Competency: EN7LT-I-b-2.2: Explain how the elements specific to a genre contribute to the theme of a particular literary selection
Directions: Read the given paragraph and answer the questions that follow.

Alan had very few responsibilities, but one of them was to clean his room. It did not take long, but Alan still didn't like doing it. One
day Alan thought of a way to save some time. Rather than putting everything neatly back in its place, he decided to just throw all the
stuff on the floor into his closet. His mom would think that he had cleaned his room, and it would only take a fraction of the time.
Alan was pleased with himself for thinking of this brilliant idea. He figured that this would save a lot of time and energy. The next
time his room got messy, he piled everything up in the closet and the pile grew. It grew and grew. Then Alan's friend Steve called.
"Alan, everyone is playing baseball at the park. Do you want to play too?" Alan loved baseball. "That sounds great, Steve. I'll be right
there." Alan went to grab his baseball mitt when he realized that it wasn't in its usual place. Alan thought to himself, I guess it's in the
closet. When he opened up the closet door, he was faced with a huge, unnavigable mess, some of which poured out as he opened the
door. Alan began digging through the pile in a frantic attempt to find his mitt. He dug and dug, and as he dug his room got messier and
messier. Soon his room was the messiest that it had ever been, and he still hadn't found his mitt. Alan sighed in despair. By the time he
found his mitt, the boys had long concluded their game and Alan had hours of cleaning ahead of him before he'd be allowed to leave.

1. A long, long time ago, Mindanao was covered with water, and the sea cover all the lowlands so that nothing could be seen
but the mountains jutting from it. There were many people living in the country and all the highlands were dotted with villages and
settlements. For many years the people prospered, living in peace and contentment. Suddenly there appeared in the land four horrible
monsters which, in short time has devoured every human being they could find. Kurita, a terrible creature with many limbs, lived
partly on the land and partly on sea, but its favorite haunt was the mountain where the rattan palm grew; and here it brought utter
destruction on every living thing.
2. The second monster, Tarabusaw, an ugly creature in the form of a man, lived on Mt. Matutum, and far and wide from that
place he devoured the people, laying waste the land. The third, an enormous bird called Pah, was so large that, when on the wing, it
covered the sun and brought darkness to the earth. Its egg was as large as a house. Mt. Bita was its haunt; and there the only people
who escaped its voracity were those who hid in the mountain caves. The fourth monster was also a dreadful bird, having seven heads
and the power to see in all directions at the same time. Mt. Gurayan was its home and like the others, it wrought havoc to its region.
3. So great was the death and destruction caused by these terrible creatures that at length, the news spread even to the most
distant lands - and all nations grieved to hear the sad fate of Mindanao. Now far across the sea, in the land of the golden sunset, was a
city so great that to look at its many people would injure the eyes of men. When tidings of these great disasters reached this distant
city, the heart of King Indarapatra was filled with compassion, and he called his brother, Sulayman, and begged hem to save the land
of Mindanao from the monsters.
4. Sulayman listened to the story and as heard it, was moved with pity. "I will go", zeal and enthusiasm adding to his
strength, "and the land shall be avenged," said he. King Indarapatra, proud of his brother's courage, gave him a ring and a sword as he
wished him success and safety. Then he placed a young sapling by his window and said to Sulayman "By this tree I shall know your
fate from the hour you depart from here, for if you live, it will live; but if you die, it will die also." So Sulayman departed for
Mindanao, and he neither waded nor used a boat, but went through the air and landed on the mountain where the rattan grew. There he
stood on the summit and gazed about on all sides. He looked on the land and the villages, but he could see no living thing. And he was
very sorrowful and cried out: "Alas, how pitiful and dreadful is this devastation."
5. Then the people all came out of their hiding places and returned to their homes where they lived in peace and happiness.
And the sea withdrew from the land and gave the lowlands to the people. No sooner had Sulayman uttered those words than the whole
mountain began to move and then shook. Suddenly out of the ground came the horrible creature Kurita. It sprung at the man and sank
its claws at his flesh. But, Sulayman knowing at once that this was the scourge of the land, drew his sword and cut Kurita to pieces. At
Indarapatra's request, the old woman led him to one such cave. There he met the headmen with his family and some people. They all
gathered about the stranger, asking many questions, for this was the first time they had heard about the death of the monsters. When
they found out what Indarapatra had done for them, the headman gave his daughter to him in marriage, and she proved to be beautiful
girl whom Indarapatra had seen at the mouth of the cave.
