1. What do you feel reading "the Molave" What did the poet mean when he wrote "not yet, rizal, not yet. Sleep not in peace"

* I felt Happiness because I realize that everyone has the ability to change and improve their lives and their environment, if we are just willing to make an effort and put in some time and hard work. I’m also proud to the hospitality of each Filipinos and their willingness to help other people especially other cultures. * The Main point of the Poetry is to emphasize that Filipinos must work together to make the nation stronger. It is also states that a region of the Philippines/Rizal cannot yet rest, as there is still much work to be done to make the area successful.

2. What is “Sa Poetry” about? * It is a poem with An Contrary in terms of style in such a way that it is “Taglish”. The poetry talks about how we should start our own poem, it is said that start course with memories, meaning we should brainstorm and think of the possible experiences even though it is negative or positive the main point is that it is part of your past. And anything that we can express our feelings with. It also that in making poem you should experience Ups and Down For Example like in a Puzzle sometimes we should get it 1 by 1 until we put back it together like in making poem trying to put in words that sometimes not only have to rhyme but to have meaningful and sense as well.

3. What is the relationship of the father and son in the poem? “father”? mention the lines in the poem that highlights their relationship. * The Relationship of the father and the son is complicated and not so close to each other. It is like the best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart. * 1. “That three me off your sorry hint”. – It has something to do with the father who tries to Apologize to His Son.
2. “Must everything begin and end with tension” – In this line it is very noticeable that there is something wrong between the Father and Son. It’s like one of them can’t say what he had inside.
3. “upon a sad peace, bent towards time” – In this line it’s like a Cold War in which there is silent misunderstanding between the father and son which take long time.

Summary of No. 3: * The Father that is being referred in the poetry is a lonely man. The memories and fights with his son are the reason behind. If only he could take his son’s place in order for him to save his sick son.
