Visual Imagery – stars, grass, leaves, birds, flowers, Auditory Imagery – sound, rustling, chirping, buzzing, flapping Kinesthetic Imagery – tend, re-arrange, weed, harvest, do again 4. Words that are grouped or placed in such a way that they make sense have been used in the poem "Earnest Wish." It used three different forms of imagery: visual, auditory, and kinesthetic. The poem has used a rhythmic pattern to improve its quality and make it pleasant to listen on the ear. 5. The author addressed the poem's ideas by detailing her views carefully about what she wanted to do in the first three stanzas so that when the readers read the fourth stanza, it was well understood by the readers why she wrote and why she wanted to do such things. Activity 2: Understanding the Context Directions: 1. Padre Faura recounted an interaction he had with Jose Rizal in the Manila Observatory, in which Jose Rizal queried about Purgatory. The purpose of Rizal's question is because he then thinks that he is about to be executed. Rizal's cheeks, he said, are still ruddy even after what he's been through. It solely shows that Rizal was not scared of dying because he believed that he was on the right side. He was willing to give his life for his country. Also, he stated that even if Rizal was killed, he was still shimmering because of his attainments to the country. It was tough seeing your beloved student being executed in front of you. 2. It depicts that Padre Faura witnessed Rizal’s execution where it has been explicitly mentioned, that Padre Faura was clearly anxious and frightened at the execution on the roof of Ateneo Municipal since his location made him shiver with cold. He might be full of sorrow seeing the death of his student. 3. Padre Faura, one of Jose Rizal's favorite mentors, had his nurse take him to the Azotea de Ateneo overlooking the Bagumbayan (today's Rizal Park) despite having a fever. He intends to see for himself the final hours of his beloved Pepe in the stillness of the early morning of December 30, and then he heard the shots that ended his beloved student, Pepe's, life for good, shots that hit not only his ears but also his heart. With tears streaming down his cheeks, he asked to be taken back to his infirmary room. I believe Rizal’s sacrifice was memorable and inspiring for everyone. His death empowered Filipinos to fight the Spaniards for freedom. Activity 3: Knowing Author’s Context 1. The environment depicts the author's location in nature, which was a farm surrounded by trees and plants. I imagined that she was on a farm as she described things that are usually seen somewhere outside the city. 2. There was an enhanced community quarantine (ECQ) or lockdown because of the COVID–19 pandemic. 3. The author wants us to bring the front liners back home, fight the unforeseen enemy, help the new beginning, contribute to the humanity, flatten the curve, and stay at home. She wants us to be responsible in the midst of a pandemic. What I Can Do p.13 Stargazing Skies darker than midnight Eyes wider than owl Freshened grasses beneath us Splattered stars above us A cold breeze creeps Turning our nose blue The horizon has a glow Will the lights come through?
