2+ose arcia -illa was a poet, a literary critic and a short story writer. 1e was also a painter. 1e was known because of his stylr in writing poetry which has the use of commas after each words. (oo much for that let!s move on, on one of his known literary piece 2)ootnote to *outh4.
2It is the basic story of marrying at a very young age and %uestioning the wisdom of making life choices at our young age which we must lived with.4
2On your own understanding what do you mean, what do you think )ootnote to youth is84
2(hank you7 (he story 2)ootnote to youth4 is an eye opener to us who were classi5ed as youth. =owadays, we can!t deny the fact that there are so many teenagers that were getting pregnant accidentally or unintentionally.
2Okay, bring out you 1omeworks.

2 )or me, is when a short story colorless worm march blindly to dodong!s foot and crawled damnily over it4
2odong got tickled and jerked his foot ?inging the worm into the air. 1e was not bothered. )or me it only means that dodong did not think about his future. 1e follow what he feels and not conscious about the conse%uences he might face.4
21is father was sad and afraid on what maybe the result of what he is planning. It is maybe because his father already experienced it4 2Okay on the 5rst part of the story, what can you say about his father!s reaction when he asks permission to marry teang84 2It made him feel guilty because he already reali$ed that he was not yet ready for paternity. It was too early4

2id she regret having married84
2Okay, so can you please read this passage84
2*es, she even remembered his past suitor and thought what if she married him instead.4
2One night as he lay beside his wife, he rose and went out of the house. 1e stood in the moonlight, tired and %uerulous. 1e wanted to ask %uestions and somebody to answer him. 1e wanted to be wise about many things. One of them was why life did not ful5ll all of *outh!s dreams.
2It means someone who ask or who want to ask many %uestions, or wants to whine.4
2*ou encountered the world 2%uerulous4, by using context clues, what do you think us the meaning of the word 2%uerulous4.
2=o, if I would be odong, I would blame myself, not love. I would blame myself because I can!t control my temptations and I don!t think about what will happen in the future about what I will do.4
2-ery ood7 (hat was correct, now on the last sentence, odong stated a %uestion saying, why one was forsaken for love, now if you were odong, and would you say the same thing8
24(hat was an excellent answer. "ut did odong came up to an answer8 /et!s see. an you please read the next text, 's. 6666668
youth. *outh must be dreamfully sweet. reamfully sweet. odong returned to the house humiliated by himself. 1e had wanted to know a little wisdom but was denied it.4
2It should be like a dream, wherein you can do whatever you want, being free4
2&o odong can!t 5nd the answer, he said that youth should be dreamfully sweet.
2One night, while odong was sleeping, he hears footsteps. 1e then woke up to see who it is. It was "las, he watched "las undress and sleep %uietly, "las was nervous and yet silent. odong asked why he would not sleep. (hen "las called his Itay &oftly, saying he will marry (ona his girlfriend;. odong can!t say a thing4 2
2Okay for the last text, can you please read it for us, 'r. 66666684
21e is shocked about his &on!s ecision, maybe he is also remembering himself.4
2odong lay silent. 2I /ove (onaB and I want her4 odong rose from his mat and told "las to follow him. (hay descended to the yard, where everything was stilla dn %uiet. (he moonlight was cold and white. 2*ou want to marry (ona,4 odong said. 1e did not want "lass to marry yet. "las was very young. (he life that would follow marriage wold be hardB 2*es4 2'ust you marry84
2&top, thank you. an you please continue 's. 666666684
2&o in the end, odong let "las marry (ona although he really did not want "las to get marry yet. "ut in his thoughts, *outh should prevail, and *outh should be 2reamfully &weet4 2=ow what do you think is the moral lesson of the story84
"las -oice stilled with resentment. 2I will marry (ona.4 odong kept silent, hurt. 2*ou have objections itay84 "las asked cridly. 2&onB nCnoneB4 "ut truly, od I don!t want "lass to marry yetB not yet. I don!t want "lass to marry yetB; "ut he was helpless. 1e could not do anything. *outh must triumphB now. /ove must triumphB now AfterwardsB it will be life. As long ago *outh and /ove did triumph for odongB and the /ife odong looked wistfully at his young son in the moonlight. 1e felt extremely sad and sorry for him.
2I think the moral lesson of the story is to always think 5rst about what you will do and what will it!s conse%uences be. And also, always listen to your parent!s advice4
