A. LESSON PREVIEW/REVIEW
1) Introduction (2 mins)
The Philippine Literature in the start of 21st century is a life of mixed emotions, where the Filipinos themselves govern the
Philippines. In this module we are exposing you to the life here in the Philippines, the people’s plight which was really ruled
under the influence of Spanish culture. Of course even if you were not able to witness the people’s plight in the past, which
our lessons focused on Gender Inequalities during that time, but I am certainly confident that you are familiar with the poem
written by Daryll allegado –Prelude. With this situation, I want you to answer the questions below evaluating what you have
heard or learned the life and feelings of the people during this time. Before we further discuss this lesson, let’s answer the

Preludes
by Daryll Delgado
A man died singing. He had sung a total of three songs before he heaved his last breath and collapsed on a chair. It
happened at the Municipal Hall. The time was three in the afternoon. The sun was high. Heat seeped into people’s bones.
Tuba warmed their blood even more. Someone’s ninth death anniversary was being celebrated. Another man’s life in that
party ended. It ended on a high note.
At that very moment, Nenita, the wife, was at home, picking leaves for a medicinal brew.
Earlier that day, Nenita had been lying on the sofa, slipping in and out of an afternoon sleep she should not have
heeded, embracing Willy Revillame in her dreams. She had had no plans of taking a nap. She had just wanted to catch a
glimpse of Willy after she sent off her grandson for the city, just before she resumed her cooking.
At the sala, she opened the window to let some breeze in. But the air was so dry. Outside it was very quiet. Everyone
was at the Hall, to attend the ninth death anniversary of the juez. Most of them bore the judge a grudge, but they were all
there anyway, eager to see what kind of feast his children had prepared. The children had all come home from America and
Europe for this very important occasion in the dead man’s journey. Nenita herself did not mind the judge really, even if she
had always found him rather severe. It was the wife whom Nenita did not feel very comfortable with. There had been some
very persistent rumors involving the judge’s wife that Nenita did not care so much for.
As soon as Nenita was certain that her grandson had left, she positioned the electric fan in front of her, sat on the
sofa, and turned on the TV to catch the last segment on her favorite show. The next thing she knew, Willy Revillame was
pulling her into his arms, soothing her with words of condolences, before handing her some cash and offering his left cheek for
a kiss. There was a huge applause from the studio audience, even if they were all weeping with Willy, shaking their heads in
amazement.
Nenita forced herself out of the dream and the motion brought her entire body up and out of the sofa. She found
herself standing in the middle of the sala, face-to-face with a teary-eyed Willy. Her heart was beating wildly. Her armpits were
soaked in sweat. Her hair bun had come undone. She looked around guiltily, she thought she heard her husband swear at
her. She felt her husband’s presence in the living room with her, even if she knew he was at the death anniversary party. She
quickly turned off the TV and made her way to the kitchen.
She should not have taken that nap, Nenita berated herself. There was an urgent order for ten dozens of suman she
had to deliver the next day, for the judge’s daughters who were leaving right after the anniversary. There was already a pile of
3

pandan leaves on the kitchen table, waiting to be washed and warmed, for wrapping the sweet sticky rice rolls with.
She had spent all night until early morning boiling the sticky rice and mixing it with anise, caramel and coconut milk,
until her hands trembled and the veins swelled. By the time she was almost done, she had to prepare breakfast and brew a
special tea concoction for her grandson who had spent all night drinking. Her grandson had barely made it home – drunk as a
fish, crying out a woman’s name like a fool – early that morning.
Nenita then remembered that she also had to prepare the medicinal tea her husband needed to take with his dinner.
She had yet to complete the five different kinds of leaves, Ampalaya, Banaba, Bayabas, Dumero, Hierba Buena; the last one
she purchased from a man who only comes to town on Thursdays. She was getting ready to pick Ampalaya and Bayabas
leaves from her garden when she heard her husband’s voice again, his singing voice. She realized that the sound was coming
all the way from the Hall. The sound was very faint, but more than perceptible, and certainly unmistakable to her.
It was the only sound she could hear when she stepped out of the house and started picking the leaves. Everything
else around her was quiet and still. It seemed as though the entire town – the dogs, the frogs, and the birds included – had
gone silent for this very rare event: her husband singing again.
She had not heard her husband sing this way in a very long time, even since he became ill – when the sugar and
alcohol in his blood burned the sides of his heart, almost getting to the core of it. Since then, he would get out of breath when
he sang. And he also easily forgot the lyrics, especially to the Italian classics, and some of the Tagalog Kundiman he used to
be very well known for.
Nenita herself never understood all the fuss about her husband’s singing, and the fuss his brothers and sisters made
when he stopped singing. She could not even understand half of the songs he sang. They were mostly in Italian, Spanish, and
Tagalog. He rarely sang Bisaya songs, the ones she could understand, and actually liked, even if she herself could not carry a
tune to save her life. Thankfully, their grandson was there to indulge her husband in music talk. She was happier listening to
the two of them talked and sang, and strum guitar strings from the kitchen.
She used to feel slighted whenever her siblings-in-law recalled with such intense, exaggerated regret, the way their
brilliant brother squandered his money and his talent, and oh, all the wrong decisions he made along the way, including the
one that he could never say directly his decision to marry Nenita. They liked to remind their bother, themselves, and anyone
who cared to listen, of what their brother used to be, what he could have done, whom he could have married to. Nenita ceased
to mind this, and them, a long time ago she had forgiven all of them. They were all dead now, save for one brother who lived
in the city. She never stopped praying for their souls, but he was not very sorry that they died.
Nenita knew that her husband was happy the way he was. She never heard him complain. He had nothing to
complain about. She took him back every time his affairs with other women turned sour. She took care of him when he started
getting sick, when the part of his heart that was supposed to beat started merely murmuring and whistling. Thankfully, her
4

