BSED – ENGLISH III TASK
PAPER

A.     Discuss the following questions:

1. Look throughout the visuals. What social issue or significant human experience that the
story is trying to represent? Explain.
- What was clear to me is that those caterpillars that were climbing up the pillar
represents the society and stripes and yellow represents as individuals in a society,
I realized that just like in a modern society, people tend to follow what everyone
is doing just for the sake that it is the accepted norm in the society, having close
thoughts of anything new.
2. What is theme of the story? Explain your answer.
- The theme of the story is about life, the story is trying to recreate what an
individual person’s outlook in life is, having the doubt of what is their ultimate
purpose in life is and all the obstacles that come with it, eventually having a
resolution to everything you had experienced in the end.
3. Characterize Yellow and Stripe Caterpillars. Apply what you learned in the previous
lesson about characterization and types of character.
- Yellow and Stripes are the protagonists in the story that both are in conflict with
themselves.
4. Imagine that the author had chosen a different theme for this book. Select two pages from
the text and rewrite/redraw them to illustrate the new theme. How might the events,
characters and settings change to accommodate this new message/theme?
- (1) Once upon a time A tiny striped caterpillar Burst from the egg Which had
been home For so long. “Hello world,” he said. “It sure is bright out here in the sun.” Now if
you put in this stanza that the caterpillar in a few minutes later was eaten by a bird, it would
be a totally different story, it would seem dark at first but again we will now be focusing in
the life of the bird that ate the worm, what a turn of events isn’t it? (2) “I’m hungry,” he
thought and straightaway began to eat the leaf he was born on. And he ate another… and
another….and another. And got bigger…and bigger….and bigger…. This stanza right here
would be now replaced by, If I was to be the author, replaced to be the time that the bird
returns to it’s chicks that are hungry. The theme could now be anything and might even have
our own twist in the story. We now have instead of worms, a family of birds for our
characters, and maybe one of the chicks will soon to grow up to be the bird that encounters a
 pitcher of water that is half full and was very thirsty, so came up with a brilliant plan on
putting pebbles on the pitcher to make the water inside fill it up to the top. In this point,
anything can happen.

5.      Write a reflection (one paragraph) about the story. Why not? Is the story good, why? Why
not? What part of the story you like best? Why?
It was a good story indeed, not only teaches us about life but also teaches us the secret of
true happiness. I can relate many things that have happened in life to the story, I’m talking about
realistic and typical events that happen to a normal person’s life. The story, first of all was really
interesting for me because of the pictures that I see, it is one way to captures one’s attention, it is
also written in a very creative way with a little sense of humour in it. The story can be for all
ages, it is both pleasant for the kids and also a eye opener for young adults. It shows us that in
life, one can always be curious in life, but may not always find the answer they were hoping to
get.
