Bantugan, the Prince
(An excerpt)
Narrator 1: It all started from the kingdom of Bumbaran, where destruction was conspired to be brought, the tale of brilliant Prince Bantugan was told from one person to another ‘til it reached to their rival in terms of territory and power, and that mighty men were gathered endlessly to sail across the sea to find the prince who was said to have vanished and now dead.
Lady 1 & 2: Farewell my friends, I suppose we should go now. (Bow)
Makalayan: O datos, I regret to put an end to these festivities, but a new peril threatens us! I went down and I gazed across the sea half filled with foreign vintas. Enemies are sweeping down upon us, since they think that Bantugan, our strong fortress, was now dead. With my glass I recognized the vintas of Miscoyaw
Narrator 2: People were shocked with panic as they hear the name of Miscoyaw who threatened to cause destruction to Bumbaran. They set down toward the river’s mouth and flew beheld the sea, all full of vintas, simply drawing down the shore.
Dato: Oh my Magaw, come down from heaven and my other diwata dwelling in the clouds if you forbid the sun, it does not rise. So powerful spirits both, I demand you to help me now and do what I command.
Narrator 1 (acting): And as the clouds opened up, Prince Bantugan appeared lifted by the spirits with that dread rattle of his sharp campilan upon his magi shield, shouting like the voice of thunder and splashed the seas with frantic oars. But it was too late, furious Bantugan,

    In the article of “I’m a Banana and Proud of It”(Choy,1997) explains the reason why he is called a “banana”. Choy begins by expressing his love to his North American citizenship. He mentions that banana means “yellow on the outside and white inside”. In other words, Chinese born in North America behave and act like white people but still look like Asians. Regardless of this nickname Choy believe that it is not a racist term. Likewise, Choy comments that other cultures earn also their own nicknames such as Indians as “apples” and blacks as “Oreo cookies”. As Choy explains what “banana “means, he tells the history of how his parents settled to the BC coast from China. Choy reveals the painful experiences his parents endured when they arrived in North America. Choy’s parents suffered racial bias from North Americans. Moreover, they could not apply for citizenship because of the “Chinese Exclusion laws”. Choy also acknowledges how Chinese people risked their lives during the Second World War, by joining the army. After the war ended, Chinese gained the right to be a North American citizen.…

    “The blind thing in his doubled fury broke/ a hilltop in his hands and heaved it after us./ Ahead of our black prow it struck and sank/ whelmed in a spuming geyser, a giant wave/ that washed the ship stern foremost back to shore./ I got the longest boathook out and stood/ fending us off, with furious nods to all to put their backs into a racing stroke-/ row, row, or perish. So the long oars bent/ kicking the foam sternward, making head/ until we drew away, and twice as far.”(9. 524-534)…

For instance when the men were rowing the oilier and the correspondent saw a man walking on the beach.

    The epic Beowulf was originally passed down generations by word of mouth. It was spoken in Old English by the Anglo-Saxons of England during the years 500 to 1100. Eventually, the epic was written down and added altercations by Christian monks wanting to implement a focus on God and rid the Pagan influence it held. The poem is about a hero by the name of Beowulf. He is a human but contains supernatural powers. This enables him to become a great fighter and leader. Upon hearing of a monster terrorizing a nearby kingdom in Denmark, Beowulf sets sail from Geatland, his homeland, to aid in the killing of this monster, named Grendel. There are a total of three major battles that Beowulf fought throughout the epic; all containing differences, like location, similarities, like outcomes, and a theme of good versus evil.…

    Tannen’s “Fighting for Our Lives” touches on how our culture is seen as an argument culture where there are two distinct sides to an argument seen as being either right or wrong, without a middle ground. The argument culture, Tannen explains, urges us to approach the world in an adversarial frame of mind: the best way to approach any sort of idea, dialogue, or conversation is to set it up as a debate. This tactic does not solve any residing problems, by ignoring what the other person has to say and assuming your opinion is better than them is not going to resolve any issues.“In the argument culture, criticism, attack, or opposition are the predominant if not the only ways of responding to ideas.” According to Tannen we battle for top dog, strive to be the best, and to prove that we are right whether that means to criticize or manipulate words around in order for a feel of self-satisfaction.…

    Since she has gone missing from Tutokanula, he spent many days looking her, but no luck has prevailed for the chief, and since he was gone for so long, the people of his tribe, and he, have left and the land has become unbearable. “When Tisayac returned again to her valley, she was horrified to find it barren and her people gone. When she learned that Tutokanula had forgotten his people, had left them to fend for themselves without the benefit of his great wisdom, and had spent many days and nights searching and longing for her, she cried out in despair. Kneeling upon a mighty dome of rock, Tisayac prayed with all her heart” to the Great Spirit to restore the land to the way it was before she and Tutokanula had left. (Schlosser). Great Spirit has heard her, swooping down from the heavens, “he spread his hands over the valley. The green of new life poured forth over the land; trees blossomed, flowers bloomed, birds sang. Then he struck a mighty blow against the mountains and they broke apart, leaving a pathway for the melting snow to flow through. The water swirled and washed down upon the land, spilling over rocks, pooling into a lake and then wandering afar to spread life to other places. In the valley, the corn grew tall again, and the people came back to their home.” Then Tutokanula had heard…
