<span lang="EN-US">TheOccurrence of Death in Plays (<i>Zoo Story, M.Butterfly, Purgatory, and Dutchman</i>)<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US"> In this essay, I want to discuss
some plays that have some similarities and differences about the occurrence of
death. The first play is <i>Zoo Story</i>.
In that play, there are two characters, Peter and Jerry. In the beginning of
play, Peter did not interest at all to jerry’s conversation. Jerry always
brings the idea of Zoo Story, what happened there, and he told the story of
him, and the dog. The conflict occurred when jerry and Peter to fight over the
bench. Then “<i>With a rush he charges Peter
and impales himself on the knife</i>” (<i>Zoo
Story</i>:13). The “death” happened because jerry’s character. Jerry makes the
conflict and in the end, he killed himself through Peter. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US">In <i>Dutchman</i> by Amiri Baraka,
the characters are Lula and Clay. Lula, thirty-year-old white woman met Clay,
twenty-year-old Negro in the train. The similarity of Lula’s and jerry’s character is they started a chat
in that play, and keep asking to other, and make the conflict happened. Lula
started making conversation, then seduced Clay, and invited him for having sex
after party. The conflict is when Lula mocked Clay. “<i>She switches strategies and mocks Clay's Anglo-American speech, his
college education and his three-button suit. She rides his being black and
passive. She dances mockingly in an R&B style and tells Clay to join her
and "do the nasty. Rub bellies</i>" (Dutchman: scene II). Besides
both character Jerry and Lula has similarity, but they also has a difference.
In <i>Zoo Story</i>, Jerry kills himself
through Peter, but in <i>Dutchman, </i>Lula
kills Clay. “killed himself” also occurred in <i>M.Butterfly. </i><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US">In <i>M.Butterfly,</i>Gallimard
interested to Song. Those characters created the story become ironic. Song
camouflage himself being oriental woman who attracted Gallimard. In the end of
play, Gallimard performed <i>Seppuku</i> by
wear Kimono. He said; “<i>Women willing to
sacrifice themselves for the love of man. Even a man whose love is completely
without worth,… Death with honor is better than life</i>”(M.Buttterfly : ACT 3
Scene 3). In Zoo Story, Jerry kills himself in the zoo to create how the Zoo
Story happened, but, in M.Butterfly, gallimard kills himself after he found out
about Song who actually was a man and in the end, he declared himself being
butterfly, whereas at first, Galiimmard mentioned that butterfly is Song. The
Performance before ”death” is also showed in Purgatory. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US">Purgatory by Yeats is the play that told about Old man and the boy. The
meaning of Purgatory is the anniversary of the old man’s wedding night/the
night wherein he was begotten or A silhouette of a lonely young girl/the old
man’s mother. In this play, the old man kills his father and his son for the
soul of his mother. <i>“Release my mother’s
soul from its dream! Mankind can do no more. Appease The misery of living and
remorse of the dead”</i> (Purgatory:7). The old man still kills his son, and he
said that twice murderer and all for nothing. The old man did that, because he
won’t his son repeat what he done, so that the old man kills his son. In
M.butterfly, Gallimard performed <i>Seppuku </i>for
his dishonor life. The “death” in Purgatory has similarity with Dutchman. In
these plays, the main character kills others. Lula kills Clay and the old man
kills the boy. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US">Those four plays have similarity and differences build by characters,
conflict and theme. The characters in Zoo Story and Dutchman build the
relationship between characters and the conflict but the occurrence of death
(conflict) is different. Dutchman has same conflict with purgatory. It is “Kill
other character”. In M.Butterfly and Zoo Story also has same conflict, it is
“kill himself”, and then the performance before “death” occurred in Purgatory
and M.Butterfly with different goal (Purgatory : for other, and M.butterfly :
for himself). The tool that used for
“death” in four plays is same. It is a knife. In King Lear, the death of
Cordelia by hung up, and in the Real Inspector Hound, the tool is a gun. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US">The occurrence of death is associated with body, because the death will
happen if a thing (knife, gun, string) insisted to touch the body or there is
something missing or gone of the body (soul). The occurrence of the death in
those plays is important to create the conflict there. For example is the Zoo
Story. In the beginning of the Zoo Story, the characters just having a chat,
the story is simple but in the end, the death occurred when the characters have
fought each other just for “the bench”. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

