**Analysis of Padre Faura Witnesses the Execution of Rizal** The text is about what Padre Faura would have thought about Rizal's Execution. The text also includes some of the things Padre Faura and Jose Rizal had talked about. The writer put himself on Padre Faura's eyes and conveyed something about the execution. Padre Faura noticed Rizal's state or mood before the execution that was why he concluded that Rizal was not afraid to die because he did what is right. Danton Remoto, the author, used first person point of view, but he used the persona of Padre Faura. He talks as if he witnessed the execution of Rizal, and he based the things he said on how he know Padre Faura. The poem started by stating Padre Faura's thoughts and feelings during the morning when Rizal was to be executed. Padre Faura was shivering. The probable reason why he was shivering because he was worried about Rizal who would soon be executed. He then recalled something that happened between him and Jose Rizal in the Manila Obeservatory when Jose Rizal asked him about Purgatory. The reason why Rizal asked this is because he already feels that he could be killed. After that, he stated Rizal's mood and state before the execution. He said that Rizal's cheeks are still ruddy even after everything that he was experiencing. This only proves that Rizal was not afraid to die because he knew himself that he was on the right side. He was ready to die for his country.  THE NOVEL **"THE REVOLUTION ACCORDING TO RAYMUNDO MATA"** BY *GINA APOSTOL* - Plays on postmodern theories about **[Metafiction and Historiographical Metafiction]** **Metafiction-** the reader is conscious of the craft of literature because the author makes the reader more aware of the way literature is written. **Historiographical Metafiction**- the author makes the reader aware of the constructed nature of fiction and as well as the constructed nature of history. **Randy David**- explains how Marcos was able to sell a "revolution from the center", tapping on people's beliefs that the problems of the Philippines stemmed from people's laziness, selfishness, and undisciplined nature.