COR 011: 21ST Century Literature of the Philippines and the World
Module #15
friend, the herbalista, had just the right concoction for this ailment. Even the doctors were delighted with her husband’s
progress.
Nenita took her husband back again when, with the money her in-laws sent for his medication, he went away to be
with one of his women. People say her husband went to Manila with the judge’s widow. Nenita never confirmed this. Nenita
never asked. She just took her husband back, nursed him back to health again. After that, though, Nenita notices that he
spent more and more time alone, in the toilet. And when she asked if he needed help with anything, he would just mumble
incoherently. So she let him be.
She could have prepared him then that other brew her herbalista friend had suggested at the time, the one that would
make his balls shrink, give him hallucinations, make his blood boil until his vein popped. But she didn’t, of course.
She did buy and continued to keep the packet of dried purple leaves said to be from a rare vine found only in Mt.
Banahaw. She didn’t even know where Mt. Banahaw is, only that it was up there in the North. She did know that she would
never use the herbs, even if she wanted to keep, see, touch, and feel the soft lump of leaves in her palm, every now and then.
She derived some sense of security, a very calming sense of power, in knowing that she had that little packet hidden in one of
the kitchen drawers.
She listened more closely to her husband’s singing. She closed her eyes and trapped her breath in her throat, the
way she did when he listened to the beats and murmurs of her husband’s heart at night. Listening to the air that carried her
husband’s voice this way, she almost caught the sound of his labored breathing, and his heart’s irregular beating.
He was singing a popular Spanish song now, about kissing someone for the last time. Nenita remembered being told
by her husband that that was what it was about. Kiss me more, kiss me more, that was what the man wanted to tell the
woman he loved. Nenita found that she could enjoy this one; the song was recognizable. She laughed lightly as she found
herself swaying in slow, heavy movements, to the music of her husband’s voice.
She started imagining herself as a young woman, dancing with this beautiful, dark man who eventually became her
husband. And then she heard him choke, heave a breath before he sang: Perderte. Long pause. Perderte. Another pause.
Perderte. Despuese. And then there was applause, in which Nenita joined, still laughing at her silliness.
Nenita gathered the leaves and went back inside the house. Just as well, because it was starting to be very,
intolerably, hot outside. Certainly hot enough to boil an old man’s blood and pop his veins, she thought.

This is a story about Vince who is a Filipino and is currently living in Honolulu, Hawaii. He is observing the people around him
at the Honolulu International Airport. He seemed to have eyed at his “kababayan” or fellow Filipinos. Vince mentions the fact
that when Filipinos are going back to their families in the Philippines, they bring so many balikbayan boxes. These boxes are
filled with canned goods like SPAM and Libby’s Vienna sausage, designer jeans (new or hand-me-down), travel sized bottles of
shampoo, conditioner, and body lotion. But Vince also points out that these items inside the balikbayan boxes can be easily
purchased at Duty Free which is outside the airport. Vince also mentioned a story that was told by his older sister Jing, wherein
an engineer talked his roommate into checking him in as an excess baggage which was cheaper that a round-trip fare. But the
man died of hypothermia. Vince didn’t buy the story and said that there were too many loopholes. It was a “turban legend.” Jing
said that, “You’re missing the point, brother.” “It’s not the mechanics that matter.” “It’s about drama. The extremes a Filipino will
go to just to go back home for Christmas with his family.”
Millions of Filipinos have left the Philippines in order to look for greener pastures abroad. It is startling to discover
that the biggest segment of Asian-Americans in the United States is composed of Filipino-Americans. There are
also Filipinos going as far as the Middle East and Australia, working as health care providers, teachers,
entertainers, accountants, engineers, electricians, chefs, and domestic workers. This trend will continue on into
the future, unless there are better job opportunities here in the country. The reality has been called the Philippine
diaspora, and comes with societal consequences.

