Hi. This is Marvin Morales, i hope this slide will help you in your studies in as an Bachelor of Secondary Education Major in English. i just want to share.
"May Day Eve" is a short story written by Filipino National Artist Nick Joaquin. Written after World War II, it became one of Joaquin's “signature stories” that became a classic in Philippine literature in English. Together with Joaquin's other stories like The Mass of St. Sylvester, Doña Jeronima and Candido’s Apocalypse, May Day Eve utilized the theme of "magic realism" long before the genre was made a trend in Latin American novels. Published in 1947, it is a story originally intended for adult readers, but has later become a required and important reading material for Filipino students.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

3. AGUEDA
• A BEAUTIFUL YOUNG WOMAN WITH LONG DARK HAIR.
SHE IS BOLD, LIBERATED AND A NON-CONFORMIST.
4. AGUEDA
• AS AN OLD WOMAN, SHE HAD A HARD, BITTER,
VENGEFUL FACE WITH GRAYING HAIR.
5. DON BADOY MONTIYA
• A YOUNG MAN WITH CURLY HAIR, A MUSTACHE AND A SCAR
ON HIS CHEEK. HE IS VAIN, PROMISCUOUS, A
STEREOTYPICAL MAN, WHO INTENDS TO PROVES HIS
MACHISMO.
10. •In Nick Joaquin’s May Day Eve, Agueda and Badoy’s
bitter marriage all began on a May night.
•Agueda and Badoy are two, completely diverse people.
11. •Agueda is a girl ahead of her time. She is boldand
liberated unlike most girls her age. She stands out from
the broad spectrum of conformists of her era.
•Badoy, who at first comes off as a stereotypical, forceful
man intent on proving his machismo, is more of a
promiscuous fellow who is used to getting his way. This is
shown in how he initially treats agueda.
12. •Badoy was a strong-willed young man, who just came from
Europe when he met Agueda. It was the defining incident that
clearly portrayed the inner anguish of Doña Agueda in her
marriage to a man she never loved. Men like Badoy had a
seemingly irresistible power over the society especially to
women like Agueda, enabling him to have her in the end.
Agueda was a beautiful and brave young girl who despised men
like Badoy. In this light, Badoy in the story was depicted as a
representative of men abusive of their superior status.
13. •The short story, May Day Eve, by Nick Joaquin carefully and
brilliantly depicted the status Filipino women had during in the
past. In this still seemingly patriarchal world, we
are somehow forced to believe that men are superior and that
women are just subordinate to men. This ideology was even
more highlighted in the past, where women were totally
deprived of the necessary rights that men had always enjoyed.
In the story, the vital issue of marriage, wherein women are
forced to marry men, was particularly portrayed.
14. •Women had lost the capacity to decide and fulfill
their own desires, making their lives almost
meaningless. Agueda in the story had died miserably
because her life was molded into something she
didn't wish. She was forced to marry don badoy
montiya because the latter had a tremendous desire
for her. Her whole life was spent grieving for the
situation she can't escape.
16. •THE TRAGEDY IS NOT THAT. THE TRAGEDY IS WHEN
BADOY·S HEART FORGETS HOW MUCH HE FELT FOR
AGUEDA. THETRAGEDY IS HOW BOTH WERE NOT
CAREFUL ENOUGH TO MEND THEIR DRIFTING
MARRIAGE.
17. •An irony surfaced in the latter part of the story: Doña
Agueda was telling her daughter about a devil she
saw in the mirror on a may day eve, while deep
inside she means the DEVIL to be her husband.
•As with Badoy, he illustrated his WITCH to his
grandson with features that were of his wife’s. This
just goes to show how each of them saw their
marriage.
18. •Both Badoy and Agueda perceived their marriage to
be a taste of hell. Instead of admitting that they saw
their spouses in the mirror, they claimed that it was
the witch/devil they saw for that was probably how
each of them was to each other during their life
together.
19. •Perhaps this was because the premise of their love
was based only on raging passion and nothing more.
Passion, after all, is evanescent and transitory. Love
cannot be based on passion alone. Their contrasting
attributes perhaps were what brought them together.
But it could also have been the root of the bitterness
that concluded their time together.
