LAARNI – A DREAM Story by: Loreto Paras-sulit Play by: Alberto S. Florentino Characters: Narrator; Laarni; Maharlika (a freeman);Datu Maginoo (Laarni’s Father);Li Ho Weng (a Chinese Mandarin) NARRATOR: When our country was divided into barangays and ruled by datus, no one was more fierce and more powerful than Datu Maginoo. He had an only daughter, Princess Laarni, who was known for her beauty.

Men had asked for her hand in marriage, offering love, youth, land, and titles, but to no avail. SCENE 1: A RIVER BANK. NARRATOR: One warm day Princess Laarni orders her slaves to keep watch while she bathes in the river. Suddenly, a banca comes into view carrying a young man. LAARNI (covering her face with a fan): Who are you? How dare you – Where are my slaves?

M AHARLIKA (Standing on the boat): Princess Laarni, I am a maharlika – a freeman. I was named Maharlika.

But don’t worry, dear Princess, I mean you no harm. LAARNI: Oh, you know who I am? You, a nobody, dare to transgress our laws and customs? M AHARLIKA: I am a freeman, a noble in my own way. I have a heart so I dare love – even a princess.

I have a tongue so I dare to speak out my love. NARRATOR: Laarni is now called to the palace by her fatherbecause Li Ho Weng, a Chinese suitor, has come with his fleet of junks to ask for her hand for the fourth time. Laarni tells Maharlika of this. He then vows to come twice and take her for his bride. SCENE 2: DATU’S PALACE.

NARRATOR: Maharlika comes to the palace. M AHARLIKA (bowing): My name is Maharlika. Our datu, Rajah Bayani, and I bring you greetings and best wishes. M AGINOO: What business brings you here?

M AHARLIKA: My datu, Rajah Bayani, sends me to ask for the hand of your daughter, Princess Laarni, in marriage for him. LAARNI: You ask for my hand in marriage for your datu? Yet you said a moment ago – M AHARLIKA: - that I want the princess myself. Both are true.

But duty tells me that I must make known my true mission here even at my own expense. M AGINOO (irked): It is obvious that you have met before. M AHARLIKA: I had the rare honor of meeting your beautiful daughter earlier.

M AGINOO: What? You man, don’t you know that by so doing you have offended my daughter, my family and my people?

M AHARLIKA (bowing): If I have, then I ask for forgiveness. M AGINOO: My dear daughter, you never told me of this infraction. I could have dealt with him. I forgot, Father. As he did me no real harm, may he not go unpunished this time? M AGINOO: You’ve grown soft of heart, my dear – well, your wishes shall be heeded. NARRATOR: A slave hands a scroll to Datu Maginoo.

M AGINOO (reading the scroll): It’s an invitation for Princess Laarni to have tea with Li Ho Weng in his boat. LAARNI: But, I do not wish to visit him. Why can’t he come down from his ship? But on second thought, why not? I have never entered his boat. Father, I shall go.

SCENE 3: LI HO WENG’S BOAT. NARRATOR: Laarni is enjoying Li Ho Weng’s display of goods. LAARNI (sees a robe with a pagoda embroidered on it): Oh, how smooth and soft!

LI HO WENG: Would you like to dwell in such a pagoda? LAARNI (shakes her head and turns): It is late. LI HO WENG: No, don’t go. It’s still early. There are more things below deck that you should not miss. (stands in her way) I can’t let you go yet. LAARNI: I have seen enough.

Please let me pass. LI HO WENG (in a stern voice):I have been waiting for you since my fleet dropped anchor. Now that you are here, shall I be a fool to let you go? LAARNI: AT the flick of a hand, my father can send a thousand warriors against you. LI HO WENG: I have come well prepared.

These ships aren’t loaded with goods but with weapons and warriors. Narrator: There is a commotion. Two Chinese warriors come dragging a wet, struggling Maharlika. LI HO WENG (fiercely): Who is this intruder?

M AHARLIKA: I am Maharlika.“You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.” - Albert Camus “It's so hard to forget pain, but it's even harder to remember sweetness.

We learn so little from peace.” - Chuck Palahniuk “The fear of death follows from the fear of life.Name: Use your notes and your Revision Guide to answer the following questions.

Ironically, falling dreams usually occur when you are drifting off to sleep. However, they interpret a different meaning. “Falling” can mean that you feel you are losing your grip, or you are self-conscious, or simply have fears that need to be faced.

Patricia Garfield, the author of the book Creative Dreaming, states, “There’s some problem that is making you feel helpless – like you have no support.” So next time you wake up startled from a “falling dream”, ask yourself, “What upcoming events do I fear I will fail?” In my speech today, I am going to explain the fascination behind dreams. I plan to explain the reasoning as to why we dream, then talk about the interpretations of dreams and nightmares. TRANSITION: First, let’s take a look at the scientific view behind dreams. The National Sleep Foundation reported that eighty percent of teenagers get too little sleep. Teens normally require about nine to nine and a half hours of sleep, but they average to only seven hours a night.

During sleep is typically said to be a person’s best thinking hours. Believe it or not, dreams are a sign that your brain is working even when you are asleep. During Rapid Eye Movement, or REM, is when we dream most vividly. According to some researchers. Dream Act The dream act is no more than the opportunity to earn conditional residency status for deportable students. It was first introduced in the United States on August 1, 2001, but it has not been approved since.

