This is one of the nicest papers I have made for Comm2.
Renato, Malèna and the Fascist Italy
I was at an excited stage when we talked about the movie Malèna after watching it. Our professor cited different tools that a good writer and director use. These are contradictions, parallelisms, redundancies, symbolisms and subtle ideas. Reviewing a movie is like analyzing a painting—not a what-you-see-is-what-you-get case. My first plan in making this review is to view what, why and how the writer made use of the tools but I am quite intrigued with a single one—parallelisms. I am having fun connecting ideas of different realms; it is like an unimaginable intersection of two lines from different planes. In connection with this, I am mystified why the director (Tornatore) and the writers (Tornatore and Vincenzo) placed the plot in Italy during the fascist regime of Benito Mussolini. What I mean is there should be a sensible connection between the plot and the setting otherwise it is nothing but useless. And here I am, trying my best to understand Tornatore and Vincenzo.
This is one of my papers in Comm2. We were asked to write a paper about our greatest belief in life. The geek me, happened to wtite a political belief while some of my blockmates wrote about love, freedom and etc.
The Philippine Political Stardom
In the Philippine Politics, turncoatism seems to be a hobby and a play-time activity of most politicians. Many political scientists agree that turncoatism is a strong blood in the veins of Philippine electoral politics. Throughout the decades, it is quite impossible that there is no shifting of parties within the national electorates and even in the localities. It seems to be natural, as one voter may say. What are the candidates’ motives for changing political parties? According to Annie Ruth C. Sabangan, Senior Reporter of The Manila Times, other than for winning the election, there appears to be none. The angelic and even heavenly peace offerings of these turncoats to someone of another political party tend to be so much amusing for the Filipino audience. The citizens may agree so because they would think it is about time to “reunite” and to “have a peaceful politics”. Their motherhood statements feigning sincerity that they switched parties for “unity” and/or to “bring back the people’s trust in government”—are the common things they do and say to cloak their particularistic motives (Sabangan).
This is our first Comm2 class activity- a debate about homosexual marriage. This paper is rushed!
Homosexual Marriage: A Position Paper
We oppose to the motion that homosexual marriages should be allowed in the Philippines. In this position paper, we will be presenting arguments that will prove that homosexual marriage in the country is both immoral and illegal. We will begin by examining the motion. In the motion, two critical group of words can be found—homosexual marriages and the country Philippines. In other words, the affirmative side wanted to install such policy in our country. What we will be doing is to associate both parts in the arguments so that it would perfectly fit what we are fighting for.
