Laughter

Laughter by Maningning Miclat, my analysis for me I think, there's a lovers who find happiness with each other. And they sharing each other memories. I think also that the the man in this poem not understand what's trying to tell the woman. And after that he left the girl because of many problems. I think that "laughter" signifies that even there's a lot of problems, to forgot it, you need to laugh. I also think that Maningning wrote that poem bacause of this struggles or trials in her life.

TANAGA

Two towers above the sky,

it's like a dream in my mind,

twin tower like a firefly,

that brights my life through my mind.

My reflection to the story of Servant Girl by Estrella D. Alfon, is was a nice story. because after I read this story I realize that anger does not control ourselves, but we need to control the anger by ourselves, because there's always a way to control it. And as a servant girl its hard for them to sacrifice all the things they want, because as I read this story she spend her time to wash clothes and the money she earned is she gave it to his mistress. And last girls have to find good guy for them.

John the baptist, he is a preacher who led a movement of Baptism at the Jordan River in expectation of a divine apocalypse that would restore occupied Israel. John followed the example of previous Hebrew prophets, living austerely, challenging sinful rulers, and promising God's justice.
