the stories "love in the cornhusks" and "the corral" is pretty much alike. its about making choices. people always ask me "if ever, sino mas pipiliin mo?un mahal mo, pero di ka mahal? o un mahal ka, pero?"-this example would give you a hint of what the two stories are all about. btw, my answer to the question is, WALA! these stories also shows how women were treated before.
Love in the Cornhusks-
this story is about a woman who thought that her love of her life named Amado left her already and married a man for the reason that she needs someone to help her take care of her child. unexpected, Amado wrote a letter to her saying that he still loves her but it was too late because she's already married to another man. the thing that struck me the most in this story is when Tinang married another guy for the reason that she needs someone to take care of her child. its very different now a days, a lot of women are raising their child alone today. its just sad to think that women before are not that strong to raise a child on their own. i mean what if they don't find anyone who would be with them? its a good thing now women are much more powerful now compared to before.
The Corral-
this story is about a girl named Pilar. the conflict of the story is about making a choice for herself. Pilar liked gregorio but he doesn't seem to like her. but another man, Mr.Perfecto liked her and he thinks he's the right guy for Pilar. at first Pilar didn't believe Mr. Perfecto, but when she started to realize that gregorio isn't the right guy for him, she started to think that Mr. Perfecto was right all along. another sad story for me, ganun ba kaimportante ang mga lalake dati? because if i was Pilar, i won't force myself to like a person just to have someone take care of me.
