 SILENT TRAILS

Silent trails
Silent are the trails of Benguet hills,
When the mist veils the sun -
Even when the wind stirs the ferns
And the bamboo brakes sing
Their echoed murmurs.
And the laden Benguet women pass;
Beating their pakkongs*
In cadenced monotones.
Even so,
These trails are lonely...
And deep are the ravines,
And higher still the skies
 Interpretation of the Poem
Literal Meaning

This poem talks about the silent atmosphere of the

Benguet Hills, and because of this you can only
hear the music that is produced by nature. Like the
movement of ferns caused by the wind, the echoes
of colliding bamboos and the sound of the
pakkongs that the women beat as they pass by the
trails. It also talks about the beautiful nature you
can find as you walk along the trails of Benguet
Hills.
Deep Meaning

The poem expresses that the lonely atmosphere of the

Benguet Hills is the same as a lonely person. A person
who is lonely is always silent; just like the Benguet Hills
was described in the poem. As we go deeper in the trails
we discover new things, just like when we find out a
lonely person's thoughts. We discover their true feelings
and emotions that they are keeping in because they do
not have anyone to share them with.
 Read the sentences below and identify
which has literal and figurative meaning.

a. I’m so hungry, I could eat a horse.

b. She is as fast as a cheetah!

c. He was late to dinner

 LITERAL AND
FIGURATIVE LANGUAGE.
Literal language is used to mean exactly
what is written.
For example:

“It was raining a lot, so I rode the bus.”

In this example of literal language, the writer means

to explain exactly what is written: that he or she
chose to ride the bus because of the heavy rain.
 Figurative language is used to mean something
other than what is written, something
symbolic, suggested, or implied.

For example:

It was raining cats and dogs, so I rode the bus.

In this example of figurative language, there were not

actually cats and dogs falling from rain clouds, instead, the
rain felt so heavy and large that it was almost as if small
animals were falling from the sky!
Let’s Try!
Identify the phrases as literal or figurative
and explain why.
1. That dog is a clown; it makes us laugh all the time.

2. They are as busy as bees.

3. The sky is pale blue with few clouds.

Give the meaning of gestures above.
A gesture is a form of non-verbal communication
in which visible bodily actions communicate
messages, either in place of, or in conjunction with,
speech. It includes movement of the hands, face, or
other parts of the body.

Gesture is a fundamental component of language that

contributes meaningful and unique information to a
spoken message and reflects the speaker’s underlying
knowledge and experiences.

Gestures You should be using to improve your
communication skills
