class?

Now, to test whether you really

understood the story, I will be
asking questions now.

1. Can anyone of you can identify

the characters and describe them
based on the video?
Follow up: Is there anything in the
character that is similar to you? If
yes, how did you manifest it?
Follow up: Are there traits of the
characters that you wish to have?
Possible Answers:
 The Doctor, sir. He
doesn’t have a strong
and appealing traits in
the story since he only
did a monitoring on the
illness of Johnsy.
 Old Behrman, sir. He is
the neighbour of Sue and

2. How did the theme, sacrifice
manifest in the story?
Excellent answers, class. I think
you are now ready to answer our
motive question.
Abstraction Motive Question:
(Day 1) “Will you sacrifice everything for
the happiness of others? Why or
why not?”
Johnsy. He is very artistic
because he is a painter.
He is also a good person
because he sacrificed his
life just to give courage
to Johnsy as she is
already losing her will to
live.
 Sue, sir. She is very
caring and patient. She
tends to get mad at
Johnsy because she’s
really concerned on her
sister.
 Johnsy, sir. She is sickly
sir. She was hopeless
when she knew that
she’s weakening. She
lost her will to live
knowing that she will die
because of her illness.
 The theme, sacrifice was
manifested by the action
of Sue and Old Behrman.
In the case Sue, she
sacrificed her time to
take a good care of
Johnsy. She is also doing
her best to sustain their
need. However, in Old
Behrman’s case, he is
very considerate and
courageous to sacrifice
his life just to paint a
realistic painting on the
wall just to give Johnsy a
will to live. Old Behrman
painted the painting
while raining, not to
mention, he is already
suffering pneumonia
that time. So just to give
Johnsy a will to live, he
sacrificed his life just for
the benefit of Johnsy.
 Yes, because to make
people happy, it makes
me happy to. So I will not
hesitate to sacrifice
because time will come, I
too will need help and to
 those whom I helped will
help me as well.
 Yes. To spread love and
kindness is what I believe
that the world needs the
most. If we are able to
sacrifice even a little, we
can make a difference.
And if we do good and
make people happy, we
can influence others to
be better too.
