THE CREATIVE WORK IN
MODULE 5
OVERVIEW
Welcome to Module 5! This module will expose you to more creative works;
this time, focusing on the literary and/or sociopolitical contexts. These contexts will
help you not only to understand creative works better but also to relate them in the
lives of humanity. This module will also discuss the several orientations of creative
writing where you will be expected to produce a craft essay on your personal
creative process deploying a consciously selected orientation of creative writing.
This module has three lessons:
 Lesson 1: Literary and/or Sociopolitical Context
 Lesson 2: Orientations of Creative Writing
 Lesson 3: Craft Essay
At the end of this module, you are expected to:
1. situate a creative work in sociopolitical contexts (HUMSS_CW/MPIIc-f-21);
2. demonstrate awareness of and sensitivity to the different orientations of
creative writing (HUMSS_CW/MPIIc-f-22); and
3. write a craft essay (HUMSS_CW/MPIIc-f-23).
Before you go further, you should
remember the following:
 Do not put some markings on this Module as there are still other students who
will be using it. Use a separate notebook as a REFLECTIVE JOURNAL to keep
your answer in each activity. Be sure to LABEL your work according to the
Module, lessons and the date you work on it.
 Each Module has a brief instruction and followed by a list of objectives. Read
them and follow instructions carefully.
 Before going over the activities, answer the PRE-TEST first then find out how
well you did by checking your answers given in the self-assessment activity.

What’s In
In the previous lesson, we were able to discuss the elements of
drama which includes character, setting, plot, dialogue, and other
literary devices. We also learned about intertextuality which
discusses relationships between texts especially literary ones.
With this knowledge, you were able to conceptualize a specific character,
setting, and plot for a one-act play. With this script in mind, you then envisioned the
ways of staging your one-act plays. Our last lesson also allowed you to perform
exercises involving the elements of drama successfully.
Finally, your one-act play scripts and concepts were brought into life through
your one-act plays applying your knowledge on the elements of drama.

we use in studying any given creative/literary work? Identify these
approaches/theories below and write a check (√) mark beside the
item that we employ in our study of literature.

What is It
By now, you must have learned that literature is multi-dimensional as
it encompasses many aspects of society such as its culture, beliefs,
and ideology. This is so because its creator, the creative person, writes from specific
experiences and contexts.
It has been emphasized by our previous lessons that appreciating a creative
work, most especially works of literature, entails a skill that may be developed
through repeated experience and constant practice. Moreover, this regular savouring
of the beauty of literary works can be taken to another level when you want to
partake in the enlightening critical conversations among your teachers and fellow
students about works of literature especially the ones that tackle issues found in your
society.
To develop this skill, you must learn a few critical approaches that you can
use to interpret literature. Some of these have been used in our previous analysis on
poetry, fiction, and drama/play. To make sure that you will be able to use these
approaches in our succeeding lessons, we will discuss some commonly used ones
taken from the book of Habib (2008).
After each definition and description, sample questions are given as guide
questions in analyzing a piece of literature using a particular critical approach.
Finally, sample literary pieces that can be analyzed through the lens of the
previously discussed critical approach are also enumerated.
Common Critical Approaches in Analyzing Literary Pieces
A. Cultural Studies–Cultural Studies is a multi-disciplinary approach which
includes the perspectives of humanistic disciplines such as literature and art and the
social and behavioural sciences such as anthropology, economics, and psychology.
As a critical perspective, it contests the older definition of culture and looks not on
the stable coherences of a society or a civilization’s history but its dissensions and
conflicts.
7 | P a g e
Sample Critical Question
 What kinds of gender identify, behaviour, and attitudes are reflected in the
work?
 Is there any overtly or covertly expressed view of same-sex unions or
relationships?
Literary pieces that can be studied using Cultural Studies include the
following:
1. Blue Blood of the Big Astana by Ibrahim Jubaira
2. Surveyors of the Liguasan Marsh by Antonio Enriquez
3. We Filipinos Are Mild Drinkers by Alejandro Roces
B. New Historical Perspectives– New Historical Perspective is an approach
in studying literature which provides a context or background information on how
literary works were perceived in their time. This approach also shows how literary
works reflect ideas and attitudes of the time in which they were written. A newer
approach, New Historicism, still considers the contexts of literary works but this time
emphasizes on analyzing historical documents with the same amount of interest
afforded to the literary works to be interpreted.
Literary pieces that can be studied using the New Historical Perspectives/
New Historicism include the following:
1. Samboangan: The Cult of War by Antonio R. Enriquez
2. Spots on Their Wings by Antonio R. Enriquez
3. Cave and Shadows by Nick Joaquin
C. Marxist Perspective–Marxist Perspective is an approach that examines
literature for its reflections on how dominant elites exploit subordinate groups, how
people become “alienated” from each other, and how middle class values lead to the
control and suppression of the working classes. It sees literature’s value in promoting
social and economic revolution and considers the literary work as a “product” in
relation to the actual economic and social conditions that exist at the time of the
work’s composition or the time and place of the action it describes.
Literary pieces that can be studied using the Marxist Perspectives include the
following:
1. Progress by F. Sionel Jose
2. Dhowli by Mahasweta Devi
3. Poor Folk by I.V. Mallari
D. Feminist Perspective–Feminist Perspective is an approach that typically
sees literature as an arena in which to contest for power and control and thus an

