Jose Rizal is of great importance that students understand the rationale behind having to take up a Rizal course in college. Senator Jose P. Laurel, the person who sponsored the said law said that since Rizal was the founder of Philippine nationalism and has contributed much to the freedom that we rightfully claimed by virtue of our nationality and living in a free country. It is only right that the youth as well as all the people in the country must know and learn to imbibe the great ideals for which he fought and died for. The Rizal Law, enacted in 1956, seeks to accomplish various goals which includes among others to appreciate the ideals of nationalism and in shaping the Filipino character, to teach patriotism and recognize the importance of Rizal’s ideals and teachings in relation to present conditions and situations in the society. This life lessons and nation building are not handed down like that of a food in a spoon for the learners.

Students must be made aware of his source of inspiration and his enlightenment after his rigorous study in Europe.

I read, T4 by Ann Clare Lezotte, which is about her life as a Jewish, deaf girl who lived in Germany. This was the time period when Adolf Hitler ruled their country, which means they didn’t like Jewish people. In the book, she had said, “when my mother was pregnant with me, she was exposed to Rubella, or German Measles, a common cause of hearing loss in infancy” (Lezotte, 3). I’ve never had hearing loss or anything like that but I did have failure to thrive and a sensory disorder when I was younger, which impacted my life a lot.
The Manzanar Relocation Center, located in California, was an internment camp for Japanese Americans during World War II. After the attack on Pearl Harbor, Americans began to get paranoid and the Japanese were considered potential saboteurs, therefore they got put into these detention centers with many restrictions. People were given little warning and time to gather the small number of belongings they wished to bring with them to Manzanar. Japanese families were split among the terrible barracks partitioned into one-room apartments, with little privacy, warmth, and enjoyment. Historical author Sonia Benson states that children and parents' relationships were being strained as families were separated, therefore it was difficult to discipline

The collapse of France during World War II was as abrupt as it was unforeseen. A major work of art that reflected the provocative history of France during the German occupation and the lives of the captives was that of Irene Nemirovsky’s Suite Française, a book she wrote in 1941.

Josie Rourke’s modern stage adaptation of Much Ado About Nothing is renowned for the hilarious reunion of the Doctor Who costars: David Tennant and Catherine Tate, whose chemistry is mesmerizingly brilliant and inevitable from the moment the two step on the stage.

The play centers Beatrice (Tate) and Benedick (Tennant), the disputatious lovers, who hold a reputation for being unapparent to the love that they clearly share for each other, going along with repartee, oblivious to the

All the three works of group three extend the novelties of group two. “Ecco mormorar” and “S’andasse Amor” adventure the florid writing in them, while “Memtr’io mirava” shares its move to distant harmonic areas. However, there are two traits that are very difficult to define that unite these madrigals; one is an ability to bring to music the syntactic and meaning organization of text and a structural coherence of a rigor which is unknown to Monteverdi’s earlier works. All the listed characteristics and especially the last one, are exemplified in the “Ecco mormorar l’onde” which happens to be Monteverdi’s most famous madrigal of the second madrigal books. The texts of “Ecco mormorar l’onde” is a fourteen-line that illustrates the pastoral dawn, a sort of landscape poetry in which Tasso shined .
