AMERICAN COLONIZATION




          American colonization is very important in our lives. Not because they gives us the chance to rise from the downfall from the spanish government. But because they teach us how to heal the wound made by the spaniards. They also teach us good education, moral education, etc. The most important is the literature that they give. Because it enlightens our life, colors our life and to teach us how to value every little things. American thought Filipino's how to stand with their own feet without the help of other people. American help Filipino's to stand out over the cruelness, greediness, and animalistic doings of spaniards in the Philippines that time. American heal the scars in the heart of Filipino's made by the cruel spaniards. American's gives us Filipino, good education here in the Philippines because they want to the Filipino's be a civilized and aducated persons like them. 

          But we are thankful for the spaniards because without them, we won't have a catholic religion here in the Philippines. Spaniards made many events here in the Philippines.  Like fiesta, Dinagyang festival, Aswang festival, etc. They also gave color in our lives. But when the American's arrived from the Philippines, Filipino's celebrating for their comming. Because American's left a big part in the heart of the Filipino's, and that's education. They teach us also democracy in that time and to be an independent person , not only for our self, but also to our family. I read this very famous line from one of the most novel made by Dr. Jose P. Rizal, " Together we stand, divided we fall. " In that line, i realized, we, as a Filipino, do our best for the beautification in our country, but still, be humble always. But when the whole world are against you, be strong, don't be too selfish to share your problems to your relatives, friends, advisers, etc.. because sometimes, they're all you've got. That's why Americans thought us be a civilized person.

          American Literature teach us how to live our life to the fullest. It illuminates our soul, coloring our lives, enlightens our life and to teach how to value every little things. It depends on how the people or person appreciate the literature. It brings joyful and happiness to each and every person specially to the kids who started to go to school, because they like listening to the stories, myths, folk tales, folksongs, and many more, because kids are very curious to what happened in the story, so they want to know the real topic of that story to know them the moral lessons based on the story that they read. They also like folksongs, it brings communication and enjoyment to them that makes unity and cooperation to have more friends in the school. The global future teachers must know the literature better, because they handling many persons. So, they must teach fluently and very well-organized the literature to the students. Knowing the history of literature was very important, because everytime we read stories our comprehension and vocabulary would be wider and wider. Through the simple analogies, students know the real meaning of the story and the mysterious, hidden part of it. So, aapreciate LITERATURE as part of our lives, love LITERATURE as own yours, be part of it, as one community, because LITERATURE IS LIFE.