Sample Critical Question
 How do power relations reflected in the literary work manifest themselves in
the cultural practices and social institutions prevalent during the time the
work was written and published?
Sample Critical Question
 To what extent are the lives of the characters influenced or determined by
the social, political, and economic forces?
agent for social transformation. Like Historicism and Marxism, this approach also
examines the social, economic, and cultural aspects of literary works especially for
what those works reveal about the role, position, and influence of women.
Literary pieces that can be studied using the Feminist Perspectives include
the following:
Literary pieces that can be studied using theFeminist Perspectives include the
following:
1. “The Wedding Dance” by Amador Daguio
2. “The Virgin” by KerimaTuvera
3. “I’m Wife” by Emily Dickinson
What’s More
Matching Literary Approaches: Match the
descriptions in B with the literary/critical approaches in
A. Write your answers in your journal/answer sheet.
A B
1. Historical A. This approach breaches the traditional understanding of the
terms (like teaching, learning, text, author among others) in the
process redrawing the limits that formerly separated them.
2. Cultural B. This theory considers every literary work as a product of its
time and its world.
3. Formalism C. This approach is concerned with understanding the role of
politics, money, and power in literature works and with
redefining and reforming the way society distributes its
resources among the classes.
4. Marxism D. This criticism attempts to redress the imbalance of literary
study in which all important books were written by men or the
only characters of real interest are male protagonists.
5. Feminism E. This approach does not limit itself to language and structure
but also spends time analyzing non-literary texts from the same
time in which literary works were written.
9 | P a g e
Sample Critical Question
 How are the relations between men and women, or those between members
of the opposite sex, presented in the work?
 What roles do men and women assume and perform and with what
consequence?
What I Have Learned
Reading works of literature is not only for entertainment. These literary pieces not
only offer you, the readers, with an awareness of your society and the culture that is
in it, but it also provides a glimpse of your own and your country’s history.
What social, cultural, political, and historical issues did you discover or
rediscover through our readings? How are they similar or different from the real
issues that you know about? What approaches will enable us to discern all of these
issues?

Read the excerpt of the short story entitled Dhowli, by Mahasweta Devi;
identify the cultural, historical, Marxist, and feminist contexts found in it. Do the
activity on your journal/answer sheet.
Dhowli
An excerpt
(Taken from drlouisapicard.files.wordpress.com)
She thought a lot, while tending the goats alone in the woods. She thought
about everything she could remember from her childhood—going to the fair, perched
on her father’s shoulders; spending the day looking at all the shops with their
expensive things, and then coming home happy with a paisa worth of sesame candy.
Of her marital home, all she remembered where the two rooms, the days of work at
the farm of the moneylender to whom they were indebted, and her mother-in-law
making the gruel at the end of the day, for the men to eat first before the women ate
what was left over.
About her wedding she could not recall much because she must have been
very small at the time. She was sent to live with her husband when her body
blossomed. Her father had to take a large loan from the Misras for her wedding and
sending off, and he had to pay back the loan with his labor until he died. She
remembered nothing nice about her husband. He used to beat her. He died of
afever. After he died, her mother-in-lawasked her to stay on.
“You have to work at your mother’s place too in order to eat. Do the same
here.”
Dhowli knew that much: she could spend the rest of her life there, working all
day, clad in the widow’s borderless sari, coarse and short, working every day from
sunrise to sunset either on the creditors threshing floor or as some farmers’ labourer
10 | P a g e
or levelling the layer of brick pieces with a mallet making some road or other, and
then falling asleep by the side of her mother-in-law after eating whatever was there
to eat. But her husband’selder brother came there and started eyeing her. Her
mother-in-law then turned against her and Dhowli left.