Dutchman and M. Butterfly<o:p></o:p></span><br />

characters. Dutchman is Lula and Clay. The contrast between two characters that
Lula is “a tall, slender, beautiful woman with long red hair…wearing only loud
lipstick in somebody’s good taste” (p. 1896). Clay is described as a young,
middle-class, educated black man. He wears three-button suit, reading books,
pretty much suggesting that he talks, acts and dresses like a white man (p. 1901).
In this play, both Lula and clay indicate there is a gender stereotype.
According Eagly and Steffen in their journal ; “<i>A <span style="background: white;">g</span></i></span><i><span style="background: white; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">ender stereotypes stem from the distribution of women and men into
social roles</span></i><i><span lang="EN-US" style="background: white; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">, “A
gender stereotype consists belief about the psychological and characteristic
of, as well as the activities appropriate to, men or women. Gender stereotype
are beliefs and attitudes about masculinity and feminity.”</span></i><span lang="EN-US" style="background: white; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">
Lula’s role in the play shows female control. She controls conversation with
Clay, and the whole play. Besides, Clay is passive and looks intimidated. From beginning,
when Lula asks about he was staring at her through window, Clay shows his
nervous in front of woman. Even Lula has to say twice that he was staring at
her. Lula’s role shows masculinity even though she is a woman. In Dutchman,
gender stereotype influenced by a race between black and white. The characters
change their attitude in the climax when Lula started to mock black people. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="background: white; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">In M. Butterfly, gender stereotype is
about oriental woman which presented by Song Liling that makes Galimmard to be
fooled by Song over twenty years. Gallimmard and Song have a sexual affair.
Song takes advantage from Galimmard, because he considers Song as woman. He
also believes that oriental woman as submissive and shy; “in real life, women
who put their total worth at less than sixty-six cents are quite hard to find”
(13) he thinks that oriental woman more modest than western woman. In this
play, the stereotypes of race showed by the idea of East and West. Galimmard as
Western man demonstrated the real masculinity, he said </span><span style="background: white; color: #333333; font-family: "Georgia","serif"; font-size: 10.5pt; line-height: 150%;">“Orientals will always submit to a greater

Song as oriental woman indicates “Femininity”. The truth about Song is a man
changes the stereotype between them. Gallimard the symbol of “masculine” being
feminine because in the end, he still chooses his fantasy that Song is his
butterfly. Song, the symbol of “feminine” becomes Oriental man that shows his
masculinity in exposing his true identity. </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

written by African-American playwright Amiri Baraka. The play published in late
19 century. The play focuses on the two characters, Lula and Clay. Lula is
thirty-year-old white woman rides the train, and sat close to Clay,
twenty-year-old Negro. In the beginning, the plot built by Lula. Lula accuses
him that he was staring at her through window. Then she guesses what his past
and his friend, Warren that makes Clay shocked of her knowledge. They engage in
a long and flirtatious conversation throughout the train ride. Lula keeps
asking to Clay. She even asked him to invite him to the party and after that
alluded to having sex with Clay at her "apartment". The conflict
begins when she failed to manipulated him. She mocks him about Clay's
Anglo-American speech, his college education and his three-button suit. She
rides his being black and passive. She dances mockingly in an R&B style and
tells Clay to join her and "do the nasty. Rub bellies". (p.847) Then,
in the end of play, Lula kills Clay. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

also existed in “<i>Shooting an Elephant</i>”
by George Orwell. The difference of those is in Orwell’s, the main character
confused in himself about being colonizer. He is</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"> as a police officer
in Burma. The Burmese hate him, because he is white people (European), but he
would become a hero by shot an elephant. <i>“All
I knew was that I was stuck between my hatred of the empire I served and my
rage against the evil-spirited little beasts who tried to make my job
impossible.”</i> (Orwell, 1936). He was struggle with himself when he was in
condition to shoot the elephant. In the end, he shows his mind of being
colonizer when shooting an elephant. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

confusion identity of main character, Clay appeared after Lula mocked him about
black people. In the beginning of play, Lula said about Clay’s appearance <i>“</i></span><i><span style="background: white; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">You look like you</span></i><i><span lang="EN-US" style="background: white; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">’ve</span></i><i><span style="background: white; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"> been trying to grow

Jersey with your parents and are trying to grow a beard. That’s what. You look
like you’ve been reading Chinese poetry and drinking lukewarm sugarless tea. (Laughs, uncrossing and recrossing her legs)

