    Bonsai by Edith Tiempo

    A.

    Why did you choose this text?

    We chose this poem because we think the vagueness of the poem results to
    various interpretations which is very interesting
    B.
    What are the three most striking points about the text you would like to
    focus on? Why?
    1. We would like to focus on the authors use of words. Although the
    poem is short, the poem is very vivid and is able to form pictures.
    2. The authors usage of objects that represents love. Some of these
    objects may seem worthless to other people but to others it is very
    important.
    3. The title of the poem and how it relates to the meaning of the
    poem.
    C.
    Which literary element/s of the text do you want to highlight in your
    report? What critical approach will you use primarily for your interpretation?
    Why?
    We would like to highlight the element of imagery and symbolism used in the
    poem. The critical approach that we will be using is the structuralist approach
    because when all the words of the poem are analyzed a clearer meaning about
    the poem would be formed.
    D. What are some sample (meaning, you can have more) questions you will
    be asking the class during the discussion?
    1. What do you think was the poem about?
    2. Ask them the question, What plants do you relate to love. (To start
    the discussion about why the title of the poem is Bonsai.
    3. Do you think that the poem is relevant in todays generation/time?
    4. Which part of the poem did you like the most? Why?
    5. Why did the author use a lot of objects to define love? (to lead the
    discussion on what is the poem trying to say.)

    E.
    What are some activities you plan to have in the class to make the
    discussion more interesting?
    1. Ask them the question, What objects do you have that you relate to
    love?
    2. Hugot session to relate to the topic love.
    3.
    F.
    How can you say this text is relevant to you now? Why should it be
    interesting for your peers?
    It is relevant because the poem is about love and all of us have
    experienced this emotion. The poem talks about the different representations and
    meanings a person can attach to love. We think that discussion will be interesting
    because during this generation, topics about love seems to generate a strong response.
