WHAT’S MORE
Gabu
Carlos A. Angeles
The text was all about a dramatic and chaotic scene on a beach in a place called Gabu. The
theme of this work is about life, and how it can be restless like the sea; temporal but longing for
constancy.
In the poem, the poet describes a coastline in Gabu that has been battered away by the
restlessness of the sea.
Anyone can be a reader of this poem, but I think this would best fit those people who are
inclined to poetic elements. In this kind of text, writers usually use symbolism and different kinds
of figures of speech.
-They are the kinds of readers who construct mental images as they read a text. By using prior
knowledge and background experience, they can connect with what the author is trying to say.
The text was written for the author to say what he wanted to share with his readers. In this
poem, the writer used imagery to deepen the reader's understanding by picturing what's going
on and how they feel about it.
Someone who is probably on Gabu, contemplating life while watching the rough seas.
-He has a profound grasp of life.
