LACK OF EDUCATION
         Merlinda bobis botn on November 25,1959 is a contemporary Philippine Australian writer academic.born in legazpi city, in the Philippine province of albay,merlinda bobis attended bicol university high school them completed her B.A. at aquinas university in legazpi city.she holds post-graduate degrees from the university of Santo Tomas and university of wollongong, and now lives in Australia.Written in various genres in both Filipino and english, her work integrated elements of the traditional culture of the Philippine with modern immigrant.Lengua para diablo  is a story about poverty and a family that is suffering because of it.in the story, a man lost the will to talk to his wife- hence, the title, the devil ate my words.The story illustrated what kind of struggle a normal family must, especially if they live in poverty.
        When it comes to our friends we let the the devil eat our words because if what we are about to say might be offending to them. This is also a sign of respect to our friends.For example we noticed that there is something wrong between your friend and his/her lover.you, for example saw your friends love with someone else who's not you friend.since you don't want to get involved in their problems, can you take it that your friend doesn't know that his/her lover is with someone else.even in our society today where we argue to some older people,we are considered disrespectful.even if our tone of speaking is still low,when they find out that we might be still disrespectful for them so for it to just.stop, we just shut up and the devil just ate our words.an instant where the devil ate our words in when speak at I'll of some issues in our country today,if we have a contracting idea or opinion towards a topic that every one is offering and you're not it's like the people around you will try to convince you to believe with them just go with the flow or sometime will get mad at you for opposing.so to prevent this stuff,you just keep quiet and keep your thought so but you know,saying out your thoughts won't harm.
         There was this story written by merlinda bobis titled la lengua para diablo meaning the devil ate my words.this story is about  destituts family,whose father bacams laid off from work.he felt ashamed because he can no longer provide for his family. Too ashamed that he can not dsfend himself from the wrath of his wife-la lengua para diablo.shame,guilt,humiliation, abashment whatever word of is,it all feels the same.according to Merriam Webster,shame is   painful emotion caused by consciousness of guilt,short coming or impropriety. I know all of us had already experience being ashamed to the point the that even our ability to fight for ourselves fled away.in this kind of situation you cannot deny the fact that even if it is your fault you want to express your side of the stofy, bug in the end there's this feeling in you head that says you don't have the right to explain because all that happened that caused your shame is your blunder.
      The story said"the devil ate his words" he doesn't more gain respect from his kids,no more pride and especially his dignity was lost.the situation is truly happening now in the society. This usually happens to young family that is caused by early pregnancy for they don't have enough proper knowledge and education.these situation are really present to our community.the situation is really difficult to the father because he needs to sacrifice all of his pride and ego to stay at home and monitor to their kids.there are many possibilities that may happen the father may have another affair or may use drugs of about abuse.not just that the kids may mock their father and be ashamed of them for they are not earning.this is really disheartening from the father's side.that why proper education and guidance of the family is really important.so what we won't have these kinds of situations in our society for the main reason of this lack of education.the father means by "the devil ate my words" is that he can't react about his wife's complain about their lives because the promise about luxurious life to his wife didn't happened because he is unemploy.we've experience the situation of this story.my conclusion is not be quarrel with your father,because in every person we hope that there was a mistake.I will apply this story in 21st century because in every one that we may consider as a basis for Our life.also we apply the story in the 21st century due to the large number of Filipinos who have sins with other people,not all perfect so I want to tell you both of my readers next time we love our father because they will all do everything to give us what we need.
