genres of literature. Specially, the discussion focused on
the difference between comedy and tragedy.

Comedy is a literary piece that is dramatic
but amusing or entertaining at the same

how to make a salad because it uses words that we
normally use in everyday life
It makes the instruction easier to understand. Right? Yes, Sir!

B. DISCUSSION
Ok, Now let’s proceed

In English language we have two different kinds of language:

The Non-Literary Language and Literary Language.

Non-Literary Language
This is the language which primary purpose
is to give information in precise and accurate ways.
Just like what we have between the instructions 1 and 2,
Instructions 1 gives us the specific language so that we
could understand it well.
The purpose of Non-literary language is to deliver
and send a direct message for the readers.
This is mostly the language we use
in our everyday lives in ways for us to:

 Transact and negotiate relationships

 Transact and negotiate goods and services
 Report on things, events and issues
 Give directions
 Explain
 Analyze
 Argue
 Persuade
 Give opinions

Literary Language
is the language that commonly found in literature. This is the
language that we use when we want to deliver a sentence in very creative way
or artistic way. It is best to avoid using this kind of language in everyday
context to avoid confusion and distraction of a reader or listener from what
the sender is trying to say.

Literary Language is the language that commonly found

in literature. This is the language that we use when we want to
deliver a sentence in very creative way or artistic way. It is best to
avoid using this kind of language in everyday context to avoid
confusion and distraction of a reader or listener from what the
sender is trying to say.
These are the words that use symbolism, metaphors, and
other figurative sense of meaning. In contrary with non-literary, literary
language is using an intelligent and usually formal tone or quality of
words.
This language is in aesthetic, imaginative and engaging
ways and the main purpose are to entertain, to move, to express and
reinforce cultural identity and to reflect one’s view and personality
such as:

 Narrative
 Non-Narrative
 Imaginative recount
 Fairytale
 Cultural story
 Poetry
 Dramatic role-play
 Songs

After the discussion, we are now approaching our destination but before that
let us try this.

DIRECTIONS: Read the poem entitled the “Taj Mahal” written by

Sahir Ludhianvi (translated by Mustansir Dalvi). Pick five lines with
literary language and write your interpretation of the lines on your
quiz notebook/paper and give the non-literal language of each.

TAJ MAHAL by Sahir Ludhianvi (translated by Mustansir Dalvi)

For you, my love, the Taj

may well be the quintessence
of ardour; while full well
may you regard
this exquisite vale. Even so,
dear one, let us meet
someplace else.

What worth, these lowly ones,

loitering in the halls of the lords,
where on every path lie etched
remains of pomp and glory?
What worth then, the passing
of lovelorn souls?

My love, behind the veils

of love’s proud proclamations,
did you see the signs
of imperious grandeur?
You, who revel
in mausoleums of dead kings,
 did you not heed the dark hovels
that fostered us?

Beyond count are those, in this world

who have lived and loved.
Could anyone deny the truth
of their passions?
But they, like us, stay destitute,
without the means
to erect monuments to their love.

These edifices, these tombs,

these battlements, these forts,
haughty relics
of the conceit of emperors
are left behind like resilient creepers
on the face of the world,
seeped in the blood
of our forefathers.

My love, those artful hands

who created this beauty
would have lived
and loved too; but their lovers
are long gone, nameless,
without a trace.
To this day, no one has lit
a candle in their memory.

The lush gardens and palaces,

the Yamuna’s edge;
the exquisitely carved portals,
the arches and niches,
the handiwork of the one
emperor who, buttress’d
by infinite wealth
has mocked our very love,
our impoverish'd, destitute love.

Even so, my love,

let us meet
someplace else.

C. GENERALIZATION

Let us go back. If you were not able to overcome the waves of the ocean, you
have to go back so that you may endure the strong wind and big waves. Students:
In every word, there
could be two languages
What did you learn today? that may be used;
NONLITERARY
LANGUAGE and
LITERARY
LANGUAGE”. NON-
LITERARY
LANGUAGE is the
language that we use in
our everyday
conversation. This is the
language that we can
easily understand
because they are just
simple and very straight
to the point.

While LITERARY
LANGUAGE is the
language that we use
when we want to deliver
a sentence in very
dramatic or artistic
ways. This language is
really important in
literature. When we
want to express
ourselves in very
creative way, we can
really use Literary
Language. When we
want to make a poem or
song, literary language
shall be used.

Very Good!
