For example, if a group of learners tell about their favorite pets, and one
learner shares a story about how his dog cuddles every time he comes home
from school, then that learner has just imparted an anecdote. Let's look at how
John Jack Wigley made use of anecdotes in his memoir “Home of the Ashfall”.
To Bring Cheer
Stories pop up anywhere and these are just sometimes making people
laugh to brighten their mood. Here is an example of an anecdote meant to look
back on happy memories:
• At the dinner, a Grade 11 learner shared his story on his first day at
school when he got lost and attended a wrong class.
To Reminisce
In most anecdotes, people are talking about their experiences in the past.
They try to look back on moments in their lives and share the joy of that time
with others. Here is an example of an anecdote with a hint of reminiscence:
• A mother tells her children a story about her life in the province when
she was teenager.
To Caution
Sometimes, just giving rules for individuals is not effective. Sharing to
them frightening stories of dangers can be helpful for them to realize the
possible consequences of their actions. Here is an example of cautionary
anecdote:
To Persuade or Inspire
Sometimes, people share stories on how they surpassed their struggles
in life. These, most of the time, give encouragement to others who have been in
similar situations. The message usually conveys successes in life as a fruit of
hard work. Here is an example of an inspirational anecdote:
• Before beginning a remedial class, the teacher tells the students how a
boy who used to struggle in reading managed to be a proficient reader.
2. Pick out some lines (at least three) wherein the speakers look back at some
of their experiences like the example below:
“Kasi dati, nabubully ako sa school. Ang pumasok lang sa isip ko nun, gumanti.
Siya (KB) yung tutulong sa ‘kin na makipagresbakan, and akala ko nun ano e,
‘makikipagbugbugan’ kami e, sapakan. Tinuruan ako ni KB kung paano maging
Salbabida rin sa iba.”
3. After writing down some of the lines about their memories, compose your
own interpretation of what you think about the story. Write a text tula as a
tribute to the people in the story and acknowledge their share in the society by
helping other people.
