“The Story of the Aged Mother”

by Matsuo Basho

Transcription

Long, long ago there lived at foot of the mountain a poor farmer
and his aged, widowed mother. They owned a bit of land which
supplied them with food, and they were humble, peaceful, and
happy.

The country of Shining was ruled by a governor. He was a

despotic and very cruel ruler. He thought that aged people were
useless. The unhealthy and old people would drain away the
wealth doing nothing for the development of his country. The
circumstances were not favourable for the aged people. Once,
he declared that all the aged people must be put to death.

The poor farmer loved his aged mother with tender reverence,
and the order filled his heart with sorrow. But, the youth
prepared for what at that time was considered the kindest mode
of death.

After preparing all the things he needed. The poor farmer lifted
his helpless old mother to his back and started on his painful
journey up the mountain. The road was long and steep. In some
place, they lost and confuse, but he gave no heed. He went,
climbing blindly upward towards the summit.

The eyes of the old mother were not so dim but they noted the
reckless, and her loving heart grew anxious. Her son did not
know the mountain’s many paths and his return might be of
danger. So, she stretched forth her hand and snapping the twigs
from brushes as they passed, she quietly dropped a handful
every few steps of the way. At last the summit was reached.

With tearful eyes and an aching heart the farmer said farewell.
The trembling mother’s voice was full of unselfish love as she
gave her last injunction. The son’s surprised eyes looked back
over the path, then at the poor old, shriveled hands all scratched
and soiled by their work of love. His heart broke within and
bowing to the ground. And together they went back.

The son hid his mother in a closet beneath the kitchen floor,
supplying her with everything she needed.

Time passed, the governor sent forth heralds bearing an

unreasonable order. His demand was that his subjects should
present him with a rope of ashes.

One night, in great distress, the mother told the farmer what to
do. “Make rope of twisted straw, then stretch it upon a row of
flat stones and burn it on a windless night.”

He called the people together and did as she said. Behold, upon
the stones lay a rope with ashes.

The governor was pleased at the wit of the youth, and he

demanded to know where he had obtained his wisdom. The
farmer related his story. The governor listened and then
meditated in silence. Finally, he lifted his head. That very hour
the cruel law was abolished, and custom drifted into as far a past
that only legends remain.

Yes, ma’am.
Did you enjoy the story?

What did you feel while watching the story? I feel so sad ma’am
because all of the aged
people in their country
was not given the equal
rights.

What do you think are the circumstances that led to the The country Shining was
abandoning of aged people in Shining? ruled by a governor. He
was a despotic and very
cruel ruler. He thought
that aged people were
useless. The unhealthy
and old people would
drain away the wealth
doing nothing for the
development of his
country. That is why he
declared that all the aged
people must be put to
death.
 How was the journey of the farmer up the mountain? His journey up the
mountain was very
painful both physically
and mentally. He lifted
his helpless mother to
his back and climbed up
the mountain. Moreover,
the road was long and
steep. It was narrow. He
lost his way at times. But
he went climbing blindly
upward until he reached
the summit.

That is right. If you were the poor farmer, will you obey the If I were the poor
governor’s decree? Why or why not? farmer, I will not obey
the decree. Even if my
mother is old, and she is
weak and fragile, she is
still my mother. I would
do anything to protect
and take care of her even
if I am poor and
powerless.
Exactly, that’s why me must cherish every moments that we
have with our parents.

E. Discussing
New Concepts EXPLORE

This time, with the transcriptions of the story titled “ The Aged
Mother”, given to you, highlight the words that are not familiar
with you and provide your own meaning without looking at
your dictionary. Write the unfamiliar words and its meaning in
the chart given to you and paste it on the board. And please be
guided with this format.

Unfamiliar Words Meaning

 despotic Dictatorial
 reverence Deep respect for someone
 abolish Put an end

Alright, I can see that each group have lots of unfamiliar words
written on their charts.

(Each group will be asked to read their works and select a

representative to explain how did they know that it was the
exact meaning of those unfamiliar words)

Going back to your previous activity, what made you think that
those are the meanings of those words? The words used in the
sentence helped me to
find the exact meaning
of those words ma’am
because it gives me a
 hint/ clue what is that
word means.

Yes very good! We can understand the word sometimes with

the clues we can find in a sentence.

Now that you are done assembling all the pieces of pictures and I think our lesson for
providing meanings of the underlined words given to you what today is all about context
do you think is our lesson this morning? clues ma’am.

