"FATIMA, THE WAR NURSE."

1.Theme
"We have different races and colors, but our voices and hearts are one."

2. Connection 
The text connects us to our real-life situation right now, wherein there is a global pandemic that we are facing. Our nurses are like Fatima. Even though some people are afraid to mingle with them because of their job (the warriors of this crisis), they still sacrifice their time, safety, and health to serve us, to serve people who are in need of medication, and to serve our country.

3.Alternate Title
  The Paragon Nurse

4. Author's Purpose 
The poet wants us to open our eyes and to not judge one another based on their race and appearances. He wants us to remember that we are equal even though we have different races, languages, and colors. The goal is one, and this is to eradicate racism, but instead to promote unity and peace.

5.Media Influence 
 I believe that this poem could sway one's beliefs, words and action towards our Muslims brother/ sister. This poem can bring a positive perspective. 

6.Favorite Line
  


7.Figurative Language 
The figurative language being used is Imagery. It add more deeper layer of meaning because it can give you vivid imagination about the  poem. 

8. Symbolism
The pink veil. The veil symbolizes modesty and obedience and the color pink is thought to be a calming color associated with love, kindness and feminity. 

9.Lines
" When Alhamdulillah came out of the wounded man's mouth." 
Because of this line, Fatima became more determined to cure more people. 

10.Stanza
"Repelled her, refuse her care, for she was wearing a veil. 
She had not to remove her tondong. 
She had turned to another patient, since then
She give a slight smile behind her surgical mask." 
This stanza shows how kind Fatima is, that even though some people are repelled and refuse her care, she still treats them the same. And when the word Alhamdulillah came out of the man's mouth, she couldn't help but smile behind her surgical mask. 

11.Rhyme
Repelled her, refused her care

This has a lot of impact on the poem because of the way she was rejected just because of the veil she was wearing. The man was judging Fatima's personality according to the veil she was wearing, which is not good for him in his situation at that time, for he is in need of assistance. The line also shows Fatima's refusal of Fatima's aid and how it affected her job to cure everybody, but that didn't stop her from aiding the others.

12.Quartrain
"Repelled her, refused her care, for she was wearing a veil.
She had not removed her tondong.
She had turned to another patient, since then.
She gave a slight smile behind her surgical mask"
Rhyme scheme-
Simple four line rhyme (ABCD)

13. Rythm
The rhythm of the poem depends on the readers. 

14.Mood
 The mood of the story is being Determined and Positive. Despite all the criticisms she received just because of her culture of wearing a veil. People may feel like she's dirty but she was determined enough to serve.

15.Tone
 The tone of the poem is Persuasive. This urges us to be united and seek peace together as we hear each other screams of help. This pushes us to be hopeful of a brighter tomorrow, and that's what the author Nassefh Macla wants us to feel, to be hopeful.

ACTIVITY 1

THE WITCH by: Edilberto K. Tiempo                       Analysis    Analysis of The Witch by Edilberto Tiempo is a reflection of the people. In this case, Filipino provincials tend to believe what is the talk of the town, regardless of knowing the real issue behind it. The narrator in the short story was an unnamed 12 year old boy who lived in a town surrounded by barrios. He was a flat character. In line with these texts, 'once I was told to go to Libas with a bottle of business concern for Tio Sabelos' wife, and I thought of bringing place shrimp to my mother', he was portrayed in the story as an obedient and dutiful lad. Being a 12 year old boy, he was easily affected by the rumors surrounding him, to the point of almost believing them without reasonable proofs. He was unnamed because he lacks his own identity. Toward the end, he said the jumping eyes of the biggest, which was still alive, seemed to glare at me--...

POSTER & ESSAY

Image
The picture above shows my interpretation of the story entitled "PRELUDES" by Daryll Delgado.       My poster is about gender inequality in terms of the issue of infedility. It reflects a kind of relationship in this generation wherein one of the partners in a married couple is being unfaithful in their relationship. I felt sad that some people are like Nenita, whereas they know that their partner is cheating on them but doesn't seem to mind or care. Even though she is hurt and has lost her dignity as a woman, she still loves, cares, and serves her husband.   Sometimes we can be like Nenita, who thought that she would put justice in her own hands, but she chose not to do so because of her conscience. Many people are not content with what they have, which can be the reason they sin. It's natural if you want to be richer (by doing it right, of course), or if you want to get higher grades, but cheating on your own wife is not something that is natu...

LESSON 3: MOTIVATION

Interviewees:Roanna Lynn B. Poliran                       :  Christian                        Why does it seem acceptable in Philippine society for husbands to have affairs with other women? =For me, people believe that Philippines is accepting or normalizing husbands to cheat. But they're not. Philippines is not accepting it, it's just the point of view to those people who doesn't know the whole story why the husband did it. We as a human makes mistake so as they cheat (Though it's not acceptable that they didn't did it on purpose). You can tell wives are fragile, but we cannot blame them. =It's not acceptable, but you see Filipino women, most of whom value their family more than their emotions. Men always use their excuse of being men just to get away with their vicious and lustful infidelity. It is acceptable for women? Why or why not? What do you think or feel...
