Big book

My Father Goes to Court

By: Carlos S. Bulosan

Author’s Background

Carlos S. Bulosan
Carlos Sampayan Bulosan (November
24, 1913 – September 11, 1956) was an
English-language American-Filipino (The students will read)
novelist and poet who spent most of his
life in the United States. His best-known
work today is the semi-autobiographical
America Is in the Heart, but he first
gained fame for his 1943 essay on The
Freedom from Want.

Plot Summary
There was this family who lived in
a small town in the island of Luzon. And
they had this neighbor who is a very rich
man who had a very tall and big house.
The rich man had his children who used
to come out from their house and looked
in the window watching the poor family’s
lifestyle. He also had his maids in his
house who constantly cook delicious
food for them. The poor family was fond
of the aroma of the food, so they usually
stood outside their house and savored
the smell of it.

One day, the rich man stared at

them horribly from the window and it
seemed that he was condemning the
poor family. He looked at the father and
his children who were both healthy.
Illogically, the poor man’s children were
so healthy even they did not experience
eating delicious foods while the rich
man’s children were pale and thin even,
they were so much consumed of
delicious foods.
As the days passed, the windows
of the were all closed. All the people can
hear is the sound of the wealthy family
coughing unstoppable and it made them
think that the sound was like the barking
of a herd of seals.
One morning a policeman from the
presidency came to the poor family’s
house with a sealed paper and it is
because the rich man complained that
they have been stealing the spirit of the
delicious food that belonged to the rich
family. So, the father went to the court.
The rich man’s lawyer had thrown him
some questions and he did respond to
them all.
The rich man did not stop
complaining and he even let his children
come into the court for proof. Until the
judge dismissed the case because the
father paid the rich man by his collected
coins, and he made them produced a Yes, Ma’am.
wonderful sound. It became fair, and they
ended up laughing because of the
nonsense case.

Did you understand the story?

The title of the story is “My Father Goes
to Court”
That’s good!

Now, let us try to discuss the story using

the following questions. To begin with

Again, what is the title of the story? It was written by Carlos S. Bulosan
Yes, James.

That’s correct!

Who wrote the story? The characters in the story are the rich
Yes, Enaj. man’s family, the poor man’s family, the
judge, lawyer, servants, and the
policeman.

You’re right!

Who are the characters in the story?

Yes, Josh.
The story revolves around two families,
the rich and the poor.
Very good!

What is the story all about? It was presented when the rich man filed
Yes, Jamie a complaint against the poor family.

Correct!

What is the conflict or the problem in the

story? The rich man allegedly accused the poor
 Yes, Akia. family of stealing the rich man’s spirit of
wealth and food. The accusation was
illogical but still the poor family with the
Very good! father arrived in the court.

Why the rich man filed a complaint

against the poor family?
Yes, Sherwin.

Very well said!

Now, let’s take a look in the given

sentences.
(The students will analyze)
“The arrived father.”
“He complaint a filed”
“The pointed lawyer his father at my
finger” Those sentences are not in correct order
or pattern.
Class, let us analyze the given
sentences.

What have you noticed in the given The correct order or pattern of the first
statements? sentence must be “The father arrived.”
Yes, El john.

“He filed a complaint.”

Good idea!
What do you think is the correct order or
pattern of these sentences?

Yes, Pia. “The lawyer pointed his finger at my

father.”

Very good!
How about the second sentence?
Yes, Jibrail.

That’s correct! Different sentence pattern.

And the last sentence must be in what
correct order?
Yes, Kirsten.

Excellent answer!

In relation to that, what do you think is

our lesson for today?
Yes, Chloe.

That’s right!
These sentences has different sentence
patterns. Are you familiar with sentence
patterns? Or all you’ve learned so far is Yes, Ma’am.
the subject and predicate?

For your information, we have 5 basic

 sentence patterns. (The students will read)

But for now we will only tackle about the S- IV pattern is the simplest sentence
3 basic sentence pattern which are S-IV, type. It includes a subject and an
S-TV-DO and S-TV-IO-DO intransitive verb.

Intransitive verbs are verbs that do not

Are we clear? have a direct object.
Let us know the first pattern which is
S-IV (Subject and Intransitive Verb)

What is the S-IV pattern?

When we say Direct object, it is a noun

or a pronoun that receives the action of
the verb.

