A Literary Criticism on Joel Toledo's "Same Old Figurative"

By: Flaire Sherylle Calatagan

The world is experiencing kinds of problems that can make people become stronger. It determines the people to survive life no matter what. The poem Same Old Figurative written by Joel M Toledo tells how people fought their trials in life and become stronger. It is difficult to understand due to the unfamiliar words used by the author. It tells that the calamities, trials and other problems face by the people is as the same as old times face.

In the poem, Joel Toledo tells about how people deal with the problems of the world. The way how they deal their challenges matters most. It is also written how resilient people in his country were. No matter how hard the problems will come into their lives they can still manage to rise up again.

The poem represents how resilient Filipinos are. It shows how Filipinos bravely face their problems. It shows how strong they are. They have positive minds. It is a cycle of how hard the situations are and how people bravely face it.

The poem is wrote to remind people to rise no matter what happen. Trials and challenges makes people become stronger. These what makes the same old figurative. There's always sunshine after the rain. There's always a beauty after the disaster happened. Rise up and do something more.
