Composition of an idea about Dr. Jose Rizal with Complete details

José Protacio Rizal Mercado y Alonso Realonda 8 Compositions

 TO THE YOUTH
 Rizal wrote this literary poem when he was still studying at the University of Sto. Tomas
(UST).
 GOODBYE TO LEONOR
 During her 13th year, Leonor Rivera and Rizal met in Dagupan province. Letters and
photos were exchanged between them, even though they were separated geographically.
It wasn't long until Rizal learned that her lady love was being married to Henry Kipping.
As a result of his loneliness and grief, he wrote this gloomy poetry.
 TO THE YOUNG WOMEN OF MALOLOS
 As a result of Rizal's letter to the young ladies of Malolos, Filipino women are reminded
of Rizal's legacy. Filipino women of every sort are addressed in the book, from moms
and wives to single women of all ages. For women, Rizal encourages them to get an
education, maintain their dignity, honor, and live with courtesy.
 KUNDIMAN
 Man serenades his beloved with his "kundiman" (love song). this word comes from the
Tagalog expression "Kung Hindi man" (if it should be so). "The Philippines will one day
be free of deceit and injustice," Rizal said in his song.
 JUNTO AL PASIG
 When translated into English, the title of this work means Beside Pasig River. In response
to the Jesuits’ request, Rizal wrote this one-act play in the Spanish language for
the velada – a gala variety program during the principal feast days.
 NOLI ME TÁNGERE
 One of the most sought-after books in Philippine literature is Rizal's famous novel titled
Noli Me Tángere (Touch Me Not). The novel was written to expose the ills of Philippine
 society during the Spanish colonial era. As more Filipinos read the book, it opened their
eyes to the truth that they were being manhandled by the friars.
 EL FILIBUSTERISMO
 Rizal's second novel, El Filibusterismo (The Reign of Greed), has a darker tone than his
first. Crisostomo Ibarra, the revolutionary protagonist from Noli Me Tángere, is now a
rich jewelry mogul named Simoun. As a result of its portrayal of Spanish abuse,
corruption, and prejudice towards Filipino citizens during the time of its publication, the
novel was likewise prohibited.
 MI ÚLTIMO ADIOS
 "Mi ltimo adiós" (My Last Farewell) was one of Rizal's last compositions. His
association with the Katipuneros landed him in jail, where he was sentenced to death by
firing squad for crimes of sedition and rebellion. Letters were written to his birthplace
and people during his last days at Fort Santiago in Manila.

 Jose Rizal and Segunda Katigbak, a Batangueña, met when he was only a 16-year-old

man who lived in her town, and so the hero had to stop pursuing her.
 Leonor Valenzuela

letters, which he wrote using invisible ink made with water and salt. To read the
letters, Orang had to heat the letter over a candle or a lamp.
 Leonor Rivera
 Leanor Rivera and Jose Rizal lived the tragedies of Shakespeare's poems as they fell in
love when he was 18 and she was 13. Leonor's parents disapproved of their
relationship as they were wary of him being a "filibuster" to their Manila-based family.
In his letters, Rzal called Leonor "Taimis" to hide her identity to protect her identity
from her parents.
 Consuelo Ortega Y Rey
 Rizal met Consuelo Ortega Y Rey at the house of Don Pablo Ortiga Y Rey, who was
Mayor of Manila when Maria dela Torre was governor of the Philippines. He showed
 affection towards her but was not serious in his pursuit as he was still engaged to
Leonor Rivera at the time. Yes, he loved the company of women, but during that brief
period, he too was lonely and yearning for the physical void left by Leonor.
 Seiko Usui
 In 1888, Jose Rizal arrived in Japan to take a job at the Spanish Legation and fell in
love with Seiko Usui, affectionately called O-Sei-San. With the help of a Japanese

both English and French.

love with Gertrude Beckett, the eldest daughter of his landlord. He called her Gettie,

mutually shared. She assisted Rizal as he finished some of his popular sculptures,
"Prometheus Bound" and "The Triumph of Death over Life".
