relations with her.

Noli Me
Tangere:
Nationalist
and
Revolution
The 2nd novel of Rizal was
different from the prequel, for
it emphasized the ideology
and principles that a true
Filipino should have. That is
the intense love for the
country. Nationalism might
be easily be perceived as an
act of loving one's country
and nationality, an act of
loving your own country and
of its principles.
Jose Rizal was betting his hope for the new generation.
He referred the youth in his poem A la Juventud Filipina
as the hope of the nation. He set an example on how to
love one's country and principle as he fought for his
country until his last breath. Dr. Jose Rizal did perceive to
revolt and fight for the country, but in a manner that was
different from the other common perception of revolution
and that was an act of waging war for freedom or an act
that will result in death and bloody fights. But for Him, a
peaceful revolution.
