My Review about the story of FRAY BOTOD

FRAY BOTOD

by: Graciano Lopez Jaena

Graciano Lopez Jaena is considered as a Father of the revolution against Spanish rule. Jaena left the Phillipines in 1880, shortly after the publication of "Fray Botod". Fray Botod, meaning Big Bllied Friar, is a character sketch written by Graciano Lopez Jaena in 1874 when he was only 18 years old. 
In this story says that the priest is the one who shows all the people what his attitude in our country. He is being a priest who abusive, cruel, lazy, indifferent, greedy and lustful. He particularly abhorred the abuses and greediness of the friars that his first written work was against this group of people. 
In our time today, many citizens do not allow themselves to abuse, and display incompetence as a human being because of the paradoxes of the parish priest as he was giving reasons for the people to fight and not to blame those who did nothing but to make the other people.

         TANAGA   "Tropa"     Tropang di nang iiwan   Barkadang laging nandyan  Laging maaasahan  Hindi lang sa tawanan   Kapatid ang turingan   Walang halong plastikan  Problema man ay nandyan  Laging natatakbuhan   Laging poprotektahan  Gulo man o rambulan  Lagi silang present dyan  Basta sa kalokohan.

The love of the guy for the girl is like a dead star, whose glow is still visible from the earth for years after they are gone.      I like this passage because it sounds so sad, yet it is full of meaning. Besides the fact that the title of the short story appears in this passage, which I think is really lovely (DEAD STAR). I think I can relate to this somehow, I think this passage talks about someone seeing something that is long gone, but knowing that is was there gone, but was there before. It's when you end up expecting something from someone for along time. When you finally get to talk to the person about it, it turns out that what you have been expecting before is gone, and yet you can still see that they were there before.   It is the one of the finest written love stories. I agree. It didn't only focused on the theme of love, but...