The Unseen War
An excerpt from Enriquez (1996)
That very second the first volley burst from the 80 canons of the Spanish
armada, Senor Capitan Esteban de Murga, Maestre de Campo General Felipe
Macombong, Battalion Commander Santiago the Handsomer, the guide Orancaya
Sofocan, and the musketeers, lancers, bowmen, artillery men, and foot soldiers,
sprang from waiting behind Sultan Kudarat’s stronghold.
They would have rushed up like soldiers do smelling certain victory but for the
thick bushes, thickets, woody trees, and rough land; instead they marched or
tramped quickly, fast, northeastward; the infidel Moros, however, were aware only of
the Spanish Armada facing them at the bay, not of the forces behind them on land;
which, meticulously and systematically, started burning everything in sight; cottas,
sitios, and villages of the heathen Moros.

What’s In
In our previous lesson, we learned about situating a work of literature
into its cultural, social, and political contexts. We learned that even if
works of literature are imaginary, they somehow portray person,
events, places, and issues that are realistic.
In analyzing these literary works, there are critical approaches that can
be used to situate these products of imagination into the readers’ very own
consciousness and experiences.
Can you recall some of these approaches? What does the cultural
perspective reveal? How about the historical perspectives? What approach focuses
on how women are viewed in a society?

What is it
Creative writing is a different genre of writing. When writing under this genre,
it is essential that you learn its different orientations. To understand this topic better,

was lovely. She was tall. She looked up to my brother with a smile, and her forehead was
on a level with his mouth.
"You are Baldo," she said and placed her hand lightly on my shoulder. Her
nails were long, but they were not painted. She was fragrant like a morning when
papayas are in bloom. And a small dimple appeared momently high on her right
cheek. "And this is Labang of whom I have heard so much."
She held the wrist of one hand with the other and looked at Labang, and
Labang never stopped chewing his cud. He swallowed and brought up to his mouth
more cud and the sound of his insides was like a drum.
I laid a hand on Labang's massive neck and said to her: "You may scratch his
forehead now."
She hesitated and I saw that her eyes were on the long, curving horns. But
she came and touched Labang's forehead with her long fingers, and Labang never
stopped chewing his cud except that his big eyes half closed. And by and by she
was scratching his forehead very daintily.
My brother Leon put down the two trunks on the grassy side of the road. He
paid CaCelin twice the usual fare from the station to the edge of Nagrebcan. Then
he was standing beside us, and she turned to him eagerly. I watched CaCelin,
where he stood in front of his horse, and he ran his fingers through its forelock and
could not keep his eyes away from her.
"Maria---" my brother Leon said.
He did not say Maring. He did not say Mayang. I knew then that he had
always called her Maria and that to us all she would be Maria; and in my mind I
said 'Maria' and it was a beautiful name.
The sun was in our eyes, for it was dipping into the bright sea. The sky
was wide and deep and very blue above us: but along the saw-tooth rim of the
Katayaghan hills to the southwest flamed huge masses of clouds. Before us the
fields swam in a golden haze through which floated big purple and red and
yellow bubbles when I looked at the sinking sun. Labang's white coat, which I
had wished and brushed that morning with coconut husk, glistened like beaten
cotton under the lamplight and his horns appeared tipped with fire.
He faced the sun and from his mouth came a call so loud and vibrant that