Read the excerpt “Turban Legend” by R. Zamora Linmark. Then, do the following activities.
Turban Legend
(An excerpt from Leche)
By the time Vince arrives at the Philippine Airlines departures terminal, it is already bustling with restless souls who, with their
balikbayan boxes, have transformed the terminal into a warehouse, as if they’re returning to the motherland on a cargo ship rather than
Asia’s first airline carrier. Comedians use these durable cardboard boxes as materials for their Filipino-flavored jokes. “How is the
balikbayan box like American Express to Filipinos? Because they never leave home without it.”
Everywhere Vince turns are boxes, boxes, and. more boxes. Boxes secured by electrical tape and ropes. Boxes with drawstring
covers made from canvas or tarp. Boxes lined up like a fortified wall behind check-in counters or convoying on squeaky conveyor belts
of x-ray machines. Boxes blocking the Mabuhay Express lane for first-and business-class passengers. Boxes stacked up on carts right
beside coach passengers standing in queues that are straight only at their starting points before branching out to form more-or converge
with other-lines, bottlenecking as they near the ticket counter.
Boxes that ought to be the Philippines’ exhibit at the next World’s Fai1, Vince tells himself as he navigates his cartload of Louis
Vuitton bags in and out of the maze. An exhibit that should take place none other than here, at the Honolulu International Airport, he
laughs, as he imagines an entire terminal buried in the Filipinos’ most popular-and preferred-pieces of luggage.
With a balikbayan box Filipinos can pack cans of Hormel corned beef, Libby’s Vienna sausage, Folgers, and SPAM; perfume
samples; new or hand-me-down designer jeans; travel-sized bottles of shampoo, conditioner, and body lotion gleaned from Las Vegas
hotels; and appliances marked with first-world labels that, as anyone who’s been to the Philippines knows, can easily be purchased at
Duty Free right outside the airport or from any of the crypt-like malls that are so gargantuan they’re a metropolis unto themselves.
Filipinos will even throw themselves into these boxes, as was the case of the overseas contract worker in Dubai. The man, an
engineer was so homesick that, unable to afford the ticket-most of his earnings went to cover his living expenses and the rest to his wife
and children-he talked his roommate, who was homebound for the holidays, into checking him in. He paid for the excess baggage fee,
which still came out cheaper than a round-trip airfare. En route to Manila, he died from hypothermia.
Vince, who had heard the story from his older sister Jing, didn’t buy it. There were too many loopholes, too many unanswered
questions, like wouldn’t an x-ray machine in the Middle East detect a Filipino man curled up inside a box? He simply dismissed it as a
“turban legend.”
“You’re missing the point brother,” Jing said. “It’s not the mechanics that matter. It’s about drama. The extremes a Filipino will
go to just to be back home for Christmas with his family.

2. Why do you think the boxes symbolize? Why do they seem to be more important than their contents?
I think it symbolizes as love for the family and friends. Balikbayan seems to be important than their contents because it means to the
Filipinos that you will always remember them even though you are very far from each other.
3. When the narrator notes the Filipino-ness of the balikbayan boxes, what does he feel toward his fellow Filipinos?
For me, I think the author feels proud towards his fellow Filipino. In this story he shows that we shouldn’t be ashamed of being a Filipino
Citizen because he elevated the good attitude of Filipino towards culture and family even in a small thing like remembering them through
balikbayan boxes.
5. What do you think is the real message behind the anecdote or the “turban legend”?
I think the real message of the anecdote is that Filipinos will always love their families by remembering them. Through that balikbayan
boxes, it can say that love will always prevails even though you are far away from each other.

1. Do you think that Filipinos who live or work abroad suffer from homesickness? Explain your answer.
In the Philippines there is a saying that, “Iba pa rin talaga kapag nasa sariling bansa.” And because of that, I think they suffer from
homesickness. In my experience, my Aunt who works in abroad is always saying that they misses us and she alwayswanted to go home.
Because she struggles to express her feelings because of the language barrier towards foreign people and most importantly, family is
always the best listener and adviser on when you have a problem.
2. The author luggage is Louis Vuitton. How does that help characterize the narrator?
Louis Vuitton is a Brand name of a Bagsthatcost or worth a half to one million pesos and because of that “Louis Vuitton” word, I think it
helps me to characterize the narrator as a wealthy man.
3. Do you think when the Filipinos are abroad, they are proud of being a Filipino? Why or why not?
I think that Filipinos who are in abroad are proud of being a Filipino. Because OFW or even Filipinos who migrated in a certain country,
they always apply the culture of the Filipino in other foreign people, like for example when they are raising a foreign child, they accept or
treat him as her own child or as part of a family by teaching him our culture like being courteous to the olds and may other things and
that’s only one reason why Filipinos should be proud of being a Filipino.
4. The title “Turban Legend” is a play on words to a phrase “urban legend”. What does “urban legend” mean? Why was it change to
“Turban Legend”?
In Meriam Webster Dictionary, Urban legend is a story about an unusual event or occurrence that many people believe is true but that is
not true. And I think it is change to turban legend because in my own opinion the anecdote is said to be true about Filipinos about
balikbayan boxes but because of story of Jing that has many loopholes or unexplained things it makes the anecdote unbelievable and
looks like an urban legend.

Japanese literature has been influenced heavily by the Chinese literature from the ancient period all the way to the Edo period
(1603-1868) which corresponds to the early modern Japanese literature. Japanese literary works also reveal elements of Indian
and later of Western elements but above all, they reveal a distinct style which has also greatly influenced both Eastern and
Western literatures. Japanese Literature can be divided into four periods: the ancient, classical, medieval and modern. Ancient

