looks at Vicente with a little wonder
on his face. The next day they were so proud and happy with their new pencils. They showed it to their friends
in class. They also thought of asking Vicente for new pencils.

In dinner they talked a little about Vicente but the father is busy reading something. He did not listen to
what the mother said. The mother thinks that Vicente is fond of the children with the way he is treating them.
That evening Vicente arrived earlier. The children are proud of the pencil. Their classmates are jealous with
their new pencils given by Vicente. He asked the little boy to get him a glass of water. Then he put the girl on his
lap. Then he let the girl write her homework. The little girl told him not to carry her because she is heavy.
Vicente is perspiring, and his eyes are strange. Then the girl jumped out of his lap because she became afraid.
 Then their mom arrived. She rubs the girls back and told them to go upstairs. The mother slapped the man
repeatedly. Vicente just accepts the entire slap that the mother gave him. Then he went out of the house. The
mother closed the door. She gives a bath to the girl. Then she asked them to throw the pencil. Then she put her
to sleep.

What is the theme of the story? Is there any sexual contact between Vicente and the little girl?

The story mainly talked about the protection given by the mother to her children. She saved her child from the
hands of a pervert (Vicente). The mother was unnamed because it represents universality, meaning, it can
happen to anybody and that mother can be any mother. The title itself posts significance, meaning
"magnificence" is the adjective used to describe the presence of a mother's guidance.

It was entitled Magnificence because of how the mother reacted brilliantly on the situation.Most of us upon
knowing that our child was sexually abused might scream and become scandalous disregarding the effects to
the respondent who are the innocent child that doesn't even know what had happened to her. The act of the
mother was magnificent because in lieu of over reacting, she treated her child as if nothing had happened
leaving the child ignorant that she had been sexually abused. It was magnificent because if the mother had over
reacted about the crime, the child would grow without confidence knowing that she has been a victim of Sexual
Harassment.

What is the summary of "Footnote to Youth" by
José García Villa?
Quick Answer
In "Footnote to Youth" by José García Villa, Dudong asserts his
supposed maturity and marries Teang at the age of 17. He thinks they
are old enough to take on this responsibility, but after they have several
children they both bemoan the dissolution of their youth and the dreams
that came along with it. Teang wonders how things could have been if
she'd married another of her suitors. At the end, Dudong's son Blas
approaches his father wanting to marry at about the same age, even
though Dudong doesn't want Blas to make the same mistake he did.
However, history ends up repeating itself.
