Transcript of Like A Molave/Coordinating Conjunctions
Mechanics of the Game
Divide the class into two groups.
Each group will be assigned to
arrange the pieces of puzzle to them.
Each participating group will be given
one minute to form the puzzle. After
solving the puzzle, one member of
the group will shout “puzzle the title”.
The leading group will have the
chance to guess the title of the
poem out of the puzzle. If the group
fails to guess the correct title, the
chance will be given to the second
leading group.
The group who could give the
correct title will be declared as the
winner.
Our shoulders are not
strong; our sinews are
grown flaccid with
dependence, smug
with ease under
another's wing. Rest
not in peace;
Not yet, Rizal, not yet.
The land has need
of young blood-and, what
younger than your own,
Forever spilled in the
great name of freedom,
Forever oblate on the altar of
the free? Not you alone,
Rizal. O souls
And spirits of the martyred
brave, arise!
Arise and scour the land!
Shed once again
your willing blood! Infuse the
vibrant red
into our thin anemic veins;
Until we pick up your
Promethean tools and,
strong,
Out of the depthless matrix of
your faith
in us,
Until our people, seeing, are
become like the Molave,
firm, resilient, staunch,
rising on the hillside,
unafraid,
Strong in its own fiber, yes,
like the Molave!

What does the author want to imply in
these lines,
Not yet, Rizal, not yet. Sleep not in
peace:
There are a thousand waters to be
spanned;
there are a thousand mountains to be
crossed;
there are a thousand crosses to be
borne.
What does these lines mean?
Our shoulders are not strong;
our sinews are
grown flaccid with dependence,
smug with ease
under another's wing.
