What This Module Is About

As you look around you, you perceive all forms of life that leads you to focus
on the real, the good, the bad, the right, the wrong, the ordinary, the usual, the
common. Yes, they satisfy you but there are times when they become less attractive.
You feel that you are following the same weary round, son flat, so dry, so worn. You
never arrive at anything different. You just go on rolling or drifting like a leaf. Then,
you realize the longing to soar up in the sky like an angel flying above the ground.
You feel the need to make a difference, to walk into another path and to enter another
place in life. You came to a point asking the question what if?

In this module, you will share thoughts and experiences with other people
about the realm of conditions to be different in some ways.

Direction: Read the excerpt of a narrative behavior. Write the letter of the words or
phrase that best completes the sentences.

Ernest P. Harnette, S.J. was the moderator of the school magazine. In
the first few months of my freshman year the English teacher turned In one of
my compositions, a short story, for publication. When the magazine came out,
the young Jesuit called me to the office, gave me six copies, congratulated me,
and encouraged me to write more. He kept talking about our magazine, as if
I were one of the editors. When I left I was walking on clouds. I turned in a
story every month for the next four years.

He was also the moderator of debating. Our speeches were school boy
speeches--- wild, apodietic, critical of all who went before us, filled with
sweeping generalizations, bristling with the glaring evidence of our ignorance,
of our youth. But in four years of debating I never heard Father Harnett say
one negative word. When he criticized a speech he would always point out the
good in it, praise what was well done. He would say: This is splendid! Lets
dwell a little more on this. We can afford to cut some of the other things, to
heighten this. And he would cut what was bad, to heighten the good.

We knew were only schoolboys, that our oratory was strictly amateur.
But we were grateful for the way he treated us. He never talked down.

If anything, he talked up! And the result was this: we didnt lose a
public debate in three years. For as long as he was the moderator, we never
lost.

AN EDITORIAL LOST IN NEWS ITEM
Louis Nizer


I almost skipped this item, I do not read reports of personal tragedies that are
printed in newspapers. They may attract the curious, but in a word tottering
toward another war, of what importance is a lovers death or a childs
disappearance? But a subheading held my eye: Posse Holds Hands. I began to
read.

It appeared that a young child had been lost in a thicket. The parents
frantically summoned friends to aid them in their search for the child. Twenty
hours had passed, and the child might die from exposure. The police joined the
search. Neighbors gathered and looked. Every bush was carefully examined, but
the child was not to be found. Precious hours passed. The parents and their army
of searchers grew more desperate.

Suddenly one old lady called out, Why dont we all hold hands in a huge
circle. Then well be sure we have covered every inch of ground. The suggestion
was adopted. The neighbors, friends, and police joined hands and moved forward
cautiously.

In less than an hour, the crumpled body of the child was discovered. It was
dead. The father cried out in out in anguish, O, God, why didnt we join hands
sooner!

I was stunned by the story. Here was the perfect aphorism for our troubled
international scene. This story belongs to the editorial page, I thought to myself.
And so I have written it here, as though the stricken father had uttered a cry on
behalf of all the people of the world. For it is not yet too late to save the next
generation of children.

To this lesson on cooperation I would like to add one on tolerance. There is an
Aesop fable of a woodsman who came into a forest to ask the trees to give him a
handle for his axe. It seemed so modest a request that the principal trees at once
agreed on it. They decided that a plain, homely ash, the least important among
them, should be sacrificed. No sooner had the woodsman fitted the staff into his
axe that he began laying about him on all sides, felling the noblest trees in the
wood. The oak, now understanding the whole matter too late, whispered to the
cedar, The first concession has lost all; if we had not sacrificed our humblest
neighbor, we might have stood for ages ourselves.


Activity 3
Read through the following statements and write A before each one which
agrees with the article you have read. Write N before each statement which does not
agree. Write ? before each statement which cannot be verified by the article.

___________ 1. Cooperation helps people to solve their problem.
13
___________ 2. The stricken father became very popular afterwards.
___________ 3. Tolerance needs sacrifice.
___________ 4. The story does not belong to the editorial page.
___________ 5. People need not postpone practicing cooperation.

Activity 4
Read the article again, and answer these questions as briefly as you can.
1. What news item attracted the writers eye?
2. Whats the articles focus of attention?
3. Why did the writer say, the story belongs to the editorial page?
4. What universal message does the tragedy express?

Key Points
If clauses or conditional clauses are used to show or to express possible results,
probability and improbability (imaginative).
When you express imaginative or counter factual condition or improbability, the
tense of both verbs in the if clause and the main clause is in the past.
When you express factual or possible results, the tense of the verbs in the if clause
is in the present and the verbs in the main clause can either be in the present or in
the future.
The following structures can be used to show statements of facts, possible future results,
and unlikely situations:
1. Facts
If present tense, present tense
(Condition Clause) (Result Clause)
Example: If you use a telescope. You can see the
2. Probable Results
If present tense, future tense
(Condition Clause) (Result Clause)
Example: If our government sets an example through good governance, it will
encourage us to participate actively in building our nation.
3. Improbability
If past tense, past tense
(Condition Clause) (Result Clause)
Example: If I were Pres. George Bush, I would listen to the clamor of the other
countries to advocate for peace rather than war.
Note that a comma is used if the condition clause comes before the result clause. But
a comma is not needed if the statement starts with the result clause.

If
Rudyard Kipling

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you
And make allowance for their doubting too;

If you can wait and not be tired of waiting,
Or being lied about, dont deal in lies;
Or being hated, dont give way to hating,
And yet dont look too good and talk too wise;
If you can talk with crowds and keep you virtue,
Or walk with kings nor lose the common touch;
If neither foes nor loving friend can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minutes.
With sixty seconds worth of distance run,
Yours is the earth and everything thats in it
Andwhich is moreyoull be a
Man, my son!

WHOLENESS OF LIFE

Read:
Mark 2:1-12

Son, your sins
Are forgiven you
I say to you, arise.
--- Mark 2:5,11


ocial worker Margaret Sangster told her collogues about seeing a young boy in
an urban ghetto who appeared little more than a bit of twisted human flesh. He
had been struck by a car several months before and had not received proper
medical attention.

Although not part of her caseload, she took the boy to an orthopedist, who
performed surgery on his legs. Two years later the boy walked into Sangters office
without crutches. His recovery was complete. The two embraced. Margaret Sangster
said to herself, If I accomplish nothing else in my life. I have made a real difference
with at least this one! Sangster paused. This was all several years ago now, she
continued. Where do you think that boy is today? They suggested that he might be a
school teacher, a physician, or a social worker. With deep emotion, Margaret Sangster
responded, No, hes in the penitentiary for one of the foulest crimes a human can
commit. Then she said, I was instrumental in teaching him how to walk again, but
there was no one to teach him where to walk.
