...A NATION ABORTED A BOOK REPORT Submitted by: Mang Kanor 2009-01541-mn-0 BSIT 4-4 Submitted to: Prof. Rhodora Agustin HIST1023 Introduction Recuperating a missing past and apparition, an offer to review and reconsider his venture, and to alter the Filipino’s spirit on patriotism. Finding out the path of the Filipino patriot crusade from its origin in the late 19th century to its deformation and co-optation by US imperialism in the early years of the 20th century--- through a lineage of the rise and fall of the figure of Rizal, the national hero. Rebuilds Rizal's visionary of the state, a moral vision that was appreciated by associated state of mind in the so-called Propaganda Movement as well as the Katipunan, and reverberated deeply with the revolutionary spirit of 1896--- the moral vision that establishes what is most vital and rational in Rizal's lifework, in today's era of genocidal claims of sovereignty and predatory.

...El Filibusterismo SUMMARY OF THE BOOK The story started in a journey in Tabo ship between Manila and Laguna. One of the travellers is Simoun who is no other than Ibarra, the poet Isagani, and Basilio. Basilio, who is now a grown-up bachelor was only 10 years old when we read his story in Noli Me Tangere. Therefore, 13 years had passed since Elias and Sisa died. Basilio reached San Diego and in a historical event he met Simon when Basilio visited the place where his mother was buried which was inside the burial place of the Ibarra’s. He learned that Simon was Ibarra in disguise; and for this secret not to be told, Simon attempted to kill Basilio. But he was able to control himself and he just persuaded Basilio to join his cause to revolt against Spanish regime in the Philippines. Basilio refused because he wanted to finish his studies. While the Kapitan Heneral was having a good time in Los Banos, Filipino students laid a plea to his majesty (Kap. Heneral) for him to establish an academy of Spanish language. This appeal was not approved, as what the students wished, because they learned that the priests are going to manage the the academy, and the students will be just the followers of the priests. When that happens, they will have no rights to whatever they want for the academy. While this was happening, Simon met up with Basilio at persuaded him again to join his cause to revolt and head a group that break into the convent of Santa Clara to get Maria Clara. But the...

...Presentation Summary Dunham’s technique was influenced by Afro-Caribbean dance and the African culture. She fused these cultures and rituals in with European Modern Ballet. Since she is seen bringing elements of African American culture to Modern Ballet, her work is considered primitive. Her technique consists of polyrhythmic dancing. Meaning that her movements consisted of two or more rhythms occurring at the same time and sometimes two or more different body parts doing different things simultaneously. In her classes she likes to have at least two sets of drummers, which would be drumming at different beats and rhythm. Her technique is also classified by having classical lines and a torso that was able to do both isolations and undulations within the movements. Isolations are very key to having strong fluid movements and undulating movements, for example are like up and down almost a...

...Fanaticism -wildly excessive or irrational devotion, dedication, or enthusiasm -an extreme and uncritical zeal or enthusiasm, as in religion or politics. — fanatic, n., adj. —fanatical, adj. the character, spirit, or conduct of a person with an extreme and uncritical enthusiasm orzeal, as in religion or politics Zeal is often used in a religious sense, meaning devotion to God or another religious cause, like being a missionary. Zeal doesn't have to be religious, though: a feeling of gusto and enthusiasm for anything can be called zeal. People have zeal for sports teams, bands, causes, and (often, but not always) their jobs. If you have passion for something, you have zeal, which is kind of a mix of eagerness and energy and devotion. -a feeling of strong eagerness (usually in favor of a person or cause) Filibuster or loco -filibusterismo’ means the idea of the breaking away of the colony from the mother country, and 'filibusteros’ are accordingly those who aspire for the realization of this idea. For our purposes, however, it will be more practical to ask: Who is considered a 'filibustero’ in the Philippines?” And let Rizal answer: * Those who do not raise their hats to Spaniards. * Those who only greet a friar instead of kissing his hand or his habit. * Those who offer resistance to being addressed with the familiar “tu” by the best Spaniard. * Those who subscribe to a periodical from Spain or another European country. * Those who, at elections, give...

