Puppy love by
Francisco Sionil Jose. The author Francisco is best known for his epic work. The story talked
about an innocent kind of love and mistaking it for true love. The story
started that there was this village boy who fell in love with the daughter of
the richest man in town, and the boy fell inlove with the girl at an early age
so it is called puppy love.
Then,the war came and they were separated the boy's
most lasting memory was that morning they went to their rice bodega to play. There
was a big rattan basket where the grain was stored. They climbed into it. The
girl was reading Wuthering Heights and eating an apple, the boy was very poor
he had never tasted an apple before.
The story ended that the boy and the girl are still
inlove with each other even tho they are been seperated for years and not
seeing each other. But the love lasted because the boy got married to another
girl so all the love of the boy is now into his wife. The story puppy love was
an unique story for me. It taught me that, there is no lasting love.
Jacobo Salcedo a.k.a Jake is an a
successful and rich lawyer but came from a poor family . He is
inspired and motivated to be sucessful to fulfill his dreams and goals in life
so that he could have a better life.
Gina Garcia was a mestiza, she’s fluent in speaking Spanish, and loves to
read novels and her favorite is Wuthering Heights. Gina came from a rich family
who owns a big hacienda in San Jacinto but lost their wealth due to war.
The
two characters are the one who is inlove with each other in an early age and
early stage. And they called it puppy love because it refers to falling in love
at a very young age, the feeling was there for a long time but it wasn't true love after all.
The author Francisco Sionil Jose wrote puppy love so
that the readers would learn some lesson about the story and to know the real
meaning of puppy love. The settings in the stroy is in the twon of San Jacinto
where Gina and Jake grow and met.
The setting changed the behavior of the character,
like Jake Salcedo when he moved in the city of Manila, when he moved in the
city, he was inspired to be a better and a ricch person. He finished his
studies there and became a lawyer.
It gets told by narrating the detailed story of puppy
love and I can easily identify who are the characters, the setting, the climax
and the lesson that is being told also. I can identify it by reading and
understading the story, well the story is can be easily understood by who is
reading it. It is a simple yet unique
story I’ve read. The author Francisco Jose worte a story that everyone can
relate to because it is all about love. And everyone in the world has love.
The information that the narrator is giving me is
really helping me to understand more the story being read. The narrator
detailed the important happenings in the story. I can easily understand it
well.
The informations revealed in the story are its
settings, characters, plot, climax, and the lesson its teaching and telling me
and the readers also. One lesson I got is that never miss any chances in life.
Because chances are not unlimited.
The one telling the story is the narrator or it can be
the one who is reading the story. The speaker itself can relate to the story.
The purpose of the title puppy love is having a love in an early age or being inlove in an
early stage but the feelings lasted but its not true love. Title itself
decribes the summary of the story
The title is being related to the story because
simply, it is all about love.
An image symbolizes the story while im reading it is an image of the clock that
is 12am in the morning. Meaning that its too early, its too early for
everything especially its too early being inlove.
The story is very easy to understand because it has no deep words and other
languages that I dont understand, only
english language is being used in the story. Maybe it has no deep words but the
story has a very deeper meaning and it can give me and the readers some lessons
not only in love but in life also. It is teaching me to strive harder in life
so that I could my goals and dreams in the future. And it also teach me not to
waste any chances in life, because chances only comes once in our lives.
The story puppy
love is a clear point that has a meaning of having love in an early age and
early stage in life, the love lasted but its not true love. The story isnt hard
to discover its true meaning because the title speaks already itself.
The author Francisco Sionil Jose is telling us to read

I was surprised in the scene where Jake saw Gina in a
bar as a hostess but still Jake didnt take advantage to her even tho Jake still
love Gina that time.
