The document discusses different types of literary criticism including structuralism, feminism, biographic criticism, Marxism, and reader-response criticism. Structuralism analyzes underlying structures in a text like plot or characterization. Feminist criticism aims to establish that women are equal to men by using inclusive language. Biographic criticism examines how an author's life relates to their works. Marxist criticism views works as reflections of social institutions. Reader-response focuses on the reader's experience rather than the author or content.

A poem lovely as a tree.
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the earth’s sweet flowing breast;
A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;
A tree that may in Summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;
Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.
Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.

biglang pumasok. Hinanap niya ang panty ni Colay sa loob ng
kubeta. Gulat na gulat si Colay siyempre.
"Bakit?" Tanong niya sa stepmother namin.
Labhan mo. Tubig lang. Wag kang gagamit ng sabon. Kusot-
kusot lang. Tapos ipunas mo sa mukha mo 'yang panty. Tapos
sabihin mo, sana maging singkinis ng perlas ang mukha ko. Ulit-
ulitin mo. Habang ipinupunas mo sa mukha mo ang panty.
