another week has passed and we have finished another two short stories by Francisco Arcellana. In this two stories we will analyze which is more realistic. Is it "The Mats" or "Divide by two".
For me this two stories is about conflicts. just like "The Mats", for me the conflict in this story is when the father opened up the topic about their dead daughters and suddenly he get's mad after reminding himself and his family about that. Second is "Divide by Two", the conflict in here is the couple here i think has a past to each other.
Well the most realistic in this story is "The Mats", because its just normal for filipino family to remember their dead relatives or member of the family. because some of the filipinos today still do that routin that even if one of their family member is dead they still respect the place or stuffs that he/she left.
While "Divide by Two" is least realistic, because the scene of this story is usually seen in a television novel or drama. because it is such a small problem two get mad about the blocks. well as some of class realize that maybe they just used the blocks in order to open their conflict that has passed a long long time ago. To be honest this story is still not clear to me, maybe i just need to read again until i understand the story well.

yeah,, you know i saw this comment(from yahoo something) about the story of divide by two na parang the writter expand and just drew a drama something on that situation(which is they were just having a secret relationship or whatever), though it was an ordinary story parang its a different kind of twist dba? I agree na its really hard to understand but still the words, and the way that the author put conflicts on it. But for the mats, its a kind of story na i wanna share to my kids because it emphasize the importants of the family.
