TASK 5 – Discussion: The Centipede by Rony V. Diaz

Summary of The Centipede by Rony V. Diaz

A boy named Eddie hated his sister Delia. This started when Delia beat his dog Biryuk. He
wanted to stop her but can’t since Delia has a weak heart.

A flashback shows that Eddie and Delia treat each other as rivals. Delia was 8 years old when
Eddie was born and her mother died, which seems to be the reason why she also hated Eddie
and blamed him for the death of her mother.

Delia is also jealous of Eddie since the latter gains more attention. While Eddie loves animals
and insects, Delia doesn’t, which is why she tortures them just to make Eddie more miserable.

This went out of hand when Delia stabbed Eddie’s dog in the eye. He wanted revenge. A
helper named Berto gave Eddie the centipede. He wished to frighten Delia. His senses were
clouded with hate.
 While Delia embroidered a white cloth, he threw the centipede on his sister’s lap. He
returned to his senses and saw his sister down and writhing in pain. He regretted it but the
damage has already been done.
