2. Who are the characters in the story?

7. How did Teang find married life?
8. When Dodong asked permission to get married, his father felt sorry for him. So did Dodong when

You are now going to analyze the short story Footnote to Youth using a story grammar. And what is a
story grammar? A story grammar is a graphic organizer which The story serves a warning to us, youth, as
the title itself suggests. It reminds us of the responsibilities and realities that come with marriage and
the family life. It advises us that life after marriage is difficult especially when we are yet incapable of
the responsibilities and challenges that life gives. Therefore, we should not rush into something that we
will be regretting in the end.
