The Litera of Life

          "The most important thing in the world is family and  love." said by American basketball player John Wooden. Family indeed is the most important thing you could have in this world, they are the ones who you spent most of your years in life, they are the last person who could hate you but still they would be the very first person to show love and care to you. My family through the years is undeniably changing, my family keeps growing at the same time there is someone who was left behind in the past.

His childhood life brought him to a nostalgic feeling where he made friends to Lito and Gina Garcia. The friendship he was able to build with Gina little did he knew the start of his growing feelings towards her, the discovery of his young love.             The plot of the story follows the conventional plot where it is used in most of writings for a short story. The elements of a plot can be easily identified as I read the story.  The crisis arise when occurrence of the death of Jacobo’s father. During that time, the town was taken...

          “Nito huli ko lang napagtantong sa bawat dilig at kalinga’t pagmamahal na inialay naming sa kanila, kami pala ang siyang lubos na dinidilig at kinakalinga’t minamahal nila nuong una pa lang. At ganu’n nga ang gulayan naming --- isang metapora ng mutualismong ugnayan ng tao’t kalikasan.” A line from Christopher S. Rosales’ award-winning of Carlos Palanca Award in Kabataan Essay 2010 “Gulayan Klasrum.” Vegetables are one of our sources of energy, they are the healthiest choice of food we could eat. From this, we could say that they are the ones who show love and care for us human. Not only on what we eat, they also provide us fresh air to breath, nice place to stay under it. If they take care of us, we should also start of giving back on what they gave to us so that in return they could still provide it to us. We should start to have our own garden where we could plant different vegetables, to eat or grow an ornamental plant to use it as a decoration in...

                 'We do not just live by what we eat, we live by God's words and teachings.' This verse in the bible reminds me of myself how should I live in this world, my body is not the only one should be fed, but my soul also. The bible is one of the literary works that wrote by a famous writer and that is God. In a more broader concept, understanding the meaning and purpose of literature in our lives will gives us the life, the lessons of life.          In my 17 years of existence in this world I have never  felt being this worthless, the feeling of being alive but dead inside is the same finding myself in the state of oblivion.
