"A reflection"--- by Rany Nagamos Navarra

"Reading is a medium on developing our writing skills." it also gives new insights to the reader as they reflect on it"

Silas Marner 

    The novel Silas Marner is the story of how a linen weaver is socially exiled by his peers because of their misunderstanding of him. The exile continues until a key figure, Eppie, restores his personal and social status within the town. 

 By reading this story I realized that:

"Wrong judgement" sometimes leads to criticism. Like what happened to Silas.

"Misfortune may come to us, but there are always reasons for it. From that we will learn to be strong. "

"In times that we are down there are person/s who will help us stand from falling and renew our faith that will boost our determination to overcome those challenges."

"It is true that money is the Root of all evils"

Paradise Lost

       Paradise Lost  reminds me about Adam and Eve—how they came to be created and how they came to lose their place in the Garden of Eden, also called Paradise. It's the same story you find in the first pages of Genesis, expanded by Milton into a very long, detailed, narrative poem. It also includes the story of the origin of Satan. Originally, he was called Lucifer, an angel in heaven who led his followers in a war against God, and was ultimately sent with them to hell. Thirst for revenge led him to cause man's downfall by turning into a serpent and tempting Eve to eat the forbidden fruit.

I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud

A creation of William Wordsworth that is a lyric poem and focuses on the poets response to the beauty of nature.

It illustrates how beautiful God's creation is which encourages us to its highly appreciation.

He made this poem for us to value its beauty and even discover the hidden treasure..

Chambered Nautilus

A poem by Oliver Wendell Holmes which compares human with the nautilus. He wants to grow and not to go backward. Our goal should be to make each year better and more dignified than the previous.

The last five lines of the poem speak of growing out from a weak past (small chamber), creating new and better years (bigger chambers), continuing to create more precious years (even bigger chambers), and dying (leaving the shell on the beach).
