“In the Luneta, all colors blend ‚ the brown and the white and yellow of people; the green and blue and red of shrubs. Towards the sea, the great sward stretches, and the globes of light hang like huge pearls, are caught in the waters of the lake. People flow by, stop and eddy, break and whirl again. Across the pond, a band plays; a balloon breaks loose from some child’s grasp and floats towards an early star. Here, the land lies flat and green, broken only by stone; there, it rises in a series of small hills that hide the curving tips of a pagoda. The doves come, cooing and beating their wings around a man, dressed in a tiger’s suit, and giving away candy. The lovers try not to be conspicuous. A family spreads the contents of a bag — kropeck, juice, biscuits. One mother lies on a mat, unashamedly nursing her baby. On other mats, men and their wives, kicking their heels at the sky. The park guards watch when they can but soon grow weary and give up. The sky is like a canvas washed clean, gray along the edges, and you think, looking over the heads around you, how distant the heat of living is — tonight’s dishes, tomorrow’s bundy clock. Joy is a fitful moment, but better that than nothing.”
It tells us ho people enjoy their lives. Luneta is the historical place in the Philippines. Many people celebrated their birthdays in Luneta, because that place is very wonderful that we treasure. Many families spend their time in Luneta.
ReplyDeleteIt describes us the true meaning of family ties. How they expend more time to each other in the historical place. Color stands for the happiness that they feel when they're together.
ReplyDelete-> As a future educator, we must know the true essence of family, how they live together, love together and the most important is to give time to each other. When we're teaching the elementary students, we must teach them the history of Luneta. And to love their family.
