Anybody from the class?”
“Very good! At least you can still “Yes Sir!”

remember the topic that we discussed last
time. Now let us proceed with our new
lesson.”
A. Motivation
“Before we proceed to the lesson, just like “Clear sir!”

the last time, I will be giving you a short
game called ‘find me”. I will be showing
here a puzzle and you have to find the
following terms. You can do it through the
use of pen in your screen. Once you find
one, you have to inform me to claim your
plus two points for the upcoming quiz after
the lesson. Are we clear with that?
“Done sir! I found the word propped up,
The game will start 3…2…1…go ” toffee, porch…”
Yes, very good! These words are actually “Yes Sir"!

taken from our topic for today. Note every
single word that you can see from the
puzzle. You can use all of those to better
understand our topic today.
Now take a look at the PowerPoint “Okay Sir! Propped- to support by placing
presentation and read the definitions of the something or against something…”
following words that you just found out on
the puzzle.
E. Lesson Proper
Teacher: “Now turn your book on page Students will open their book on page 260.
260”
Teacher: “We are now on the second

literary author who is Katherine Mansfield.
But before we discuss his work, let us first
know who Katherine Mansfield is by
knowing about his short background.
Antonia, will you please read the following
paragraphs about the author.
Antonia: “Katherine Mansfield (1888-
1923) wrote many fine short stories. Near
the end of her short life, she said that she
had not yet written the things she would
like to write.
Her stories are noted for their
psychological values. Her characters are
lifelike, placed in situations that make
reading her stories a really illuminating
experience.
Several factors help develop the character
of children as shown in the following
selection. Mansfield pictures the pride and
pleasure of the children in a new toy. Such
joy is dampened by the folly of adults in
making wealth and social position stand in
the way of real friendship. Find out how
such narrow- mindedness affects the
children”
Teacher: “Thank you so much Antonia for
the reading that. So now we found out .
about Katherine Mansfield. We found out
that she had not yet written the things she
would like to write and we also found out
that her stories are noted for their
psychological values. That her characters
are lifelike. We got a little idea about the
story which we are about to read, “The
Doll House”, about the factors that affects

character development of children, pride
and joy, and wealth and social position.
Now let us see how these themes are shown
in the story. Rienier, please read the first
two paragraphs of the story.
Student: “When dear old Mrs. Hay went
back to town after staying with the Burnells
she sent the children a doll’s house. It was
so big that the carter1 and Pat carried it into
the courtyard, and there it stayed, propped
up on two wooden boxes beside the feed-
room door. No harm could come to it; it
was summer.
And perhaps the smell of paint would have

gone off by the time it had to be taken in.
For, really, the smell of paint coming from
that doll’s house (“Sweet of old Mrs. Hay,
of course; most sweet and generous!”)—
but the smell of paint was quite enough to
make any one seriously ill, in Aunt Beryl’s
opinion. Even before the sacking was taken
off. And when it was. . . .
There stood the doll’s house, a dark, oily,

spinach green, picked out with bright
yellow. Its two solid little chimneys, glued
on to the roof, were painted red and white,
and the door, gleaming with yellow
varnish, was like a little slab of toffee. Four
windows, real windows, were divided into
panes by a broad streak of green. There
was actually a tiny porch, too, painted
yellow, with big lumps of congealed paint
hanging along the edge.
But perfect, perfect little house! Who could
possibly mind the smell? It was part of the
joy, part of the newness.
“Open it quickly, some one!”
Teacher: “Okay that very good Rienier, .”

will you please share what have you
understood with what you read? What did
Mrs. Hay sent to the children? Will you
please describe how it looks?”
Rienier: “Yes sir, I understood that Mrs.
Hay gifted the Burnells a Big Doll House.
It was said to be dark, oily, spinach green,
picked out with bright yellow. It has two
red and white chimneys, door with
gleaming yellow varnish, four windows
that were divided into panes by a broad
streak of green.”
“That’s very good Rainier, the first two
paragraphs of the story talks about the
newly arrived doll House gifted by Mrs.
Hay. It was vividly described by the author
so that we can imagine and picture in our
mind how it looks. Can you imagine how
the doll house looks just by the description
of the author?
Students: “Yes sir, we can imagine and
picture it on our mind”
“That’s very good, Heaven, will you please
read the next three paragraphs?”
Heaven: Yes sir, “The hook at the side was

