Line 1:		Line 1:
-	It is almost time for Christmas Eve midnight mass when Basilio secretly makes his way to the forest previously owned by the Ibarra family.	+	==JoseRizal.ph Summary==
-	He does not want anyone to see him.	+	Nang tumutunog ang mga batingaw ng noche buena si Basilio ay palihim na nagtungo sa gubat. Paliit ang buwan. Kaya’t paaninaw na tinungo ni Basilio ang libing ng kanyang ina. Ipinagdasal ang kaluluwa ng ina at gunita ng nakaraang may 13 taon.
-	Recall that thirteen years had passed since he buried his mother, Sisa, in that same forest. Thirteen years ago, he was hunted as a fugitive along with his brother Crispin (now dead). In the Noli Me Tangere, Padre Salvi was after these two sacristans. In the El Fili, Padre Salvi still wields considerable power.	+	Namatayan ang kanyang ina. May dumating na lalaking sugatan. Pinahakot siya ng kahoy na ipansusunog sa bangkay ng ina at ng sugatang lalaki. May dumating pang isang lalaki. Tumulong ito sa pagtatalsakan ng kahoy at paglilibing sa kanyang ina.
-	No wonder Basilio needs to keep his past a secret.	+	Umalis siya sa gubat. Lummuwas ng Maynila. Maysakit at gulanit ang damit. Ninais nang pasagasa sa mga karuwahe dahil sa hirap at gutom. Natagpuan niya sina Kap. Tiyago na katatpos dalhin sa beateryo si Maria Clara. Kinuha siyang katulong o utusan. Ping-aral sa Letran. Unang taon: wala siyang nabibigkas kundi ang pangalan niya at ang salitang adsum o narito po. Minaliit siya dahil sa luma at gulanit na suot. Gayunman ay lagi siyang nagsasaulo ng leksiyon. At nang matuos niyang sa tatlo o apat na paraan sa kanyang klase ay may 40 lamang ang nagtatanong di na sumama ang loob niya. Nang magsulit, natugon niya ang tanong sa kanya at ang marka niya para sa unang taon ay aprovado. Ang siyam niyang kasamahan sa pagsusulit ay nangag-ulit na lahat.
-	In the forest is a stream, near which is a small hill, beyond which was a space enclosed by crumbling walls. In the center of this is a balete tree, and near it is a pile of stones--Sisa's unmarked grave.	+	Ikatlong taon. Naisipan ng professor na Dominiko ang pagtanong kay Basilio na akala niya’y tanga upang magpatawa sa klase. Natugon ni Basilio ang tanong. Parang loro siya sa pagsagot. Noo’y di na tinanong si Basilio. Bakit pa tatanugin ito’y di naman nakapag-papatawa sa klase? Nawalan ng sigla sa pag-aaral si Basilio. Nguni’t isang professor niya ang nasiyahang tumanggap ng hamon ng mga kadete sa isang pasyalan at nagyakag ng mga estudyante niya na inilaban niya sa mga kadete sable laban sa baston. Namayani si Basilio sa labanan. Nakilala ng professor. Nang magtapos: sobresaliente at may mga medalya pa.
-	Basilio painfully remembers that night thirteen years ago when Sisa did not recognize him (she was out of her mind at that time). She died in the forest and a stranger (Elias?) came and ordered Basilio to build a funeral pyre. When Basilio came back with the wood, he saw yet another stranger (Ibarra?); the first stranger had died.	+	Muhi si Kap. Tiyago sa mga prayle mula nang magmongha si Maria Clara. Pinalipat si Basilio sa Ateneo Municipal. Malaki ang natutuhan ni Basilio. Nagsulit siya sa pagkabatsilyer. Ipinagmalaki siya ng kanyang mga profesor. Nakasulit siya at kumuha ng medisina. Pagkatapos, naging matiyaga at masigasig sa pag-aaral si Basilio. Kaya di pa man nakakatapos ay nakapanggamot na siya. At huling taon na ng pag-aaral ni Basilio. Pagkatapos niya’y pakaksal na sila ni Huli.