In this play, Lula brings
the conversation alive. She keeps offering apple to Clay. Many critics argue
that “Apple” related to an allusion to Biblical Eve. Lula seduced him with
apple. <i>“Eating apples together is always
the first step. Or waking up uninhibited Seventh Avenue in the twenties on
weekends</i>” (p. 150). The apple becomes symbolic which is related to Clay’s
identity in this play. First, when Lula always offers the apple, Clay answered
with <i>“Hey, what was in those apples?</i> <i>Mirror, mirror on the wall, who’s fairest
one of all? Snow White, baby, and don’t you forget it.”(P.855)</i>. Snow White
is the story about the girl poisoned with apple by a witch. That story is
similar with Lula’s. She is a white woman who brings the apple which means Lula
could be a witch to poison him. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

In North America, an American Indian (Native American) is called an
"apple" (a slur that stands for someone who is "red on the
outside, white on the inside.") primarily by other American Indians to
indicate someone who has lost touch with their cultural identity. First used in
the 1980s. The significance of the term “apple” is that <i>Dutchman</i> play also published in 1980. Clay’s appearance shows loss
of cultural identity. Cultural identity is about location, gender, race,
history, nationality, language, sexuality, religious beliefs, ethnicity,
aesthetics, and even food. When he in long monologue to respond Lula’s lack of
knowledge about Black people, he forget that he dresses, talks, and acts like
white people. When their conversations begin, Lula asks him if he was staring
at her through window, Clay answers that he did not. He just looks window and
he does not know he was staring. In that conversation, Clay looks nervous in
front of white woman. Eldridge Cleaver described the soul-lacerating effects of
that history four years later, in his memoir, “Soul on Ice”: <i>“The white man forbade me to have the white
woman on pain of death. . . . Men die for freedom but black men die for white
women, who are the symbol of freedom. . . . Until the day I can have a white
woman in my bed . . . I will still be a slave</i></span></span><b><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: IN; mso-font-kerning: 18.0pt;">.” </span></b><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: IN; mso-font-kerning: 18.0pt;">Although Clay dresses like white people but he could

of Clay shows that the culture has been distorted (Multiculturalism). Multiculturalism
is the cultural diversity of communities within a given society and the
policies that promote this diversity. As a descriptive term, multiculturalism
is the simple fact of cultural diversity and the demographic make-up of a
specific place, sometimes at the organizational level, e.g., schools,
businesses, neighborhoods, cities, or nations. (Encyclopedia 1). In this play, a
black man who strives to defend his culture actually tries to follow another
culture. I think the speaker wants to show that multiculturalism could not
accept easily. This play also related to ‘Black National Movement”. Black
Nationalism advocates a racial definition (or redefinition) of national
identity, as opposed to multiculturalism. (Encyclopedia 2). Amiri Baraka is
also joins that community. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

the confusion identity of Clay described how a black man in disguise being a
white man. He leaves his own culture and follows other culture. In the end, it
brings him in the death. The idea of disguise occurred in some plays (M.
Butterfly, King Lear), but the disguise in Dutchman play is clearly seen from
Clay’s body (he cannot cover his skin even though he talks, dresses, and acts
like white man). <b><o:p></o:p></b></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Scholes stated in his essay “English Apparatus” that the field of
English is organized by two primary gestures of differentiation, dividing and
re-dividing the field by binary opposition. He divides literature and
non-literature, production and consumption, and real world and academy. Talking
about literature, in his essay, I see that in literature has effect in the
aspect of characterization or setting in some texts for example novel. Besides,
all texts have secret –hidden deeper meanings. Mitchell said that the most
common and naïve intuition about literature is that is “Representation of life”
and representation has always played a central role in the understanding of
literature. In the Resistance of Theory, Paul de Man differentiated literature
and Ideology. He said that;<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">“Literature is fiction not because it somehow refuses
to acknowledge “reality”, but because it is not a priori certain that language
functions according to principles which are those or which are like those, of
the phenomenal world. It is therefore not a priori certain that literature is
reliable source of information about anything but its own language.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">While ideology is precisely the confusion of linguistic with natural
reality of reference with phenomenalism. Althusser, in his influential essay, “Ideology
and ideological state apparatuses,” he included literature among ideological
apparatuses which contribute to the process of <i>reproduction the relations of production.</i> Scholes had said that when
we read the texts is not simply as consumption but as a productive activity and
the making of meaning. So that I argue that in the literature which consists deeper
meaning, there is ideology of the writer in it. Frye also said the first thing
that literary critics has to do is to read literature, to make an inductive
survey of his own field an let his practical
principles shape themselves solely out of his knowledge of that field.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">For example, in <i>Five Children and
It </i>in chapter 2, Nesbit’s writing influenced by her ideology. She showed that
money is everything, and middle-class people are difficult to have any gold in
that condition in that novel. Her ideology is Fabian. She published that novel
while she joined with Fabian Society.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

beginning of big problems contributing to the inevitable decline of the British
economy." <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">“Ideology is not simply a set of illusions, as <i>the German Ideology</i> seems to argue, but
a system of representations (discourses, images, myths) concerning the real
relations in which people live. But what is represented in Ideology is “not the
system of the real relations which govern the existence of individuals, but the
imaginary relation of which they live.” (Althusser 1971, p.155).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">From that quote, “ideology is imaginary relation of which they live”
seems that what Nesbit established in <i>Five
Children and It,</i> to be represented Nesbit’s Ideology. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">As
Mitchell said, that representation is always of something or someone, by
something or someone, to someone</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">.

