    “A Filipino Contemporary Author”

    Literature is defined as a body of written works. The name has traditionally has
    been applied to those imaginative works of poetry and prose distinguished by the
    intentions of their authors and the perceived aesthetics excellence of their execution.
    Literature may be classified according to a variety of systems, including language,
    national origin, historical period, genre and subject matter. On the other hand
    Philippine literature are literature that is contributed or associated with the Philippines
    pre- history, through its colonial legacies , and on the present by the help of various
    authors from generation to generation that gives a widespread contribution and
    knowledge about Philippine Literature. Among from these various writers/ authors,
    Manuel Arguilla caught my attention and gives deeper knowledge about how
    literature is important and how helpful to life his writings for every person especially
    me. Manuel Estrabilla Arguilla was an Ilocano writer who wrote in English and Best
    known for his story “ How My Brother Leon Brought Home A Wife” , which
    received first place in commonwealth Literary Contest in 1940. Most of his Stories
    Depicts scenes in Barrio Nabrebcan, Bauang, La Union the place where he was born.
    I appreciate how he relates his literary works to his personal environment which gives
    more realistic impressions to the readers. As a reader of his literary work/ piece, I am
    also inspired and touched about how he wrote, shows and narrate about how love
    grows despite of the status of two persons in life, their differences when it talks about
    their cultures and traditions and most of all to their characteristics and personalities.
    Most of the works of Manuel Arguilla that impresses me though it is a short story but
    has a deeper meaning or story to be shared to all people. He describes the
    personalities of Filipinoes people before and how they act and interact with other
    people.. It also talks about filpino traits like how are we going to eat, how we greet
    other people especially strangers, our casualness towards other people, and also our
    quick acceptance of others that can be seen by his stories. The overall story is simple
    and uncomplicated yet bringing us modernized Filipino to look back on our past and
    appreciate our simplicity and gracious lives.I was very inspired not just from his
    literary works and contributions to Philippine Literature but also to his model
    personality and perseverance as a teacher who fought for our rights and freedom.
    Manuel Arguilla was a teacher of Creative writing in the University of Manila and
    work for in Bureau of Public Welfare as a managing editor of the Welfare advocate
    until 1943, and a person who shows nationalism who secretly established the guirella
    intelligence unit to fight against the japanese colonizers during world war II but
    unfortunately, in August 1994 , Manuel Arguilla was captured and executed at Fort
    William Mckinley ( known as Fort Bonifacio). This author awakened me as a person
    to write and to be innovative writer. He shows me how to give importance and love
    my county. He shows a deeper meaning of love not just for myself but for the others
    and especially for my nation. Contemporary authors and literatures guides us to write
    about ourselves, our feeling, ideas and opinions about the different aspects of our
    lives.. It gives us the lessons to step forward and to see a greater change to our future
    generations by reminiscing from the past.