literature in Japan deals primarily with myths and legends. Tales like the creation of Japan, wherein the islands came from the
gemstones imbued in the swords of gods are very prominent during this period. The celebrated writers during this period are
Ono Yasumaro, Nihon Shoki, and Man‘yoshu which wrote based on real events in the country. The classical literature in Japan
occurred during the golden age, the Heian period. During this period, Murasaki Shikibu, one of the greatest Japanese writers,
wrote the seminal text, Tale of Genji. Tale of Genji, considered the world‘s first novel, is a very charming and accurate depiction
of the Japanese court during the Heian period under the reign of Empress Akiko. It clearly shows the women in Prince Genji‘s
life and it paints them in their refinements, talents in the arts, drawing, poetry and the beauties of nature. Other notable authors
from this period are Sei Shonagon and Konjaku Monogatarishu. History and literature were intertwined during the Medieval
period due to the influence of the civil wars and the emergence of the warrior class. Thus, war tales are very prominent during
this period. Stories like Tale of the Heike 133 deals with the conflict between two powerdul Japanese clans. Besides war stories
and tales, the popular form of Japanese poetry, the renga, saw its rise. Modern literature can be further divided into early
modern, which happened during the Edo period, and modern, which starts during the Meiji period, when Japan opened its doors
to the West. The early modern gave way to the rise of new genres like the Japanese drama, kabuki, the poetry form known for
its simplicity and subtlety, haiku, and the yomihon, a type of Japanese book which put little emphasis on illustration. The modern
period also marked the emergence of new styles of writing. Japanese writers started to romanticize and tried experimenting with
different genres and subject matters. The Second World War heavily affected Japanese literature but soon, the distinct Japanese
style of writing manage to regain its popularity. Some of the prominent modern Japanese writers are Yasunari Kawabata, Kobi
Abe, Takiji Kobayashi, and Haruki Murakami to mention a few.

The Boy Named Crow (an excerpt from Kafka on the Shore)
by Haruki Murakami
"So you're all set for money, then?" the boy named Crow asks in his typical sluggish voice. The kind of voice like when
you've just woken up and your mouth still feels heavy and dull. But he's just pretending. He's totally awake.
As always. I nod.
"How much?"
"Close to thirty-five hundred in cash, plus some money I can get from an ATM. I know it's not a lot, but it should be
enough. For the time being."
"Not bad," the boy named Crow says. "For the time being."

Crow smirks and looks around. "I imagine you've started by rifling drawers, am I right?"
I don't say anything. He knows whose money we're talking about, so there's no need for any long-winded interrogations.
He's just giving me a hard time. "No matter," Crow says. "You really need this money and you're going to get it--beg, borrow, or
steal. It's your father's money, so who cares, right? Get your hands on that much and you should be able to make it. For the
time being. But what's the plan after it's all gone? Money isn't like mushrooms in a forest--it doesn't just pop up on its own, you
know. You'll need to eat, a place to sleep. One day you're going to run out."
Crow shakes his head. "You know, you've got a lot to learn about the world. Listen--what kind of job could a fifteen-
year-old kid get in some far-off place he's never been to before? You haven't even finished junior high. Who do you think's going
to hire you?" I blush a little. It doesn't take much to make me blush.
"Forget it," he says. "You're just getting started and I shouldn't lay all this depressing stuff on you. You've already
decided what you're going to do, and all that's left is to set the wheels in motion. I mean, it's your life. Basically you gotta go with
what you think is right." That's right.
When all is said and done, it is my life. "I'll tell you one thing, though. You're going to have to get a lot tougher if you
want to make it." "I'm trying my best," I say. "I'm sure you are," Crow says. "These last few years you've gotten a whole lot
stronger. I've got to hand it to you." I nod again. "But let's face it--you're only fifteen,"
Crow goes on. "Your life's just begun and there's a ton of things out in the world you've never laid eyes on. Things you
5
FLM 1.0

Module #18
never could imagine." As always, we're sitting beside each other on the old sofa in my father's study. Crow loves the study and
all the little objects scattered around there. Now he's toying with a bee-shaped glass paperweight. If my father was at home,
you can bet Crow would never go anywhere near it. "But I have to get out of here," I tell him.
"No two ways around it." "Yeah, I guess you're right." He places the paperweight back on the table and links his hands
behind his head. "Not that running away's going to solve everything. I don't want to rain on your parade or anything, but I wouldn't
count on escaping this place if I were you. No matter how far you run. Distance might not solve anything." The boy named Crow
lets out a sigh, then rests a fingertip on each of his closed eyelids and speaks to me from the darkness within. "How about we
play our game?" he says. "All right," I say.
I close my eyes and quietly take a deep breath. "Okay, picture a terrible sandstorm," he says.
"Get everything else out of your head." I do what he says, get everything else out of my head. I forget who I am, even.
I'm a total blank. Then things start to surface. Things that--as we sit here on the old leather sofa in my father's study--both of us
can see. "Sometimes fate is like a small sandstorm that keeps changing directions," Crow says. Sometimes fate is like a small
sandstorm that keeps changing directions. You change direction but the sandstorm chases you. You turn again, but the storm
adjusts. Over and over you play this out, like some ominous dance with death just before dawn. Why? Because this storm isn't
something that blew in from far away, something that has nothing to do with you. This storm is you. Something inside of you.
So all you can do is give in to it, step right inside the storm, closing your eyes and plugging up your ears so the sand doesn't
get in, and walk through it, step by step. There's no sun there, no moon, no direction, no sense of time. Just fine white sand
swirling up into the sky like pulverized bones. That's the kind of sandstorm you need to imagine. And that's exactly what I do. I
imagine a white funnel stretching up vertically like a thick rope. My eyes are closed tight, hands cupped over my ears, so those
fine grains of sand can't blow inside me. The sandstorm draws steadily closer.
I can feel the air pressing on my skin. It really is going to swallow me up. The boy called Crow softly rests a hand on
my shoulder, and with that the storm vanishes. "From now on--no matter what--you've got to be the world's toughest fifteenyear-
old. That's the only way you're going to survive. And in order to do that, you've got to figure out what it means to be tough. You
following me?" I keep my eyes closed and don't reply. I just want to sink off into sleep like this, his hand on my shoulder. I hear
the faint flutter of wings. "You're going to be the world's toughest fifteen-year-old," Crow whispers as I try to fall asleep. Like he
was carving the words in a deep blue tattoo on my heart. And you really will have to make it through that violent, metaphysical,
symbolic storm. No matter how metaphysical or symbolic it might be, make no mistake about it: it will cut through flesh like a
6

