Title: Kune Comes of Age
Author: William Saroyan
Source: Communications in English 1st Year English

Situation:
Kune Cornelio was a tall dark, curly-haired,good looking boy and was thirteen years old. He was up early in the morning and had already milked the carabao, watered his mom's eggplants and tomatoes and finished piling up firewood at six o'clock. After that, his father,Mang Siso, and mother,Aling Sianang, woke up and was impressed at his new make-over. They thought he was now turning to a man because this was the first time he did all those things and became responsible. After breakfast he went to school hurriedly. His teacher,Miss Pablo, was as impressed as all his classmates after he had answered accurately three questions in a row Miss Pablo gave him. He gave Adela a furtive glance. She was sitting three chairs away, a slighly built girl with soft hair hair hung loose up to her shoulders and his' crush. She was certainly looking at him and was smiling. This gave him the thought that she must like him.

Conflict:
During recess, Kune looked for Adela. He felt warm all over and saw her sitting alone under the shade of a mango tree. He decided to talk to her and ask her to have halo-halo with him. First, he rehearsed his lines and went over to her. After a while of talking, he got tongue-tied and forgot his lines.

Turning Point:
Adela congratulated him for his good work in Social Studies earlier to break the silence. This gave Kune his chance and finally asked her to have halo-halo with him just along the road.

Conclusion:
Adela didn't say a word, stood up, gathered her books and smoothened her skirt. Kune felt overjoyed when he did it and took one deep breath and before he could say anything more, Adela was gone. He was stupefied and stared at Adela running, not knowing what to do.Finally, he called back but she kept running. This made him confused. But that night, Kune spent long hours writing his first love letter and was comin of age.

Significant Human Experience:
Growing up is exciting and wonderful because you'll have more experiences than just being a kid. I can't believe why Kune couldn't say the proper words to Adela, even I can say what I wanted to say with anyone but only if it's appropriate.