<span lang="EN-US">that ideology is both a real and an imaginary relation to the
world. Real in that it is the way in which people really live their
relationship to the social relations which govern their condition of existence,
but imaginary in that it discourages a full understanding of these conditions

<span lang="EN-US">Hasrat dan Nilai dalam Novel Trilogy
Psammead Karya Edith Nesbit<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
In my <span lang="EN-US">skripsi</span>, I will discuss the trilogy
novel <span lang="EN-US">“Psammead” </span>by
Edith Nesbit. <span lang="EN-US">Those novels are
<i>Five Children and It (1902), the Carpet
and Phoenix (1904), </i>and <i>the Story of
Amulet (1906).</i> Those novels have different setting of place, and presence
of parents. I want to demonstrate how influence from different place and
presence of parent to characters of children in those novels. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">On the country has gathered the idea of a natural way of life: of peace,
innocence, and simple virtue. On the city has gathered the idea of an achieved
center: of learning, communication, light. Powerful hostile associations have
also developed: on the city as a place of noise, worldliness, and ambition; on
the country as a place of backwardness, ignorance, limitation. (William, <i>the country and the city</i>)</span><span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US">Actually, in</span><span lang="EN-US"> </span><i>Five Children and It</i><span lang="EN-US">,
</span>in <span lang="EN-US">some chapters I
found some problems there. In </span>chapter 1 “Beautiful as the Day”, the
children wanted to be “beautiful” and they asked to their Fairy “Psammead” to
grant their wish.<span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
"I wish we were all as
beautiful as the day” (Nesbit, 12)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
Psammead granted “beautiful” to be
“Grow up” and in the end when they came back to their home, Martha, who was
their servant did not know them and drove away them. In “The Mirror Stage as
Formative of the Function of the I as Revealed in Psychoanalytic Experience” by
Jacques Lacan, he said that “The child at an age when he is for a time, however
short, outdone by the chimpanzee in instrumental intelligence, can nevertheless
already recognize as such his own image in a mirror”. Although they still “child” but they can see
themselves in the mirror or they looked each other to recognize themselves.
Lacan, in his essay, also stated the child could recognize themselves in the
child’s own body, and the persons and things around him. For example, the child
from the age at 5 months, when at the age he should crawl on hands and knees,
but he wanted to stand up. It showed that he (the child) saw he person around
him who can stand even run, and he wanted to follow that person. It same with
the children in the novel “Five Children and It”, they wanted to be beautiful
when they saw people around them, and one of them is Martha (the servant). It seems
they wanted to do by their own selves, then they did not know what to do so
that they came back to their home, but Martha did not notice and drove away
them.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
There are some points in this first
chapter of “Five Children and It” that I want to find out. Why they want to be
beautiful as an adult? When they became adult, why Martha did not know them
even drove away them? Is it related that an adult can make a lie but the child
not?<span lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US">In chapter 2 “Golden Guineas”, they asked to “Psammead” want to be rich
and “it” gave many of gold to them. In the end, they cannot buy anything they
wanted, because it is unreasonable to them to have many of gold, even they accused
as thief. They always fail and fail to reach what they wanted. In the last
chapter “The Last Wishes”, when the “Psammead” asked them about the last wish
they have, they think first before they speak. In the beginning, they wanted
some gold to their mom, but they afraid their mom will be accused as a thief
like them (it’s like they learned something). <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 35.45pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"> </span><span lang="EN-US">“…and the children had been in London for two years, without so much as
once going to the seaside even for a day by an excursion train, and so the
White House seemed to them a sort of Fairy Palace set down in an Earthly
Paradise. For London is like prison for children, especially if their relations
are not rich.” (Nesbit, P2)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US">From that novel, I can see that the writer want to show different class
there at that time. It related with the writer’s ideology. Nesbit is a Fabian, she
wanted to show that “money is everything” at that time in that novel. It can be
seen in chapter 2 when they wanted to be rich, but they failed and accused as the
thief. Nesbit joined with Fabian Society in 1883. Those novels written after
she joined Fabian Society. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">Novel <i>Five Children and It</i> adalah novel yang menceritakan 5 tokoh dan
peri. Kelima anak tersebut adalah, Cyril dikenal sebagai Squirrel, Anthea dikenal
sebagai Panther, Robert dikenal sebagai Bobs, Jane dikenal sebagai Pussy, Hilary
- adik bayi mereka, yang selalu mereka panggil Lamb, dan peri yang dipanggil
sebagai Psammead. Setting tempatnya di pedesaan di daerah Kent, sebelumnya
mereka tinggal di London selama 2 tahun. Ketika di London, mereka menganggap
hidup mereka seperti di penjara, karena mereka tidak di ijinkan keluar oleh
orangtuanya. Sepertinya, ini ada kaitannya bahwa tinggal di kota lebih diperhatikan
dan banyak orang-orang di kota lebih menjalani hidup masing-masing. Juga, banyak
orang yang tinggal di kota lebih memikirkan bagaimana caranya untuk
menghasilkan uang. Sepertinya sari hal tersebut akan muncul beberapa tindak kriminal
seperti mencuri, merampok dan lainnya. Tingkat kriminalitas di kota lebih besar
dibandingan di desa, makanya banyak perumahan di kota memiliki pagar yang
