Reconstructed Portrait of Juan Dela Cruz Essay

ReflectionThis kind of article is somewhat made to be jolly upon criticism although some of his statements argon true but need adequate citation of example. The authors points are thoughts of a typical charlatan incline 101 passer that wants to show off his talent in composition of proses like this one. Nevertheless, I will give my comments on the statement given by him.First, the authors claim of Filipinos uniqueness when it comes to humor didnt work. The statement people making fun of their own mistakes makes me think of humorous videos of other races express feelings at their own mistake, the statement doesnt prove the uniqueness of the subject.And the part of the said article where sense of humor is talked about comes with a complicated mise en scene that it blends the positive and negative statement in one part of the text. He couldve written it in a flow which either of the two statements comes first. Second, the issue of the Filipinos dissertation foreign languages for th em (foreigners) to appreciate the hospitality of the natives it doesnt seem to make a sense. For all I know, its a part of tourism. This statement proves that we only enliven the foreigners by speaking their language in our country and they do not speak our language in their country when we visit as tourist is baseless, the foreigners discipline us their language and vice versa it serves as a souvenir, a token of knowledge. Maybe the author doesnt know that we learn konichiwa, aloha, que tal? and they learn mabuhay, kumusta ka and mahal kita through this mean, it is hospitality Mr. author.Third, describing the creativeness of Filipinos by mentioning when there is a big flood, they take it to their advantage to go up on the roofs of their houses to fish tilapia for their dinner. this has nothing to do with creativity and inventiveness, climbing up the roof on a big flood is not creative, it is matter of life and death, they are not there to go fishing, they are trying to save thei r lives Mr. author.Fourth, the claim of us Filipinos being great violators is a mere blindjudgment and an exposition of colonial mentality violating street signs, eat medically prohibited food, buying pirated goods, walang ganyan sa states? I dont think so. American people do these things worse than we do.Fifth, cramming is compared to the story of Juan Tamad, I dont really think its related at all.
