F. Discussion

Before we start, I give a short description who

is Jose Garcia Villa.

He is a poet, a critic, a short story writer and a

painter.

Jose Garcia Villa was born in Singalong,

Manila on August 05, 1908.

Graduated from UP High School in 1925 and

enrolled in the pre-med course. And one of his
best work is Footnote to Youth.

I will give you a copy of the story.

Would you believe in the saying "Like Father

like Son" why?

Yes Edylyn?

Okay, thank you!

Yes Maam, because you came from him and
Dodong thought to himself he would tell his father also to your Mother.
about Teang when he got home, after he had
unhitched the carabao from the plow, and led it to
its shed and fed it. He was hesitant about saying it.
Dodong finally decided to tell it, but a thought
came to him that his father might refuse to
consider it. His father was a silent hardworking
farmer, who chewed areca nut, which he had
learned to do from his mother. Dodong did not
bother to look where into the air, but thought of
his age, seventeen, and he said to himself he was
not young anymore. He was seventeen, he had
pimples on his face, then down on his upper lip
was dark-these meant he was no longer a boy. He
was growing into a man – he was a man. Dodong
felt insolent and big at the thought of it, although
he was by nature low in stature. Thinking himself
man grown, Dodong felt he could do anything.

So in this part of the story, it describes the main

character namely Dodong and he is 17 years old
when he decided to marry his love ones namely
Teang. But he hesitated to say it to his father but
he wants to convince his father because he thinks
that he can do anything because he is already
man.

Can you please continue reading, Yes Aceneth?

Dodong’s mother removed the dishes when they
were through, and went with slow careful steps
and Dodong wanted to help her carry the dishes
out. But he was tired and now, feld lazy. He wished
as he looked at her that he had a sister who could
help his mother in the housework.

Thank you!

What did you observed about Dodong's attitude?

Ma'am he is lazy and he doesn't want to help his
Yes, Irish. mother.

Very good! Yes he is lazy. He felt tiredness but if he

wants to help his mother it doesn't matter right?

Would you think his father refusing his decision or

letting him to marry Teang?
Yes Khayzelle.
Okay, thank you Khayzelle! Let see!
Please continue reading, Janine.
In this part of the story, his father let him
marry Teang even if he's still young because he
doesn't do anything but to accept his son's
decision.
Next paragraph will you please read
Edylyn.
So after several months they got a child. And
Teang realized how hard being a young parent.
And thinking what if she marry other suitor, is
she have the same life?
Last paragraph please, Yes Shekinah.
When their son grow, he follows the footsteps
of his parents, he wants to marry also. And
Dodong have nothing to do but explain how
hard to be in "marriage" but like Dodong, his
son pursue what he wants.
Ma'am, I think his father refusing his decision
because he still young and because he doesn't
know the responsibility of being in marriage.
You are very young, Dodong.” “I’m seventeen.”
“That’s very young to get married at.”
“I… I want to marry… Teang’s a good girl… “All
right, Dodong.” “All right, Dodong.”
“Son, if that is your wish… of course…” There was a
strange helpless light in his father’s eyes. Dodong
did not read it. Too absorbed was he in himself....
“Dodong,” his mother called again. “Dodong.” “It is
a boy.” “Dodong, you come up. You come up,” his
mother said. “Dodong… Dodong.” And they give it
name "BLAS".....
When Blas was eighteen, he came home one night,
very flustered and happy. Dodong heard Blas’
steps for he could not sleep well at night. He
watched Blass undress in the dark and lie down
softly. Blas was restless on his mat and could not
sleep. Dodong called his name and asked why he
did not sleep......
If you were Dodong would you let Blas to
marry even if he still young?

Yes, Joan.

Yes, Very good!

Do you have any questions?

No Ma'am, because I don't want to make him
experience what I experienced already.

Who are the characters in the story? Yes, (Nothing Ma'am)

Shekinah.

Very good!
Ma'am the characters in the story are Dodong,
What is the story all about? Yes Arianne Teang and his son Blas.

How does the story make you feel? The story was all about Dodong who decides to
marry at the age of 17 and it repeats when his
child Blas wants also to marry.

Very Good! I felt sad because Dodong have nothing to do to

convince his child Blas to change what he wants.
What is the moral lesson of the story? Yes
Carla.

Very good! Before entering to a married life, we must not

only think twice but a hundred times.
If you were given a chance to change the ending of
the story, what would it be?

I will not allowed my son Blas to marry Tona and I

will convince him to focus on his study and other
Thank you! Very Good!
