the text and it is performed before an audience 17 The given genres with their elements and structures are further discussed in detail below:A. Poetry
Poetry is one of the earliest genres of literature. It was either recited or sang victories, tell about the love story of their rulers, or describe someone who inspires them. In order to understand or even write a good poem, you must know the elements of poetry:1. Rhyme it is the identical rhyme if the last words or sounds match each other.
alliteration : followed, flats, front bother, back assonance: big, slipper picked, slimy2. Meter it is also called the rhythm in poetry. It is the pattern of beats ( foot)
(stressed and unstressed syllables in a line). It is also called foot.There are four basic rhythms in poetry:
2.1 Iamb -unstressed / stressed (buh BUH )
buh BUH/ buh BUHToday, / we live /
2.2. Trochee- stressed / unstressed (BUH buh)
BUH buh BUH buh BUH buh
2.3. Anapest- unstressed / unstressed / stressed. ( buh buh BUH )
buh buh BUH buh buh BUH If I cry/ If I leave/2.4. Dactyl- stressed / unstressed / unstressed (BUH buh buh )
BUH buh buh / BUH buh buh / BUH buh buh Carnage is / horrible / heritage3. Imagery and Symbolism
The beauty of poetry is on the carefully chosen words that rhyme and the lines and stanzas with uniform rhythm. Poetry must also employ figurative language to creatively express emotions, feeling and ideas. Here are the commonly used literary devices in poetry:Metaphor
Direct comparison of two
unlike things.Ex. He is a strong lion.
Simile
Two unlike things compared to
Ex. He is strong like a lion.
Onomatopoeia
Words that imitate a sound
Ex. The gushing of wind
and gnashing of teethAlliteration
The repetition of the
same initial sound of the words.Ex. Be brave, be
boundlessBeauty is a bouquet of
blue bbreathAssonance
The resemblance of a sound in
words or syllable.Ex. Who knows how hollows
snore.Repetition
A word, a phrase, or a
sentence repeated to emphasize its importance in the entire text.Ex. Not yet Rizal,
Not yet 18Synedoche
A part is made to
represent the whole or vice-versaEx. Hundred heads of
cattle bought at a good price.Personification
Giving human attributes to an
object or animalEx. The wind spoke of hope
and redemption.Hyperbole
It exaggerates the meaning
of a sentence.Ex. I am so thirsty that I
could drink an ocean.Symbols
It is the use of symbols to convey ideas. A symbol represents various ideas or things at one time. Like darkness or color black may symbolize death, uncertainty, failure, or an end. A white rose may mean purity, freshness, new beginning, or death.Example : The cold wind blew my heartaches away
(the cold wind can mean inspiring words, new ideas, new hope)The warm sunshine filled my emptiness with joy .
(the warm sunshine can mean a person whom the author loves, or an event that made him be filled with joy) To appreciate and write a good poem, it is also essential to know its structure. Poems are written in lines that comprise a stanza. Thus, each type of poem differs from each other because of its structure.Couplet - 2 lines
Tercet - 3 lines
Quatrain - 4 lines
Cinquain - 5 lines
Sestet - 6 lines
Septet - 7 lines
Octave - 8 lines
On the next page is a sample of a free-verse poem which the author used symbols and imagery to convey his thoughts and feeling. 19Moonset at Central Park Station of St. Paul
Subterranean River National Park
John Iremil E. Teodoro
This morning, after the faint scent
of sea grasses awakened me,I followed
the setting moon in the reefs flats in front of my bamboo cottage.I nearly stepped on
a parrotfish that was caught by the low tide.It was as big
as my slipper.I picked
its slimy body and returned it to the sea.In its excitement
it forgot to thank me to look back it swam quickly away from meIt dived
towards the direction of the horizon where the moon was hiding.Perhaps in my next visit
that parrotfish will surprise me with a greeting.It shall brag to me
about its scales painted by the setting moon.*[Teodoro, J. I. ](2016). Moonset at Central Park Station of St. Paul Subterranean River National Park. In N.

