THE PRELUDE

BY: DARYLL DELGADO

 

                                 The story, PRELUDE, is written by Daryll Delgado. I find it interesting because the scenarios were inverted or reverse which you need to find out what goes first. The author of the story uses foreshadowing and flashbacks so that readers would be confused therefore it will encourage us to read the story.

                                 My first impression of this story is just normal or the usual feeling because I thought at first that this story is just another uninteresting story but when you try to read the whole story, you tend to think that there is a plot twist going on and a tragic ending. The story has a tragic ending because the wife murdered her husband silently by using the materials of the herbalist friend. At first, I’m really clueless but when I read it three times I figured out the real scenario and the plot twist of the story. I arranged the plot where I would really know what happened in the story where it uses techniques like foreshadowing and flashback.

                                Nenita’s husband cheated on her. Nenita’s husband always cheated on her yet she didn’t mind at first but when she was quick-tempered with her husband already, she immediately killed her husband quietly. Her husband chooses the decision to cheat his wife that is why the consequence of the husband had a tragic death.

                                  The message of the story is you should not cheat on each other, marriage is sacred because it is written in the divine law and you are committed with your desired partner where God is part of each other’s relationship. If you cheated your partner you could commit sin to your wife and to God and you will stay in hell for the rest of your eternal life. We should not do this because we already choose among the choices, it depends on how you would stay happy with a partner or not. In life you should be careful who the people go and come to your life because maybe they are the ones who could help you or maybe they are the ones who could hurt you and destroy your life.



PS.

In the poster above, I put some symbols. 

  • First one is that the unbalanced scale means injustice and gender inequality because the husband is taking advantage of Nenita by commanding her to do this and do that yet Nenita just follows orders even if her husband cheated on her a couple of times.
  • The second one is the skull, which represents poison and death.
  • And the last one is the shadow of a devil behind Nenita, because Nenita killed her husband.

The Witch Analysis “The Witch is  a  reflection  of  people's  predisposition  to  embrace  a  "herd  mentality,"  or  when  people  are  influenced  by  others  to  adopt  a  certain  way  of  thinking  or  acting  on  an  emotional  level . It also shows that people are so eager to find something wrong or mistakes on something or someone that is strange to their eyes . They made a lot of accusations to Minggay because she lives far away, they accused her that she is a witch, that whenever something strange happened they all blamed it to Minggay. A trial without witness, when it involves a criminal accusation, a criminal matter, is not a true trial . T hey judged so easily without knowing the person's real personality, they only based on what they heard without knowing the whole thing. You should only believe what others say when you a...

 LESSON 3  ACTIVITY 1.1 In this activity, I interviewed one of my seniors in Sacristan, whose name is Kyle Kagatan. I interviewed him through messenger, since he is in Iligan City at the moment. 1. Why does it seem acceptable in Philippine society for husbands to have affairs with other women? •It is not acceptable in the Philippine society for husbands to have affairs with other women, however, it has quite become a norm nowadays. Many people, especially those who are famous ones (e.g. celebrities) are involved into these kinds of affairs. Due to that fact, some people tend to engage this as they believe in the thought that “if a famous individual can, then so can I”. Also, because there are some men who think and believe that the more girls/women they have, the cooler they think they are and that they are above the others.  2.Is it acceptable for women? Why or why not? What do you think or feel about this? •No, of course not. If men are not, then so as the women. Social...

SALT ANALYSIS This poem is all about living our life to the fullest. Fullest in the sense that when we search for the meaning of life, we should never expect that all it gives is purely happiness and satisfaction. Not knowing that the opposite of happiness is sadness. Life can never be worth living without pains and sorrows. Happiness can never be felt without having experienced hardships and failures. It must be associated always with heartaches and disappointments, and if your life has already felt all these agonies in life that’s when you will feel the true meaning of life. Salt is itself an ingredient that makes one’s life meaningful and meaningless depending on how you  would actually make it happen. Sadness and loneliness may come your way , but if you will take them as challenges and opportunities then life would be as meaningful as it seems to be. And  life would be worth living for. In the picture above, I draw a human with a tear and a happy face toward it. I draw th...
