Assignment:

Do you think Dr. Jose Rizal should be declared as our National Hero?

First of all, we should clarify the meaning if a hero to make it quite simple

to understand how Rizal became a hero. A hero symbolizes goodness. Jose Rizal

became the National hero because he fought from freedom in a silent but powerful way.

He expressed his love for the Philippines through his novels, essays, articles and

poems rather than a force of aggression. He was a very amazing person at his time. He

was humble, fighting for reforms through his writings instead of through a revolution. He

used his intelligence, talents and skills in a for more peaceful way. So my answer for the

question is obviously YES. He deserved for the honor.

Also, Rizal must become a National Hero because he passed the criteria during the

American period like: he must be Filipino, he is already dead, he displayed

unconditional love for his country, he was a low temper, and he had died dramatically.

So that's all for me.