What is It
Another genre of literature aside from poetry, drama, and short story
are the essays. The word essay came from the French word “essais”
(Cantular, 2011). Have you written an autobiography before? How
about writing on your embarrassing or unforgettable experience? Or, your new years’
resolution as soon you came back to school from the Christmas holiday?
An essay can be written by you on almost any subject reflecting your
attempts to express your experiences, ideas, and feelings about whatever topic you
are writing on. An essay may be written creatively especially the ones that are
reflections of a writer’s personal experience, feelings, and ideas. It uses ordinary,
colloquial language and is conversational in tone and style. It considers the following
acronym to make it effective:
 Content
 Role
 Audience
 Format
 Topic
There are different kinds of essays. According to Cantular (2011). Essays are
classified into its content and purpose. Here are the types of essays:
1. Speculative – This type needs to explore ideas and feelings. It is less
organized, less authoritative, and less insistent in its presentation for it simply
projects the mind of the writer.
2. Argumentative – This essay presents claims and ideas in a
straightforward manner. Its main intent is to establish a point by supporting it with
evidences, data, and information.
3. Narrative – This essay relates an incident as it happened. It is unlike fiction
since its intention is the conveyance of idea/insight based on an event.
4. Expository – This essay has the purpose of expounding and making
something clear for the readers.
23 | P a g e
Just like any other prose composition, essays can be organized in the
following patterns or methods of organization.
A. Chronological order – A chronological pattern of organization arranges
information according to a progression of time, either forward or backward. When a
topic is best understood in terms of different segments of time, a chronological
format works well. For example, topics of an historical nature are best organized
using this pattern.
B. Order of importance – In this order, ideas or steps are prioritized by
the writer or speaker according to a hierarchy of value. When using the order of
importance pattern of organization, information can be structured from
most important to least important or least important to most important.
C. Sequential order - A sequential pattern of organization is similar to a
chronological pattern, but arranges information according to a step-by-step
sequence that describes a particular process. When one wishes to describe a
process that follows specific series of steps in a particular order, then a sequential
pattern works well. For example, suppose a writer's stated purpose is to explain how
wine is made.
D. Spatial order - A spatial pattern of organization arranges information
according to how things fit together in physical space; i.e., where one thing exists in
relation to another. This pattern works well when a writer wishes to create a mental
picture of something which has various parts distinguished by physical location.
Topics involving geography, for example, are often best organized using a spatial
pattern.
E. Comparison and contrast order - A compare and contrast pattern
arranges information according to how two or more things are similar to or different
from one another (or both). This is an effective pattern to use when the reader can
better understand one subject when it is described in relation to another. If the
reader is familiar with one topic, the writer can compare or contrast it with another
topic to shed insight on it. For example, suppose a writer's stated purpose is to help
the reader make an informed decision about whether to attend a two-year college or
a four-year university.

We encourage teachers and other education stakeholders to email their feedback, comments, and recommendations to the Department of Education at action@deped.gov.ph. THE CREATIVE WORK IN MODULE 5
  • 4. OVERVIEW Welcome to Module 5! This module will expose you to more creative works; this time, focusing on the literary and/or sociopolitical contexts. These contexts will help you not only to understand creative works better but also to relate them in the lives of humanity. This module will also discuss the several orientations of creative writing where you will be expected to produce a craft essay on your personal creative process deploying a consciously selected orientation of creative writing. This module has three lessons:  Lesson 1: Literary and/or Sociopolitical Context  Lesson 2: Orientations of Creative Writing  Lesson 3: Craft Essay At the end of this module, you are expected to: 1. situate a creative work in sociopolitical contexts (HUMSS_CW/MPIIc-f-21); 2. demonstrate awareness of and sensitivity to the different orientations of creative writing (HUMSS_CW/MPIIc-f-22); and 3. write a craft essay (HUMSS_CW/MPIIc-f-23). Before you go further, you should remember the following:  Do not put some markings on this Module as there are still other students who will be using it. Use a separate notebook as a REFLECTIVE JOURNAL to keep your answer in each activity. Be sure to LABEL your work according to the Module, lessons and the date you work on it.  Each Module has a brief instruction and followed by a list of objectives. Read them and follow instructions carefully.  Before going over the activities, answer the PRE-TEST first then find out how well you did by checking your answers given in the self-assessment activity. 4 | P a g e o General Instruction
  • 5. Each activity must be according to the objectives of this Module. Note the skills or strategies you tried to develop.  After each activity, you need to go over the items which you think you failed. Take the POST TEST when you think you have mastered all the activities. Lesson 1 THE CREATIVE WORK IN THE LITERARY AND/OR SOCIOPOLITICAL CONTEXT What I Need to Know At the end of this lesson, you are expected to: 1. Situate a creative work in sociopolitical contexts (HUMSS_CW/MPIIc-f-21) What I Know Multiple Choice: To measure your knowledge of the concepts that this module will develop, answer the following questions.