In this case, if our verb does not have a Boy

direct object that receives the action of
the verb it is called Intransitive verb.
Prayed
Now, let’s take a look at the first
example.

e.g. “The boy prayed. “

S IV

I observed that after the verb prayed

there are no following words that can
answer the question what.
What is the subject in the sentence?

How about the intransitive verb?

(The student will read)

That’s correct!
We have boy as a subject and prayed as
our intransitive verb.

What do you observe after the

Peter is the subject and
intransitive verb prayed?
Sneezed is the intransitive verb.
Yes, Katelyn.

Because it doesn’t have direct object that

Let us read another example for

e.g. Peter sneezed.

 Very good!
It has the following word everyday

Another example for S-IV pattern,

e.g., “He prays every day.”

No, Ma’am.

What is subject and intransitive verb?

What do you observe in the next

example for S-IV pattern?
Yes, Ma’am.
That’s right! It has the following word
“everyday”

Now the question is, is the word Jane reads silently

“everyday” can answer the question S IV
what?
Jane is the subject and reads is the
intransitive verb.

Again, it cannot answer the question

Now, who wants to give example of S-IV

What is the subject and intransitive verb?

(The students will raise their hands and
write the example on the board.)

What do you notice in the following word “The judge laughed loudly.”
silently? S IV

Very good!
What is an intransitive verb again?

(The students will read)

How about direct object?
S-TV-DO pattern includes a subject, a
transitive verb, and a direct object.

Now, who wants to give another example

of S-IV sentence pattern from the story of
“My father goes to court”?

Direct object is a noun or a pronoun that

Very good class! receives the action of the verb.
Now that you know the first basic
 sentence pattern let us proceed to the
next one which is S-TV-DO.

What is S-TV-DO pattern?

Unlike intransitive verbs, transitive verbs

are verbs that have a direct object.

Because it has a direct object that

In this pattern, since we will use receives the action, and it answers the
transitive verb, it requires a direct object. question what.
Again, what is a direct object?

Let us take a look at the next example

from the activity we did earlier.

e.g. The girl wanted a laptop for her

S TV DO
birthday.

Now in this example we have the girl as

our subject, wanted as our transitive (The student will read)
verb, and laptop as direct object.

Why the verb wanted is a transitive verb?

Yes, Christian.

The subject is the gardener, the transitive

Very good! verb is waters, and the direct object is

e.g., Sarah took the test.

from the activity we did earlier.

e.g., The gardener waters the plant.

(The students will raise their hands, and

transitive verb and the direct object in the
sentence? “The servants cooked food.”
S TV DO
Yes, Ceus.

Excellent!

Why the verb waters is a transitive verb?

Very good class!

(The student will read)
Now, who wants to give another example S-TV-IO-DO sentence pattern includes a
of S-TV-DO sentence pattern from the subject, transitive verb, indirect object,

 and direct object.

It has indirect object.

Now that you know and understand the

first 2 basic sentence patterns which are
S-IV and S-TV-DO pattern, let us
proceed to the third basic sentence
pattern which is S-TV-IO-DO.
What is the S-TV-IO-DO pattern?
(The students will read)
An Indirect Object precedes the direct
object and tells whom or for whom the
action of the verb is done and who is
receiving the direct object.

What do you observe in this pattern?

Correct! (The student will answer)

What is an indirect object? The father gave the boy a

S TV IO
challenge.
DO

In this pattern, the indirect object

answers the question who or for whom.

Let’s take a look at the last example, I gave mom a watch.

Who wants to identify the sentence S TV IO DO
pattern of the first example?

Yes, Lhian.

e.g., The father gave the boy a

challenge.
Faith taught us the recipe.
S TV IO DO
Very good!

Another example, who wants to identify

the sentence pattern?
Yes, Christian.
(The students will raise their hands, and
e.g., I gave mom a watch. will give example)
“He accused the family of stealing.”
That’s correct
S TV IO DO
Last example,
Yes, Raisel.

e.g., Faith taught us the recipe.

Very good! Yes, Ma’am.

Now, who wants to give another example

of S-TV-IO-DO sentence pattern from the
story of “My Father Goes to Court”?
 Yes, Jewel. No, Ma’am.

Excellent Answer!
Give yourself a very good job clap!

Do you understand the S-TV-IO-DO

pattern?

Very good class!

Do you have any questions?

Excellent!