EXPLAIN

You got it right _____! Our lesson this morning is all about
Writing an Independent Critique of a Chosen Selection with the
help of Context Clues.
Developing
Mastery Context clues are hints found within a sentence, paragraph, or
passage that a reader can use to understand the meanings of new
or unfamiliar words. This clues are very helpful especially when
we are critiquing a literary piece or a story.

And for us to know more about how to write an independent

critique I will give a fact sheet to each group. With the same
group you will discuss among your members the contents of
those fact sheets given to you. After 15 minutes, I will select 2
representatives from each team to discuss your works.

For Team Kind, you are assigned to discuss what is a critical

analysis up to the summary part of making a critical analysis.
For Team Brave, you are going to discuss about the analysis and
conclusion part of making an critical analysis. And for the last
group you will be discussing about how the tone and mood
contribute to the theme of the story and what are the things to
consider when making an independent critique.

Critique ( Critical Analysis)

 is a an in-depth evaluation of a story, novel, film or

other reading/ viewing materials for the purpose of
giving the public an insight into the text.
 It seeks to shed light on the content of a “text” (the story,
novel, song, movie, etc.) in order to help future readers
or viewers understand better the material we can read or
watch next.

A critique could be : a critical essay, an article evaluating a

literary piece or a review.

Why do we need to critique a literary work?

 To know its overall value
 To determine the work’s strengths and weaknesses
Parts of A Critique

1. Introduction

 State the title of the work and the author’s thesis.

 Outline the main . ideas and identify the author’s thesis
 State your own thesis statement and your main idea
about the story. (objective)
 (Your own conclusion) - subjective

2. Summary
 Summarize the text in your own words (objective)

3. Analysis
 State what you like and do not like about the text
 Interpret and evaluate the text based on:
 How the text is organized
 The style and rhetoric
 How effective the message is
 Whether or not the author did justice to the
message
 How the text appealed to its target audience

4. Conclusion

 Restate your thesis in new words

 Summarize your main ideas if possible, with new and
stronger words
 Include a call to action (Subjective)

Critique also contains a careful evaluation mainly on the

elements of narrative. Mood and tone are two literary elements
that help create the main idea of a story. The mood is the
atmosphere of the story, and the tone is the author's attitude
towards the topic. We can identify both by looking at the
setting, characters, details, and word choices

Tone refers to the attitude a writer conveys toward the subject

matter and the reader. The tone of a document can affect how
the reader perceives the writer's intentions. These
perceptions, in turn, can influence the reader's attitude toward
the text and the writer. Mood is the feeling you get while
reading a story. This could be happiness, sadness, darkness,
anger, suspicion, loneliness, or even excitement.

Things to consider when writing an independent critique:

a. Avoid introducing your ideas by stating “ I think” or “in my

opinion” because this weakens the analysis.

b. Always introduce the work. Do not assume that the readers

know what you are writing about and that you don’t need to
mention some details anymore.

c. To be able to write a good critique and help readers

 understand the story, you yourself should know well what you
are writing about.

Thank you so much presenters! That was a very good

explanation. I can see that you are all ready to write an
independent critique.

Finding Practical ELABORATE

Applications of
Concepts This time, you are going to work with your groupmates. With
the same group, make your own independent critique of the
story titled “ The Aged Mother” following the format presented
in our discussion. Your critique will be rated based on the given
rubric.

Making
Generalization Around of applause for yourselves because you have now
and Abstraction learned about how to write an independent critique.

This time, please take a look with this picture and read the text
at the top.

( students will read)

What do you think is the message behind this saying class? As I watch the video
being presented a while
ago ma’am, I realized
that this saying means
that a person gains
wisdom as he or she
ages. The "crown of
snow" indicates white
hair.

Precisely ___! When the despotic King said this line he realized Yes teacher. They are
that elders has lots of experience that made them wise and more than a mother
strategic at as time goes by. In your own opinion or as a when they take care of
students, do you think that elders has important roles in our us, and they have lots of
lives? advices base on their
own experience that will

individual. There are lot
of things that they are
knowledgeable enough
that we cannot learn in
school.

They deserve all our

love and care because
that’s the only way to
make them happy in
their last short period of
time living in this world.

As a student, how important is your knowledge in making a I think ma’am that

critique especially to this kind of situation? critiquing would help me
to see the bright side of
the author’s idea. As
what we have discussed
earlier, critiquing a
selection is not just
about finding the
selections’ weaknesses
but to see the shadow of
its strength. And with
this, I learned to
appreciate the deep
meaning of the selection,
which is to cherish
everything with our love
ones because time is
very limited,