stuck fast. Pat pried it open with his
penknife, and the whole house front swung
back, and—there you were, gazing at one
and the same moment into the drawing
room and dining room, the kitchen and two
bedrooms. That is the way for a house to
open! Why don’t all houses open like that?
How much more exciting than peering
through the slit of a door into a mean little
hall with a hat stand and two umbrellas!
That is—isn’t it?—what you long to know
about a house when you put your hand on

the knocker.
Perhaps it is the way God opens houses at
dead of night when He is taking a quiet
turn with an angel. . . .
“O-oh!” The Burnell children sounded as

though they were in despair. It was too
marvelous; it was too much for them. They
had never seen anything like it in their
lives. All the rooms were papered. There
were pictures on the walls, painted on the
paper, with gold frames complete. Red
carpet covered all the floors except the
kitchen; red plush chairs in the drawing
room, green in the dining room; tables,
beds with real bedclothes, a cradle, a stove,
a dresser with tiny plates and one big jug.
But what Kezia liked more than anything,
what she liked frightfully, was the lamp. It
stood in the middle of the dining room
table, an exquisite little amber lamp with a
white globe. It was even filled all ready for
lighting, though, of course, you couldn’t
light it. But there was something inside that
looked like oil, and that moved when you
shook it.
The father and mother dolls, who sprawled

very stiff as though they had fainted in the
drawing room, and their two little children
asleep upstairs, were really too big for the
doll’s house. They didn’t look as though
they belonged. But the lamp was perfect. It
seemed to smile at Kezia, to say, “I live
here.” The lamp was real.”
Teacher: “Thank you for reading Heaven,

will you please share us what have you
understood with what you just read? How
do you think they responded with the way
the doll house looks?” Heaven: “Sir, I understood in the first

paragraph that I just read that they are
talking about how big the doll house. All of
them were amazed with the way it looks.
Teacher: “Okay good. How about the other
two paragraphs? What are the features of
the doll house described? What particular
feature in the doll’s house seemed most
real to Kezia? What do you think about it
Gliford? Gliford: “ Sir, based on how I understood
the paragraph, I can say that there were
pictures on the walls, red carpet flooring,
red plush chairs in the drawing room,
tables, beds with read bed clothes, a cradle,
stove and many more. But what got the
attention of Kezia is the lamp because for
her it looks so real.”
Teacher: “That’s very impressive Gliford.“
That part of the story shows us even more
detailed picture of the doll house. Just by
how it was described by the author, we can
already imagine that it was really big and
too realistic. We also found out that the
lamp got the attention of the youngest
daughter in the story who is Kezia. Okay
continue reading the next four paragraphs,
Nethania.
Nethania: “The Burnell children could
hardly walk to school fast enough the next
morning. They burned to tell everybody, to
describe, to—well—to boast about their
doll’s house before the school bell rang.
“I’m to tell,” said Isabel, “because I’m the
eldest. And you two can join in after. But
I’m to tell first.
There was nothing to answer. Isabel was

bossy, but she was always right, and
Lottie and Kezia knew too well the powers

that went with being eldest. They brushed
through the thick buttercups at the road
edge and said nothing.
And I’m to choose who’s to come and see
it first. Mother said I might.” For it had
been arranged that while the doll’s house
stood in the courtyard they might ask the
girls at school, two at a time, to come and
look. Not to stay to tea, of course, or to
come traipsing through the house. But just
to stand quietly in the courtyard while
Isabel pointed out the beauties, and Lottie
and Kezia looked pleased. . . .
But hurry as they might, by the time they

had reached the tarred palings of the boys’
playground the bell had begun to jingle.
They only just had time to whip off their
hats and fall into line before the roll was
called. Never mind. Isabel tried to make up
for it by looking very important and
mysterious and by whispering behind her
hand to the girls near her, “Got something
to tell you at playtime.”
Teacher: Very good Nethania now will you
please tell us what have you understood
with what you read? What do you think
happened in those paragraphs?
Nethania: “Sir, I understood that Isabel, the

eldest of the Burnell, told her sister that it
was her who will first boast about the doll
house to everybody. Her two sisters on the
other hand didn’t say anything on it since it
was part of her privilege as the eldest. I
also understand sir that they might invite
only two people at a time to see the doll
house. The bell had begun to jingle and
they have to hurry. ”

