                                                 By: Francisco Sionil Jose     

                   The story begins in reminiscing the memory of childhood when Gina and Jacobo become friends and fell in love to each other. Jacobo and Gina fell in love to each other but suddenly they separated because of war. Gina’s family goes to Manila while Jacobo goes to his uncle in manila who work at ateneo, Jacobo work and study at ateneo. The tome goes by Jake meet Carlos Cobell, an owner o law firms and they become Avery close friend. He partner with Carlos and they strart a closes bond. Jake given a chance to meet Gina and it hand when he goes to a bar where Gina work at.” And, right in the middle in a green dress, was Gina “(6).at this line Jake thought that the women that wherein a green dress is Gina but he decide not to introduce himself to Gina since Gina didn’t recognize him because of the big changes in physical appearance. But suddenly at the second time they separated again to each other. After 10 years they are both married but on the other persons. Jacobo married jenny and they are already have 3 child. While Gina already merited but she was unlucky to the guys he married because she found that the guys that she married is unfaithful and is the reason why she is imprisoned. while jenny red a new paper  Jake recognize the woman at  the women at the news paper  and he definitely went to Japan to show his concern to Gina  he offer a help to Gina, but Gina refuse what Jake offers. At the end of the story Jacobo and Gina reminisce the past and Gina new that a man in front of her is his childhood sweetheart.  Life is like  a wheel  sometimes youre on the top sometimes youre at the botton. .I like the way the author create a story he use flash back in order to understand the reader what happen at the past.       

                    

             The story have two main character fist is Jacobo Salcedo and the second one is Gina Garcia. Jacobo Salcedo is a man come from in the poor family but despite of his problem he never give up on dreaming and he pursue his goal n life. He has a good characteristic like intelligent, hard working, and humble that brings him to the top and become successful. I like the characteristic of Jacobo because he never gave up even though he is the only one who sustain has needs because his parents died.

                Gina Garcia-she belong at the very rich family “ she was a tall ,if not  slightly taller. It must be a mestizo genes or their food. She had brownish and very fair skin. Her eyes wee dark and pretty, her voice such as pleasure to listen to, and even when he vexed she always sounded so pleasant and musical”(2)  the author gave a good description about the characteristic of Gina  that’s why I like this paragraph because I imagine the personality that Gina has. Gina was unlucky to her life especially when she grow up, he married a unfaithful husband that the reason why he is in the jail, she have a job but she ashamed to work. Her life becomes miserable.

                  The setting of the story was taken first at the old hometown of San Jacinto, it is the place where jacobo and Gina born and grow up, it is also the place where   the love story jacobo and Gina began. The second one is in manila where the journey of jacobo start, he pursue his drams and become a successful man .it is also the place where he found Gina and met her wife jenny.

                It was entitled puppy love because it refers to falling in love at the very young age but  it is not a true love. Even though Gina and Jacob love each other they don’t end up on together because they got married but in the different person. The author use first person so the one who is telling the 

 story is jacobo he narrate his puppy love experience. The story is all about love,but  its not a true love it is only puppy love .The story also focus on waiting someone even you don’t know that that one is really deserving. It also tackled about an innocent kind of love and mistaking it for true love.  I think the information that i read is reliable since it is base on the true story and I can relate it means not only Gina ad jacobo experience puppy love but also those people experience puppy love like me i thought that the guy that fall in love with is the guy that I will marry but it’s not he is only my puppy love not my true love. This story is wonderful because it has only one point of view tats why I understand well because if the story have different point of view it may cause of misunderstanding between the reader and the story.

                     The theme of this story is disregarding the social differences in term expressing true love.And nothing last forever even jacobo love Gina he ended up marrying another girl whom he didn't love at first but soon, he learned to love him more.Until the time came that he completely forget about his feelings to Gina and became faithful and loyal to Jenny.
