example/instances
of the new lesson Before we start our lesson for today,
I want you to meet Edith.
Edith L. Tiempo, poet, fictionist,

the finest Filipino writers in English

substance, of craftsmanship and
insight. She was born on April 22,
1919 in Bayombong, Nueva
Vizcaya. She passed away on
August 21, 2011, at the age of 92
years.
She is a woman who keeps

mother and this love are now being
passed on her and being handed over
to her daughter. In order to do so,
she is asking for your help. Yes Ma’am!

I have here Edith’s Memory Box,

practicing new
skills)#1 Good! This activity is related to our
topic for today. To discover more
about it, let us have another activity.
But before that, let us first read the
poem that our friend Edith wants us
to know. Let us read a poem entitled
“Bonsai” written by Edith Tiempo.

Bonsai
Edith Tiempo

All that I love

I fold over once
And once again
And keep in a box
Or a slit in a hollow post
Or in my shoe.

All that I love?

Why, yes, but for the moment-
And for all time, both.
Something that folds and keeps easy,
Son’s note or Dad’s one gaudy tie,
A roto picture of a queen,
A blue Indian shawl, even
A money bill.

It’s utter sublimation,

A feat, this heart’s control
Moment to moment
To scale all love down
To a cupped hand’s size

Till seashells are broken pieces

From God’s own bright teeth,
 And life and love are real
Things you can run and
Breathless hand over
To the merest child.
Ma’am, the poem, Bonsai,
Base from the poem that you have is about how love is
read, what do you think is the poem simplified and reduced so
all about? Yes Calisa? that one can give it out to
others.

No ma’am

Good observation, Have you seen

Bonsai tree?

This is a bonsai tree, as you can see

in literal or in person it is a small
tree but if we compare it to a poem
bonsai it symbolizes love.

The narrator of the poem tells about

a love of a mother and this love is
now being passed on or being
handed over to her daughter. The
narrator used it in her poem bonsai
as a metaphor for the human
capacity of keeping and nurturing
memories through tiny keepsakes.

This time, in order to help Edith

collecting her memories with her
mother, she decided to go back to
her old town house where she meets
the new owner of the house Mr P.
She believed that going back to
places where lots of memories with
her and her mother will help her
regain the old memory of her
beloved mother.

But, in order to do so, we must first Yes ma’am!

know the figures of speech that
show comparison and contrast.

Now, let us know deeper and get

 aquainted with figurative language
or figures of speech. Are you all
ready?
What is figurative language or
d. Discussing new figures of speech?
concepts and
practicing new Figurative language, or figures of
skills.#2 speech, is rhetorical devices used by
writers and speakers to give words
meaning beyond their usual, literal
definition.

Let’s begin with Identify the figures

of speech that show comparison.
First we have simile.

1. Simile – direct comparison

of two things that are often
unrelated to each other but
have particular in common.
The simile is usually in a
phrase that begins with the
word "as" or "like."

Example;

- He was panting like a

dog under a midday sun.

( Was – Singular)

- Pyro’s eyes were as

green as a spring
meadow.

(Were – Plural)

2. Metaphor- pulls
comparisons between two
unrelated ideas. With
metaphors, words or phrases
that are ordinarily applied to
one type of item or concept
are applied to something that
is not ordinarily associated
with that terminology.

Example:
 - Our front liners are brave
lions.

( Are – Linking verb)

- Ali is a walking dictionary.

(Walking – Verb)

3. Personification- the
attribution of a personal
nature or human
characteristics to something
nonhuman, or the
representation of an abstract
quality in human form.

Example:

- The clouds wept for three

hours.
(Wept means crying)
- The ocean danced in the
moonlight

(Dance – Verb)

Next we have Identify the figures of

speech that show contrast. First, the
Irony.

1. Irony- used a completely

opposite notion in a place of
what is actually meant.
Detecting it requires
understanding the context or
situation in which it is
delivered.

Example:
- Telling a rude customer to
“have a nice day”
(Telling – Verb)
- Walking into an empty
theater and asking, “it's too
crowded”

2. Oxymoron - is a figure of
speech that places
contradictory terms next to
 each other in a word or
phrase. As a literary device,
it is used to make certain
word combinations more
thought-provoking to stand
out.

Example:

- “All of Me” (2020): John

Legend’s ballad “All of Me”
includes the oxymoron “perfect
imperfections.”

(Me – Object Pronoun)

- There is always such sweet

sorrow in witnessing each and every
farewell function.

(Witnessing – Transitive verb)

3. Paradox - is a figure of
speech in which statement
appears to contradict itself.
e. Valuing Example:

 You can save money by

spending it.
(Spending – Transitive verb)
 I know one thing; that I
know nothing.
(Thing – Noun)

Since we are done discussing the

figures of speech. I have here a chart
that describe how important the
figures of speech. I will call one
student to answer on the board. You
have to check only the correct
answer.
Why figures of speech are
