Ang Pitong Tanga by Severino Reyes

 

Author: Severino Reyes
Illustrator: Ruben de Jesus


The children's nonfictional book "Ang Pitong Tanga" was initially written by  Severino Reyes, with an intended audience, the children.

 

The story's accuracy gets a fair rate on me. I find the content implausible. I doubt if there are people like the seven idiots in the story. Well, if there are, the name idiot doesn't fit. The characters are not idiots rather mentally ill. For example, when Agogong got into a fight with his own shadow on the wheel. What he was doing is far beyond idiots-lunatic.

 

The story has successfully shown the author's expertise in the style and simplicity of the words yet powerful. But when we are talking about documentation, I am not convinced if the basis of the story is a factual account.

 

Organization, the story has followed the basic plotting style and was aptly organized to the intended audience- the kids. The exposition consisted of the characters' introduction, the setting, and the problem. Young readers can comprehend the story with ease because it uses simple terms.

 

The aspect that gets the highest appeal on me is the design. The illustrator has not failed to catch the audience's attention. The images are all parallel to what is written on the page.

 

Lastly, the style of the story is fair enough to entertain the audience. I can tell that there's the enthusiasm with how the author describes the subjects. Technical terms such as "Tandang" and "Aling" are presented understandably.

 

All in all, the story is very entertaining. But at the end, the reader will indeed feel pity for Tandang Nano and be annoyed by the seven idiots.


My Say:

Among all the stories I read, this one is the funniest. I bet your stomach will surely hurt laughing at the seven idiot characters of this short story.

 


Story Glance:

There are seven idiots in the town in Cagayan of Luzon. All the people in their village feel so pity for their foolishness. And here comes, Tandang Nano who courageously tried to help these seven morons. Will Tandang Nano be successful?
