    Loreto Para Sulit

    Bio graphy

    Loreto Paras-Sulit (December 10, 1908 – April 23, 2008) was a Filipino writer best known for her
    English-language short stories.

    Paras-Sulit was born in Ermita, Manila.[1] After finishing her secondary education in Manila, she
    entered the University of the Philippines, where she first gained notice for her short fiction. While at
    the University, she co-founded the U.P. Writer's Club in 1927 along with other student-writers such
    as Arturo Rotor and Jose Garcia Villa. She graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in
    education, magna cum laude, in 1930.

    Paras-Sulit would join the faculty of Florentino Torres High School as an English teacher[1] while
    maintaining an active writing career. She was a member of the Philippine Writers Association and
    the Literary Guild of the Philippines. In the 1940s, she joined the Philippine National Red Cross, of
    which she served as secretary-general for several decades. While at the Red Cross, she shifted her
    focus to short stories for children, publishing several works of that variety at the Philippine Junior
    Red Cross Magazine.[1] She retired from public life after retiring from the Red Cross, dying in April,
    2008 at the age of 99.[2]

    SYNOPSIS

    SETTING

    • Field- where the brothers are working; where they met Miss Francia
    • Miss Francia’s place- where Fabian told her that Vidal will have a child with Milia

    • Batalan- where Vidal and Tinay talked to each other

    • Fabian’s house- where they talked about the marriage of Vidal and Milia

    Theme
    The short story “Harvest” by Loreto Paras-Sulit is about the envious brother, Fabian. Due to Fabian’s envy to
    his brother, he even manipulated his brother’s own life to the point that he even talked to Ms. Francia that his
    brother will have a child by accident so that she would cancel the work, offered to his brother.

    Analysis

    Third Person Omniscient Third person omniscient is a method of storytelling in which the narrator knows the
    thoughts and feelings of all of the characters in the story, as opposed to third person limited, which adheres
    closely to one character's perspective. The teller of the tale, who often appears to speak with the voice of the
    author himself, assumes an omniscient (all-knowing) perspective on the story being told: diving into private
    thoughts, narrating secret or hidden events, jumping between spaces and times. Evidences: • Vidal stopped in
    his work to wipe off the heavy sweat from his brow. He wondered how his brother could work that fast all day
    without pausing to rest, without slowing in the rapidity of his strokes. • She was talking to Vidal about things
    he had no idea of. He could not understand why the sound of her voice filled him with this resentment that was
    increasing with every passing minute. She was so near him that when she gestured, perhaps as she spoke, the
    silken folds of her dress brushed against him slightly, and her perfume, a very subtle fragrance, was cool and
    scented in the air about him.
