Literature from the
Philippines and the
World
Congratulations! You are now in Lesson 6 of this module. In this lesson, you’re
going to continue your exploration in the continent of Europe.
What I Know
Answer the following questions based on what you know about
poetry, its devices, and characteristics. Write only the letter of your
answer in your LITERATURE ACTIVITY NOTEBOOK.
What’s In
You’ve learned in Lesson 17 about the characteristics of magic realism
in literature. Let’s have a short review before we proceed to the last lesson of this
module. Write your answers in your LITERATURE ACTIVITY NOTEBOOK.
True or False. Write True on the space before each number if the statement is true
about magic realism; write False if it is not.
________1. In Magic Realist literature, the most fantastic, crazy things are told in a
very matter-of-fact way.
________2. Magic Realism is all about mixing things up: the fantastic with the
mundane, the ordinary with the extraordinary, dream life with waking
life, reality and unreality.
103
________3. Constructs of time follow typical Western conventions. For instance,
stories may be told in spiraling shapes rather than in straight lines.
________4. Objects and settings within the story may take on lives of their own in a
way that is ordinary to the characters in the story.
________5. Contradictions, inconsistencies and ambiguities color the point of view,
making you question what you understand about the world at large, as
well as what happens inside the story.
________6. A metamorphosis takes place in the story. It's treated not as a miracle,
but as an everyday event.
________7. The story does not bear the influences of oral tradition: fables, myths,
tall tales, urban legends, a charmed storytelling narrator (who may or
may not be reliable).
________8. The story, as it unfolds, gives the reader a sense of being inside a
puzzle or maze.
________9. The story is set in an otherwise ordinary world, with familiar historical
and/or cultural realities. Story events are not always explained by
universal laws or familiar logic.
_______10. The magical elements in the story may enhance a subversive message
or personalized point of view. Often the point of view is revealed through
voices, ideas, and places which exist outside the mainstream or majority
perspective.
What’s New
Do you have a favorite love song? Write it in your LITERATURE
ACTIVITY NOTEBOOK. Then, tell us what made that song your favorite and to whom
do you dedicate it.

What Is It
One of the most popular poetic forms is the fourteen line, iambic pentameter
poem with a traditional rhyme scheme: the sonnet. There are two kinds of sonnet: the
Italian/Petrarchan and the English/Shakespearean. Although both consist of 14 lines,
the Italian sonnet is divided into two parts: the octave “eight” and the sestet “six”. The
octave which raises the idea or argument of the sonnet has rhyme scheme abbaabba
while the sestet which extends the idea usually has the rhyme scheme cdecde.
The English sonnet on the other hand is divided into three quatrains, four-line
stanzas, and a couplet. The rhyme scheme is abab cdcd efef gg. The quatrains of the
English sonnet opens and develops the idea and the couplet concludes it.
Read Sonnet XVII by Pablo Neruda and answer the questions that follow.
Te amo directamente sin problemas ni I love you without knowing how, or when, or
orgullo: from where
Asi te amo porque no se amar de otra manera, I love you directly without problems or pride:
I love you like this because I don’t know any
Sino asi de este modo en que no soy ni eres, other way to love,
Tan cerca que tu mano sobre mi pecho es
mia, except in this form in which I am not nor are
Tan cerca que se cierran tus ojos con mi you,
sueño. so close that your hand upon my chest is
mine,
so close that your eyes close with my
dreams.

Questions Answer/Explanation
What I Can Do
The best way to appreciate sonnets is really for you to write your own. It
can be very challenging but it is worth the while. Your task is for you to choose
someone you love or someone you deeply care for that you are going to write your
sonnet for. In this activity, take note of the following requirements: iambic pentameter,
rhyme scheme, content, stanza, and artistic presentation.
