The poem describes a man's fall from the 10th floor of a building to his death. It uses complex language and references to physics and geometry to analyze the man's descent from a scientific perspective. The cause of his fall is implied to be work-related pressures and a recent threat of dismissal from his job.

HISTORICAL ANALYSIS
1. Historical criticism looks at ‘the world behind the
text,’ by understanding the time the text was written and what other events took place upon the writing of the text. 2. Historical criticism investigates details about the author’s life – about his family, birthplace, and educational background that could be used to better understand the text. 3. Historical criticism also investigates the context and life of the reader of the text, by understanding current events in relation to the meaning of the text. Man dies after jumping off NLEX Overpass By Rey Galupo, The Philippine Star, April 23, 2015 – 12:00AM
MANILA, Philippines - A man died after
jumping off an overpass along the North Luzon Expressway interchange in Paso de Blas, Valenzuela City, snarling traffic in the area Tuesday night. Renjie Navarro died instantly after he fell on passing vehicles along the highway, Valenzuela police chief Senior Superintendent Rhoderick Armamento said. Reports said barangay watchmen saw Navarro apparently waiting for vehicles before he jumped off the overpass at around 10:30 p.m. One of the watchmen, Antonio Ligasan, approached Navarro and tried to persuade him not to jump but to no avail.
Medrano said the victim’s identification card
shows that Navarro was a worker at a factory in Barangay Parada, Valenzuela. Police checked the closed-circuit television camera installed in the area but it was not operational when the incident happened. Task 1 • Write as many questions as you can think of about the given article on your notebook. Task 1 1. Why did he jump off NLEX? 2. Was he suffering from psychological difficulties? 3. Did he suffer problems with the factory he’s working in? 4. What will happen to his family? 5. Why are these incidents very common these days? A Man Falls To His Death By Dr Cirilo Bautista 1.

a. Who are the character/s present in
this line? b. What do you think happened here? c. This line contributed to the man’s death. How does this affect his decision to “fall on his death”? Possible Answers 1. We believe this line (A) tells us that he works in a construction site. Maybe, he is a construction worker and their company is building a hotel or a casino. 2. Perhaps he is desperate to earn money and that he is not contented with his daily wage. 3. Our group thinks he did it when all of the construction people have finished working. 4. We believe that he jumped off the site because he had a fight with his boss. 5. We think this is from an obituary page.