Module #18
thousand razor blades. People will bleed there, and you will bleed too. Hot, red blood. You'll catch that blood in your hands, your
own blood and the blood of others.
And once the storm is over you won't remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won't
even be sure, in fact, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm you won't be
the same person who walked in. That's what this storm's all about.
On my fifteenth birthday I'll run away from home, journey to a far-off town, and live in a corner of a small library. It'd
take a week to go into the whole thing, all the details. So I'll just give the main point. On my fifteenth birthday I'll run away from
home, journey to a far-off town, and live in a corner of a small library.
It sounds a little like a fairy tale. But it's no fairy tale, believe me. No matter what sort of spin you put on it.

The history and catalogue of the European literature is so rich that it is quite close to impossible to describe it and give justice
to its entire list of great works and even greater writers in an introduction. However, to give learners a little background
information, European literature refers to the literature in many languages; among the most important of the modern written
works are those in English, Spanish, French, Dutch, Polish, German, Italian, Modern Greek, Czech, Russian, Bosnian and works
by the Scandinavians and Irish.
Important classical and medieval traditions are those in Latin, Ancient Greek, Old Norse, Medieval French and the Italian Tuscan
dialect of the renaissance are also part of its collection. The Medieval Period (500-1500) of European literature already saw
masterful works like Beowulf, The Song of Roland, The Nibelungenlied, and seminal work of Geoffrey Chaucer, The Canterbury
Tales. The mentioned works of art was followed by even more popular titles, because during the Renaissance Period, writers
like Edmun Spencer (The Faerie Queen), John Milton (Paradise Lost), and William Shakespeare (Romeo and Juliet; Macbeth)
took the level of its literary standard into a whole new high.

Following the Medieval Period was the Age of Enlightenment (1700- 1800) and at its center was a celebration of ideas – ideas
about what the human mind was capable of, and what could be achieved through deliberate action and scientific methodology.
Many of the new, enlightened ideas were political in nature. Writers like Voltaire and Jean-Jacques Rousseau were the
torchbearers of Enlightenment literature and philosophy. Rousseau was a strong advocate for social reform of all kinds. His
most important work, however, was Émile, a massively influential piece of non-fiction that argues for extensive and liberal
education as the means for creating good citizens. Rousseau‘s work on behalf of social empowerment and democracy would
remain influential long after his passing.
Espousing similar political positions, Voltaire employed dry wit and sarcasm to entertain his readers while making convincing
arguments for reform. No other period in English literature displays more variety in style, theme, and content than the Romantic
Movement (1798-1870) of the 181 eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Romanticism is concerned with the masses and not
with the middle class, the individual more than with society. The individual consciousness and individual imagination are
especially fascinating for the Romantics. With writers like Mary Shelley and her masterpiece, Frankenstein and Lord Byron‘s
Don Juan, the focus of literature shifted from the scientific to the mysterious. Then came the Victorian Period. The name given
to the period is borrowed from the royal matriarch of England, Queen Victoria, who sat on throne from 1837 to 1901.
The Victorian writers exhibited some well-established habits from previous eras, while at the same time pushing arts and letters
in new and interesting directions. Victorian novelists and poets like Charlotte and Emily Bronte, Lord Tennyson, Robert
Browning, Gustave Flaubert, George Eliot, Fyodor Dostoyevsky, and Thomas Hardy wrote with simplicity, truth and tempered
emotion. Realism (1820-1920), the next period in European literature, is precisely what it sounds like. It is attention to detail,
and an effort to replicate the true nature of reality in a way that novelists had never attempted. There is the belief that the novel‘s
function is simply to report what happens, without comment or judgment. Seemingly inconsequential elements gain the attention
of the novel functioning in the realist mode.
Famous writers during this period were Franz Kafka, William Butler Yeats, T. S. Eliot, and Vicente Biasco Ibanez, among others.
Naturalism (1870-1920) sought to go further and be more explanatory than Realism by identifying the underlying causes for a
person‘s actions or beliefs. In Naturalism, the environment played a large part in the narrative structure. The locale shapes the
personalities of the characters without them even realizing it. Emile Zola, one of the most influential writers in this period of
literature, provided inspiration and model in writing during this period. Crime and Punishment is a profound example of how
some of the principles of existentialist (1850-Today), the next literary period. Dostoyevsky‘sstory shows that thinking can be
perverted, leading to ethical decay and personal destruction.
Another writer, Franz Kafka,has also been 182 associated with twentieth century existentialism. But the name most related to
existential literature is Albert Camus. The characters in his work are caught in situations that are way out of their control and
getting out of the situation is almost futile. The influence given by these authors are still reflected in this generation if you read
the works of Chuck Palahniuk, Stanley Kubrick, and David Lynch. The Modernist Period (1910-1965) in Literature presented a
new way of living and seeing the world. Writers are now free to try new concepts in writing like the use of the unreliable narrator,
among others. Modernism was set in motion, in one sense, through a series of cultural shocks where the poets who took fullest

