GUNO AND KOYO

There are three reasons why I the two stories.One of the reasons was I am not bored when reading the story such that I can relate in every words that it contains. Another reason was that the two Stories owned an impact that will encourage the reader to read it from beginning up to the emd. The last reason was because I am curious to know the characters more and where does the story takes place. The first place that was mentioned in the story of Guno amd Koyo was the old mans house.The end of the story took place in the unflooded river .Guno and Koyo tried to rob the properties of the old mans house during night time.It was already the middle of the night when Guno and koyo reached the unflooded river .There are two events in the story.The first one was Guno persuaded Koyo to go with him to rob an old Hadji.They crept in the night to the old mans house and began to dig a hole under the wall .when,the hole was large enough for a man to enter ,Guno crawled through . He Silently gathered the valuables of the sleeping hadji and handed them out through the hole to Koyo,who piled them neatly on the ground .Guno dont want the robe to become dirty thats why instead of going through the hole,he went to the door .Koyo,expecting Guno to appear through the hole ,was startled. Seeing the dignified robed figure coming out of the door he thought it was the hadji,and that Guno was still inside.``Ai!The hadji was behind him,hastily threw his new robe away and fled after Koyo because the two of them

made so much noise fleeing through the village,the neighbors were awakened ,and they come out with sticks and sickles to pusue them .Otherwise ,the second event in the story was when Guno and Koyo ran across the open fields until they come panting the edge of the river Guno held his breath,closed his eyes and loaped from the rocky ledge .but but the riverbed was dry ,there was no water in it at all and Guno fell into the grawel and stones below guno was embarrassed .So he began to make swimming motions with his hands and kegs as he lay on the bottom of the dry riverbed and he called out to Koyo that its fine below.So Koyo ,too ,took a deep breath ,closed his eyes and leaped from the ledge .He landed next to Guno ,spraling in the dry river gravel.The mood of the story was exciting and terror.The point of view in the story was the persona .another story that I like best was entitled ``Paper Boat its story took place in a nipa hut .The story arises everyday .The event in the story was when the little boy made three paper boats that was never able to float.The mood of the story was curious and unhappy.The point of view in the story was the persona . The character of the story ``Guno and Koyowre the those the two names in the title .The conflict in this story was when the people in the village came out with sticks and sickles to pursue them .Otherwise,the characters in the story Paper

Boat were the small boy the mother ,Miling ,Aling Berta,Mang Pedring ,Aling Ading Feli, Tering ,and Pepe.The conflict in this story was when the small boy teeps insisting to ask his mother if his father was in their home already. The plot in the story ``Guno and Koyowas when Guno persuaded Koyo to gi with him to rob an old hadji .They crept in the night to the old mans house and began to dig a hole under a the wall .The theme in this story was whenever a person tries to get out of a predicament by a ridiculous act someone is sure to say ``dont go swimming in a dry riverbedotherwise,the plot in the story Paper Boat Was with every step away from the nipa hut and the small farm that was their home, The small boy moved farther and farther away from his childhood.The theme of this story Was that we ``we need to convey our feelings Specially our love to our love ones.We also Need to be strong to be able to overcome all the problems we encounter. Why Guno and Koyo is better than Paper Boat? It is because this story was more exciting than that of the Paper Boat.Other reason is that it focus to the two main characters without any other non-ruled ideas .The last reason was because the words used in this story is more easy to understand than those words that is use in Paper Boat. I really appreciated the three elements of the story. The first one was the title; it seems that the story evolved between "Guno and Koyo".Another

element was it"s theme which tells that a person can't get out of a predicament by a ridiculous act.It's better to apologize to those persons that you have such sin rather than make some ridiculous actions just to get out of it.The last element was it's characters which captivated my mind due to such reasons that I can imagine the scenes in the story.
