ABSTRACT
Morning in the bario of Nagrebcan, there was a boy named Baldo who went out
of their house to play with their dogs, suddenly his younger brother ambo joined
him, Ambo wanted to play with one specific dog it's the black spotted puppies,
but Baldo claimed that black spotted it as his own. So he didn't allow Ambo to
play with that puppy, as a result of argument and fight, while they were fighting,
Ambo's hand got bit by the puppy, his hand started bleeding,
Hearing the argument of Baldo and Ambo, the boy's father, Tang Ciaco looked
out the window, he saw Ambo's bleeding, he rashly go out of the house, soon
after he checked his son, he grabbed a piece of firewood, and started beating the
puppy who soon died, after that, he turned his anger to the boys and beat them
as well.
The mother of the boys, Nana Elang, went out also to rescue her sons to their
father, afterwards, Nana Elang doing household chores, with Tang Ciaco getting
ready to go for his work, and the two boys finding the dead puppy and giving it a
burial.
Thesis Statement: In “The Morning in Nagrebcan,” Manuel E. Arguila uses
the symbolism of the morning serves as a time of renewal, to covey themes
embodying the idea that every new day presents a fresh establishing and a risk
for rejuvenation.
Introduction: Manuel E. Arguilla’s “Morning in Nagrebcan” tells a story of a
family with a dog and its young puppies living in Katanyaghan Hills. The family is
comprised of Tang Ciaco (father), Nana Elang (mother) and the two sons, Ambo
and Baldo. It is dawn in Nagrebcan, Nana Elang consistently doing her obligation
as a housewife while Ambo and Baldo were in a fierce fight and the root cause
was the foolish act of Ambo eating the whole banana without peeling the skin of
it. Baldo insist Ambo not to eat the banana with peelings and eventually, the
rivalry between the two brothers arose.
Analysis of plot: "A Morning in Nagrebcan" by Manuel E. Arguilla is a short
story set in a rural village in the Philippines. The plot revolves around a young
boy named Baldo who accompanies his older brother, Ambo, to fetch the dead
puppy. Baldo observes the world around him with a mix of innocence and
curiosity. The plot explores themes of family, tradition, and the contrast between
rural and urban life.
Character of analysis: Baldo is a dynamic character because, despite the
death of his beloved puppy due to his brother Ambo, he had a transformation
along the narrative. As the oldest son, he is a blameworthy child, an animal lover,
and a decent son who obeys his mother. He stands for purity and obedience.
Ambo, his younger brother, shares Baldo's traits, however, unlike his violent
sibling when he attacked Baldo, he is a calm individual who adores animals.
Being an odd child, Ambo ate the banana without peeling it. Ambo and Baldo's
mother, Nana Elang, was a devoted wife and mother to her husband as well as
her kids. She represents the sacrifices made by women for their families and
their vulnerability in traditional Filipino society. The difficulties faced by women in
rural communities are emphasized by her character. Tang Ciako, the father of
Ambo and Baldo, is an irresponsible father who abuses his wife and sons, lacks
empathy, is impatient and hot-headed, is an alcoholic, and is violent in both
immerse readers in the rural Philippine village of Nagrebcan, enhancing the
atmosphere and adding depth to the narrative.
Contextual Analysis: Morning In Nagrebcan by Manuel E. Arguilla offers an
insightful exploration of life in rural Philippine village, Particularly focusing on the
daily activities and relationships among its inhabitants, especially the children.
Through detailed descriptions and subtle language, Arguilla captures the
essence of rural existence, addressing themes like innocence, family ties, and
the challenges of poverty. Nagrebcan serves as a microcosm reflecting broader
issues in rural Philippine society, Including economic difficulties and cultural
traditions.
Conclusion: This story tells about a remarkable day in the life of two brothers,
ten-year old, Baldo and Ambo one beautiful sunny day at a farm land in
Nagrebcan. Meanwhile, the younger one, Ambo, about seven years old woke up
and he also wanted to play with the puppy that his older brother Baldo was
playing, parent’s duties may be challenging, but they might discipline their
children with respect, we face many challenges every single day, but at the end
of the day, we will conquered them, every morning is a blessing, so do your day
productive and always put GOD in your centerpiece, to not lead you to a wrong
doings.
The lesson in this story is, control your anger, don’t let it control you, don’t act
rapidly, you’ll regret it later.