tinggi. Hal tersebut bisa jadi karena mereka tidak ingin di ganggu, atau mereka
ingin menghindari tindak pencurian. Selain itu, di novelnya di ceritakan bahwa
anak-anak di kota banyak yang nakal tidak seperti di desa ketika anak-anak nya
melakukan kesalahan, bibi, paman atau saudaranya akan menjelaskan mana yang
benar dan salah.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">Mereka tinggal bersama Martha,
pengurus rumah tangga baru, karena ayahnya pergi dalam perjalanan bisnis dan
ibunya pergi mengunjungi nenek mereka yang sedang sakit. Ketika di London,
mereka benar-benar diawasi oleh kedua orangtuanya, tapi ketika tinggal di desa,
mereka dititipkan ke pengurusnya. Ini menunjukan kekhawatiran kedua orangtua
mereka lebih sedikit ketika anak-anaknya tinggal di desa. Dan juga asumsi saya kehadiran
dan ketidakhadiran orangtua mereka bisa mempengaruhi hasrat mereka ketika
meminta permintaan ke si peri.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US">Dalam bab 1, “Beautiful as the Day”,
ketika mereka bermain dipantai dan menggali pasir mereka menemukan peri yang “berbeda”
dari peri biasanya. Peri itu seperti gabungan beberapa hewan. Matanya ada
ditanduknya seperti siput, telinganya seperti kelelawar, tubuhnya gendut
seperti laba-laba ditutupi dengan bulu-bulu yang lembut dan tebal menutupi
lengan dan kakinya seperti seekor monyet. Saat mereka tahu bahwa peri itu bisa
mengabulkan permintaan, 4 tokoh anak-anak itu(karena Lamb masih kecil, dia
tidak dilibatkan dalam meminta permintaan kepada perinya) meminta menjadi “cantik”
kepada si perinya. “Cantik” yang mereka inginkan ternyata menjadi orang yang
dewasa. Karena Hilarry/Lamb tidak dilibatkan, dia satu-satunya yang tidak
mengalami perubahan. Pada awalnya, hillary sempat takut untuk dibawa sama
kakak-kakaknya, tapi salah satu dari mereka berhasil membujuk Hillary. Ketika mereka
pulang kerumah, Martha hanya membawa Hillary dan mengusir yang lainnya, karena
mereka berubah. Dalam bagian ini, tokoh Hillary dan Martha menjadi sorotan
karena Hillary sebagai anak kecil percaya kepada 4 tokoh anak-anak tersebut,
sedangkan Martha yang bisa dikatakan sudah dewasa menganggap pengakuan (mereka
yang telah berubah menjelaskan bahwa mereka adalah anak-anak tersebut) itu bohong
dan mengusir mereka. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US"> Mereka pergi dan menunggu hingga matahari
terbenam. Mereka kembali kerumah saat mereka telah kembali ke keadaan semula
menjadi anak-anak. Martha bilang bahwa ada 4 orang dewasa yang mengaku sebagai
mereka dan mencoba menipunya, namun Martha tidak mempercayai mereka, dan untungnya
4 anak-anak itu telah kembali. Sepertinya
perkataan anak kecil lebih dipercaya dibandingkan orang dewasa. Apa ada
kaitannya bahwa orang dewasa karena telah menjalani banyak hal lebih “bisa”
untuk berbohong dibandingkan anak kecil? Ini juga menjadi catatan penting, karena
setiap mereka memiliki hasrat selalu diakhiri dengan nilai-nilai yang mereka
ambil dari sana sebagai pelajaran untuk tidak sembarang meminta permintaan. Lalu,
yang digarisbawahi juga kenapa keinginan mereka menjadi cantik harus menjadi
dewasa? kemungkinannya, ketika mereka melihat diri mereka berbeda dari orang-orang
disekitar mereka yang kebanyakan adalah orang-orang dewasa membuat mereka ingin
mengikuti apa yang mereka lihat. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">In my thesis, I will discuss
the trilogy novel by Edith Nesbit. One of them is “Five Children and It.” In
that novel, in chapter 1 “Beautiful as the Day”, the children wanted to be
“beautiful” and they asked to their Fairy Tale “Psammead” to grant their wish. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
"I
wish we were all as beautiful as the day<span lang="EN-US">” (Nesbit, 12)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Psammead granted “beautiful”
to be “Grow up” and in the end when they came back to their home, Martha, who
was their servant did not know them and drove away them. In “The Mirror Stage
as Formative of the Function of the I as Revealed in Psychoanalytic Experience”
by Jacques Lacan, he said that “The child at an age when he is for a time,
however short, outdone by the chimpanzee in instrumental intelligence, can nevertheless
already recognize as such his own image in a mirror”. Although they still “child” but they can see
themselves in the mirror or they looked each other to recognize themselves. Lacan,
in his essay, also stated the child could recognize themselves in the child’s
own body, and the persons and things around him. For example, the child from
the age at 5 months, when at the age he should crawl on hands and knees, but he
wanted to stand up. It showed that he (the child) saw he person around him who
can stand even run, and he wanted to follow that person. It same with the
children in the novel “Five Children and It”, they wanted to be beautiful when
they saw people around them, and one of them is Martha (the servant). It seems
they wanted to do by their own selves, then they did not know what to do so
that they came back to their home, but Martha did not notice and drove away
them. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">There are some points in this
first chapter of “Five Children and It” that I want to find out. Why they want
to be beautiful as an adult? When they became adult, why Martha did not know
them even drove away them? Is it related that an adult can make a lie but the
child not?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The Difference about Representation</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-left: 18.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-left: 18.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I
started what about representation and presentation in 380 BCE by Plato. He stated
in one of his works “Republic” that <i>representation
is made of the nature of God and heroes. </i>He also added that <i>God is always to be represented as he truly
is, whatever be the sort of poetry, epic, lyric or tragic, in which the
representation is given. </i>Representation, Plato reasoned, are mere substitutes
for the things themselves. (Mitchell, 14) I think the meaning of representation
