   "The devil ate my words" ,the hardest work in the world is being out of work.
Lengua para Diablo by the award winning writer Merlinda Bobis high lightened the impact of losing the capability to shoulder things. The authority, power honor and pride are all gone. This show that the father life become miserable and forced him to live a live he did'nt wished for.
" Lengua para Diablo" the story shows how poverty and unemployment affect the situation of the family.Poverty and unemployment is the one problem that facing the Philippines rigth now. Yes today, many individuals , people rigors in this situation. Many family have their conflict that result into brocken family because they did'nt coop up and dealling in this situation. The story picture out the situation among family having a father who has no job. It shows hardship of cooping and dealling poverty. In our society we suffered rapid growthof unemployment. Some Filipinos difficulty in finding a job either they are graduated. So they go and sacrifice their selves to go in abroad to earn money to sustain the needs of their family.
Comparing the situation in the story and the reality considering the characteristics of a man or a father from the past up today, we can conclude that they are not the one who easily let go of their pride. They are being described as strong and hardworking also defined as a provider, but some situation in a family if a father suffer a lot of problems like, money, luck of jobs or unemployed mostly father cannot consentrate and they neglected their family. And instead of giving him comfort she always blaming him and downing him alsi children can do that, they can say that ttheir father is worthless. Yes, it happened that today in our society. As a father it is really hurt they blame their self .they think negative to their life that can caused from an negative result also. This situation is still existed as of today and worsens as time passes by. It really harmed the lives of individual. As we can see, nowadays people suffer from a great pain due to what they are experiencing. Unemployment and poverty also an economic problems this will be challeng to the government and leaders. I hope they can make a solution for tjis problem. Because i can see that many FIlipinos suffered this. They can not sustain thier basic needs. Many Filipinos does no have permanent house, no food to eat and no clothes. In the story Lengua Para Diablo i feel pity for him because he cannot explain why he lost his jobs. I felt anger also to the attitude of his wife shes being in considerate. She supposed to help him stand and tell how to bs better. But instead she help him better. She letting him feel useless. She drowning him. Letting their children heared their peoblem . She is being selfish ,what she thinks are the things ahe want big window, a fan ,a big house. The wife should not put all the blame to his husband . She muat help him to find solution to their problems. This situation also experience some of the family today. I thankful because i did'nt experience what the young girl experience. I realize that family is more than anything , the love of family is more than anything.
