ACTIVITY 1

1. Who is the persona in the poem? Describe him/her.

I think the persona talking is a man who is on the last day of his vacation in the beach.

I think this are the clue lines in the poem. “in front of my bamboo cottage” makes me think that he is
in the beach which

Is supported by words like sea grasses and reef flats. But since

This is a poem, more likely that it is not as literal as it could be, and the readers are free to interpret
how they see this

Poem. This could also be a persona of someone who always pass

By the Central Park Station and encounters different people who does not even look back.

2. One example of sensory imagery in the poem is the parrotfish. What do you think is the
significance of the

Image to the overall message?

I think the significance of the parrotfish and how the author bumped into it on his way out is kind of
like symbolizing

How we can bump into different people everyday on our way

Out. And just like how the persona in the poem helped the parrotfish go back to where he belongs –
to the sea – and sadly

Left with no words of thanks at all. This is like how some people

In our life just pass by, some we help on their way and some just forget how to even say thanks
before leaving their own

Way. This poem is such a great poem we can always learn a

Thing or two, but I think all poems differ on the reader. This is how I see the poem.

3. What are other examples of sensory imagery used in the text?

Sense of smell- after the faint scent of sea grasses awakened me,

4. What is the poem saying about the significant human experience?

Everyone in life has their own troubles and difficulties. People pass by the station and do not look
back. This

Signifies everyone’s life and how we do not have to indulge in

Other individuals’ problems.

 5. What feelings do you get after reading the poem?

I feel so happy, because I saved the life of the parrotfish by returning to its habitat.

 It happened when I was in grade 8, my family wasn’t really Financially stable at the time, and I
know my parent’s couldn’t provide for our wants because they were more focused on what
the family needed and I understand that. My school does not allow us to wear school
uniforms on Fridays because that is our P.E day, and we are required to wear our P. E uniform
 so I asked my parents for a white t-shirt and told them it was requirement, so they bought me
one. Then I really took care of that shirt because it was supposed to last a year; I always made
sure the colir didn’t fade and I always washed it right after I used it; I wanted to make sure it
lasted a long time. One day, I was abiut to iron my shirt and had prepared the ironing
boardand pre heated the iron, but when I went to get my shirt from our closet, I noticed it
wasn’t there anymore, J throughly searched our house, thingking I had just misplaced it, but
it was nowhere to be found. And right at that moment my older sister and my mother arrived
from school and I noticed the shirt that my sister was holding and my hunch was right it wad
my shirt but when I checked on it there’s already a prinr on it, her name and a number at the
back and the futsal word that was printed in front, I asked my sister it was my first shirt and
she said she needed one that’s why she took my shirt.

ASSESSMENT

I. Directions: Define the following parts of plot in your own words. (2 pts. Each)
1. Exposition –

►is the insertion of background information within a story or narrative. This information can be

About the setting, characters’ backstories, prior plot events, historical context, etc.

2. Conflict –

►Is an inevitable and unavoidable part of our everyday professional and personal lives.

3. Ending –

►the protagonist and antagonist have solved their problems and either the protagonist or antagonist

Wins the conflict. The conflict officially ends. Some stories show what happens to the characters after

The conflict ends and/or they show what happens to the characters in the future.

4. Climax –

►The climax is the turning point or highest point of the story. The protagonist makes the single big

Decision that defines not only the outcome of the story, but also who they are as a person. And the

Climax as the third of the five dramatic phases which occupies the middle of the story.

5. Falling Action –

►For me, the falling action phase consists of events that lead to the ending. Character’s actions

Resolve the problem. In the beginning of this phase, the antagonist often has the upper hand. The

Protagonist has never been further from accomplishing their goal. The outcome depends on which

Side the protagonist has put themselves on.

II. Directions: Answer the question below briefly and concisely. (10 pts.)
1. It was stated in the lesson that “a good plot will define a good character.” What does
this statement

Mean? What is the role of plot in a writer’s description of a character’s appearance, action, speech,
and

Thoughts?

A good plot will define a good character because plot will help the readers to
Understand how

Does the character will his/her development in a story. The role of plot help the logical

Arrangement of events in the story will give the character proper motivation. Through

This, the

Reader will understand why a character behaves in such way.

ACTIVITY 3

 One of the most picturesque places in the Philippines is Camarines Norte. I urge everyone to
visit here, my favorite location, to admire its magnificent masterpieces. Even though
Camarines Norte, which is a part of the Bicol Region, is among the most remote destinations
to visit, it is worthwhile due to its sustainable environment and ongoing creative growth. Even
though it is one of the most populated places on earth, Camarines Norte is one of the most
visited places in the nation. Despite this, the locals maintain proper environmental care, the
area is safe, and the population is environmentally conscious. Its uniqueness and cleanliness
developed like lovely butterflies.
