It was one sunny day at Nagrebcan, and the fine, bluish mist low over the tobacco fields was lifting and thinning moment by moment. A ragged strip of mist had been dragged away by the early air and stuck on the stems of bamboo along the banks of the creek that spread to one side of the barangay. The sun will soon reach the Himontagon Hills, but no one was there yet. The neighborhood was slowly waking up in the gloomy shadow of the hills. Roosters and goats crowded and strutting on the field.
EXPOSITION:
It was just a usual start of the day on Nagrebcan where people start doing their job individually. And then it shows how a very pleasant morning turned into a horrible one just because of a misunderstanding of the two brothers. The innocent little puppy is the object of the conflict between Baldo and Ambo. In which it resulted into its violent death from the hand of their father, Tang Cianco.
CONFLICT:
“I will kill you both, you bastards. are so irritating!”
As soon as he finished his meal, he began playing with the four puppies. After a while, he became bored with playing with them. Suddenly, when he saw Armbo holding the other one, he wanted to steal it from his brother because he wanted to play with it. Baldo refused, but Ambo refused to give up, resulting in their battle.
Don't touch my puppy! It's mine only!
RISING ACTION:
“The dog has gone mad,””
He noticed his brother Ambo eating a banana without first peeling it.He instructed his brother to peel it before eating it because that was thenormal action. But his brother simply disregarded him, claiming that it wasn'this banana and that he wasn't the one eating it. He didn't pay attention.
CLIMAX:
During their quarrel, Ambo was accidentally bitten by the puppy on his hand, and their father Tang Cianco arrived at the same time. They were both afraid of seeing their father since they knew what was going to happen to them. Tang Cianco noticed the puppy snarling and its fur standing, so he walked to the kitchen and fetched a chunk of firewood. He beat the unfortunate puppy until blood oozed from its mouth and it was flown to the air. And he didn't stop until it was completely dead, at which point he threw the corpse into the cornfields.
FALLING ACTION:
After he killed the puppy he went to the boys and beat them. Their mother can’t do anything because she knows she would only get beaten too. Tang Cianco still cursing and cursing while he was hitting the boys because they don't stop quarrelling. Nana Elang can't look at the boys when they where hit and only she can do was to give some aid to their wounds.