It has no rhythm but it uses alliteration, assonance, repetition, and symbolism. alliteration : followed, flats, front bother, back dived, direction horizon, hiding perhaps, parrotfish assonance: big, slipper picked, slimy body, forgot, to symbols: moon - dreams to be fulfilled, fulfilled dreams, inspiration horizon - a place to find or to keep your dreams, a place which promises good fortune or good life parrotfish - a gay/ LGBTQ member because of its color - an ungrateful person - someone passive - someone who has a very colourful life - an experienced person - words/ lines used repeatedly: - sea, moon, parrotfishB. Fiction:
imagination. It has various sub-genres like mystery, fantasy, suspense, historical fiction science fiction, realistic fiction and folklore (myths, fables, legends).

The Legend of Lake Sebu
Once there was a beautiful. yet mysterious princess, who came to the land of the Tbolis. She was loved by the locals.However, she met a mythical frog whom she
angered. To avenge himself, the frog opened a big lotus flower that gushed water and flooded the entire land. the heavens. He threw leaves and pythons that became land mass so that his sister can pass through. From that day on, the village was covered with water. The eleven islets became the home of the locals. *Narrated by Moreno, M. E., Legend of Lake Sebu, June 20, 2020 Activity 2: ote (Noting Details by Employing the Elements of Fiction) Directions: Answer the following questions briefly:1.

_________________________________________________________________ (plot) Fiction uses the basic elements of a story, namely; the plot, setting, characters, and conflict , to convey its ideas. 22Fiction follows the to create an interesting and detailed narrative. Below is an illustration of the story pyramid which consists also the parts of a plot. climax rising action falling action
exposition denouement
The following are the elements of short story according to Freytag:1. Exposition tells about the background of the story. The information can be about
orical contexts.2. Rising action is the part of the story after the characters and setting are
introduced and events in the story begin to reveal probable conflicts that the protagonist must resolve. It also involves events that lead to the climax of the story.3. Climax is the highest point of tension in the story. It is usually the most
interesting part.4. Falling action is the part of a story after the climax and before the very end.
5. The denouement is the final outcome of the story and it is where other secrets
are revealed, if there is any. The setting includes the time or period and place where the event happened. The characters are the persons/ animals/ or any inanimate object that functions as the protagonist, antagonist and other minor entities that perform the actions, speak dialogue and moving the story along a plot line. Conflict creates tension in the story and it involves the struggle of between two opposing forces/ characters, usually the protagonist and the antagonist. Conflict can be internal and external. Internal conflict is a psychological conflict which arises when the character experiences two opposite emotions (like love and hate, patriotism and devotion) or aspirations ( like career and marriage, fame and peace of mind) which usually involves good and evil. External conflict is the struggle of a protagonist against outside forces that hamper his/ her progress and hinders him/her to achieve his/ her goal. 23C. Non- fiction: Memoir
Nonfiction is a literary genre that tells about stories that actually happen in real life. The sub genres of literary nonfiction are biography, memoir, autobiography, journals, diaries, periodicals and references. These works of literary nonfiction have character, setting, plot, conflict, figurative language, and theme just like literary fiction, fiction and thriller or suspense. To interpret fiction, we must analyze and interpret using the elements of fiction. The story below was a personal account of the author about his ordinary encounter with a Champorado vendor which made him realized how lucky he was.Another Universe
Kurt Joshua O. Comendador
He was about my age and about my size. He first approached us while we were eating at a cottage at a spring resort. Champorado moInit pa. Champorado. Chocolate porridge. Still hot. I declined. I watched him as he went on his way, selling champorado in a small pot to other resort- goers. He might have more customers if only he has better container than peddle an iron pot. I took a plunge into the cold.Everything was
