Interviewer The person(s) performing the interview Kaylee Hartigan-Go Interviewee The person(s) being interviewed Catherine Hartigan-Go Location The location of the interview Manila, Philippines Transcription Any written text transcribed from a sound Kaylee: Okay, so it's good that you mentioned Sisa, and these little details and scenes and characters from the book. Was there any other particular scene or character that struck you specifically when you were reading it? Or, if you don't have — if you don’t recall a specific part, do you remember what impression you had of the overall novel, at the time you were studying it? Catherine: [0:23] Well, you know, we'd studied about José Rizal, we knew that he's our national hero because he wrote these books that incited the revolution that changed the history of the Philippines. So, when we read Noli, you kind of understand why people would be — would start thinking that maybe it's a good idea to revolt against the Spaniards because of all the corruption and all the suffering that they inflicted on the people at that time. I guess the main thing was, after I read it, I understood why. I understood why people were moved to action. And why, after these books were written, we had bands of rebels who really built a revolution against the Spaniards. So, maybe it's because we learned about José Rizal all throughout grade school, before you even get to read it in high school. So — I mean, I was never curious enough about the book to read it before it became required reading. But it's after when you're reading it, there's all that background in the back of your head that this incited a revolution. You know, at the end of it, you’re like ‘Ah, now I understand why — I understand why he’s revered as the national hero.’ You understand why he was executed by the Spaniards. You understand his life, basically. That's what I think happened after I finished reading the book.
