Rizal traveled to heidelberg, Germany and wrote the poem about the blue flower,
for-get-me-nots. He wrote this poem to reflects rizals appreciation for the flower,
as well as homesick he feels for where is from, the philippines. because he did
to honor his country as he please for the beauty and fragrance of its flower
represent the purity and beauty of his country and the poeple. And in a way, one
could say he dedicated this poem to his homeland. And it is also symbolize the
beauty of the flower to rizal love for his motherland . the beauty of the flower is
comparable to the way he looks at our country that anyone who will see the flower
may get on touch with rizal concern for his motherland. In last stanza rizal
reflected on its utter futility since the flower will no longer be the same when it
reaches the country. Its perfume beauty , which should reflects rizal intention for
the coutry, will long be gone.
 NOLI ME TANGERE
REFLECTION PAPER

Noli me tangere was rizal first novel. He was 26 at its publication. The book was
historically significant and was intrumental in the establishing of the filipin’s sense
of national identity. It talked about the spaniards arrogance and despicablesed
religion to achieved their own desires and rise to power, rizal reflected his life
through this novel and also to the life of the the filipinos during spanish
colonization. The novel mostly talked about the life of crisostomo ibarra, a member
of the insulares social classs, and a series of unfortunate events that he
encountered through the works of a franciscan friarm, namely padre damasco
verdolagas, and by the spanish conquistators. The look indirect influenced
arevolution although the authorm Jose Rizal, advocated non-violent means and
only direct representatives to the spanish government using his intelligence ad
pen, it called on the filipino to recover our self – confidence, to appreciate our own
worth, to return to the heritage of our ancestors, and to assert ourselves as the
equal of the spaniard. It insisted on the need of education, or dedication to the
country. And of absorbing aspects of foreign cultures the would enhance the native
traditions.
