FOOTNOTE TO YOUTH
By: Jose Garcia Villa

Sitting ; in a province and a farm or yard.

Character ;
a.i.1. Dodong-main character of the story who got married at the age of 17
a.i.2. Teang-regretted marrying at an early age
a.i.3. Lucio-Teang's other suitor who got married after she did and who's childless until now
a.i.4. Blas-Dodong and Teang's oldest son who followed their footsteps in the end.
a.i.5. Blas contemplated to marry Tona when he was 18
a.i.6. Tona--woman whom Blas wants to marry.

Plot ;
Dodong wanted to marry Teang and asked his father's permission. Thinking that since they are young, their love would be short, he allowed them to get married. After nine months, Teang gave birth to a child named Blas. For six consecutive years, a new child came along. Teang did not complain even though she secretly regretted being married at an early age. Sometimes she even wondered if she would have the same life if Lucio, her other suitor who was nine years older than Dodong, was the one she married. Lucio has had no children since the time he married. When Teang and Dodong were twenty they looked like they were fifty.
When Blas was 18, he told his father that he would marry Tona. Dodong did not object, but tried to make Blas think twice before rushing to marriage - because Dodong doesn't want Blas to end up like him.

Point of view ;
Omniscient Point of View-the author observes but does not participate in the story. He or she includes the actions, thoughts, and feelings of all characters. He or she makes use of the pronouns he, she, and they.

    When Lindo turned the age of two, she was engaged to marry Tyan-yu who was one year old at the time. When her family's house was destroyed by a flood, Lindo left her mother to live with Tyan-yu and his family while her's lived with other relatives. Over a time period of about 4 years, Lindo began to forget who she was and where she came from partly because of Huang Taitai's supervision. Since she didn't want to be in the marriage, she cleverly devised a plot to escape from her awful commitment with Tyan-yu. She told Huang Taitai that their ancestor is going to give their family three forewarnings that Lindo and Tyan-yu should not be married. First, a black. finger-print sized mark on Tyan-yu's back will start to eat away at his flesh. Lindo saw this mark ever since she had been sleeping with him as if they were brother and sister. Secondly, the tooth in Lindo's mouth, which had rotted and fallen out four years ago, had disappeared. She said "He said my teeth would start to fall out one by one, until I could no longer protest leaving this marriage." (Tan 61) Lastly, Lindo proclaimed that the servant girl has already been chosen to be Tyan-yu's true wife, and that a seed has already been planted into her. Unknowingly to Huang Taitai, Lindo had seen the servant girl speaking to a delivery man who had actually impregnated her. After receiving a ticket to Peking, she married Tin Jong and had three children, Winston, Vincent, and Waverly.…

    In her 1963 book, A Feminine Mystique, Betty Friedan wrote, “As she made the beds, shopped for groceries, matched slipcover material, ate peanut butter sandwiches with her children, chauffeured Cub Scouts and Brownies, lay beside her husband at night—she was afraid to ask even of herself the silent question—‘Is this all?’”1. As a result of the constantly glaring of the classic “housewife” from magazines such as Good Housekeeping and members of the government such as Governor Adlai Stevenson, women in the 50s were expected to maintain a reserved lifestyle, which led to lonely dissatisfaction and an internal yearning for a different routine.…

    Throughout time the Greek community has had to put up with the assumptions that society has about them. Stereotypes include partying until the break of dawn, drinking like there’s no tomorrow, and hazing their new members in order as a requirement to join. Watching movies over the years that are about Fraternities and Sororities put that image about Greek Life into my head, because most movies interpret them to act a certain way. Yet not many know that Greeks each have their own philanthropy, a charity of their choice, to which they raise money for. Is Hollywood part of the reason why Greeks have fallen under that cliché? This is why I decided to look further into this topic due to the fact that I wanted to see if Hollywood has this ability to have a negative outlook on Greek Life.…

It’s true that most of the teenagers today who got married are experiencing hardships in life. Footnote to youth is the title of the story. It is said that it is a footnote to youth because it is a brief reminder for the Filipinos especially the youth of what a real life could be today. It also indicates the sources or the causes why youth act this way. It furthermore adds comment, whether it is a positive or negative, on today’s generation. Yes it is suitable to the story because it gives a warning for those apathetic youth that one’s committed mistake because of their stubbornness. The story is all about Dodong who got married despite of his father’s objection. His love with Teang made him decide to get married even he is only seventeen. The series of events in the story was in causal order that made the story very clear in the mind of the readers. It explains well the reason and cause that forced Dodong to act as he does which also affects the development of the main character’s personality. The psychological setting changes as it affects the character’s personality in the story. When Dodong was young he thought he’s right in insisting to get married with Teang even both of them are still young. But he started to understand things that should not be when Teang gave birth to their first child, Blas. He was ashamed to his parents of his youthful paternity.
