Irony of Love

You set foot in a world of unknown Confused on the verity that’s within

Eyes gazed upon you You amble on a menacing path like it was nothing

Bravery and intelligence seen upon you Cohorts see you high.

Unexpected gests bestide I don’t know what to do

My heart flatters when I see you Reverie with you transpire

Eyes always in you But I didn’t lose sight.

You became my inspiration Books became my best buddy

Teased for being a swot Didn’t care as long as you espy me.

Finally, you descried me My heart beats in a gallop

I was the happiest demoiselle But ended in a split of time.

A lover you have in a long time Breaks my heart into peices

Fakes myself for your felicity How ironic life is.

But still, feelings didn’t fade I still see you like I always do

So close, yet so far How ironic it is.

Critique of "Footnote to Youth" by Jose Garcia Villa

The story Footnote to Youth by Jose Garcia Villa serves as a reminder or a message to the youth unto what will happen to them if they engage early marriage, like what Dodong did.

It tells in the story about the life of a young boy(Dodong) who wishes or dreams to marry the girl of his life(Teang) at such young age for he really loves her, thinking that at the age of 17 he’s already a grown-up man and can already fulfill his duties and responsibilities as a husband and a father. But then as soon as he was having his first child, he then realized how hard it is being a husband and uncomfortable it is having a child. He then suddenly felt ashamed of his parents of his youthful paternity. But then, he still stood up and face his responsibilities like a strong man.

Teang on the other hand somehow regretted engaging to such thing because of how hard their life is but she didn’t complain because what’s done is done, we can’t do anything about it. There is another suitor of her, Lucio, which is nine years older than them and is already married but still chose Dodong which is seventeen because love wins.

The feeling Dodong got when he was telling his father about wanting to have a marriage, more like forcing his father because his father didn’t answered him directly, he then felt it when his son, Blas, because he said the same thing to him. Now he understand why his father was like that. His father knew it would be too hard to be married at such young age.

It’s just like a cycle. Dodong’s father got married early, so as Dodong, and his son, Blas. If no one will stop their son/daughter from marrying early then, this cycle won’t stop. History will just keep repeating itself.

Well, that’s what I understand about the story. It is because the story isn’t really well-organized. Reasons are:

1. Some of the statements are repeated and placed not suited or are not related to the previous statements or paragraphs nor to the preceeding statements. Examples are: “He wished as he look at her that he had a sister who could help his mother in the housework.” This statement was first stated after the first paragraph of the story. This made me really confused unto why this was suddenly brought up. Like where was this coming from? This wasn’t connected to the previous nor the preceeding statements and then after further reading, in the 14th paragraph, the part when his mother started removing the dishes, the quoted statement was then again stated and that’s when I realized that the statement is repeated. Some examples are: “Must you marry, Dodong?” “Dodong resented his father’s question; his father himself had married early.” “All right, Dodong.” “Life did not fulfill all of youth’s dreams. Why it must be so? Why one must be forsaken after love?”

2. The story suddenly shifted from one person to another. For example, the part: “Teang did not complain,…” paragraph. The paragraph was telling about Teang then suddenly the second to the last sentence shifted to Dodong. The 3rd to the last sentence was “But she loved Dodong… in the moonlight, tired, and querulous.” then the next sentence suddenly state “He wanted to ask questions and somebody to answer him. He wanted to be wise about many thins.” From she to he real quick.

3. The punctuation marks and the spellings of the words are not right. Examples are: when Dodong asked his parents how was Teang after giving birth, it stated here “Teanf?” instead of Teang. In the “Teang did not complain,…” paragraph, the phrase “There had neen another suitor,…” it should be been instead of neen. Another in the same paragraph, the “There was interminable work that kept her tied up. Cooking, laundering. The house. The children.” Well, for me, it should be “There was interminable work that kept her tied up: cooking, laundering, the house, and the children.” Another is in the paragraph “One of them was why life did not fulfill of the youth’s dream. Why it must be so. Why one was forsaken… after love.” The punctuation marks of every last sentence should be question mark because it is a question, not a statement.

4. The point of view is not clear because majority of the story is in the third person point of view but there are parts that it is stated in the first POV. Examples are: “I will tell him. I will tell him.” which is in the third paragraph. Another is “I’ll… come up.” which is stated in the part when he decided to stand up and go to his wife.

The story should be written well-organized so that the reader will properly understand it. On the other hand, the story is indeed beautiful, I even like the part “Why life did not fulfill all of youth’s dreams? Why it must be so? Why one must be forsaken after love?” It made me think deeply unto why life is like that and why should we give up something for the sake of love. Does it really matter? Does love really that important? Yes love is important, we all need that, but we should be patient, we shouldn’t be stubborn like Dodong. If you love someone and want to marry her, don’t marry her immediately, marry her at the right time. Marry her when you are ready, when the both have a stable job. When you have fulfilled your duties as a son and a daughter, like helping your family first. Wait for the right time and for the right person because you don’t know that love of yours in your teenage days is just merely a puppy love, she might not be the right one for you.
