THE VALLEY OF AMAZEMENT

In the novel The Valley of Amazement, Has inspired me a lot. This story teaches us to be confident, love and accept ourselves of who we are. Many persons will be ashamed and shy of how they look, move, speak, and etc. and are insecure of their “unique” features. Because we are unique, we must be “who we are” And also, loving and accepting ourselves first is the main priority before others will love and accept you also. We must also protect ourselves from different temptations and trials in our lives. Our very own dignity and value as a human person and as a child of God must be taken care of as we are created in God’s own image and likeness. Moreover, we are also the temple of the Holy Spirit that is why, we our bodies must be spiritually, mentally and physically clean.

The poem Apo on the Wall by Bj Patino is a poem that talks about his Father and the photo on the wall called "Apo". The poem also talk about Loyalty and Faithfulness of the soldiers.

In the poem there's a one lines that really about this poem is about the phrase Eyes are following me like he was the Scary Jesus in the Hallway saying "I know, I know what you are doing".

In the other parts, Apo on the Wall was about the darkest hour of dictatorship during Marcos regime. It also state the situation of the Child and his Father a Military officer who was treated as a pet by the Apo. The poem showed to us the reality of brutality of Martial Law which some people treated like an coward dog or an animal.

After reading the poem Apo in the Wall, My reaction is I felt embarrassed and worried about the next generation coming because we don't really truly know who can we trust, we don't even know who was saying the truth on their campaign that flying all around our streets, cities, or in any nation. And if our descendants made the biggest mistake thst affects the many lives of Filipino citizen.
