Analysis Literature is an art form in a way that it invokes within each of us a different perceptions that is unique to an separate. Every individual has his own point of view, a window in which we view the world. Therefore, the way we learn literature is the comparable as viewing the same star, however, from different separate of the world. Same star, but a different angle.Art for me is a mouth of a hundred people speaking loudly and differently in sync, because we see art as it is physically but the way we think of it is never the same. We give them all different meaning in our different points of view. I could say that this story is easy to read so I could gladly recommend this to peers. The story is peace and the actions are constantly interesting. level I didnt take more than tailfin or six sittings to read it entirety. The bulk is narrative and is a prose which made it easier to understand than poetry which has deep words and having implied meanings which made it harder to find its real meaning .As we could see on the cover of the support, is a Jeep. Its not real, it is a wooden engraved Jeep which is usually found in a Philippine gift shops since a Jeep has a big role played in every Filipinos lives. They use this as a mode of transportation but they still know to deal with the traffic. Just this semester I afford experienced a sensation of extreme laughter with facts stated in the story, problems of the 3rd world countries. He was able to put witty Jokes within serious situations within our country today.Example he rotating brown outs and him (Vince) having to resort to alternative ways to get more water for rinse off of the melted ice and the left over mineral water in the pitcher he found in the refrigerator. Though people in the Philippines have to pump waters in a big bin to prepare themselves for the brownout and water rotation. Or having to ride the Jeep for commuters. We all know that many a(prenominal) Filipinos are now migrating to 1st world countries seeki ng a better future, but There would always be this feeling of home sickness. Missing those function grew up with, being far away from your comfort zone.Its not a great feeling. I remember in the story where its stated that youre not a Filipino if you havent ridden a Jeep before. This part of the story is another trivia given in the novel. Another fact is that no Jeep is the same as the other. They may be a comparable in terms of brand, having the same entrance but its decoration differs. This shows the creativity of the pinots. A Jeep was left by the Americans after the world war II and the Filipinos bought them from the Americans, looking dull, the Filipinos thought of decoration it.Up until now this is still practiced Hough in my opinion the Jeep is the least impressive mode of transportation, stopping in every possible passengers, having a far rotation and is main(prenominal)ly the cause of traffic because of stopping Just anywhere anytime. Even the thought of Papas City Mall, Harrison plaza, Quip church where Vince and Kuris the massacre queen met gives a lot of memories back. In the things I have shared in my last divide I have shown a little about the parole. The book describes the contemporary Philippine life which brings up memories and associations of the life lived by our parents not so Eng ago.This book for me is highly relatable because the way I see it majority of professionals, even non-professionals, leave the country seeking a better life. Upon reading this book it could bring back a lot of long forgotten memories of the foreigners once called Filipinos. It is an unfortunate event in the country that almost at least one member in the family leaves for abroad leaving them home sick and depressed. Those who seek being found in a world which you feel you do not belong to this book is the best to, those so called Offs are best audience for this novel.The book Lech is a good book since the author actually wrote it through firsthand experience. Since he left the Philippines he felt homesick and wrote a book about what he could remember about motherland. It shows that you should appreciate what you have now until its all gone. When he was able to step on motherland steps he wasnt getting any of what he is expecting yet he still is feeling happy having to reconnect to his ult and remembering the moments he had with his 1010, even those he has with his siblings back when they were still a child.The main point of this story s that even if youve been far from home for a long long period of time there would always be a little of yourself left in that place that youd long to meet once again and someday youd dream of seeing that place you once knew and loved. Just like everyone says theres no place like home and even though hes attained a lot in his recent location going home is still worth more than anything in the world, knowing that in San Vaccine is once his and his grandfathers welkin he would always wonder back to the fee lings he had way back with his LOLL.Everyone knew he had this facial connection with his grandfather a love so strong that they bond by reading books. Even in silence they feel their special connections that they have because his grandfather is all his got after being left by his parents when they went to Hawaii. Another fun fact about it is the tourist tips. It really is a good books for balalaikas who is like Vince who is unable to come back home in a very long time. These tips actually are really useful if youre a foreigner or a balalaikas to give you a heads up if youre clueless of what you major power deal with upon returning to the Philippines.Its really interesting how he really expressed those fun facts about the Philippines as well as the people in the place. umpteen parts of the book shows Vince having flashbacks. Since he was unable to come home in thirteen years he had a lot of recollecting to do. Simply manila gave him a lot of reminiscing but of course it was always in his home town where all his memories are stored. The book is still applicable in modern times. Those past experiences shared in the book is still relevant in the lives of many people traversing our 7, 107 islands today.Socialites, lovelier, separation from implies, poverty, government, immigration of professionals still at large. Reading a book where you can relate to is one thing about a book. Reading something and in the middle youll be saying ay lam OK yang antipodean OK yang ay tama nag Gangway nag Yuan is a great feeling because you get to know the inner you. You as a citizen of this fair country. One of the main problem is sexuality, the acceptance of the 3rd gender. Another thing is he showed how gays are, for me they are still of the same gender, male/female, who are misunderstood.Is it because they act as the opposite of what the crowd together think a gender should act they should see it as a wrong doing? This book makes us realize to be more open-minded about serio us things happening around us. An epic end to this epic essay, Lech in Spanish is milk yet in this story it symbolizes many things like the bar where Vince wanted Dante to take him after being drunk or as an expression used when shocked or mad. Though this book gist different things, in my opinion like the expression we usually use LECH being a part of our culture, like Vince whatever happens the Philippines will always be a big in his life.