that Plato said is about someone represented for herself/himself/itself not
another one or something else. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-left: 18.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Aristotle
says that representations differ from one another in three ways: in object,
manner, and means. The "object" is that which is represented; the
"manner" is the way in which it is represented; the "means"
is the material that is used. (Mitchell, 13) in this matter, subject
represented object. Example; in his real life Laurence Oliver become himself,
but in the stage he was playing as hamlet. He represented Hamlet in the stage
but he still existed as himself. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-left: 18.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">In
modern times, it also become a crucial concept in political theory, many people
wants to be governed by representative, every political group or cause wants
representation, every government claims to represent. (Pitkin, 3) so that there
is shift in the meaning of representation in which someone wants to be
represented someone else. As Mitchell said, that representation is always of
something or someone, by something or someone, to someone. For example; in some
countries, including Indonesia used the “representative government”. What I knew
if someone wants to be represented someone else/group is on conditions; he/she
is native, from the same group (the labor represented some labors), she/he can
convey their aspirations. The legitimate is the agreement from people about
represented/representative, and it is written in the laws is not it?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-left: 18.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">In
the fact, in Indonesia some people who represented other people not appropriate
with their occupations, such as the economist represented the labor or the
doctors. The question is “what represent what” in that situation?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
UAS Introduction to American History</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">After I read one of the reading materials on syllabus,
the title is “What to the Slave is Fourth of July? By Frederick Douglass, and I
searched about what condition after that, many occurrences happened in America.
Douglass wrote his work in 1852 where he criticized how the Black People
treated, whereas, America at that time had declared “independence” on 4<sup>th</sup>
of July 1776. 4 years later, in America seem did not change anything. In 1860
and 1865, there had occurred a civil war. First, on November 6, 1860 - Abraham
Lincoln, who had declared "Government cannot endure permanently half
slave, half free..." also stated about free for the slave. Many wars in
America also occurred, for example Texas war, Dakota war before 1865, and after
1865 in Hawaii exactly in 1893.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">In January 1893, a revolutionary "Committee of
Safety," organized by Sanford B. Dole, staged a coup against Queen
Liliuokalani with the tacit support of the United States. At that time, in the
end Hawaii actually did not want annexation. President Grover Cleveland sent a
new U.S. minister to Hawaii to restore Queen Liliuokalani to the throne under
the 1887 constitution, but Dole refused to step aside and instead proclaimed
the independent Republic of Hawaii. Cleveland did not want to with force. After
his presidential, he changed by William. He negotiated a treaty with the
republic in Hawaii, and after that American-Spanish war occurred. In the 1959,
finally Hawaii became one of the countries of United States and as the 50<sup>th</sup>
state. I think the situation about Hawaii was same with Texas. History repeat its
self means that before what happened in Hawaii, in Texas also occurred the same
way. They were the country did not want annexation but independence. Then, the
war broke out, if in Hawaii was American-Spanish war, in Texas was
American-Mexico war. In the end, both of countries organized into a formal U.S.
territory.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">In 1865, United States began with industrial and
agricultural power. After U.S gained victory over Southern secessionists in the
Civil War, the United States became a united and powerful nation with a strong
national government. During the Civil War, many states joined United States. I think
many states in U.S means some lands that produced many profits. When U.S as
frontier, farming there growth very constantly. In the end, <span style="background: white;">b</span></span><span style="background: white; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">y the late nineteenth century, the United States had become a
leading global industrial power</span><span lang="EN-US" style="background: white; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">. In the 19<sup>th </sup>century, the
word Globalization spread over the world, but there is question, globalization
or global hegemony? I think the answer is in our selves. Globalization began
after capitalist development replaced Anti-communism or Anti-Soviet. Unconsciously
or consciously, we realize that in our minds we think about capitalist ways. 2
weeks ago, Pak Ari had said we could not change capitalist. Perhaps, what it
means that in this situation If U.S that still control anything like the world
bank, IMF, WTO, Economy even politics. The example of politics is Democrat
party in Indonesia, is that party followed the party in U.S isn’t it? Food, fashion,
education, and many things came from U.S we could not or yet changed that
system. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="background: white; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Like I had said above, that in 1865
United Stated began with Agricultural power from farming, industry like
transportation, technology, and the development in Film, writer, even the system.
So that what happened in 1865, before 1865, and after 1865 give the impact very
significant in U.S state until now. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

