MAIN TASK

Questions:

1. Identify the rhyme scheme for the stanzas of the poem above
Alternate rhyme; ABAB, CDCD, EFEF, GHGH, IJIJ.

2.    How does the author paint the mother in the poem? Caring? Indifferent? Strict?

The author paints the mother as a symbol of love and care because mother plays a critical role
in the life of the character in the story, which is a powerful force for social cohesion and integration.
And also mothers are not only caregivers; they are also breadwinners for their families. They are one
who we aspire to be when we grow up. The mother-child relationship can be seen in the story as vital
for the healthy development of their children. Guidance and proper parenting was also practiced by
the mother in molding and shaping her child's future and boosting her child's ability and strength that
can be adopted when her child have her own family.

3.    Supposing that you are a parent or will be a parent, what kind of a parent do you think you will
be? Do you think there are times in your life where you take your mother for granted?

I think I will be an adaptable parent. I will try various parenting approach depending on what
the situation warrants and what can put the best interest of my children forward. I will be relaxed
enough so they are free to explore and learn on their own, but also strict enough so I can guide them
well. No, never in my life that I will take my mother for granted. Instead I salute my mom and I wanna
cherish every moment that we have because I know that life is too short so we need to take good care
of them. In addition, we should be thankful for all their hardwork and sacrifices. We should value all
their efforts because it's not easy to raise a child. So while it's still early, I wanted to show to her how
much I love her because I dont want to realize how important my mom is, when she's gone.
