Are you excited to read sample works of these literary artists? Don’t’ worry, in just a little while
you will be reading some of their famous literary pieces. Meanwhile, having known those

10 | P a g e
abovementioned authors, have you ever asked yourself the question below? Let us further be
enlightened.

What is the writer’s role in society?

What does the writer bring to the world that no one else can?
Writers and storytellers are the individuals who have designated themselves with the daunting
task of recreating the time, place, and characters of whatever era they live in. A novel written
during the 1990s, on the other hand, can definitively show the flavor of the time, the voices that
were most important, and the subconscious fears that drove that generation’s actions.
The different fiction genres each demonstrate a unique facet of the writer’s society. A horror
writer will memorialize the discomforts of his era. A science fiction writer will demonstrate that
era’s views on technology, change, and widespread social issues. A literary writer will display
what mundane everyday life was really like.
By writing a novel, the writer acts to keep their era alive for future generations, so that our
children and grandchildren can understand who we really were, and what we stood for.
However, there’s more to it than that. By nature, writers are teachers. Again, writers write
because they have something to say to the world. They have a lesson to teach, a lesson so
important to them—whether it be moral, intellectual, idealistic, or cynical—that they’ve sculpted
an entire story for the sheer purpose of teaching that lesson. - Nicolas Conley

Knowing the vital role of authors or writers in our society is as significant as understanding the
essence of their literary pieces. Do we benefit from it? How?

The Importance of Literature

 "By reading narratives, we can empathize and understand others," -Judith Caesar,
English professor at the American University of Sharjah (AUS).

 Literature is thought provoking; it allows us to raise questions and gives us a deeper

understanding of issues and situations."

 "Literature provides insight into the minds of other human beings, into the mind of the
author and the minds of the character he or she brings to life,"- Sophie Chamas,
international studies student at AUS.

 "Literature teaches us to analyze a character, allows us to reach inside his or her mind
so we see what drives a character, what shapes his or her beliefs and how one relates
to others."

11 | P a g e
  Literature also allows us to question some of our most prominent beliefs and examine
our lives, giving them deeper meaning.

Now that you have a better understanding as to why our authors and their literary texts play a
very significant role in our lives, let’s have a sample of a thought provoking fiction, an excerpt
from a selected novel piece written by Merlinda Bobis from the Bicol Region and find out the
author’s way to teach us a lesson about life through reading intensively and critically. Then,
answer the questions afterwards.

Lengua Para Diablo means “The Devil Ate My Words.” “Lengua is a Spanish word meaning
“tongue,” which in the story, symbolizes the words eaten by the devil. Lengua (Beef tongue) is
also a dish made of cow’s tongue. Lengua is often seasoned with onion and other spices, and
then placed in a pot to boil.
Have you eaten Lengua? Would you like to try it or eat it again? Why or why not?

LENGUA PARA DIABLO

[Excerpt from Banana Heart Summer, 2005]
by Merlinda Bobis

I suspected that my father sold his tongue to the devil. He had little said in our house. Whenever
he felt like disagreeing with my mother, he murmured, ‘The devil ate my words.’ This meant he
forgot what he was about to say and other was often appeased. There was more need for
appeasement after he lost his job.

The devil ate his words, the devil ate his capacity for words, the devil ate his tongue. "but
perhaps only after prior negotiation with its owner, what with other always complaining, ‘I’m
already taking a peek at hell’ when it got too hot and stuffy in our tiny house. She seemed to
sweat more that summer, and miserably.

She made it sound like Father’s fault, so he cajoled her with kisses and promises of an electric
fan, bigger windows, a bigger house, but she pushed him away, saying,

12 | P a g e
‘Get off me, I’m hot, ay, this hellish life’ 'gain he was ready to pledge relief, but something in my
mother’s eyes made him mutter only the usual ‘The devil ate my words,’ before he shut his
mouth. Then he ran to the tap to get her more water.

Lengua para Diablo, tongue for the devil. Surely he sold his tongue in the devil (change for
those promises to my mother) comfort, a full stomach, life without our wretched want . . . But the
devil never delivered his side of the bargain. The devil was alien to want. He lived in a Spanish
house and owned several stores in the city. This Spanish mestizo was my father’s employer,
but only for a very short while. He sacked him and our neighbour Tiyo Anding, also a mason,
after he found a cheaper hand for the extension of his house.