4<sup>th</sup> of July 1776 seem like no value for the black people. In this
essay, I will discuss about the difference presenting the concepts and issues
of discrimination blacks in the context of the concept of independence in the
American national philosophy by Martin Luther King and Frederick Douglass. I see
that between both of them showed different ways to express their feeling about
Black People. First, I will talk about the difference from way of their
speaking. The second, I will discuss about these from their ideology or social
condition.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The second, what does their social conditions can affect to their
writings or speaking? After I read their biography, I found some interesting
story between them. King was born on January 15, 1929, in Atlanta, Georgia.
King became a Baptist minister and civil-rights activist. I found in the
website<sup>1</sup> that King had some bad things in his life. Perhaps,
everybody have two sides in their life. King’s family was African-American Baptist
church. FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover had long been suspicious about potential
influence of Communists in social movements such as labor unions and civil
rights. Hoover directed the FBI to track King, and the SCLC, in 1957. In this
condition, I think is so contrast, he became a pastor, but join communist community.
If I see Douglass biography, he was different with King. Douglass was born in a
slave cabin, in February, 1818, near the town of Easton, on the Eastern Shore
of Maryland. He lived with difficult things. He prohibited taught reading by
his mistress, because he was a slave. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I think, their backgrounds make them different in their speech about
freedom for the black people. Douglass, lead his life as slave make him has an experience
about that. Many Douglass’ works were about slave. If I think about these, I remember
the different about Fanny Fern and Kartini. Fanny Fern became a feminist activist
after she had experiences about difference between man and women’s position. In
“Independence”, “Working Girls of New York” she mentioned how women were treated
at that time. So that what she was fought is about what she had. In other hand,
nn Emancipation (in Kartini’s word):<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 36pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">It was not only the voices from outside, from the
civilized, reformed Europe that I had heard that made me long for changes to
the present situation. Already in my childhood when the word ‘emancipation’ did
not yet resonate in my ears … there awoke in me a longing that gradually became
stronger and stronger: the longing for freedom and independence (Coté, 2005:
56).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Kartini did not have experiences about difference in societies like fanny
Fern. She learned many things from the Batavia. In Kartini’s words:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 36pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I am burning with excitement about this new era and
yes, I can say that, even though I will not experience it in the Indies, as
regards my thoughts and feelings, I am not part of today’s Indies, but
completely share those of my progressive white sisters in the far-off West
(Coté, 2005: 23).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Kartini’s condition was same with King’s. They did not have experiences,
but they lead “Freedom” and many people now regarded they were hero for “Free”.
<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">What I found anything else is King plagiarized the “I Have a Dream”
speech from one given at the Republican Convention in 1952 given by Archibald
J. Carey, Jr., an African-American lawyer, judge, alderman, diplomat and
clergyman from the south side of Chicago. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