Marxist d. Feminist 2. Which approach uses “To what extent are the lives of the characters influenced or determined by the social, political, and economic forces?” as one of its guide questions in interpreting a work of literature? a.

Historical What’s In In the previous lesson, we were able to discuss the elements of drama which includes character, setting, plot, dialogue, and other literary devices. We also learned about intertextuality which discusses relationships between texts especially literary ones. With this knowledge, you were able to conceptualize a specific character, setting, and plot for a one-act play. With this script in mind, you then envisioned the ways of staging your one-act plays. Our last lesson also allowed you to perform exercises involving the elements of drama successfully. Finally, your one-act play scripts and concepts were brought into life through your one-act plays applying your knowledge on the elements of drama. What’s New Defining Critical Approaches. What common critical approaches do we use in studying any given creative/literary work? Identify these approaches/theories below and write a check (√) mark beside the item that we employ in our study of literature. 6 | P a g e

Naturalist What is It By now, you must have learned that literature is multi-dimensional as it encompasses many aspects of society such as its culture, beliefs, and ideology. This is so because its creator, the creative person, writes from specific experiences and contexts. It has been emphasized by our previous lessons that appreciating a creative work, most especially works of literature, entails a skill that may be developed through repeated experience and constant practice. Moreover, this regular savouring of the beauty of literary works can be taken to another level when you want to partake in the enlightening critical conversations among your teachers and fellow students about works of literature especially the ones that tackle issues found in your society. To develop this skill, you must learn a few critical approaches that you can use to interpret literature. Some of these have been used in our previous analysis on poetry, fiction, and drama/play. To make sure that you will be able to use these approaches in our succeeding lessons, we will discuss some commonly used ones taken from the book of Habib (2008). After each definition and description, sample questions are given as guide questions in analyzing a piece of literature using a particular critical approach. Finally, sample literary pieces that can be analyzed through the lens of the previously discussed critical approach are also enumerated. Common Critical Approaches in Analyzing Literary Pieces A. Cultural Studies–Cultural Studies is a multi-disciplinary approach which includes the perspectives of humanistic disciplines such as literature and art and the social and behavioural sciences such as anthropology, economics, and psychology. As a critical perspective, it contests the older definition of culture and looks not on the stable coherences of a society or a civilization’s history but its dissensions and conflicts. 7 | P a g e Sample Critical Question  What kinds of gender identify, behaviour, and attitudes are reflected in the work?  Is there any overtly or covertly expressed view of same-sex unions or relationships?
  • 8. Literary pieces that can be studied using Cultural Studies include the following: 1. Blue Blood of the Big Astana by Ibrahim Jubaira 2. Surveyors of the Liguasan Marsh by Antonio Enriquez 3. We Filipinos Are Mild Drinkers by Alejandro Roces B. New Historical Perspectives– New Historical Perspective is an approach in studying literature which provides a context or background information on how literary works were perceived in their time. This approach also shows how literary works reflect ideas and attitudes of the time in which they were written. A newer approach, New Historicism, still considers the contexts of literary works but this time emphasizes on analyzing historical documents with the same amount of interest afforded to the literary works to be interpreted. Literary pieces that can be studied using the New Historical Perspectives/ New Historicism include the following: 1. Samboangan: The Cult of War by Antonio R. Enriquez 2. Spots on Their Wings by Antonio R. Enriquez 3. Cave and Shadows by Nick Joaquin C. Marxist Perspective–Marxist Perspective is an approach that examines literature for its reflections on how dominant elites exploit subordinate groups, how people become “alienated” from each other, and how middle class values lead to the control and suppression of the working classes. It sees literature’s value in promoting social and economic revolution and considers the literary work as a “product” in relation to the actual economic and social conditions that exist at the time of the work’s composition or the time and place of the action it describes. Literary pieces that can be studied using the Marxist Perspectives include the following: 1. Progress by F. Sionel Jose 2. Dhowli by Mahasweta Devi 3. Poor Folk by I.V. Mallari D. Feminist Perspective–Feminist Perspective is an approach that typically sees literature as an arena in which to contest for power and control and thus an 8 | P a g e Sample Critical Question  How do power relations reflected in the literary work manifest themselves in the cultural practices and social institutions prevalent during the time the work was written and published? Sample Critical Question  To what extent are the lives of the characters influenced or determined by the social, political, and economic forces?
