Essay: Give what are asked for.

To my Fellow Children Explain this:

“He that knows not to love his own language is worse than the
beasts and putrid fish”
Answer:

This quote means if we use our own language to communicate with

the same Filipino, we will understand what we talk and to share. But
we use other language to communicate to other countries to share
ideas and talk to them. While a people preserve its language; it
preserves the marks of liberty. As we preserve our own nationalism,
we also preserve our dignity being a Filipino in a pure heart.

My First Inspiration Why was this poem dedicated to Rizal’s mother?

Answer:

Jose Rizal's first poem title is My First Inspiration (Mi Primera

Inspiration). He dedicated the poem to his mother, and he presented
it as a gift on her birthday. My First inspiration by Rizal is about the
love between a mother and a child. A mother is the first teacher and
first inspiration for a child.

They asked Me for Verses Do you agree that this poem was written when Dr. Rizal was in the
depths of depression for he was partly homesick for his country and
partly lovesick for his lost love, Leonor Rivera? Prove your answer.
Answer:

This is, I think, a poem written when Jose Rizal was in the depths of
depression. Partly home-sickness for his country but married also
with lovesickness for his lost love, Leonor Rivera. She was his
sweetheart for 11 years and had perhaps the greatest influence in
keeping him from falling in love with other women during his travels.
Unfortunately, Leonor's mother disapproved of her daughter's
relationship with Rizal, who was then a known 'filibustero'. She hid
all his letters from Leonor who, believing that Rizal had already
forgotten her, sadly consented to marry her mother's choice of
husband, an Englishman by the name of Henry Kipping.
To the Filipino Youth Why did Dr. Rizal call the Filipino youth the promise of his native
land?
Answer:

Jose Rizal composed the poem “To the Filipino Youth,” dedicating
to the youth of the Philippines. He wanted the Filipino youth to use
their capabilities, talents, and skills to stand out not only for their own
praise and success but also for the praise and success of their own
motherland, the Philippines.

To the Flowers of Heidelberg Why did the Author call himself a pilgrim?
Answer:

He refers to himself as a pilgrim because he visits many nations. He

took this action to learn and experience more so that he might help
his fellow humans. Aside from that, his travels were important for his
nation since they taught us things and aided in the liberation of the
nation from colonial rule.

The Song of the Traveler What is the patriotic value of the poem? Show a particular words
and phrases to prove your answer.
Answer:

One of this poem's patriotic lessons is that no matter where you

travel, it will never be the same as being in your home country. When
you are with loved ones and in the location, the feelings, happiness,
and fulfillment will not be the same. The phrase Little, ah, little they
know what a void, aches his spirit by the lack of love, illustrates this.

My Last Farewell What is the meaning of this: Rizal’s Ultimo Adios has to “go out to
the world in enigmatic form?”
Answer:

It implies that Rizal's final farewell to the world must be shrouded in

mystery. It must be challenging for his fellow Filipinos to
comprehend. But when the moment is right, people must comprehend
the price Rizal paid for his nation.
