Activity 2. Understanding the Context
Directions: Look at each picture below. In Column A, each picture depicts the event presented
in the poem. In Column B, based on your understanding of the poem, write what event
happened in each picture and how do you feel about it.

This is a picture of Manila Observatory. In the

poem, Manila observatory is where Priest Faura
and Pepe talk about purgatory. In this event I feel
sad for Priest Faura because for me he feel sorrow
with confusion in this scenario, because he
thought that Pepe will just ask the formation of the
star, instead Pepe ask about purgatory.

This picture is when Padre Faura witness Rizal

execution. This event is really a sad event’s not just
for me but for Filipino, because this is the time that
our National Hero was executed.

This picture is place father Faura stood up and

shivering in seeing Dr. Joe Rizal Execution. In this
even I feel for father Faura because I think this
place is very traumatic for him after seeing his
student died.