  • 9. agent for social transformation. Like Historicism and Marxism, this approach also examines the social, economic, and cultural aspects of literary works especially for what those works reveal about the role, position, and influence of women. Literary pieces that can be studied using the Feminist Perspectives include the following: Literary pieces that can be studied using theFeminist Perspectives include the following: 1. “The Wedding Dance” by Amador Daguio 2. “The Virgin” by KerimaTuvera 3. “I’m Wife” by Emily Dickinson What’s More Matching Literary Approaches: Match the descriptions in B with the literary/critical approaches in A. Write your answers in your journal/answer sheet. A B 1. Historical A. This approach breaches the traditional understanding of the terms (like teaching, learning, text, author among others) in the process redrawing the limits that formerly separated them. 2. Cultural B. This theory considers every literary work as a product of its time and its world. 3. Formalism C. This approach is concerned with understanding the role of politics, money, and power in literature works and with redefining and reforming the way society distributes its resources among the classes. 4. Marxism D. This criticism attempts to redress the imbalance of literary study in which all important books were written by men or the only characters of real interest are male protagonists. 5. Feminism E. This approach does not limit itself to language and structure but also spends time analyzing non-literary texts from the same time in which literary works were written. 9 | P a g e Sample Critical Question  How are the relations between men and women, or those between members of the opposite sex, presented in the work?  What roles do men and women assume and perform and with what consequence?
  • 10. What I Have Learned Reading works of literature is not only for entertainment. These literary pieces not only offer you, the readers, with an awareness of your society and the culture that is in it, but it also provides a glimpse of your own and your country’s history. What social, cultural, political, and historical issues did you discover or rediscover through our readings? How are they similar or different from the real issues that you know about? What approaches will enable us to discern all of these issues? What I Can Do I. Identifying Socio-Political Contexts In A Short Story Unlocking of Difficulty: Before reading selection below, let us first define some words that are used in the selection. 1. Perched – Rested on a spot 2. Indebted – Owing gratitude 3. Sari – Garment of southern Asian women 4. Coarse – Loose or rough in texture 5. Threshing – Separating seeds from a plant Read the excerpt of the short story entitled Dhowli, by Mahasweta Devi; identify the cultural, historical, Marxist, and feminist contexts found in it. Do the activity on your journal/answer sheet. Dhowli An excerpt (Taken from drlouisapicard.files.wordpress.com) She thought a lot, while tending the goats alone in the woods. She thought about everything she could remember from her childhood—going to the fair, perched on her father’s shoulders; spending the day looking at all the shops with their expensive things, and then coming home happy with a paisa worth of sesame candy. Of her marital home, all she remembered where the two rooms, the days of work at the farm of the moneylender to whom they were indebted, and her mother-in-law making the gruel at the end of the day, for the men to eat first before the women ate what was left over. About her wedding she could not recall much because she must have been very small at the time. She was sent to live with her husband when her body blossomed. Her father had to take a large loan from the Misras for her wedding and sending off, and he had to pay back the loan with his labor until he died. She remembered nothing nice about her husband. He used to beat her. He died of afever. After he died, her mother-in-lawasked her to stay on. “You have to work at your mother’s place too in order to eat. Do the same here.” Dhowli knew that much: she could spend the rest of her life there, working all day, clad in the widow’s borderless sari, coarse and short, working every day from sunrise to sunset either on the creditors threshing floor or as some farmers’ labourer 10 | P a g e

But her husband’selder brother came there and started eyeing her. Her mother-in-law then turned against her and Dhowli left.

