Medals are rewards

And Then, Why?, a flash fiction story
And
Then, Why?
I
woke up like I never felt before, risen from a bed of clouds that made me
vivacious and the light was permeable from the window. I came out from my room
and looked for my family to share what’s inside me, but nobody was at home,
nevermind, rather because of bliss, I went to church just to give thanks but
unfortunately burial mass was ongoing. I thought twice, I looked straight to
the altar and my eyes glimpsed then wide-opened when I saw my family full of
sorrow, crying. I quickly ran thereto and asked panicky “why?” but no one
answered me, I looked who inside the casket, stared, and was totally horrified.

What’s inside the metal drum? : A critical analysis using feminism of the poem “The Conversion” by J. Neil Garcia
What’s
inside the metal drum? : A critical analysis using feminism of the poem “The
Conversion” by J. Neil Garcia.
The discrimination of girl-hearted man inflicts
acceptance. In the past generations,
they believed that a man being born biologically as a boy should act
masculinity while a woman should act femininity. In that perception, I do believe
that gays and lesbians are exist already yet endured and transgender that time
are not yet introduced because of poor technology: maybe those are some of the factors
why they can easily conceal who they really are, should I say, during those
times we should act appropriately and accordingly to our biological sex. In the
poem made by J. Neil entitled “The Conversion”, he was able to open up the
readers’ eyes on how gay is discriminated from family’s and relatives refusal
to rumors in the society, they believed that being gay is a scourge just like
an epidemic. Specifically, the metal drum that I’m referring to is a place
where the persona from the story of the poem got metanoia− a change in mind, from
gay he was forced to decide to change by abusing him for what the people
surrounds him wanted him to be for the best of him where was his father’s belief
that if he became straight man he will be accepted in the community, he
belongs. This critical analysis is discussing about the gay part of the persona
in the poem inside the metal drum where the conversion happened from gay to
straight man, we can say now that, this is anti-feminism because the feelings
of the girl part of the persona was not given an importance, not fought and
came with discrimination and denial. Also, the poem implies that a man have
more power that woman and no equity in terms of roles, aptitude and rights.
In the poem itself we can realize by reading then
analyzing on how could we say that the gay was being discriminated and why this
poem became anti-feminism. He was suspected by others based from his actions
that he is a gay causing rumors spreading to all the people in their community
together with his relatives, it hurts (from the lines of the poem 13-16). By
just showing or acting who you are, others got issues at once. Those times,
it’s too hard to socialize if you are different from them. Stated from the
lines of the poem 21-38, what’s the process of the diversion and how he was
being abused by his own father to change him forcefully. In particular, he was
dragged by his father down the stairs by his hair, his father always kept
booming, his father and his uncles punched him, bore him and drowned him in a
metal drum full of water. All this happened to him, to the persona, even just
the solution is acceptance but no one can be blamed if that is their culture
and belief. Since we are tackling about anti feminism, after he was converted
from gay to straight man, the proof of his manhood, transition is showed just
like his father did to him, he has more power to discriminate his wife, he has
order a lot, he hurt her, and his wife has more household chores and
responsibility to do to his children while he is enjoying miserable life, as
specified in the lines from the poem 47-63.
The poem is anti-feminism because what’s inside the metal
drum is an act or process of diversion, the conversion, but who is inside the
metal drum is the girl side of the persona who experienced discrimination,
anguish and life without love from others just him. The girl inside the metal
drum needs sympathy and help if not too late before she decided to stay and let
the boy’s freedom to live and came to more tragic situation. Also, the poem is
anti-feminism regardless my point of view, I agree that there is an equity and
equality between man and a woman. I just want to give emphasis the manners,
culture and the impact of being gay in the society during this generation. I do
believe that it has a relation why gays now are easily accepted than before. The
belief of the people that surround us especially our love ones affects the
decision we will make though we didn’t want it, we will do it, we will be the
one to adjust but fighting for who we are, for what is right is more
enthusiastic for us. Don’t think about how other people see you or think about
you as soon as you’re comfortable then go live life to the fullest supporting someone
who wants to bloom and fly without discriminating them.

Readers and Society Today
Readers
and Society Today
Reading is better than goggling information on the
internet. Reading is a fundamental or basic tool of learning and it is the act
of getting information in certain literature. However, goggling in the internet
is easy and fast but not sure and reliable. Getting information in the internet
is fast because you can get specific answers immediately for your questions
unlike in reading literature, you should skim, scan, interpret and summarize it
before you find out the answers.
Today, even though most of all people are using
technology for learning; it is still important to gain knowledge by the act of
reading literature because commonly all of the information inside the internet
is from the book too and all of the passage in the internet is in the form of
literature too. According to Ncz, 2017 (https://brainly.ph/question/612174), reading literature is more important
than googling information on the internet because: Google is not a reliable website, anyone can
alter and manipulate the body of any literary article online, reading
literature books will enhance the logic and critical thinking of the reader, reading
via Googled article using gadgets that has radiation might affect the brain's
natural functions, googling tempts the reader to skip and search for shortcuts
or summaries of any literary article, reading literature will enhance one's
comprehension and vocabulary because the reader will not search for the
summarized article but only the words to understand more the literary material.
Therefore, it is still important to read literature
now-a-days than goggling information on the internet but they are both in the
act of reading and they have common denominator of benefits and advantages it’s
just that there are many disadvantages in googling on the internet so
preferably it is much better if we read book or literature rather. Reading literature
is more challenging than searching because you will read the entire story or passage
before you get the thought. Through this we are enhancing our comprehension and
we are building our vocabulary skills.