Teacher: “That’s very good Nethania. On
this part of the story, we met the other
Burnells of the story who is Isabel, Lottie,
and Kezia. We can see here how they
planned to tell everybody about the doll
house. Isabel said that she would first tell
anyone and that they might ask girls at
school to come two at a time. Then they
finally reached school and Isabel started
whispering about the doll house and the
bell rang. Okay continue reading the next
two paragraphs Juleah.
Juleah: “Playtime came and Isabel was

surrounded. The girls of her class nearly
fought to put their arms around her, to walk
away with her, to beam flatteringly, to be
her special friend. She held quite a court
under the huge pine trees at the side of the
playground. Nudging, giggling together,
the little girls pressed up close. And the
only two who stayed outside the ring were
the two who were always outside, the little
Kelveys. They knew better than to come
anywhere near the Burnells.
For the fact was, the school the Burnell

children went to was not at all the kind of
place their parents would have chosen if
there had been any choice. But there was
none. It was the only school for miles. And
the consequence was all the children in the
neighborhood, the Judge’s little girls, the
doctor’s daughters, the storekeeper’s
children, the milkman’s, were forced to
mix together. Not to speak of there being
an equal number of rude, rough little boys
as well. But the line had to be drawn
somewhere. It was drawn at the Kelveys.
Many of the children, including the

Burnells, were not allowed even to speak to
them. They walked past the Kelveys with
their heads in the air, and as they set the
fashion in all matters of behavior, the
Kelveys were shunned by everybody. Even
the teacher had a special voice for them and
a special smile for the other children when
Lil Kelvey came up to her desk with a
bunch of dreadfully common-looking
flowers.”
Okay very good Juleah. What have you
understood with what you read? In the first
paragraph? What did the girls do?
Juleah: Sir, I understood that during
playtime, all the girls gather and formed a
circle with Isabel and then they started
talking about the doll house. The Kelveys
on the other hand was ignored and was
forbidden to even try to join it.
Teacher: “That’s very good Juleah. Isabel,
together with the other girls formed a circle
under the huge pine trees at the side of the
playground then they started talking about
the doll house. The on the other hand the
Kelveys were ignored. We will find out
later on why after the explanation of Calvin
to the paragraph next to that. Okay Calvin,
what did you understand with it?
Calvin: “Sir, I understood that students on
that particular school came from different
families such as doctor’s daughters,
storekeeper’s kid, judge’s little girls, rude
little boys, and the Kelveys. And that
Burnells would probably not choose the
school if they ever had other choice.
Teacher: “Very well said Calvin. During

the time when this story was written, social
hierarchy was so evident and this is where
the author of the story got her idea. You
can see in this particular paragraph how
people will discriminate you just because
of you social class. Even children’s are
taught to act their social status; they even
choose their friend based on how rich they
are.” Let us see why Kelveys were
discriminated by reading the next
paragraph. Will you please read Jazztin.
Jazztin: “They were the daughters of a
spry, hardworking little washerwoman,
who went about from house to house by the
day. This was awful enough. But where
was Mr. Kelvey? Nobody knew for certain.
But everybody said he was in prison. So
they were the daughters of a washerwoman
and a jailbird. Very nice company for other
people’s children! And they looked it. Why
Mrs. Kelvey made them so conspicuous
was hard to understand. The truth was they
were dressed in “bits” given to her by the
people for whom she worked. Lil,
for instance, who was a stout, plain child,
with big freckles, came to school in a dress
made from a green art-serge3 tablecloth of
the Burnells’, with red plush sleeves from
the Logans’ curtains. Her hat, perched on
top of her high forehead, was a grown-up
woman’s hat, once the property of Miss
Lecky, the postmistress. It was turned up at
the back and trimmed with a large scarlet
quill. What a little guy she looked! It was
impossible not to laugh. And her little
sister, our Else, wore a long white dress,
rather like a nightgown, and a pair of little
boy’s boots. But whatever our Else wore
she would have looked strange. She was a
tiny wishbone of a child, with cropped hair

and enormous solemn eyes—a little white
owl. Nobody had ever seen her smile; she
scarcely ever spoke. She went through life
holding on to Lil, with a piece of Lil’s skirt
screwed up in her hand. Where Lil went
our Else followed. In the playground,
on the road going to and from school, there
was Lil marching in front and our
Else holding on behind. Only when she
wanted anything, or when she was out of
breath, our Else gave Lil a tug, a twitch,
and Lil stopped and turned around.
The Kelveys never failed to understand
each other.”
“Thank you for reading that Jazztin now
will you please share us why do you think
Kelveys were discriminated?” Jazztin: “Yes sir, It was basically because
they were poor. Their mother was just a
washerwoman and their father are said to
be in the prison. On the top that, the
Kelveys daughters dressed so differently
from others Lil wears a dress made from
Logan’s curtains, her hat was a grown up
woman’s hat. Else, little sister of Lil, on the
other hand wears long white dress and a
pair of boy’s boots. She is even described
as a white owl.
“That’s very good Jazztin. They were .

