    ACTIVITY 6: Comprehension Check 

    Answer the following questions: 


    1. How did our forebears transmit their literature? 
    2.
     With the development of language, the very earliest transmission of literature was through
    rock inscriptions and paintings using primitive dyes and pigments. Literature was also passed on
    through oral teaching from generation to generation. Later on, durable medium for inscription
    such as leaves, paper, etc. was discovered by our ancestors which made storage and
    transmission of literature easier.

    3. Is primitive literature still enjoyed by modern people like you? Why? 

    The primitive literature still enjoyed by the modern people like us because in literature the
    stories are there that can give us a moral of that story. Ever since I was small, stories have
    been apart of my life. Reading books like ‘The Tales of Peter Rabbit’ and ‘The Very Hungry
    Caterpillar’ before bed became a part of my natural order where I could escape into
    another world. To say the least, not much has changed and on most nights, I love to read -
    to find that escape away from reality.

    4. How did changes in history affect and influence the themes and forms of our literature?

    The changes in our history truly affects and influence the themes and forms of our literature. In
    some reasons the improvement and inventing of new words did affect. these new words are
    often or rather be, always heard in our surroundings.

    attractions and write a  TANAGA, or a Filipino traditional poem equivalent to Japanese poem
    ’haiku’ but has 4 lines with 7 syllables,  and with AABB rhyme scheme. 

    ACTIVITY 8: Text Reading 


    Read the story One Day on the Road by Temistokles M. Adlawan then answer the questions
    that follow. 

    Questions: 
    1. We follow the story through the point of view of Miguel, the elder tricycle driver. What do
    you think is the  significance and effect of telling the story in the present tense?

    change as it happens

    experience?

    against Sherwin. What  are the factors that compel Miguel to try to race?
