    PURPOSE OF THE TEXT: Jose Rizal wrote Noli Me Tangere during the time of the Spanish occupation in the Philippines. The novel is a reflection of what the Filipinos were going through during that time. He wrote it to open the eyes of the Filipinos to the reality that they were being oppressed. Rizal's book persistently unmasks contemporary Spaniards in the Philippines of every kind. He exposes corruption and brutality of the civil guards which drive good men to crime and banditry. He focuses on an administration crawling with self-seekers, out to make their fortune at the expense of the Filipinos, so that the few officials who are honest and sincere are unable to overcome the treacherous workings of the system, and their efforts to help the country often end up in frustration or in self-ruin.The Noli is Rizal's exposé of corrupt friars who have made the Catholic religion an instrument for enriching and perpetuating themselves in power by seeking to mire ignorant Filipinos in fanaticism and superstition. According to Rizal, instead of teaching Filipinos true Catholicism, they control the government by opposing all progress and persecuting members of the ilustrado unless they make themselves their servile flatterers.…

    Contrary to the belief of many, Jose Rizal did not ever wanted freedom from our oppressors, this was clearly written in the article. He only sought reform and some amendments which is by far so much different from what the Filipinos want way back then.…

There are aslo other college students who dont see the essence of studying the rizal course in their chosen field or career.

    Historians cannot deny that Rizal played a main part in the country’s struggle for reforms and independence. His writings had woken up the Filipino people and pushed them to take action against the Spanish. Especially ‘Noli me Tangere’ and ‘El Filibusterismo’. Summarising ‘El Filibusterismo’ it is a story about a man, Crisostomo Ibarra, who was wrongly accused by the Spanish government and was sent away. He returns to the Philippines as Simoun a rich jeweller with a beard and blue tinted glasses. He seeks revenge against the Spanish Philippines System who was responsible for his misfortunes and plots a revolution against them. These novels were viewed as guiding force for other patriots to rally for the country’s cause.…

    Writing is thought to be a easy hobby but we are mistaken. It is very hard to think of ideas and concepts related to a certain topic and expand to every detail and idea connected it. Although Jose Rizal is different because using his knowledge it is easy for him to transfer his ideas by his ink into his paper. His mother is the one who discovered this talent in writing poems and as he grows, his abilities in writing evolved into a great writing. He is also considered to e a historian. He can also be a columnist where he wrote different articles like the, The Filipino Farmers, his first article in the La Solidaridad. He is a great author, his Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo brought a great impact for the Filipinos. He foreaw that these twoliterary pieces would make such a deep impression on his country. We believe he did not. He knew, of course, that it did something. He was guided by a higher objective than writing a literary work for amusement, but we do not doubt that he never imagined, after giving the Noli the final flourish from his pen, that his novel would move his country's spirit, and prepare it for a major…

    He said he might be able to help me. I reflected and then decided to shorten the book, and eliminated whole chapters. . . . but these will have a place in the continuation. . . . I plan to publish seven volumes about Philippine conditions." • It was Maximo Viola who financed the publication of Noli Me Tangere • Bound copies were sent to Barcelona and Madrid • Dr. Viola will also bring Jose in a hiking trip to Germany, Switzerland, and Austria where they will also visit Dr. Adolph Meyer and Ferdinand Blumentritt • After a visit to Vienna, Rome, and a few other cities of Italy, Dr. Rizal took a ship from Marseilles and started home on July 5, 1887, at last ready to operate upon the cataracts in his mother 's eyes. Conclusion: Rizal’s life in Europe focuses on the ff. points: 1. That the other Filipino youth in Spain became lax in their studies, that made him disappointed; 2. That he focused so hard on his studies – taking up as many possible subjects as he can get 3. That he loved learning so much esp. on the languages that interests him 4. He found the liberal ideas in Europe that inspired him to write the Noli Me Tangere 5.

    In my education, however, he was a "nowhere man," to quote the Beatles, absent from the curriculum at the private schools I attended. I have no recollection of any course that examined his life and works. You would think that, at least on the university level--and I am a graduate of the Jesuit-run Ateneo de Manila University, whose most famous alumnus was this man--such a course would have been mandatory. Indeed, in theory it was, since 1956, when Republic Act 1425 mandated that schools had to have copies of Rizal's works in their libraries and that these were to be "included in the list of approved books for required reading in all public or private schools, colleges, and universities." But my college transcript, there in black and white, says otherwise. Strange, to say the least. At the time, knowing next to nothing about this late-nineteenth-century historical personage, primus inter…