actually discriminated because of their
background, social status and the way they
look. It was also stated there that Else is
always holding at the skirt of Lil and
follows her wherever she goes. Continue
reading the two four paragraphs Maria
Angelica
Maria Angelica: Now they hovered at the

edge; you couldn’t stop them listening.
When the little girls turned round and
sneered, Lil, as usual, gave her silly,
shamefaced smile, but our Else only
looked.
And Isabel’s voice, so very proud, went on

telling. The carpet made a great sensation,
but so did the beds with real bedclothes,
and the stove with an oven door.
When she finished Kezia broke in. “You’ve

forgotten the lamp, Isabel.” “Oh, yes,” said
Isabel, “and there’s a teeny little lamp, all
made of yellow glass, with a white globe
that stands on the dining room table. You
couldn’t tell it from a real one.
“The lamp’s best of all,” cried Kezia. She

thought Isabel wasn’t making half enough
of the little lamp. But nobody paid
attention. Isabel was choosing the two who
were to come back with them that
afternoon and see it. She chose Emmie
Cole and Lena Logan. But when the others
knew they were all to have”
“Thank you for reading that Maria

Angelica will you please share what have
you understood?”
Maria Angelica: “Yes sir, I understood that
the Kelveys tried to listen to other girls
while they are talking about the doll house.
They heard Isabel’s voice bragging about
the carpet of the doll house, bedclothes,
and stove. Then Kezia added the lamp. For
a while Kezia thought that Isabel is not
making enough distinction for the lamp. In
the end, Isabel chose Emmie Cole and Lena

Logan to come and see the doll house. And
that’s when the other kids started
convincing Isabel that they are her friend
and they have something for her to win her
favor. Kelveys on the other hand moved
away.
Teacher: “That’s very well said Maria
Angelica. Kelveys tried to listen, Isabel
bragged about the features of the house, she
chose Emmie Cole and Lena Logan to
come and other kids started winning her
favor. That’s the time when the Kelveys
moved away because there is nothing to
hear anymore. Okay read the next whole
page and the next five paragraphs on the
page after that Joshua.”
Student: “Days passed, and as more
children saw the doll’s house, the fame of it
spread. It became the one subject, the rage.
The one question was, “Have you seen
Burnells’ doll’s house? Oh, ain’t it lovely!”
“Haven’t you seen it? Oh, I say!”
Even the dinner hour was given up to
talking about it. The little girls sat under
the pines eating their thick mutton
sandwiches and big slabs of johnny cake
spread with butter. While always, as near
as they could get, sat the Kelveys, our Else
holding on to Lil, listening too, while they
chewed their jam sandwiches out of a
newspaper soaked with large red blobs. . . .
“Mother,” said Kezia, “can’t I ask the

Kelveys just once?”
“Certainly not, Kezia.”
“But why not?”
“Run away, Kezia; you know quite well
why not”
At last everybody had seen it except them.

On that day the subject rather flagged. It
was the dinner hour. The children stood
together under the pine trees, and suddenly,
as they looked at the Kelveys eating out of
their paper, always by themselves, always
listening, they wanted to be horrid to them.
Emmie Cole started the whisper.
“Lil Kelvey’s going to be a servant when

she grows up.”
“O-oh, how awful!” said Isabel Burnell,
and she made eyes at Emmie.
“It’s true—it’s true—it’s true,” she said.
Then Lena Logan’s little eyes snapped.
“Shall I ask her?” she whispered.
“Bet you don’t,” said Jessie May.
“Pooh, I’m not frightened,” said Lena.

Suddenly she gave a little squeal and
danced in front of the other girls. “Watch!
Watch me! Watch me now!” said Lena.
And sliding, gliding, dragging one foot,
giggling behind her hand, Lena went over
to the Kelveys.
Lil looked up from her dinner. She

wrapped the rest quickly away. Our Else
stopped chewing. What was coming now?
“Is it true you’re going to be a servant
when you grow up, Lil Kelvey?” shrilled
Lena.
Dead silence. But instead of answering, Lil

only gave her silly, shamefaced smile. She
didn’t seem to mind the question at all.
What a sell for Lena! The girls began to
titter.
Lena couldn’t stand that. She put her hands

on her hips; she shot forward. “Yah, yer
father’s in prison!” she hissed, spitefully.
This was such a marvelous thing to have

