RIZAL

CLOHS 2A

Write your one paragraph impression of how Rizal regard his family.

Family is the basic social unit of society. This is where we get to learn our values. With our family beside
us, we grow into persons through their guidance. I can say that Rizal value and respect his family as they
provide love and support for its members. Rizal’s family taught him a lot of things, especially his parents.
His father was able to give his family what they need from their small fortune: education, a stone house,
and a nipa hut surrounded by different kinds of trees. A “model of fathers” indeed! While his mother,
made them recite the rosary all together. From this, it is evident that Rizal grew up with faith in our
creator. You can tell that their family did not have a hard time, unlike the other Filipinos that were
treated differently by the Spanish people. Their family led a happy life. Rizal and his siblings were
intimately close with each other. He was really attached to his sisters from his childhood until he grew
up as a man. But there’s a heartbreaking moment that happened to Rizal when he was four years old,
that is when he lost his younger sister, Concha. That is the first time that he shed tears caused by love
and grief for his sister. He loves his family so much because the death of his sister brought him a lot of
sorrow. Though while growing up, he experienced many stressful events like the martyrdom of
Gomburza and the imprisonment of her mother at his young age. He still grew up as one of the most
influential people that the Filipinos looked up to.