-	This second stranger helped Basilio place the dead stranger on the pyre and also helped Basilio bury his mother, Sisa. He also gave Basilio some money.	+	[http://www.joserizal.ph/fi08.html Full Version]
-	Basilio remembers leaving the forest for Manila, where he served in Capitan Tiago's home. Instead of being paid a salary, his tuition was paid for instead. Capitan Tiago took him in because the old man was depressed -- that was the day Maria Clara entered the nunnery.	+	==Casual Summary by Some Person==
-	(It was common at that time for those wishing to study to serve as household help if they didn't have funds for tuition. Apolinario Mabini had to do this. What about you? Count yourself fortunate.)	+	(Removed copyrighted info)
-		+
-	Imagine Basilio, in his first year of Latin, wearing bakya (wooden clogs). Students avoided the poorly-attired Basilio. Even his teachers didn't ask him to participate in classroom discussions. Of course he felt terrible and alone, and often cried atop his mother's grave.	+
-		+
-	Yet somehow Basilio passed school, through sheer memory work. It's amazing how he managed to motivate himself in a class size of about 400 students, only 40 of which were called to recite. Those not called by the teacher felt relieved.	+
-		+
-	(Looks like things haven't changed in 400 years, right? Anyway, Rizal makes a dig at education here: all you needed to do was memorize stuff and you were sure to pass.)	+
-		+
-	In Basilio's third year, a Dominican teacher decided to make fun of him. Basilio, however, was able to answer sensibly and the embarrassed teacher never called on Basilio again. (Basilio understood Spanish and therefore could not be turned into a class stooge.)	+
-		+
-	One of the professors got into a fight with some cadets. Basilio, in defense of the professor, participated in the duel of canes and sabers.	+
-		+
-	He survived and went on to graduate with good grades and medals. Nope, it wasn't purely due to his fencing skills; he was also a diligent student. Capitan Tiago convinced Basilio to transfer to the Ateneo.	+
-		+
-	The different educational system amazed Basilio. (Whether Rizal, a product of Jesuit education, is just being biased here is debatable.)	+
-		+
-	Anyway, Basilio took up medicine. While Capitan Tiago first wanted him to take up law (so that Tiago can have legal services for free), he accepted Basilio's choice. Tiago was interested in getting the blood of some Chinese who died of venereal disease--perhaps medical students like Basilio could get hold of it so that Tiago can smear the metal gaffs of his fighting cocks with poisoned blood.	+
-		+
-	(Strange. Why didn't he simply use rat poison?)	+
-		+
-	In Basilio's third year at medical school, he started to cure people. This provided him with funds for savings and for elegant clothes.	+
-		+
-	Basilio healed a leper who gave him a locket in payment. Recall that that locket was given by Maria Clara when she saw the leper begging in the streets. That locket will be given by Basilio to Juliana.	+
-		+
-	(During this time, people believed that leprosy is contagious and could not be cured. Perhaps Rizal believed otherwise.)	+
-		+
-	Enough of the flashback... So Basilio is in the forest. He is in his last year of studies and will be a physician in a couple of months. He plans to retire in his hometown and to marry his sweetheart Juliana.	+
-		+
-	We see here a reversal of fortunes: the boy who used to wander the streets, dirty, unkempt and disdained by society, is now about to become a respected physician.	+
-		+
-	In fact, he had been selected to deliver the valedictory address -- a message, not about himself, but about the needy students of the future.	+
-		+
-	What a way to make his first mark in the world, right?	+
-		+
-	Please note that online novel and chapter summaries, study guides and notes, Cliff notes, biography or study packs, criticisms and critical analysis, or even essays on character and plot analysis are just supplementary materials. Please read the entire novel to gain a full flavor of Rizal's writings, and to also help develop yourself as a student and writer. Also, don't just read these free book summaries. The physical act of note taking will help you retain the things you've learned.	+