Identify the cultural, historical, Marxist, and feminist contexts found in it. Do the activity on your journal/answer sheet. The Unseen War An excerpt from Enriquez (1996) That very second the first volley burst from the 80 canons of the Spanish armada, Senor Capitan Esteban de Murga, Maestre de Campo General Felipe Macombong, Battalion Commander Santiago the Handsomer, the guide Orancaya Sofocan, and the musketeers, lancers, bowmen, artillery men, and foot soldiers, sprang from waiting behind Sultan Kudarat’s stronghold. They would have rushed up like soldiers do smelling certain victory but for the thick bushes, thickets, woody trees, and rough land; instead they marched or tramped quickly, fast, northeastward; the infidel Moros, however, were aware only of the Spanish Armada facing them at the bay, not of the forces behind them on land; which, meticulously and systematically, started burning everything in sight; cottas, sitios, and villages of the heathen Moros.

Details What’s In In our previous lesson, we learned about situating a work of literature into its cultural, social, and political contexts. We learned that even if works of literature are imaginary, they somehow portray person, events, places, and issues that are realistic. In analyzing these literary works, there are critical approaches that can be used to situate these products of imagination into the readers’ very own consciousness and experiences. Can you recall some of these approaches? What does the cultural perspective reveal? How about the historical perspectives? What approach focuses on how women are viewed in a society?

  • 15. 2. 3. 4. 5. What is it Creative writing is a different genre of writing. When writing under this genre, it is essential that you learn its different orientations. To understand this topic better, recall the craft of a creative writer. To give you a clearer idea, let us go back to our definition of creative writing first. Creative writing is any writing that goes outside the bounds of normal professional, journalistic, academic, or technical forms of literature, typically identified by an emphasis on narrative craft, character development, and the use of literary tropes or with various traditions of poetry and poetics. The creative works that we have been analyzing in this subject are all products of this craft that we will learn in this part of our lesson. Laminack (2007) and Ray (1999) who referred craft as the art of writing. Specifically, the writer intentionally use the following to create an effect on the reader:  Figurative language  Snapshots/imagery/details  Thoughtshots  Word choice/word placement  Sound/dialogue  Sentence structure/stylistic devices  Text features  Text structure The following are the categories of craft: 1.

Audible Craft–This category refers to how sound devices are used in a text. This includes the following:  Alliteration – Refers to the use of similar consonant sound at the beginning of a word in a literary work such as “whither wilt thou wander”  Assonance – Refers to the repetition of vowel sounds such as “rise high in the bright sky”  Onomatopoeia – Refers to the formation or use of words that imitate the sound of something such as “the bell buzzed, clanged, and tinkled”  Rhythm – Refers to the pattern formed by stressed and unstressed syllables in poetry  Cadence – Refers to the beat of measure of something that follows a set rhythm  Hard and soft sounds – Refers to the texture of sounds that relates to the auditory impact that it produces to the reader such as the sound of lightning compared to the sound of a baby’s laughter 16 | P a g e

Do the activity on your journal/answer sheet 18 | P a g e How My Bother Leon Brought Home a Wife (Manuel Arguilla) She stepped down from the carretela of CaCelin with a quick, delicate grace. She was lovely. She was tall. She looked up to my brother with a smile, and her forehead was on a level with his mouth. "You are Baldo," she said and placed her hand lightly on my shoulder. Her nails were long, but they were not painted. She was fragrant like a morning when papayas are in bloom. And a small dimple appeared momently high on her right cheek. "And this is Labang of whom I have heard so much." She held the wrist of one hand with the other and looked at Labang, and Labang never stopped chewing his cud. He swallowed and brought up to his mouth more cud and the sound of his insides was like a drum. I laid a hand on Labang's massive neck and said to her: "You may scratch his forehead now." She hesitated and I saw that her eyes were on the long, curving horns. But she came and touched Labang's forehead with her long fingers, and Labang never stopped chewing his cud except that his big eyes half closed. And by and by she was scratching his forehead very daintily. My brother Leon put down the two trunks on the grassy side of the road. He paid CaCelin twice the usual fare from the station to the edge of Nagrebcan. Then he was standing beside us, and she turned to him eagerly. I watched CaCelin, where he stood in front of his horse, and he ran his fingers through its forelock and could not keep his eyes away from her. "Maria---" my brother Leon said. He did not say Maring. He did not say Mayang. I knew then that he had always called her Maria and that to us all she would be Maria; and in my mind I said 'Maria' and it was a beautiful name. The sun was in our eyes, for it was dipping into the bright sea. The sky was wide and deep and very blue above us: but along the saw-tooth rim of the Katayaghan hills to the southwest flamed huge masses of clouds. Before us the fields swam in a golden haze through which floated big purple and red and yellow bubbles when I looked at the sinking sun. Labang's white coat, which I had wished and brushed that morning with coconut husk, glistened like beaten cotton under the lamplight and his horns appeared tipped with fire. He faced the sun and from his mouth came a call so loud and vibrant that

