    UN RECUERDO A MI PUEBLO ( IN MEMORY OF MY TOWN)


    Rizal is recalling the sweet memories of his childhood, when he stayed in the green fields with cold wind breeze enjoying the fresh smell of nature. Rizal expresses his feeling of longing for the life near the lake while his mother cradles him with joy and love. He mentioned that he misses the simple life way back home. The candid Rizal, playing barefooted on the woods and swimming on river banks. Moreover, he mentioned his devotion as a catholic; that he misses praying in rural churches with his pure intentions in his heart All about Rizals amusement and appreciation of Gods creations. He expressed so by using words that describe the aged forest and blue sky. Rizal gives significance to the beauty of his hometown, a place founded by joyous memories the he longs for. He also mentioned that all the pain of loneliness is eased by the memories of his treasured hometown, that the hour he thinks of it is so precious. Lastly, symbolizes his dream for his hometown to be as peaceful and as happy as when he was there. --- WIKIPILIPINAS

    THE STORY OF THE MOTH

    The young moth did not heed the repeated warning of the old moth not to get so close to the light which to the young moth was so beautiful and attractive, and so the young moth met its death by burning itself by reason of curiosity and attraction to the luminous light Rizal justified such noble death (died martyr to its illusions) asserting that to sacrifice ones life for it (ideal), is worthwhile Like that young moth, he was fated to die a martyr for a noble ideal (in search for light education, reforms for his country/people)
