PHENOMENAL WOMAN
by: Maya Angelou

Interpretation:

A woman who is very extraordinary in the eyes of other people. She tends to be swarmed by many, unlike other girls who did many surgeries for them to be more attractive, but still not. In this poem, it states that the phenomenal woman there is very confident, because she's proud the way she is. She's proud of her uniqueness unlike others. This can also relate to those people, specifically those women who's not confidently living. As what the poem states, it is only you who can show yourself, depending on how are you going to bring it.

Interpretation:

As you've seen in the poster above, it was just people who merely washing clothes. But if we try to dig deeper, what does this really says? For me, this is a picture that depicts the reality of life. The people or the person there symbolizes you. The dirty clothes symbolizes your problems. The river symbolizes your choice on how are you going solve your problem. First, you need to separate the white from the colored shirts, that signifies on what are you going to do first. Are you letting the whites to be mixed by the colored or not? It says that, are you going to consider your problem just be it, or start solving them one by one? Next, you brushed all the stains and dirt in the shirt, that signifies your effort on solving your problem. Finally after brushing it, you rinse it in the river, that signifies on finishing and accepting it wholeheartedly. Whatever it hard  can be, you are just the only one who can really solve your own problem, and it is up to you on how are you going to accept it in the end.

LEYTE 

LEYTE (English)

Island of nothing,

Tower of suffering,

Mystery of hunger,

Star of Cancabato,

Playground of the South Wind and rainstorms,

Bulwark of Queen Imelda,

Maker of copra for the Ang Gos,

Bouy for those without salvation,

Manufacturing plant of children,

Trail of typhoon Yolanda,

For all these, we still love you.

Leyte (Waray)

Isla han kawarayan,

Torre han kasakit,

Misteryo han gutom,

Bitoon han Cancabato,

Uruyasan han habagat ngan madlos,

Baluarte ni Reyna Imelda,

Koprasan han mga Ang Go,

Salbabida han mga waray salbasyon,

Hirimoan hin damo nga kabataan,

Agian han bagyo Yolanda,

Hinigugma ka pa gihapon namon.

Reflection: 

      Leyte is now a famous place, because of typhoon Yolanda. Before, it was a peaceful place, but now, even a heavy rain can traumatized many people. In this poem, it states that even how many hardships and problems does Leyte have, people who are living there, still love and believe in their own place.