I am Poem (Activity in Intro to Philo, K-12)
I am Poem
I am glad but inside I am weak
I wonder when I'll get a man's love, I seek
I hear the laughter of myself with pace
I see myself smiling on my own's face
I want to show myself so I will speak
I am glad but inside I am weak
I pretend sometimes that I'm still happy
I feel his words that telling me "You're so unworthy"
I touch my heart which already brazing
I worry to his love for me which is already freezing
I cry because my heart is heavy and symphatique
I am glad but inside I am weak
I understand that I have God who gives me bliss
I say "I should be strong" because I'm so blessed
I dream that someday he will understand me
I try to forgive him despite he emotionally hurting me
I hope for good relationship with my Papa, I leak
I am glad but inside I am weak

Introduction
Housekeeping
refers to the management of duties and chores involved in the running of a
household, such as cleaning, cooking, home maintenance, shopping, laundry and a
bill pay. These may be performed by any of the household members or by other
persons hired to perform these tasks. In a hotel, housekeeping is a very
physically demanding job that includes many varied actions. Typically, in this
study, housekeepers were responsible for cleaning rooms per shift. The actual
amount of work depends on the size of the room and the number of beds. Hotel
housekeepers work in a unique place. Hotels are usually designed for the
comfort of their guests rather than their housekeeping staff.
(en.m.wikipedia.org)
Hotel
is an establishment providing accommodations, meals, and other services for
travelers and tourists. In general, to be called hotel, an establishment must
have a minimum of six letting bedrooms, at least three of which must have
attached (suite) private bathroom facilities. Choosing a hotel in any city is
not really hard and it doesn’t have to take a lot of time to search. Perhaps
this is something become refined at overtime, but it’s a pretty cut and dry
strategy to minimize efficiency (Reynolds, 2016).
Hotels can affect the
need of people by accommodating them in any place of being tourist. As
the hotel service was delivered well the guests will surely be motivated and
attracted until to decide of staying in or come back to the hotel. The
capabilities of hotels are depend to the category of it, much higher the
category, more services and luxurious amenities and high standard facilities
may experience.

people lack information or knowledge about the significance of a hotel. This
concept paper focused on how to disseminate information about the significance
of a hotel to the people.

Review
of Related Proposal
Hotels
and accommodation facilities being made available at different tourist’s spots
have shifted focus on providing maximum comfort to tourists at reasonable
rates. It is also vital to provide comfortable accommodation to people from
diverse economic backgrounds. While five star hotels can cater to the needs of
affluent visitors, small and medium range hotels and lodging houses are
available for use by a middle class traveler. Blog reviews are also vital that
information about all the hotels and accommodation facilities available in a
particular tourism spot is available to people quite easily. For this there can
be no better option than internet, as most tourist gain information about the
hotels and accommodation facilities through this medium only. The other ways
are by making booklets containing information about the hotels and
accommodation facilities available at train and bus stations. Students should
know about Hotels so that they will be familiar for their knowledge and in work
place (Ahliya, 2010).
According
to Mahesh Ramana (2016), students should know about hotel because it is a place
to relax and a feel relieve. Most of the costumers were start searching by an
affordable price but with a high quality of facilities and security. It can be
an additional knowledge for everyone, a help after completing a degree in
tourism and hospitality management to build a career. This involves hotels,
motels and resorts. It is important to know about hotels to make the costumers
feel at home, move worry-free, can study effectively, can rely on high safety
standard, customers can feel perfectly integrated, enjoy the benefit of
valuable extras, know to save budget, and students will have fun.
Research
Questions
This
proposal is intended to answer the following questions:
1. What
is hotel?
2. How
hotels can affect the need of people?
3. Why
students should know about hotel?
4. What
is the significance of a hotel?
5. How
long will it take to disseminate information about hotel?

significance of a hotel by conducting an orientation to be presented by the
group which is the hotel personnel and the researchers. Hotel personnel are
included to the group, to present the amenities and facilities of a certain
hotel. The group will give flyers or brochures to make participants be more
encouraged. The orientation will be held house-to-house or in a school, during
the vacant time or less hassle days of the participants. The participants may
be a student or a member of a family.

participants will be encouraged going in a hotel to experience what they have
learned in orientation. The orientation will be the instrument to motivate
participants to check in a hotel without hesitations because they have
background knowledge on how to choose in hotel with great and pleasant
services. This proposal will inspire participants to take a hotel management
course, and this course can help them to develop there entrepreneurship and
management skill which is necessary to work in hotel establishments. The
orientation will also give confidence and ability to develop marketing
strategies based on practical business plan. The orientation helps the participants
to be familiar about hotels. Through the house-to-house coordination, the
participants will be encouraged to go in a hotel with knowledge and the hotel
will get higher profit as well.