said that the little girls rushed away
in a body, deeply, deeply excited, wild with
joy. Someone found a long rope, and they
began skipping. And never did they skip so
high, run in and out so fast, or do such
daring things as on that morning.
Teacher: “Thank you for reading that
Joshua will you please share us what have
you understood with what you read?”
Joshua: Yes Sir, I understood that days
passed and everyone finally saw the doll
house of the Burnell’s. Everyone is talking
about it asking “Have you seen Burnell’s
doll house? “Oh ain’t it lovely” It was
dinner time and everyone is eating when
Kezia ask her mother if she can also invite
the Kelveys to see it too but of course her
mother angrily refuse it. It was still dinner
hour when Emmie Cole suddenly looked at
the Kelveys to talk bad about them. Lena
Logan on the other hand went straight to
them to ask if they are going to be a servant
when they grow up. The Kelveys did not
respond which led to Lena saying that their
father is in the prison.
Teacher: “That’s absolutely correct
Joshua; everyone saw the doll house except
the Kelveys. Kezia tried to ask her mom if
she can but her mom refuse. What
happened next is that Emmie Cole
badmouthed the Kelveys while Lena Logan
even said it in front of them. Continue
Reading the next paragraph until the
dialogue in the next page, Allyssa.
Allyssa:”In the afternoon Pat called for the

Burnell children with the buggy and they
drove home. There were visitors. Isabel and
Lottie, who liked visitors, went upstairs to
change their pinafores. But Kezia thieved
out at the back. Nobody was about; she
began to swing on the big white gates of
the courtyard. Presently, looking along the
road, she saw two little dots. They grew
bigger, they were coming towards her.
Now she could see that one was in front
and one close behind. Now she could see
that they were the Kelveys. Kezia stopped
swinging. She slipped off the gate as if she
was going to run away. Then she hesitated.
The Kelveys came nearer, and beside them
walked their shadows, very long, stretching
right across the road with their heads in the
buttercups. Kezia clambered back on the
gate; she had made up her mind; she swung
out.
“Hello,” she said to the passing Kelveys.

They were so astounded that they stopped.
Lil gave her silly smile. Our Else stared.
“You can come and see our doll’s house if

you want to,” said Kezia, and she dragged
one toe on the ground. But at that Lil
turned red and shook her head quickly.
“Why not?” asked Kezia.
Lil gasped, and then she said, “Your ma

told our ma you wasn’t to speak to us.”
“Oh well,” said Kezia. She didn’t know

what to reply. “It doesn’t matter. You can
come and see our doll’s house all the same.
Come on. Nobody’s looking.”
But Lil shook her head still harder.
“Don’t you want to?” asked Kezia.
Suddenly there was a twitch, a tug at Lil’s

skirt. She turned round. Our Else was
looking at her with big, imploring eyes; she
was frowning; she wanted to go. For a
moment Lil looked at our Else very
doubtfully. But then our Else twitched her
skirt again. She started forward. Kezia led
the way. Like two little stray cats they
followed across the courtyard to where the
doll’s house stood.
g
“There it is,” said Kezia.
There was a pause. Lil breathed loudly,
almost snorted; our Else was still as a
stone.
“I’ll open it for you,” said Kezia kindly.
She undid the hook and they looked inside.
“There’s the drawing room and the dining
room, and that’s the—”
“Kezia!”
Oh, what a start they gave!
“Kezia!”
Teacher: Thank you so much for reading
that Allyssa, Now will you please share us
what have you understood with what you
read? What happened in there?
Allyssa: Sir, based on my own
understanding, I understood that it was
afternoon during that time when Pat picked
up the Burnell’s to drive them home. There
were visitors at home and the kids went
upstairs to change. But Kezia went out and
began to swing on the big white gates.
There she saw the Kelveys and she went to
approach them, she hesitated for a while
and continued anyway. She said hello to
them and ask them if they want to see the

doll house too. The sister’s hesitated and
Lil even shook her head. Kezia asked why
and Lil said that it’s because of her mom.
Kezia asked again if they don’t want to and
Lil suddenly felt a twitch and a tug on her
skirt from Elsa. Implying that she want to
see the doll house. The Kelveys agreed and
went with Kezia to the doll house, Kezia
opened it for them and showed the drawing
room, the dining room and then there was a
sudden call of name “Kezia!”
Teacher: “Very well said Allysa: The
burnell’s went home and Kezia went out
instead of changing. She stayed there for a
while and swung until she noticed the
Kelveys. She approached them and asked
them to come and see the doll house, the
Kelveys hesitated for a while and came
anyway. Kezia were showing the drawing
room and dining room when her mom
suddenly called her named angrily. Now let
us see what will happen in the next
paragraph. Will you please continue
reading the remaining paragraphs, James
Nikko?
James Nikko: “It was Aunt Beryl’s voice.
They turned round. At the back door stood
Aunt Beryl, staring as if she couldn’t
believe what she saw.
“How dare you ask the little Kelveys into

