What is the theme on the novel entitled ermita by sionil jose?

This novel is about the life and struggles of a Filipino woman, despite of being reminiscent of a place of the same name in the City of Manila. The plot revolves around the story of an illegitimate daughter whose roots are from a rich upper class family. The narrative delivers and portrays the themes of immorality, the presence of hope, wealth, revenge, duty and the influence of the United States to the society and culture of the Philippians. Ermita Rojo, the female protagonist and primary character, was named after a place at the heart of Manila. As a forsaken illegitimate daughter, revenge was the goal of Ermi - Ermita Rojo's nickname - against her biological family, particularly against her mother, uncle and aunt. She utilized her influence and power as a woman to manipulate men. The novel is a glimpse at Filipino life and living in the Philippine Republic, where the reader will be able to recognize the character and face of a society weary and devastated by the effects of the Second World War. Ermi was a representative character who became a victim of inevitable history, experience, and asperity imposed on her by others.

When will Midnight Sun be released?

Midnight sun will be written after a hard decision by Stephenie Meyer after a leak of the books partial draft being released online. She was eventually convinced by her fans to carry on writing Midnight Sun, although she has yet to reveal the publishing date.

Stephenie Meyer has stated that she does intend to continue writing it after people have lost interest in it. She however has not given an exact date and as yet she seems to have no interest in continuing it at the moment.

June 2008 Update: In response to the outrageous number of emails that I have received with questions concerningMidnight Sun: I talked to Stephenie this weekend and she asked me to let everyone know that Midnight Sun is her next project. She has not yet finished writing it (and there is no timeline set up, so we all need to put a lot of effort into being patient for a while longer), but she is definitely still planning on having it published. And, after Breaking Dawn comes out, Stephenie will have much more time to focus on writing Midnight Sun.
