Recommended: Philippine revolution part 1 and 2

1The focus of chapter 3 deals with the formation of the Katipunan and how it was very well connected to the people's belief in the "Pasyon" and liwang ng loob. 2In truth, the Katipunan was supposedly formed to bring hope to the people and fulfill the religious belief that the Filipinos will be saved. 3Ileto, as an introduction, narrates and talks about in length, the Katipunan's history, especially when it comes to Bonifacio and Aguinaldo's fight. 4What is important though in this chapter is the goals the Katipunan tried to reach and Ileto connects this to their Christian belief in sampalataya and kalayaan. 5The Katipuneros pretty much saw Bonifacio as the light, a symbolism of Jesus, as well; just like how the Confradia saw Hermano Pule in the same way. 6Poems and songs were used as a way to transport the message the Katipunan leaders were sending to the people; most of which included religious images such as the Holy Family or more commonly, Christ's Pasyon. 7These ways were successful in gaining members for the Katipunan and for the Katipunan's purpose to be acted out 8Ileto does return to the reality of the situation as the chapter ends though, admitting to the fact that the Katipunan was hardly successful due to the rivalry between Bonifacio and Aguinaldo. 9But nonetheless, the Katipunan's goals lived and remained among the people, longer than those who crafted it.

1Bridging from chapter 3, with the end of the Katipunan, chapter 4, reveals how the Philippine Republic, led by Emilio Aguinaldo, used the "spirit" brought about by the war as inspiration to further fight for freedom. 2It was now Aguinaldo's job to revolt against the American colonizers plus international recognition was sought after. 3The Malolos government was the main leading party yet many challenges still came their way, not only from the invaders but from several Filipino revolt groups as well who did not believe in the cause the government was fighting for. 4Ileto describes this from the Pensacola brothers to General Teodoro Sandiko who was trying to revive the Katipunan sect. 5But more importantly, this chapter describes how a poem or awit was a very strong reference to what the government not only believed in but also gained strength and courage from. 6One of the most important ideas that Ileto mentioned in this chapter is that the awit, because of the fact that it does not mention important people of the

    The consequences and effects of war, may be psychological, physical, or emotional.

    Ozick explains the affect of war on each individual in a family. She discussed the physical pain felt by Magda the infant, the Change of morality in Stella and Rosa physiological effect of the war. The Shawl story can also be related to the two experiments done by Zimbardo and Milgram, of war and how people obey orders no matter what they are told to do, even if it tells them to kill, they will obey. Zimbaro explained how the guards lost their morals, and used their power too physically and psychologically hurt the prisoners. Also in Milgram’s experiment it showed how the teachers lose their moalies when it comes to obeying the orders even if it requires them to hurt another human. Those three stories give us an idea of how war can have negative effect on anyone. Also that everyone has some good and some bad in them, because we are all humans.

  • Novel Without a Name by Duong Thu Huong

    In the novella Novel Without a Name, by Duong Thu Huong, the novel is told from the North Vietnamese viewpoint. Already, there is a contrast between the content of this novel, than perhaps, the content of a textbook. Novel Without a Name uses the rhetorical strategy of appeal to emotion. A central theme that revolves throughout the novel is the act of defiance against oppression, whereas a textbook would be devoid of this. A textbook, such as In Search of Southeast Asia on Vietnam, will focus on statistics and is strictly informational; it does not favor one side or another. Further evidence of this is in the context of each source. If one were to take a look in In Search of Southeast Asia, one would see dates strewn about the pages of the textbook. The textbook focuses on the chronology of history and conveys no emotion; rather it just states the facts.

    ... We offer an outline, not a bible,” (Guevara, 1961). Therefore, it can be inferred that his writing deals only with the experiences and conditions that were created in context with the Cuban revolution. Many rebels in other Latin American countries however, took his handbook on guerrilla warfare to be a strict guide. Guevara’s tactics and strategies have not led to a successful revolution in any country aside from Cuba. Although he gives helpful guidelines, the guerrilla fight is not the only factor in a successful rebellion. The lack of popular support and unclear urban resistance patterns in countries like Venezuela and Guatemala led to less than ideal conditions for guerrilla warfare. The fact that Guevara glazes over the importance of these two circumstances in the rebel movement makes his book unsuccessful in spawning revolution throughout Latin America.

    The truth is I didn’t want the Philippines, and when they came to us, as a gift from the gods, I did not know what to do with them.… I sought counsel from all sides— Democrats as well as Republicans—but got little help. I thought first we would take only Manila; then Luzon; then other islands perhaps also. I walked the floor of the White House night after night until midnight; and I am not ashamed to tell you, gentlemen, that I went down on my knees and prayed Almighty God for light and guidance more than one night. And one night late it came to me this way… that we could not give them back to Spain… that we could not leave them to themselves— they were unfit for self-government… [and] that there was nothing left for us to do but to take them all, and to educate the Filipinos, and uplift and civilize and Christianize them, and by God’s grace do the very best we could by them.” (Thomas G.

After centuries of living in repressed poverty under unstable and unjust political stipulations, the Mexican people could no longer sit back and be dictated under the rulers who lacked any interests besides their own. The Mexican Revolution was the starting point for political, social, and economic reforms which have been slowly making progression in Mexico since the start of the Revolution. Through The Underdogs, one relives the struggles of the Mexican people to revolutionize a country that had been in a desperate state for centuries.

We think that just people who have been exposed to the war can deeply understand the unfortunates, tolls, and devastates of the war. He also shared and deeply sympathized sorrows of who took part in the war; the soldiers because they were not only put aside the combat, the war also keeps them away from community; people hated them as known they are officers and often shouted " down with officers" as they passing. We have found any blue and mournful tone in this story but we feel something bitter, a bitter sarcasm. As the war passing, the soldiers would not themselves any more, they became another ones; hunting hawks, emotionless. They lost everything that a normal man can have in the life. the war rob all they have.
