Cummings.
B. Establishing a Purpose Being able to analyze literature as a means of connecting to the world is important such that it is one way to enable ourselves to grow and thrive in life.
for the Lesson As they say, “Art imitates life,” therefore, whatever is in written art or literature is the same thing as in the real world. Hence, what we learn from

peace.

How to analyze the values in a text or any literary genre (works of literature).
You need to explore moral and social values expressed in literary texts.
1. Have a set of abstract nouns that represent values (e.g., honesty, bravery, loyalty).
2. Think of any person you know who represents one of these values like honesty, love, patience etc. You can find this also from any literary genre you
read.
3. Select from the list of values (positive and negative).
4. Classify the characters and events in the texts of your choice in terms of the values that they represent.
5. Note areas of agreement and disagreement and the reasons for these judgments. Some core values, virtues or character traits that should emerge
from the reading texts or in any literary pieces are loyalty, self-control, compassion, tolerance, firmness, respect, responsibility and so on.
6. You can also take note about negative traits such as selfishness, cruelty, lying, cheating, etc., as examples of character traits one should avoid.

Application or Remediation
A Heritage of Smallness
Nick Joaquin
Society for the Filipino is a small rowboat: the barangay. Geography for the Filipino is a small locality: the barrio. History for the Filipino is a small
vague saying: matanda pa kay mahoma; noong peacetime. Enterprise for the Filipino is a small stall: the sari-sari. Industry and production for the Filipino are
the small immediate scratching of each day: isang kahig, isang tuka. And commerce for the Filipino is the smallest degree of retail: the tingi.
What most astonishes foreigners in the Philippines is that this is a country, perhaps the only one in the world, where people buy and sell one stick of
cigarette, half a head of garlic, a dab of pomade, part of the contents of a can or bottle, one single egg, one single banana. To foreigners used to buying things
by the carton or the dozen or pound and in the large economy sizes, the exquisite transactions of Philippine tingis cannot but seem Lilliputian. So much effort
by so many for so little. Like all those children risking neck and limb in the traffic to sell one stick of cigarette at a time. Or those grown-up men hunting the
sidewalks all day to sell a puppy or a lantern or a pair of socks. The amount of effort they spend seems out of all proportion to the returns. Such folk are,
obviously, not enough. Laboriousness just can never be the equal of labor as skill, labor as audacity, labor as enterprise.
The Filipino who travels abroad gets to thinking that his is the hardest working country in the world. By six or seven in the morning we are already up on
our way to work, shops and markets are open; the wheels of industry are already agrind. Abroad, especially in the West, if you go out at seven in the morning
you’re in a dead-town. Everybody’s still in bed; everything’s still closed up. Activity doesn’t begin till nine or ten– and ceases promptly at five p.m. By six, the
business sections are dead towns again. The entire cities go to sleep on weekends. They have a shorter working day, a shorter working week. Yet they pile up
more mileage than we who work all day and all week.