Write a check (√) mark in each item that can be considered creative essay. ⎕ 1. My Bestfriend and I: Just a Like a Pair of Rainbows ⎕ 2. What Could Forever Mean in Days ⎕ 3. Why We Need Rain ⎕ 4. If I Had an Eighth Day of the Week ⎕ 5. The Hidden Law of Economics ⎕ 6. Rising HIV Cases ⎕ 7. The Need for Moral Recovery ⎕ 8. Climate Change in the Philippines ⎕ 9. The 2019 Polls: The Debates ⎕ 10. Flying with a Firefly What is It Another genre of literature aside from poetry, drama, and short story are the essays. The word essay came from the French word “essais” (Cantular, 2011). Have you written an autobiography before? How about writing on your embarrassing or unforgettable experience? Or, your new years’ resolution as soon you came back to school from the Christmas holiday? An essay can be written by you on almost any subject reflecting your attempts to express your experiences, ideas, and feelings about whatever topic you are writing on. An essay may be written creatively especially the ones that are reflections of a writer’s personal experience, feelings, and ideas. It uses ordinary, colloquial language and is conversational in tone and style. It considers the following acronym to make it effective:  Content  Role  Audience  Format  Topic There are different kinds of essays. According to Cantular (2011). Essays are classified into its content and purpose. Here are the types of essays: 1. Speculative – This type needs to explore ideas and feelings. It is less organized, less authoritative, and less insistent in its presentation for it simply projects the mind of the writer. 2. Argumentative – This essay presents claims and ideas in a straightforward manner. Its main intent is to establish a point by supporting it with evidences, data, and information. 3. Narrative – This essay relates an incident as it happened. It is unlike fiction since its intention is the conveyance of idea/insight based on an event. 4. Expository – This essay has the purpose of expounding and making something clear for the readers. 23 | P a g e
  • 24. Just like any other prose composition, essays can be organized in the following patterns or methods of organization. A. Chronological order – A chronological pattern of organization arranges information according to a progression of time, either forward or backward. When a topic is best understood in terms of different segments of time, a chronological format works well. For example, topics of an historical nature are best organized using this pattern. B. Order of importance – In this order, ideas or steps are prioritized by the writer or speaker according to a hierarchy of value. When using the order of importance pattern of organization, information can be structured from most important to least important or least important to most important. C. Sequential order - A sequential pattern of organization is similar to a chronological pattern, but arranges information according to a step-by-step sequence that describes a particular process. When one wishes to describe a process that follows specific series of steps in a particular order, then a sequential pattern works well. For example, suppose a writer's stated purpose is to explain how wine is made. D. Spatial order - A spatial pattern of organization arranges information according to how things fit together in physical space; i.e., where one thing exists in relation to another. This pattern works well when a writer wishes to create a mental picture of something which has various parts distinguished by physical location. Topics involving geography, for example, are often best organized using a spatial pattern. E. Comparison and contrast order - A compare and contrast pattern arranges information according to how two or more things are similar to or different from one another (or both). This is an effective pattern to use when the reader can better understand one subject when it is described in relation to another. If the reader is familiar with one topic, the writer can compare or contrast it with another topic to shed insight on it. For example, suppose a writer's stated purpose is to help the reader make an informed decision about whether to attend a two-year college or a four-year university. What’s More Matching the CRAFT.
