1. Some of the conditions Father Superior informed Father Obach was that Rizal
should perform the church rites and make general confession of his past life and
that Rizal must retract his errors concerning religion, and make statements that
were clearly pro-Spanish and against revolution.
2. Jose Rizal and Josephine Bracken met when Josephine Bracken brought his
stepfather to Jose Rizal because of his eye concerns. This was also the chance of
Jose and Josephine to bloom their relationship.
3. What made Jose Rizal’s stay in Dapitan eventful was how he spent his last years
in helping his community, he emphasized the importance of education by
teaching the children there, he also practiced being a doctor there.
4. Yes, because he knew that his pen was mightier than the sword and he knew
that forming a revolution that entails violence against the colonizers was nearly
impossible and would only hurt many Filipinos.
5. If I were Rizal during his time, I don’t think I will have the same guts and courage
as him because he was also a man who had wisdom and knowledge on things.
He was an exemplar for the Filipinos to give importance on education as it may
become your weapon to attain things that could help the country. I also don’t
think I could handle that much pressure of being antagonized by a whole branch
of government and being subjected to execution.
