Reaction Of Heneral Luna

The most important main idea was when he referenced his own relation with the assassination because he could relate and he understands what they are going through. The main idea is that everyone should come together as one and not act in violence but act in peace. The main idea developed

The reason this film was able to do that is through the way that director Miguel Coyula was able manipulate so many of the images within his shots to fit the interview and add emphasis to the words of Alcides. I have not studied Cuba’s history much, so I found this film to be incredibly informative. I loved Rafael Alcides’s story! This film was a very abstract form of art that was a little difficult to process. I am still trying to grasp it all, but overall I found that this film accomplished everything that it set out to do. The best part of going to this event was being able to stay for the Q & A session following the movie with director Miguel Coyula. I learned a lot more about how Coyula was able to manipulate his shots and animate certain portions of the film. Coyula also explained that this film is heavily censored in Cuba. In fact, he told us that he is banned from showing his film in Cuba. This film was also rejected by the Miami Film Festival because of their being so many Cubans who could see it and by Michael Moore and his Detroit Film Festival because of the negative messages about Cuba this film might send. To sum up the whole event, I am so happy that I was able to attend this showing; I learned a lot about Cuba, the Cuban Revolution, and the devastation that many Cubans feel after the failure of the

The Filipino people had helped the US fight the Spanish-American War in hope to gain independence in return. However, instead of gaining independence the Philippines was annexed to the United States on December 10, 1898. When the Filipino’s had found they were going to be ruled over once again they were very unhappy, after all they had helped the US. When Aguinaldo had found out that the Philippines were going to be controlled by the US, he had declared war on the United States.

This comic mocks at the American’s diplomacy as a man with a moustache with a huge key in front of the door of China (Document G). It is presumed for the other people waiting outside the gates to be the other countries, waiting to meet with China (Document G). This depiction of the US explains the role that the United States wants to play with the rest of the other countries. They take a passive role on expansionism, playing the diplomat that watches over the other countries enter into China (Document G). Additionally, the US wants to see other neighboring countries thriving, and those that know how to act with reasonable efficiency and decency in social and political matters will have a friendship with the US (Document F). As stated, the United States played a crucial role in the freedom of the Philippines from Spain. President McKinley appointed the Philippine Commission in 1899 to set up a Filipino government with William H. Taft leading the Commission. This strive to create a government for the Filipinos, establishes the morality of the United States, playing the helpful

Antonio Marez- A young boy who is torn between his parents: a Marez and a Luna. But with the help of Ultima, he discovers his own destiny. He thirsts for knowledge: he is a curios boy, an outstanding student, and a questioning worshiper.

By showing an example of courage to counter the bravery against the America and their domination which shows that they have no fear and they did not lost their hope in life. Rather, they manage to endure, no matter what comes to their front in the matter of their oppression they still try to fight not just being silent. As the authors pointed out that the league insist about imperialist ideas that “Much as we abhor the war of "criminal aggression" in the Philippines, greatly as we regret that the blood of the Filipinos is on American hands, we more deeply resent the betrayal of American institutions at home.” There is no doubt that the America portrayed a great state but their doing of evil things of killing people is not tolerable to any human history. Also, it hard to find out if the enemy is the own homeland and support the America’s domination as they not only the breaking the trust of the country as they reason for the death of the other

In my opinion, the author, Ruta Sepetys, moves the novel in an interesting fashion. I liked how there are many characters and how there is a lot of things happening. The author kept the reader interested at all times throughout the novel. The author, Ruta Sepetys, who writes historical non fiction books just as this novel, was born the daughter of a Lithuanian Refugee which may have influenced her to write this very novel. It is geared in a positive way due to Joana, a main character in the novel, helping to portray this with her nursing skills. Seeing the book in the Character of Joana’s eyes affects the overall novel in many different ways. Some may be on Joana’s good side and others may be on her bad side.

Although, throughout the film there were moments that seemed to be irrelevant, yet it is possible not to have caught all the subtle symbolisms. Since reading Sundiata, in some particular moments, there was a hidden personal expectation of the direction the scenarios could have went. Overall, the film left an impact, as to self reflection and relating to my personal life. Especially, as the parents within the film dispute over who knows best for Mabo, allows the viewer to see that is an universal conflict. The characters within the film all brought a different perspective to the storyline. Though when observing the characters, Mabo left an impression, the viewer can connect with him as he learns of his ancestors through an illustrious story while trying to live his own

Reading this book is an emotional roller coaster ride. At first there was an hollow feeling in my stomach. This was due to all the family related incidents. “Even as scared as I was by the jail, I wanted to sit on the floor outside the cell bars and hold his hand because he needed me” (Jimmy Santiago Baca 2). The quotation shows the bond between father and son. Baca was being self-sacrificing, willing to endure the pain with Damacio in prison. The hollow feeling continued when learning about the hardship that faced Cecilia. “‘You were so drunk you don’t even remember.’ Tears streamed down her cheeks” (Jimmy Santiago Baca 9). I can sympathize for Cecilia because an associate close to me has been a victim of rape. I have witnessed how the event

With increasing frequency the guerillas (the independent military who fights the government military) and soldiers engage in battle at night, regardless of the people who live all around. The homes are damaged by gunfire and mortar and many of the town’s people are killed.

His story was told by her daughter, Ito who narrated the whole movie. Therefore, it can be said that this movie is based on the fond memories of her father. She was still very young when these incidents happened which changed her father’s life irrevocably.

“Homage” was very interesting because it was one of the very few times that a reader feels bad for the villain. He feels that he doesn’t belong anywhere and he migrates from border to border to find a home, but he never does. Killing the political figure means nothing to him because no government has ever helped him out. In fact, they have probably made his life harder which gives the assassin justification. Also, the story opened my eyes to the fact that there are layers behind a political murder. I have never thought too deeply about the death of a political figure. We are taught that this person murdered him and that is the end of the story. What “Homage” shed light on is that maybe it is not just black and white. What if the assassin was

Niki Caro, the director, uses several elements to create scene changes, shifts in mood, etc. When Porourangi, Paikea’s dad, was showing some images to the family and suddenly there were some pictures of his new girlfriend who was expecting. Koro asked the people to leave the room and both started arguing about Porourangi’s new family. Koro’s words were heard by Paikea when he said referring to Paikea, “She is no use to me.” It was a very intense moment when Paikea left the room and went outside to sit in the boat parked in the sand. Her dad went to her encounter and sat next to her. The shift to this scene showed vulnerability from both characters. Dad hugged her and both of them were in tears. Paikea defended her grandfather by saying, “He

He writes in a language, and he uses a lot of metaphorical features. We as readers are very confused about the way he has chosen to describe the story, but we are also very fascinated by the action. So whole this short story tells us that he has had a tragic life and how he helps others achieve a good life and you can say here that he has a good point.
