 Analyzing Factual/Nonfictional Elements in the Texts
Analysis, particularly in literature, sets you to be well-equipped not just with the
subject but even in the application of what they have learned to real-life situations.
Literary analysis encourages you to branch beyond their own experiences and beliefs,
and in doing so it allows you to build empathy. Understanding nonfictional elements
helps you to work on with different tasks dealing with literature.

At its foundation, literary analysis encourages critical thinking. While in a writing

class, you might be asked to dissect a particular piece from writing or search for explicit
components/associations inside a bit of writing as doing such builds up a system for
basic considerations outside writing. Critical thinking is significant that it urges you to
interface thoughts, inspect for irregularities in thinking, take care of issues, and consider
your own convictions. Especially in the present culture, these characteristics are
indispensable outside of secondary school whether an understudy goes to school or
not–whether an understudy turns into an English major or not. Scholarly literary analysis
requests that you reinforce your basic reasoning skills.

Learning Task 1:
Recall your previous subjects or activities where you were asked to do an
analysis. In your notebook, write the actions that you did in doing your analysis task.
Learning Task 2:
Using a concept map, map out your ideas about the areas to deal with in doing a
nonfictional literary analysis. Do this in your notebook.
Learning Task 3:
Using the associated words from your previous learning task, create two (2)
sentences that will present your ideas about the topic. In your notebook, write your
questions that will be answered after taking the lesson.
Learning Task 4:
Read the narrative text below. Analyze the text by answering the provided
prompt questions about narrative genre. Do this in your notebook.
 The Forgotten Ones
Mary Jade Dondonay

Have you ever felt how hard is it to be taken for granted? But what if the society
has totally forgotten you, would it be harder than it already is?
It was a humid afternoon Manila when after almost two weeks of working in
Balintawak Market, I’ve decided to unwind and give myself a break. The warmth of
sun’s ray as it kisses my skin felt like hell. It seems like I have stated all types of curses
in my head for not bringing an umbrella as I walk on the banquets and sidewalks of
Novaliches, Bayan in Quezon City. The some coming from the vehicle add up to my
irritation as I sneezed every now and then. I regretted going out for a second and
realized that it was not the break that I wanted. It feels like it was the biggest problem in
the world that time.
As I continue walking on the clothing area, I saw three children maybe ages five
to six wearing their rugged-like clothes holding paper cups asking for coins to every
people that’ll pass by the area. The tiredness and hunger were etched on their faces
that they almost want to beg for they haven’t eaten since last night. Their bodies were
that thin like a piece of a bamboo, their big bellies were waving and it is evident that
they lack of nutrients.
Then it hits me. At that time, I have realized how stupid I am earlier that time for
ranting such things when in fact those children have all the rights to speak up for
experiencing the hardest in such a young age. Those children who are years younger
than me making ways to earn money but there I was, complaining for heat. It broke my
heart seeing those children because I’ve been there. Memory when I was younger flash
back. I have experienced stomach ache for not having to eat because my father lost his
job. What hurts me the most was seeing my parents’ problematic faces thinking where
to get food to eat. I learned how to value education and started appreciating the hard
works and sacrifices of my parents as such a young age. They’ve done lot for us that
the word “thanks” will never be enough to express my gratitude for them. I am lucky that
our parents are taking good care for us that although they were not able to finish their
studies, they took full responsibility of giving our basic needs. Their parents may be
irresponsible enough to stood up and take responsibility for bringing them to the world
that’s why they are the one who suffers. And I think that’s the saddest.
After giving them coins, I continued walking. Upon entering the area where
accessories are located, I saw an old man sitting in the dirty banquet where an umbrella
is the only one that protects him from hellish sun ray. He looks dirty in his black rugged-
like tee shirt and ripped shorts with his white hairs waving hello. E 33 PIVOT 4A
CALABARZON The dirt caused by the dust around was present on his wrinkled body,
an understatement that he has not taken his bath yet. I was standing on his back,
observing. He lends his hands as if asking for money on every people that pass by and
will utter the word “pangkain lang po”. Out of pity and curiosity, I went in front of him end
asked him where were his children; he answered “may kanya-kanya nang asawa”. I
frown in dismay and nodded.
Upon hearing his answer, I’ve realized how ungrateful his children were. At that
moment, I promised myself to take care of my parents ‘til the day they bid their farewell
in this world. I can’t afford to see my parents in his situation. And I think, that’s the least
that I can do to pay them back.
Life had been really hard to those people who are less fortunate. It seems like
they’ve been forgotten not only by their loved ones but the society. Now, I realized why
my parents are working hard for us to send to school and have a better life because
they’ve been there and don’t want us to be in that situation. Those less fortunate people
deserve to experience the best in life for they’ve been through enough. But, no one will
help them but themselves. They should be the one to act first and the rest will follow.
For people like us, if we thought that we have the heaviest problems, think twice
or thrice. There were people out there who suffered a lot but are still fighting, and so us
too. Take every problem an opportunity to be stronger and be an inspiration to other
people.

New coronavirus mutation found in the Philippines

Gaea Katreena Cabico

A mutation of the novel coronavirus believed to be more infectious than the

original variant has been detected in the Philippines, genomic researchers said.
The new mutation of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, has been
reported to have become the dominant coronavirus strain circulating around the world.
Researchers called the new strain G614. When the outbreak began in the country last
March, the original D614 genotype showed up in the positive samples collected by the
Philippine Genome Center (PGC). But in a new study, genomic researchers detected
both the D614 and the G614.
“We now report the detection of the D614 variant among nine randomly selected
COVID-19 positive samples collected in Quezon City in July. In the month of June, both
the D614 as well as the G614 have been detected in a small sample of positive cases,”
PGC said in an August 13 bulletin.
“Although this information confirms the presence of G614 in the Philippines, we
note that all the samples tested were from Quezon City and may not represent the
mutational landscape for the whole country,” it added.
Last month, researchers from the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New
Mexico and Duke University in North Carolina published a study that a specific change
in SARS-CoV-2 virus genome is more infectious in cell culture. The team analyzed the
data of 999 patients hospitalized with COVID-19 in the United Kingdom and observed
that those infected with G614 had more viral particles in them.
They, however, did not find evidence of G614 impact on disease severity.
In other words, it was not significantly associated with hospitalization status.
“There is still no definitive evidence showing that carriers of the G614 variant are
actually more transmissible than those with D614, and the mutation does not appear to
substantially affect clinical outcom es as well,” PGC said.
The genome center stressed the importance of continuously monitoring G614 to
help formulate containment, diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.
“Itong sinasabi nila na D614G mutation may higher possibility na mas transmissible
siya, mas higher ang level niya na makaka-transmit sya sa iba or infectious. Pero wala
pa rin tayong solid evidence to say na ‘yan talaga ay mangyayari,” Health
Undersecretary Maria Rosario Vergeire said in a media forum Monday.
(They say D614G mutation has higher possibility that it is transmissible, it has
higher level that it can transmit to others or infectious. But we still don’t have solid
evidence to say that will happen.)
She also said that the PGC has been authorized by the DOH to continue the
study to gather more information about the virus.
The novel coronavirus has so far infected 161,253 people in the country despite
imposing one of the longest and strictest lockdowns. Of the figure, 112,586 have
recovered and 2,665 have died.
