Wedding Dance by Amador Daguio
1. Describe Awiyao and Lumnay’s house. Describe the presence of light and
darkness in the story.
-In the Heart of Darkness book, the symbolic sense of light and darkness
plays the central role. If we try to see the significance of light, it means
strong, intelligent, capable of any sector, life, perfection, etc. On the other
hand, darkness refers to darkness, illiteracy, death, ignorance, incapacity,
etc.
2. Describe Awiyao and Lumnay.
-Awiyao is a strong, muscular man. Initially, he is depicted cold at heart as
he enters his house and asks his wife Lumnay to come to the wedding
dance. But as the story progresses the warmth of his heart is revealed in
both the house and his face. He is a loving man which is expressed in the
way he feels for her pain. He is kind and loving towards his wife and like
her, he does not like the separation. Lumnay in the story the Wedding
Dance is Awiyao's ex-wife who cannot bear a child. She was left by Awiyao
because their culture won't allow them to continue their union. Lumnay is
the best dancer in the tribe
3. Read this following paragraph, what was Lumnay thinking?
-
4. “It is not right. It is not right!” she cried. “How does she know? How can
anybody know? It is not right,” she said. Suddenly she found courage. She
would go to the dance. She would go to the chief of the village, to the
elders, to tell them it was not right. Awiyao was hers; nobody could take
him away from her. Let her be the first woman to complain, to denounce
the unwritten rule that a man may take another woman. She would tell
Awiyao to come back to her. He surely would relent. Was not their love as
strong as the river?
Chapter III: Literature in CAR and NCR 1
-The paragraph says that Lumnay was weeping and very and very sad
because she was unable to express her thoughts and feelings about what
had happened to her and her former husband. That's why Awiyao wants to
go back to her husband, Awiyao.
5. After reading the story, in what ways toward your attitude toward Lumnay
and Madulimay – different?
-After reading the story I realized that we had different perspective in life, I
could say those character have their duties to do their jobs. Lumnay and
Madulimay has a big different because Lumany does not love Madulimay
and he can give his all his wealth just for one girl which is Lumnay.
6. If you were Lumnay, what would you do? Can you justify her behaviour
throughout the story? Explain.
-If I were Lumnay, I will be very sad Lumnay can hardly let go of her
hushband. What can I do is to protect what is right and if you really loved
that person you can simply make aways on how you will prove, I can justify
the behavior of Lumnay, although she feels hard about for situation, she is
still fighting just to be happy with his wife.
7. What is your reaction toward Awiyao’s marriage to Madulimay? Explain.
-The reaction would be quite unhappy, because Awiyao does not like
Maludimay she cannot feel true love with Maludimay only Maludimay loves
Awiyao because he can give his best just to be happy with her feeling.
8. Should you fight for the one you love? Or should you let go and take all of
the hurt for the other’s sake?
-Well letting go of someone you love is the one of the life’s most painful
experiences. When you have invested considerable amount of time and
emotional energy in someone sometimes love is not just not enough and
you came to the sad conclusion that is time to part ways. Let go of them
even if you love them because the nore you keep them the more your
heart’s their heart.

LOVE OF COUNTRY
BY: Andress Bonifacio
Is there any love that is nobler Purer and more sublime than the love of?
The native country? What love is? Certainly none.
Why? What thing of infinite greatness is this that all knees should be?
Bended Before it? That it should be held higher than the things most
Precious, even life?
Ah! The land it is that gave us birth, like a mother, and from her alone came the
pleasant rays like the sun's that warmed the benumbed body.
To her we owe the first breath that enlivened the breast oppressed and
Smothered in the abyss of pain and grievous suffering.
If our land with danger is threatened and help must be quickly forthcoming,
Children, wife, and parents and brothers at her first call we must abandon.

to protect our own land that ruled by the tyrant's leader and other foreign who
invaded the country just to kill and claim our own land.