advantage of the new spirit of the times, and stretched the possibilities of their craft to lengths not previously imagined. All these
period in literature influenced and led to what is now seen in the works of 21st century European writers.

Mr. Dursley, a well-off Englishman, notices strange happenings on his way to work one day. That night, Albus Dumbledore, the
head of a wizardry academy called Hogwarts, meets Professor McGonagall, who also teaches at Hogwarts, and a giant named Hagrid
outside the Dursley home.
Dumbledore tells McGonagall that someone named Voldemort has killed a Mr. and Mrs. Potter and tried unsuccessfully to kill
their baby son, Harry. Dumbledore leaves Harry with an explanatory note in a basket in front of the Dursley home. Ten years later, the
Dursley household is dominated by the Dursleys‘ son, Dudley, who torments and bullies Harry. Dudley is spoiled, while Harry is forced
to sleep in a cupboard under the stairs. At the zoo on Dudley‘s birthday, the glass in front of a boa constrictor exhibit disappears,
frightening everyone. Harry is later punished for this incident.
Mysterious letters begin arriving for Harry. They worry Mr. Dursley, who tries to keep them from Harry, but the letters keep
arriving through every crack in the house. Finally, he flees with his family to a secluded island shack on the eve of Harry‘s eleventh
birthday. At midnight, they hear a large bang on the door and Hagrid enters. Hagrid hands Harry an admissions letter to the Hogwarts
School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Harry learns that the Dursleys have tried to deny Harry‘s wizardry all these years.
The next day, Hagrid takes Harry to London to shop for school supplies. First they go to the wizard bank, Gringotts, where Harry
learns that his parents have left him a hefty supply of money. They shop on the wizards‘commercial street known as Diagon Alley, where

Harry is fitted for his school uniform. Harry buys books, ingredients for potions, and, finally, a magic wand—the companion wand to the
evil Voldemort‘s.
A month later, Harry goes to the train station and catches his train to Hogwarts on track nine and three quarters. On the train,
Harry befriends other first-year students like Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, a Muggle girl chosen to attend Hogwarts. At school,
the first-years take turns putting on the ―Sorting Hat‖ to find out in which residential house they will live. Harry fears being assigned to
the sinister Slytherin house, but he, Ron, and Hermione end up in the noble Gryffindor house.
As the school year gets underway, Harry discovers that his Potions professor, Snape, does not like him. Hagrid reassures Harry
that Snape has no reason to dislike him. During their first flying lesson on broomsticks, the students are told to stay grounded while the
teacher takes an injured boy named Neville to the hospital. Draco Malfoy, a Slytherin bully, snatches Neville‘s prized toy and flies off with
it to the top of a tree. Harry flies after him. Malfoy throws the ball in the air, and Harry speeds downward, making a spectacular catch.
Professor McGonagall witnesses this incident. Instead of punishing Harry, she recommends that he play Quidditch, a much-loved game
that resembles soccer played on broomsticks, for Gryffindor. Later that day, Malfoy challenges Harry to a wizard‘s duel at midnight.
Malfoy doesn‘t show up at the appointed place, and Harry almost gets in trouble. While trying to hide, he accidentally discovers a fierce
three-headed dog guarding a trapdoor in the forbidden third-floor corridor.
On Halloween, a troll is found in the building. The students are all escorted back to their dormitories, but Harry and Ron sneak
off to find Hermione, who is alone and unaware of the troll. Unwittingly, they lock the troll in the girls‘ bathroom along with Hermione.
Together, they defeat the troll. Hermione tells a lie to protect Harry and Ron from being punished. During Harry‘s first Quidditch match,
his broom jerks out of control. Hermione notices Snape staring at Harry and muttering a curse. She concludes that he is jinxing Harry‘s
broom, and she sets Snape‘s clothes on fire. Harry regains control of the broom and makes a spectacular play to win the Quidditch
match.
For Christmas, Harry receives his father‘s invisibility cloak, and he explores the school, unseen, late at night. He discovers the
Mirror of Erised, which displays the deepest desire of whoever looks in it. Harry looks in it and sees his parents alive. After Christmas,
Harry, Ron, and Hermione begin to unravel the mysterious connection between a break-in at Gringotts and the three-headed guard dog.
They learn that the dog is guarding the Sorcerer‘s Stone, which is capable of providing eternal life and unlimited wealth to its owner and
belongs to Nicolas Flamel, Dumbledore‘s old partner.
A few weeks later, Hagrid wins a dragon egg in a poker game. Because it is illegal to own dragons, Harry, Ron, and Hermione
contact Ron‘s older brother, who studies dragons. They arrange to get rid of the dragon but get caught. Harry, Ron, and Hermione are
severely punished, and Gryffindor is docked 150 points. Furthermore, part of their punishment is to go into the enchanted forest with
Hagrid to find out who has been killing unicorns recently. In the forest, Harry comes upon a hooded man drinking unicorn blood. The man
tries to attack Harry, but Harry is rescued by a friendly centaur who tells him that his assailant was Voldemort. Harry also learns that it is
Voldemort who has been trying to steal the Sorcerer‘s Stone.
Harry decides that he must find the stone before Voldemort does. He, Ron, and Hermione sneak off that night to the forbidden