the courtyard?” said her cold, furious voice.
“You know as well as I do, you’re not
allowed to talk to them. Run away,
children, run away at once. And don’t
come back again,” said Aunt Beryl. And
she stepped into the yard and shooed them
out as if they were chickens.
“Off you go immediately!” she called, cold

and proud.
They did not need telling twice. Burning

with shame, shrinking together,
Lil huddling along like her mother, our
Else dazed, somehow they crossed the big
courtyard and squeezed through the white
gate.
“Wicked, disobedient little girl!” said Aunt

Beryl bitterly to Kezia, and she slammed
the doll’s house to.
The afternoon had been awful. A letter had

come from Willie Brent, a terrifying,
threatening letter, saying if she did not
meet him that evening in Pulman’s Bush,
he’d come to the front door and ask the
reason why! But now that she had
frightened those little rats of Kelvey’s and
given Kezia a good scolding, her heart felt
lighter. That ghastly pressure was gone.
She went back to the house humming.
When the Kelveys were well out of sight of

the Burnells’, they sat down to rest on a big
red drainpipe by the side of the road. Lil’s
cheeks were still burning; she took off the
hat with the quill and held it on her knee.
Dreamily they looked over the hay
paddocks, past the creek, to the group of
wattles where Logan’s cows stood waiting
to be milked. What were their thoughts?
Presently our Else nudged up close to her
sister. But now she had forgotten the cross
lady. She put out a finger and stroked her
sister’s quill; she smiled her rare smile.
“I seen the little lamp,” she said, softly. J

Then both were silent once more.

Teacher: “Thank you for reading that
James Nikko, what do you think happened?
James Nikko: “Sir, as to what I’ve
understood, Aunt Beryl immediately
shouted at Kezia for letting the Kelveys go
inside their courtyard. She also shouted at
Lil and Elsa for going in and looking at the
doll house. She shooed them like they’re
chickens and kicked them out of sight. The
Kelveys did not need to hear more yelling
as they ran out of the white gate. It wasn’t
really a good afternoon for Aunt Beryl as
she received a threatening and terrifying
letter from Willie Brent saying that if she
did not meet him that evening at Paulman’s
Bush, he’s come to the front door and ask
her why. But because of scolding that she
did to Kezia and the Kelveys, her heart felt
better and she went back to the house
humming. Kelveys on the other hand were
out of sight of the Burnells when they sat
down and rest on a big red drain pipe. Else
nudged up close to her sister and put out a
finger and stroked her sister’s quill. The
Teacher: “Very well said James Nikko, So she smiled and said “I seen the little lamp”
Then they’re both silent once more.
that’s what happened. Aunt Beryl found
out about Kezia and the Kelveys, she
shouted and scolded Kezia, she kicked out
the Kelveys as if they were disgusting
creatures. Her heart felt lighty for doing so
because she didn’t had good afternoon that
time because of the letter from Willie
Brent. On the other hand, the Kelveys ran
away and when they are far enough they
took little rest when Else went close to her
sister and proudly said “I seen the little
lamp” and that’s how the story ended.
E. Generalization
“Okay, did you understand the story? “Yes Sir!, The people during that time
What do you think is the attitude of people values social class during that time that
during that time?” they don’t respect the people at the lower
class at all.
“Do you think children would have had any “Yes sir, if not because of the parents,
awareness of class distinction if they had children during that time would probably
been let alone by their parents? will not be aware of the social class and
they can just probably have fun and play
like normal kids do.
“Okay very good everyone, If not because “Yes Sir we will always try to do it”
of this social concept about the importance
of social class, children that time would
probably just enjoy playing without
prejudice with other kids. But because of
how their parents taught them to act, they
are somehow forced not to even try to talk
to people in the lower class. This concept is
still present up until the present day; there
is still upper class, middle class and lower
class. The rich, the middle one, and the
poor. But what differentiates us from the
people before is our awareness of these
attitudes before towards the poor, since we
already know that it’s not good, let us try to
be better and treat people well no matter
social class they are. As they said “always
be kind”, okay?
