People were sheltered to only know a certain culture which is their own and now we can appreciate everyone’s culture by taking the time and effort to get to know this specific culture from another country. It takes months for a message in this country to reach the other one. We were all divided before globalization has started. I feel the need to say that she may have written this story in order to give a lesson and showcase how multiculturism has changed society over the years. When her story describes places, you can feel that you have visited that spot before and so on. When her story describes food, you can feel your taste buds tingle in delight.
She pulls you in with her paragraphs that’s easy to imagine and feel. She’s able to create stories that make you feel like you’re in the story itself. I admire Merlinda Bobis for creating beautiful imagery in her prose. She has performed some of her works as theatre, dance, and music. Her plays have been produced/performed on stage and radio in Australia, the Philippines, Spain, USA, Canada, Singapore, France, China, Thailand, and the Slovak Republic. She has published novels, short stories, dramas, and poems. As a child, her main interest was painting, but at age ten she began writing poetry because ‘painting with words’ was cheaper. Very much! Merlinda Bobis, an Australian-Filipino writerĪward-winning writer Merlinda Bobis grew up in Albay, the Philippines at the foot of an active volcano, which figures prominently in her writing and performance. I am genuinely happy that this story is a different case! This is a parable that I appreciate so much. My cup of tea! Finally! I initially thought this was going to be the same story as the other stories in the textbook, the usual literary selections that happen to be in the book even though they don’t really make sense.