We never knew the devil’s name. Father was incapable of speaking it, more so after he came
home and sat in the darkest corner of the house, and stared at his hands. It took him two days
of silent staring before he told my mother about his fate.

I wondered how the devil ate my father’s tongue. Perhaps he cooked it in mushroom sauce, in
that special Spanish way that they do ox tongue. First, it was scrupulously cleaned, rubbed with
salt and vinegar, blanched in boiling water, then scraped of its white coating ---- now, imagine
words scraped off the tongue, and even taste, our capacity for pleasure. In all those two days of
silent staring, father hardly ate. He said he had lost his taste for food, he was not hungry. Junior
and Nilo were more than happy to demolish his share of gruel with fish sauce.

Now after the thorough clean, the tongue was pricked with a fork to allow the flavours of all the
spices and condiments to penetrate the flesh. Then it was browned in olive oil. How I wished we
could prick my father’s tongue back to speech and even hunger, but of course we couldn’t,
because it had disappeared. It had been served on the devil’s platter with garlic, onion,
tomatoes, bay leaf, clove, peppercorns, soy sauce, even sherry, butter, and grated edam
cheese, with that aroma of something rich and foreign. His silent tongue was already luxuriating
in a multitude of essences, pampered into a piquant delight.

Perhaps, next he should sell his esophagus, then his stomach. I would if I had the chance to be
that pampered. To know for once what I would never taste. I would be soaked, steamed,
sautéed, basted, baked, boiled, fried and feted with only the perfect seasonings. I would
become an epicure. On a rich man’s plate, I would be initiated to flavours of only the finest
quality. In his stomach, I would be inducted to secrets. I would be ‘the inside girl’, and I could tell
you the true nature of sated affluence.

Ganito nga pala

Abdon M. Balde, Jr. (2004)

Ganito nga pala

kapag tuma nda na;
paggising sa umaga,
natutuwa at buhay pa;
ngunit sa unang kilos
ay parang nakagapos;
pagbangon sa higaan
ang mga buto’y naglalagutukan;
Pag -ihi sa kubeta
ay kailangang umupo pa,
dahil pag nakatayo
sa paa tumutulo.
Ang lugaw na agahan
ay abot nang p ananghalian.
Kahit itlog pag nilaga
ay hirap na sa pagngata.
Natitinik lagi sa isda
kahit sardinas na nga.
Ang malunggay na kinain
kung lumabas ay malunggay din.
Nakakainom pa rin sa totoo
pinakuluang pito -pito
Umiiwas sa ambon,

15 | P a g e
 sa lamig ng panahon; dahil pag sinipon
ay hindi na makabangon.
Pag napaupo nang bigla
ay tuloy napapatihaya.
Sa hagdan, kahit pababa
sa pagod ay lawit ang
dila. Kapag tumatawid sa
daan, tumitigil lahat ng
sasakyan.
Inaantok sa sinehan kahit ang
palabas ay bakbakan Pag
nakakita ng bulaklak ay ataol
ang hinahanap.
Sa kaarawan, pag may handa
wala nang panauhing
kababata; kaya lahat nang
dumadalo ay isa-isang
nagmamano.
Pagdating ng takipsilim
ang pag-asa’y dumidilim
na makasungkit pa rin
ng kahit na isang bituin.
Kung kalamigan ang gabi, ay
nangangarap pa rin ng katabi
habang yakap-yakap ang sarili.

with the task. Explain your answer in a short paragraph. Use a separate sheet of paper for your

The Windowless Shop (2002)

Gil L. Gregorio
As we drove way to the market place, a
great number of buyers and vendors
offered, counter-offered their
goods in a row: It was the site of a
windowless shop.
We were just curious spectators of a
scene where business was different, the

16 | P a g e
 air was decadent, morning breath to
demure.
Each choice was unscented more
than just a morass of flowers.
Unaware of its intricacies, the
shop was bounded by its limit
of life.
Tomorrow, begins a new day
again to see it beautifully.
The writer will write a melody
of a song remembered
awhile, then feel it through
the eyes in the heart of an
artist.
