23. NAME IT!
The tortoise and the monkey found once a banana tree
floating amidst the waves of a river. It was very fine tree with
large green leaves and with roots just as if it had been pulled
off by a storm …
-excerpt from
The Tale of a Tortoise
and the Monkey by Jose Rizal
24. NAME IT!
Oh Diyos sa kalangitan.
Hari ng Sangkalupan,
Diyos na walang kapantay,
Mabait lubhang maalam…
-excerpt from
Panalangin sa Diyos
(de la Merced’s version)
25. NAME IT!
"Kung ikaw lang sana ay isang bituin
Saka ako’y buwang lagi mong kapiling
Suyuin man kita kung gabing malalim
Walang mapangutyang lilibak sa atin
Sa likod ng ulap, ikaw ay akin din."
Notes de l'éditeur
The body of written works of a language, period, or culture.
Philippine literature is literature associated with the Philippines from prehistory, through its colonial legacies, and on to the present.
Communication - a process by which information is exchanged between individuals through a common system of symbols, signs, or behaviors. It is the act of sharing and receiving information through a variety of media to various individuals.
(from Latin: communicare/communis, meaning "to share" or "to be in relation with")
The easiest way to improve vocabulary, writing, and speaking skills is to study literature.
Empathy – putting yourself in the shoes of a person (focus: emotions, and not the actions)
But how do we improve that? Through literature of course. Through reading a lot of poetry and novels… Because a novel allows us to identify with different characters. Moreover, it provides us with the opportunity to enter the lives of people who we believe to be utterly different from us and to appreciate them.