third-floor corridor. They get past the guard dog and perform many impressive feats as they get closer and closer to the stone. Harry
ultimately finds himself face to face with Quirrell, who announces that Harry must die. Knowing that Harry desires to find the stone,
Quirrell puts Harry in front of the Mirror of Erised and makes him state what he sees. Harry sees himself with the stone in his pocket, and
at that same moment he actually feels it in his pocket. But he tells Quirrell that he sees something else. A voice tells Quirrell that the boy
is lying and requests to speak to Harry face to face. Quirrell removes his turban and reveals Voldemort‘s face on the back of his head.
Voldemort, who is inhabiting Quirrell‘s body, instructs Quirrell to kill Harry, but Quirrell is burned by contact with the boy. A struggle
ensues and Harry passes out. When Harry regains consciousness, he is in the hospital with Dumbledore. Dumbledore explains that he
saved Harry from Quirrell just in time. He adds that he and Flamel have decided to destroy the stone. Harry heads down to the end-of-
year banquet, where Slytherin is celebrating its seventh consecutive win of the house championship cup. Dumbledore gets up and awards
many last-minute points to Gryffindor for the feats of Harry and his friends, winning the house cup for Gryffindor. Harry returns to London
to spend the summer with the Dursleys.

The development of African literature, from its oral tradition up to the current trends, reflects the history of its people, the
continents feelings and the minds of its population. Having been denied sharing their unique culture to the rest of the world,
African literature takes pride in their identify as a people along with their rich heritage. The Dark Continent enjoys a vast collection
of masterpieces, both in oral and written literature, which are highly diverse and at the same time common. The writings on
black Africa started in the middle ages when Arabic was introduced to them and then it moved forward in the 1800s with the
coming of the alphabet. With the birth of the Negritude (which literally means “blackness”) movement in 1934, African writers
committed to look into their own culture, traditions, and values that can be applied in the modern world. The drive of writers to

write and excite political freedom grew and the dignity of African traditions has been asserted. The Negritude movement opened
the avenue for writers to celebrate what is truly African.
The persona and the addressee – the persona refers to the one speaking in the line of the poem. The addressee is the
receiver or the one being talked to by the persona.
Tone, Attitude, Motifs, and Conditions – mainly suggested by the words used by the writer. The prevailing emotion of
the persona towards the addressee can be discerned and elucidated by looking into the choice of words of the writer.
Imagery and Symbolisms – a poem appeals to the senses, thus, words may also be effective tools to create connections
between the poem and its readers making them see, hear, taste, smell, and feel whatever the poem presents.
Genre – know how to classify the poetic work based on its prevailing features.
The theme – involves the significant truth or the central idea that the writer attempts to disclose and to communicate to
its readers.
Appeal – this pertains to your impressions about the poem. It includes your personal judgements and evaluation with
regard to the aesthetic quality, intellectual and emotional value of the poem.

Africa, my Africa
Africa of proud warriors in ancestral savannahs
Africa of whom my grandmother sings
On the banks of the distant river
I have never known you
But your blood flows in my veins
Your beautiful black blood that irrigates the fields
The blood of your sweat
The sweat of your work
The work of your slavery
Africa, tell me Africa
Is this you, this back that is bent
This back that breaks
Under the weight of humiliation
This back trembling with red scars
And saying yes to the whip under the midday sun
But a grave voice answers me
Impetuous child that tree, young and strong
That tree over there
Splendidly alone amidst white and faded flowers
That is your Africa springing up anew
Springing up patiently, obstinately
Whose fruit bit by bit acquires
The bitter taste of liberty.

