Activity no. 1: READ AND CRITIQUE? (refer to pg. 2-3)

In this topic, we will now know and read the summary of The Story of Keesh, a story written by Jack London and you will do the activity
that follow.

This is a story written by American novelist, journalist, and social activist John Griffith London or also known as Jack London.

The Story of Keesh is about a man who "exercised headcraft and not witchcraft, and rose from the meanest IGLOO to be head man of his
village." London's story was published in 1907.

The Story of Keesh

By Jack London

--A Summary--

Keesh is the son of a well-known and respected huntsman in his tribe, who died when Keesh was young. The exploits of his
father were long forgotten after that.

As Keesh turned 13, brimming with confidence and due to the rare amount of food gathered by the tribe, he addressed to the
village elders and said that he will become a great hunter like his father.

Everyone mocked him and allowed him to go off on his own. They did not expect to hear from him again. However, he returned
four days after, carrying a huge amount of freshly killed meat.

He said that the polar bear’s carcass laid a day’s travel from the village. Everyone was shocked of his success. However, several
hunts after, everyone became skeptical of Keesh, saying that he studied witchcraft but they have no choice but to be loyal.

The villagers constructed an igloo bigger than the chief’s for Keesh, which he appreciated. After several hunts, they decided to
have two scouts observe Keesh.

Several days later, they returned with the carcass of a polar bear. The scouts told the tale the tribal council couldn’t believe. They
gathered in Keesh’s igloo and accused him of witchcraft.

Keesh, however, explained the reason he was able to kill the bear. Keesh ordered the scouts to enrage the bear and follow him.
He then left small balls of food on the ice, which the bear ate. The bear then became ill and deranged, which enables Keesh to spear the
animal without harming himself.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now that you’re done reading the summary of the story, it’s time to interpret it using the four literary theories discussed in lesson 4 found
in your learning module page 2-3. By answering the guide questions under each literary theory, you easily have a clear understanding of
the different view of story using different approaches. Write your answers in a paragraph form.

Formalism

The words used truly symbolizes the events going through the story. There are terms that relate to the meaning which makes the
story be easily understood as the reader progresses. This provides the reader a lot of ideas that can reveal the text’s meaning. though
the text did not use any figures of speech, there were still phrases applied that can place emphasis on what is being said.

Feminism
 Marxism

Reader’s Response

The author has a unique way of writing that compliments the overall tone of the story. The character show dedication, to find what
their people need in order to survive. The story shows a moral tone, similar to what you might encounter in fables that can be found
around the world.

Process Questions

1. What did you learn from the story?

I learned that it is important to not assume things about someone and make sure to respect them understand their side more.

2. What is your favorite line or scene in the story and why?

My favorite scene was when Keesh left the small balls of food for the bear to eat and eventually make it ill and deranged.

3. How do we value respect as Filipinos? How do we show respect as young adults?

Respect is needed everywhere because it is a way to show that we love and someone, and as young adults we should show this by
treating others like how we want to be treated.

4. How should we, as Christians, work together in unity? Why do we to consider Christ as the head and we as the body parts? What
IFL is Christ trying to teach us about being one body with the Father?
As Christians, a way to work in unity is by teaching and showing each other what God wants for us.

A Tribute Speech to Parents

Today, I am thankful to be given a chance to speak about the people that truly has a great influence in my life,
my parents. To me, they have all the traits there is to a perfect parent. They never hesitate to give me what I
need in order to succeed. Back when I used to stay at the dormitory, I would be worried about them having to
travel far just to get me whatever is necessary for school; I would be sad about the amount of money they have
to spend for fare. But despite all of the worries I have, I learned to trust them and rely on them when needed.
They taught me to never worry about expenses because it is their job as parents to provide for me. They are the
very reason that I have stopped thinking negatively about what I am capable of as a student. They always listen
whenever I have something troubling me, and they try to understand more of my situation in order to assist me.
Now, my parents still have not changed. They still care for me the same way ever since I came to this world,
and I am forever thankful to them for that. There were times as a child I have neglected their guidance, and my
mother would always be the one to discipline me. I still remember the time when I was in the second grade, I

ENGLISH 10 • AJ SAYSON • JHS |PAGE 4

decided to visit my friend’s house after school without their consent, I came home very late and my mother was
not there, soon I found out that she was looking all over for me at school. My mother had to discipline me
because she was very worried. My father would always be the last to talk to me after my mom, he makes sure to
comfort me when I cry whenever I get disciplined. Unlike my mother, Dad has always been soft when
disciplining me. But even if there were times I made trouble, they made sure to discipline me without dragging
me to despair. Raising me, they made sure to never expose me to children who yell and throw tantrums, they
didn’t let other people tease me so that I may not grow up to be aggressive and angry. My parents have and will
always be the most important people in my life, I am blessed to have parents who are also role models. They
have given me every bit of their time to show support and love. Their hard work and dedication have always
given me the motivation and it is enough to have me move forward.
