The participants' relationships with one another and with God are two of the aspects of their life that are brought up in the elegy readings that are presented here. Aside from that, the researcher makes the discovery that the chosen elegy has a number of important life lessons to be gained from it. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that institutions, whether public or private educational establishments, need to look at and include the elegy as one of the topics to the subject like literature and social studies. This recommendation applies to both public and private educational establishments. Perform a thorough investigation of elegy. Continue to spread the word about elegy by hosting poetry contests with a variety of topics.