This bill would give the opportunity to students who graduate from high school or those who earn a GED to get a higher education, but would not this affect our economy, since we are suffering a similar situation as the great depression back in 1929? Students getting a higher education might help America to solve the economy faster but why take any chances if Americans are doing a great job? Should this law be passed and let those who really want an education accomplish what those who already can get an education do not want? Or should the House of Representatives forget about this and throw student’s hopes away and invest the money in something more productive? The DREAM Act stands for Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors Act. The purpose of the Dream Act is to help students who meet certain requirements to go to a college or the military and get a temporary residence and have a path to citizenship. This will not only help students but it will benefit the whole country because people are the United States’ face, yet they only want the chance to contribute back to the country.

According to a study about 65,000 undocumented students graduate from high school most of them able to qualify. DREAMS ' Dreams are the touchstones of our characters.' - Henry David Thoreau What is a dream? A dream can include any of the images, thoughts and emotions that are experienced during sleep.

Dreams can be extraordinarily vivid or very vague; filled with joyful emotions or frightening imagery; focused and understandable or unclear and confusing. Why do we dream? What purpose do dreams serve? While many theories have been proposed, no single consensus has emerged. Considering the enormous amount of time we spend in a dreaming state, the fact that researchers do not yet understand the purpose of dreams may seem baffling.

However, it is important to consider that science is still unraveling the exact purpose and function of sleep itself. Some researchers suggest that dreams serve no real purpose, while others believe that dreaming is essential to mental, emotional and physical well-being. Ernest Hoffman, director of the Sleep Disorders Center at Newton Wellesley Hospital in Boston, Mass., suggests that '.a possible (though certainly not proven) function of a dream to be weaving new material into the memory system in a way that both reduces emotional arousal and is adaptive in helping us cope with further trauma or stressful events.' Everybody Dreams Men do it. Even babies do it. Dreams Amrit Sekhon December 7th, 2012 Sheridan College Abstract This essay will pose an analysis on why people dream. According to the three theories dreams occur to protect ones sleep.

Dreams occur naturally and it is a universal experience which everyone experiences during their sleep. The search ultimately leads to the conclusion that there is definitely a clear link between the process of random firing neurons, experiences, fears and the external and internal stimuli in the body. Dreams What are dreams? Well, dreams are the touchstones of ones character which can include any images, emotions and thoughts occurring in a person`s sleep.

In today’s living world, one spends one third of their life sleeping, as sleeping is a major component in life. At some point while one is asleep they are also dreaming. Sleeping helps gain rest and refreshment from a hard day of work.

Basically, dreaming is a method of ``relaxing and letting minds drift away into a distant world where one can interact with various people, places or things`` (Wilson, 2005). In reality everyone must sleep in order to survive through life. Constantly everyone goes through cycles of sleep and wakefulness where minds are active. Evidently when one is awake, they are using their minds for various actions. When one is asleep, it is not as evident how their mind is at work but to keep minds active. Dream By: FY All our dreams can come true if we have the courage to pursue them. I believe every child is born a dreamer, from the moment we enter this world our mind wanders off in every direction.

Laarni A Dream By Loreto Paras Sulit

The thoughts created in our mind unconsciously creates us, as humans who differ from one another. For I have dreamed on and on, gone through thousands of dreams. Yet I realized that life is not unlimited, physically as well as our mentally we are not immortal and have a certain duration of time. During this life I choose to follow my dreams, they serve as a my goals, pushing me harder everyday, each day so I may one day achieve the future I desire. Here I will share some of my arsenal of reveries.

Like most children, we grow up being praised and told how we will be the future presidents or prime minister. The point here to that success is the key. Success is different from each and every perspective. I believe that focusing on the present which would be school is most important as it builds a strong foundation for my future. Growing up in a well disciplined family, I was always successful academically, always getting As and rarely any Bs as well as receiving nine awards at last year’s award ceremony. Even will all that, it is not what satisfies me the most. What I truthfully admire is my influence towards my peers.

Growing up with them I knew that their grades were not always as good, but unknowingly.According to Merriam Webster's dictionary, a dream is a 'succession of images, thoughts, sounds, or emotions which pass through the mind during sleep.' Although different for everyone, dreaming is inevitable, and therefore has become inseparable from human nature. Consequently, this concept has been a boundless object of fascination and mystery since the beginning of time. For this paper specifically, I will focus on separating reality from false perception so that self-knowledge may be understood and achieved through the process of dreaming. In its entirety, Plato's Theaetetus is concerned with the question 'What is knowledge?' Although the dialogue never offers a definitive answer, it does deal with several interesting proposals along the way.

More specifically, in keeping on track, Theaetetus offers the proposal that perception is knowledge: 'It seems to me that one who knows something is perceiving the thing he knows, and, so far as I can see at present, knowledge is nothing but perception' (151d). According to class discussion, perception includes any sensory form of receiving data or external input, i.e. Seeing, hearing, touching, tasting, or smelling. For Theaetetus then, much like the Protagoras concept that 'Man is the measure of all things' (152a), knowledge is the result of first-hand experience; whatever an individual collects by means of perception is true for him. Although this proposal is somewhat acceptable, Socrates is quick to.
