1885- University of (1886) Rizal wrote “To the Flowers of Heidelberg”, where he asks for the flowers of Heidelberg to go to be sent and
1886 Paris, sprout in the Philippines as a symbol of his love for his country so that his family and people may know.
University of
Heidelberg (1886) Rizal wrote a letter to his sister on German women on March 11, 1886 whilst exhibiting his disdain for
Spanish women. He compared the two and claimed that German women as serious, studious, and diligent while
Spanish women were more materialistic. The letter was also probably written as advice for his little sister. (Ocampo,
2012)

(1886) Rizal also wrote multiple letters to his friend Blumentritt. On August 16 1886, Rizal wrote a letter of thanks
after receiving two books and in the letter also claimed that spanish friars were ignorant and that foreign literature
was worth more than all the combined pieces written by Spanish friars.

1886- Revolutionary, (1887, 1891) Noli me Tangere and El Filibusterismo both depicted how Rizal despised the maltreatment of the
1896 vagrant life Spanish against his fellow countrymen. However, Noli showed Crisostomo Ibarra, with Jose Rizal’s ideals for being a
peaceful reformist. On the other hand, El Fili shows Elias, Jose Rizal’s ideals of being a revolutionary.

(1889) In La Vision de Fr. Rodrigues, Rizal saw Fray Rodriguez' reactions to his novel, Noli. He wrote this defense
under the pseudonym "Dimas Alang", published in Barcelona. He made an exaggerated story about two Catholic
saints, where Saint Augustine condemns Saint Rodriguez to Earth to live a humiliating life writing stupidity as
penance.

(1889) In Filipinas dentro de cien anos, Rizal analyzed about his country’s past in his trip to the British Museum -
here, he took notes on various sources on Philippine history, even Antonio de Morga's study of the Philippines,
"Sucesos de las Islas Filipinas".

(1890) In Cómo se gobiernan las Filipinas, Rizal tells the Filipinos that success is only obtained through hard work -
“Filipinos don’t realize that victory is the child of struggle, that joy blossoms from suffering, and redemption is a product of sacrifice.”
