    If Realism did not exist, do you think Dr. Rizal our national hero will come up with the idea of using his power to write as
    a way of expressing and describing the slavery of Spanish way back in history? Maybe yes, maybe no, we never know but
    whatever it was we were very grateful of Dr. Rizal’s bravery. Hence, we still need to appreciate the persons who got the
    original concept of using literature to send faces of slavery around the world (Stowe and Douglass). Everything has a
    reason; all things happen because there’s a reason. Life is like a web, everything is connected and everything has a
    relationship. Just like what Rizal did so we can have our freedom today.