B.MAIN LESSON
1) Activity 2: Content Notes (13 mins)
Read the texts below and highlight important keywords.
Multimedia is a computer-based technology that integrates text, graphics, animation, audio and video. It is rapidly
gaining in popularity as an instructional medium in the education sector. Its role in the language arts curriculum has, until very
recently - until the ready availability of commercial products - been limited to experimental prototypes. Now, with applications
being marketed by large publishing houses, use of multimedia materials for literature in public schools has become feasible. We
will argue that in response-based contexts, it is also desirable with a number of caveats, chief among which is the role in which
the technology is cast in the classroom. In its potentially supportive role in the literature classroom, the technology can be seen
as complementing and enhancing the following phases for developing literary understandings as outlined by Langer (in press)
As a presentation system, multimedia can provide a tool for easing entry to a literary work. This can be accomplished
when software provides access to supporting visual/aural information, thought-provoking images and key information. The
teacher alone or with the help of her students can tailor and utilize such materials in consort with the front-end, discussion-based
2
FLM 1.0
COR 011: 21ST Century Literature of the Philippines and the World
Module #21
Multimedia can serve to shape the social context in which literary works can be explored/experienced with others.
Students and their teacher have a central source of images, sounds and text that can stimulate and facilitate the sharing of
responses. The technology can be used as a springboard and around which roles and discourse can be shaped. In other words,
multimedia can play the role of catalyst thereby stimulating interaction and an ambiance conducive to collaboration and sharing
experiences.
Through multimedia students can be encouraged to build meaning and develop understandings. Given aural and visual
tools with which to explore, expand, clarify, and modify their understandings, the technology can be cast in the role of support
system for students as they develop and share their interpretations.
Multimedia can also potentially assist students in considering multiple perspectives; that is, students can see and
experience the responses of others to the same text. Varying interpretations can be accessed via video, audio, graphics and
text. As such the medium has the potential to invite exploration of multiple perspectives.
Again, students can be permitted and encouraged to connect what they read and discuss with their own experiences.
They can use multimedia tools to construct as many linkages as they can support and defend.
With a good play or film, it is in the lobby or three days later that we encounter aspects of the work and reconfigure
initial meanings into thoughtful, deeper understanding. Like plays or films and even non-fiction life events, experience with a
literary text is similar. There is the initial reading during which visions and complex webs of empathies are construed and lived
through. One is immersed and, as such, engaged in a fictional world uncritically. It is some time after the initial immersion
experience that we can enjoy stepping back and examining in a less holistic and more analytical way the nature of that
experience and the craft that evoked it. Engaging in this examination process alone is historically the norm: sharing the
experience with others - as in response-based literature teaching practice - can only widen and deepen one's own.
Multimedia technology can serve response-based practices as a vehicle that facilitates and makes more powerful the
sharing of experiences and understandings gained through them. The medium can , for example, supply tools and large stores
of information that can be used when students cooperatively construct meanings around the texts they are reading.
Multimedia can supply students with a magnifying glass (among other tools) with which to examine literary works and,
with the aid of multiple forms of on-line assistance, can help students make sense of a writer's artistic crafting of a piece via
access to a wealth of available craft commentary.
Stocktaking
To 'leave doors open' once a piece of literature has been read and discussed, multimedia can serve as a place to
return to in order to continue to probe and make sense of a work. As such it can provide the kind of independent reexamination
that promotes independent as well as socially constructed envisionment building.
Traditional instructional approaches to literature teaching rely heavily on the teacher to open doors to what is perceived
as some singular, hidden meaning residing in the literary text. Teachers in turn rely on texts and on students' own capacity to
enter texts, to become initiates. Response-based practice reverses this process: response-based practice relies on the students
to build meaning. Multimedia represents a tool with which these meanings can be discovered and developed. It is potentially a
means of access to a text's multiple dimensions through which students, with their teacher, with peers and independently, can
enter and where meaning can be built rather than delivered. The technology has the potential to serve as an environment for
exploring one's own interpretations, constructing one's own meanings and negotiating and/or defending these with peers.
Because it offers student-centered experiences, it can encourage constructive discourse and empower independent, critical
thinking.
In theory, then, the technology can be viewed as a desirable complement to the response-based classroom when cast
in the role of catalyst and tool. Access to supporting media in tandem with the availability of powerful tools render the medium
an object to think with, to talk around and through, rather than an object from which sanctioned knowledge emanates. This
project set out to determine what combinations of multimedia design features best constitute response-based tools of this kind
and whether such features were characteristic of commercially produced language arts software for literature. Such features, or
what we call desiderata, are discussed first in the context of applications reviews and subsequently within an idealized context
of response-based practice.
There are many definitions of multimedia -- some of us can remember when multimedia meant using a slide-tape
program, where a beep signified the display of the next 35mm slide (others might remember flannel boards or 8-track tapes, but
we won't go there)! For this class, we will define multimedia as the integration of text, graphics, animation, sound, and/or
video.
Using this very broad definition of multimedia, multimedia in the classroom could include Power Point presentations
that are created by the teacher, commercial software (such as multimedia encyclopedias) that is used for reference or instruction,
or activities that directly engage the students in using multimedia to construct and convey knowledge. For the purposes of this
course, we will focus on the final category -- engaging students in the use of multimedia to construct and convey
knowledge. Examples of multimedia, then, could include:
2. Students using a spread sheet or graphing calculator to record data and produce charts
5. Students scanning their hands and importing the images into PowerPoint for a presentation about fingerprints.

- concerned with the masses and not with the middle class, the individual more than with
society
- The individual consciousness and individual imagination are became fascinating
- the focus of literature shifted from the scientific to the mysterious (writers like Mary Shelley
and her masterpiece, Frankenstein and Lord Byron‘s Don Juan made it possible)

judgment
- Famous writers during this period were Franz Kafka, William Butler Yeats, T. S. Eliot, and Vicente
Biasco Ibanez
Naturalism (1870-1920)
- sought to go further and be more explanatory than Realism by identifying the underlying causes
for a person‘s actions or beliefs
- the environment played a large part in the narrative structure.
- locale shapes the personalities of the characters without them even realizing it

and model in writing during this period
Existentialist (1850-Today)