familiar. Too familiar even: The laughter of the persons around me, the giant splash as a kid cannonballs into the water, the off-key singing from a karaoke booth, the jovial mood, and the calming effect as I float in the spring water. I always believe that cold waters cleanse the body and the mind from any own universe, as I like to describe it. Then there he was again, walking on top of the wall that separates the water into smaller pools. Champorado, Champorado. Init pa his hot champorado. champorado I asked my girlfriend. siopao 24From the water, I watched him as he peddled his pot. I noticed that it was not only small, it was also blackened by soot; he We kept swimming until twilight. The people began to thin down; but he kept on peddling his champorado. I let my girlfriend change her clothes first while I sat on a circular bench nearby. I noticed a guy, looking so miserable, sitting next to me. On his side, on the bench, was the small, sooty pot. He must be the champorado vendor. I figured. On his other hand was a slipper. I saw that the front strap broke. He remorsefully shook his head. I held back tears. I watched as he tried reattaching the broken strap. Unconsciously, I followed him with my eyes as he softly placed his slipper on the ground. He tried wearing it, but it immediately broke again. Then I noticed something- he was wearing two different footwear. On his left foot is a slide slipper, the one athletes commonly wear, while on the other foot, the one that broke, is a traditional flip-flops. I wanted to help him - maybe give him some money to buy a new pair of slippers. But money, I have none too plenty, I might need it on the way home. Give him my old pair of shoes? I can-footed. I might get caught by the traffic enforcers. I saw plenty of slippers repaired by sticking a wire through the rubber to hold it down. The least I can do is to help him fix his slipper, but the resort is too dark to find any wire that might be laying on the ground. I wanted to say something, but no words came out of my mouth. After a while, he went inside the changing room, carrying his pot on one hand, and his slipper on the other. He also had a backpack, I concluded that he might have carried his utensils there. I was left alone. Trapped in another universe. ways; he might also be the eldest, he might also have four siblings. He might also want to plunge into the cold, spring water. I liked to ask him questions: Where he lives, was the champorado sold out, what happened to his slippers and what he would do next. But the biggest question was for myself: would I do the same if circumstances dictate me so? out. I tried to take my mind off of him while I change into dry clothes. It bothered me why it took so long inside the changing room. Was he able to fix his slipper? I had no way of knowing. When I got out, out of the dusk, at a distance, I saw the vendor. He had backpack to be exact., there was a little light to see him clearly. He was sort of walking with a drag. I just hoped he gets home safe and sound. It was already dark when we were ready to leave. The frogs already began their chorus. To me, it sounded like a woeful dirge. I wanted to jump into the cold again- to wash my guilt away. *Comendador, K. J. (2018). Another Universe. Bagwis: The Paradigm has Shifted, p. 9. 25

THE STORY OF THE FIRST DURIAN
Barom-Mai was an old and ugly king who lived in a kingdom called Calinan in the Visayas hundreds of years ago. Although he was powerful, he was helpless when it came to winning the love of his young bride, Madayaw-Bayho (daughter ofTageb, king of the pirates).
Barom-
(the wisest of advisers) told him about Impit Purok, a hermit who lived in a cave inMt. Apo.
They went to the hermit and he asked for three things: the egg of the black tabon bird, twelve ladles of fresh milk from a white carabao without blemish, and the nectar from the flower of the tree-of-make-believe.The egg will be used to soft
and, the nectar, to make her see Barom-Mai as a young and handsome king. The king finds the egg through the help of Pawikan, the king of the sea turtles. He luckily gets milk from a white carabao the following breakfast, thanks to his cook. Hangin-Bai, the nymph of the air, leads him to her sister, the wood nymph who had the magic flower in her hair. Barom-Mai gives the three things to Impit Purok, who asked him to prepare a big feast after Barom-Mai wins his queen back, and to invite Impit Purok as the Impit Purok mixes the three ingredients and instructs Barom-Mai to plant the mixture in the royal garden. The morning after it was planted, a tree grew. It had a sweet smell and its fruit tasted good. When Madayaw-Bayho was given the fruit, she fell in love with Barom-Mai. The king throws a big feast but forgets to invite Impit Purok. In retaliation, Impit casts a curse upon the fruit: The sweet smell was replaced with a foul odor while the smooth skin of the fruit was covered with thorns, which is how the durian smells and looks today.
