My thoughts on the story Bread of Salt, my idea is i think that the bread of salt that is referred in the story is the girl that the 14 year old boy liked. Because at first the girl is like the bread to him, well essentially its a metaphoric thing to describe that girl on the point of view of the 14 year old boy. So basically at first he looks at the girl like bread that feeds life to him. When your at that stage in life that you are beginning to see things somewhat differently,and that the girl of your dreams is almost everything to you, you tend to very romantic and feel that you know everything about her. even you just see her passing bay and other mushy things and stuffs, but in reality you don't even have the guts to talk to her face to face well every guy goes to that stage I think. At the end of the story the boy realized that the bread that he liked suddenly became salty all of a sudden because of that one particular incident. So my guess is that the bot got smacked in the face by reality, that not everything in this world does not go as well as we expect I specifically experienced that first hand and it really suck and I mean really SUCKS!!

Well on the story May Day Eve, honestly i didn't like it that much. Because I think its just about superstitious belief that we Filipinos are so accustomed too. The story evolved in this 2 character named Aguida and Badoy and there regretful relationship so to speak. I say this because they call each other the devil and a witch, even for a metaphor its kinda to harsh if if you think of it really. Translate it in our time they call them (btihc) and (man hroe) its spelled differently you just have to figure it out. I feel like there relationship with each other is like hell and at the end of it all they both regret it. Come to think of it the moral of the story is that people shouldn't expect to much so that they wont regret to much in the end , because iI believe that in life we shouldn't expect we should just hope.

Maybe some or most of you must be wondering why i made the title a Bread of Salt on May Day Eve. As they say that may is the best month for couples thats what they say so i just made it a little interesting make the best month for couples be the chance for them to taste each others bread of salt. hehe
