The Witch By Edilberto K. Tiempo

*My Analysis 

The per intelligencea, writer, and protagonist in the boloney was an unidentified 12-year-old boy who lived through miscellaneous barrios at a t holds nation sur. He was a strong, round fount. In electrifying with these messages, once I was told to go to Libas with a bottle of respect for Tio Sabelos' wife and I thought he was depicted in the story as an obedient and obedient lad taking smooth shrimps to my mother. As a 12-year-old boy, he was easily influenced by the rumors surrounding him, to the point of believing them with fair evidence to the highest degree. He had been anonymous for missing his own identification. Toward the end, he said the largest, still alive, stick out eyes seemed to blaze at me and then the hagfish's eyes went out. He, himself, became puzzled as to whether it was the supporter of the witches or whether he was almost influenced by the tales. In this case, the poet, Tiempo, was sure-fire in creating a percentage of interweaving that will gain ground for the readers to determine whether or not to believe in much (prenominal) folklore. Minggay Awok had been described as the story's main antagonist. She was portrayed in the tale as the witch and was blamed for each of the ill incidents that occurred in their house. As the story progressed, the readers became aware of her enigmatic character. She had a cruel husband who died earlier, and a son who ran away. In addition, she was portrayed as a dog-tired woman living in causticity and resentment of her deportation. As a supernumerary evidence, her eyes looked extremely young but her mouth seemed to have tasted more bitter years, just a tailor line to a higher position the little chin. Tiempo as well as made a character out of Minggay twisted in reality. Also a rather company ending was rendered with the creation of both its complex characters. I believe that Minggay is not a witch, grounded in the proofs I have poised from the novel.

*Short story/ Summary 

Stories say a witch known as Minggay Awok resides near the creek separating the Libas and Sinitan neighbourhoods. The people were afraid of her unusual presence, lonely life and occasional visits to the barrios. She was still blamed if anything odd happened. So Minggay was often subjected to numerous attempts at killing to avoid the curse she supposedly put on them. And their doubts have never been confirmed. One day, a boy who visits his uncle occasionally in Libas encountered an old woman while fishing in the stream. She was kind enough to drive him to a place where he could get more shrimps. They chatted for a while before the boy actually realized she's the "witch" he  heard of. With the shrimps and the question of his experience with the contrasting sight of the witch with the old woman by the lake, he walked quickly away.

3. Explain the difference of a short story to other forms of literature like poetry, drama, essay, etc.

Answer: Short stories typically concentrate on a single incident or disaster, where novels have far more time for a complicated storyline to explore different incidents. Typically a single occurrence happens within a limited time span, such as a day, but it can be tracked easily over a longer period of time while Literature is the expression, through the written word, of thoughts, ideas and feelings. It is a very personal message transaction between one user, the sender, and any number of others.