...Foreign Study According to Vynaise`s blog ,Mulching is a process that prevents loss of moisture on the plants, suppresses weed growth, reduces fertilizer leaching, cools the soil and keeps the vegetables off the ground. Mulching is really helpful for gardeners because it reduces watering by about 60 percent, it also keeps the soil from drying out, prevents weed seed germination that competes with the plants' nutrients and minerals. Basically, there are two types of mulches, first is the organic mulch and second is the inorganic mulch. It uses straw or dried leaves, pebbles and or gravels respectively. Then these materials are then spread to the soil. Mulching serves as a barrier between the root of the plant and from the soil. In addition to this, soil loss from heavy rainfall is decreased due to mulching. Pomelo is a native fruit to southeast Asia, grows wildly on the riverbanks in Fiji, Tonga and Hawaii. It may have been introduced to China around 100 B.C. It is widely cultivated in southern China, Thailand, also in Taiwan and southernmost Japan. The pulp color ranges between clear pale yellow to pink to red , tastes sweet, mild grapefruit especially when it is already ripe. It has very litle or none of the common grapefruits bitterness but the membranes of the segments are bitter and usually discarded.

... Chapter 2 Who Commits Fraud and Why I, Dennis Greer, am making this statement on my own, without threat or promises, as to my activities in regard to the activity of kiting between Bank A and Bank B. As of May 19XX, I was having extreme emotional and financial difficulties. For religious reasons, I was required without notice to move out of where I was living, and I had no place to go. Also, my grandmother—the only family member I was close to—was dying. I had to live out of my car for 3 1/2 weeks. At the end of this time, my grandmother died. She lived in Ohio. I went to the funeral and I returned with a $1,000 inheritance. I used this money to secure an apartment. The entire sum was used up for the first month’s rent, deposit, and the application fee. From that time, mid-June, until the first part of August, I was supporting myself on my minimum-wage job at the nursery. I had no furniture or a bed. I was barely making it. I was feeling very distraught over the loss of my grandmother and problems my parents and brother were having. I felt all alone. The first part of August arrived and my rent was due. I did not have the full amount to pay it. This same week, I opened a checking account at Bank B. I intended to close my Bank A account because of a lack of ATMs, branches, and misunderstanding. As I said, my rent was due and I did not know how to meet it. On an impulse, I wrote the apartment manager a check for the amount due. I did not...

...errrCHAPTER 1 MOON. GLORIOUS MOON. FULL, FAT, REDDISH moon, the night as light as day, the moonlight flooding down across the land and bringing joy, joy, joy. Bringing too the full-throated call of the tropical night, the soft and wild voice of the wind roaring through the hairs on your arm, the hollow wail of starlight, the teeth-grinding bellow of the moonlight off the water. All calling to the Need. Oh, the symphonic shriek of the thousand hiding voices, the cry of the Need inside, the entity, the silent watcher, the cold quiet thing, the one that laughs, the Moondancer. The me that was not-me, the thing that mocked and laughed and came calling with its hunger. With the Need. And the Need was very strong now, very careful cold coiled creeping crackly cocked and ready, very strong, very much ready now—and still it waited and watched, and it made me wait and watch. I had been waiting and watching the priest for five weeks now. The Need had been prickling and teasing and prodding at me to find one, find the next, find this priest. For three weeks I had known he was it, he was next, we belonged to the Dark Passenger, he and I together. And that three weeks I had spent fighting the pressure, the growing Need, rising in me like a great wave that roars up and over the beach and does not recede, only swells more with every tick of the bright night's clock. But it was careful time, too, time spent making sure. Not making sure of the priest, no, I was long sure of him. Time spent to...