sesuatu. Gak ada hubungan dengan essay saya sih :D tapi saya mau tanya, Pak ari bilang kita gak usah menentukan mana yang benar dan salah, saya keingetan
kejadian 11 september 2001. Entah siapa yang membuat kejadian seperti itu,
namun saya merasanya ada pengaruh ke kehidupaan saya, sempat maksudnya. Karena
saya terlahir dengan agama Islam, dan memilih jalan Islam, kejadian 11
September itu cukup berpengaruh menurut saya. Bagaimana tidak, setelah kejadian
itu, banyak orang di dunia tidak menyukai dengan Islam, ya dampaknya orangtua
saya yang pernah mengaji di organisasi yang membenci Amerika melarang saya
menggunakan produk apapun dari Amerika, bahkan dia berhenti merokok karena
dugaanya rokok buatan amerika (bisa jadi) lalu apakah setelah melihat kondisi
seperti itu kita masih tidak perlu menentukan mana yang benar dan salah? Apa karena,
ketika kita tahu kita tidak bisa melakukan apapun? Bagaimana dengan tulisan? Bukankah
itu bisa memberikan pengaruh cukup signifikan juga? Apakah akan terliat naïf,
ketika kita mengungkapkan sesuatu yang benar atau salah dalam sebuah tulisan?
(untuk menjauhkan fitnah sih maksudnya)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; line-height: 150%;">Kutukan
Bau Badan</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Setiap
orang apalagi cewek tentu sangat keganggu dengan yang namanya BB, eits bukan
Blackberry. Itu sih mau banget kali yah. BB ini adalah masalah Bau Badan. Uuuh,
siapa coba yang betah kalau disampingnya ada orang yang mempunyai masalah
begituan. Gue sebut Bau Badan adalah sebuah kutukan, karena secara gak sengaja
gue yang mengalaminya. Sial banget kan? Dari kecil sampe kuliah semester 4, gue
nggak pernah punya masalah yang namanya BB. Walaupun mandi gue gak sehari 3x
atau lebih, bahkan gue pernah juga nggak mandi dalam sehari, tapi badan gue gak
bau. Semenjak gue ditingkat 3, entah kenapa kelenjar keringet gue rasanya
banyak banget. iyuuuuuh<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Kutukan?
Sepertinya nama itu layaknya gue ada di gunung hejo purwakarta, terus gue gak
sengaja ngomong yang nggak-nggak lalu si penghuni marah dan gue dikutuk. Haha
nggak gitu juga sih. Kutukan ini kalo kerennya karma kali ye. Awal masuk
kuliah, gue mulai aktif yang namanya organisasi. Yang namanya organisasi gak
mungkin sendiri kan? Kecuali organisasi di sebuah perusahaan yang namanya
kuburan, mungkin aja gue sendiri ngejagain makam-makam. ~kok perasaan
ngomonginnya kearah ghaib-ghaib mulu~ ok gue skip. Di sebuah organisasi, asik
sebuah kayak apa aja ye.. gue dikelempokin, sekelompok nya 5 orang. Karena gue
adalah salah satu orang yang funny, lucu, dan tidak sombong haha #lebay tentu
kelompok gue paling asik kece abis, dan kadang membuat gue agak sedikit
sombong, jangan sampe orang lain gabung. Salah satu temen sekelempok gue yang
sama-sama di organisasi yang artinya temen gue juga ~yakali gue tau~ suka ikut
bareng kan sama gue dan yang lain. pertama sih gak ada masalah, tapi lama-lama
gue jadi keganggu juga. Sorry, badan dia bau banget. Gue biasa manggil dia
dengan sebutan baba, nama asli dia sih beby. Baba singkatan dari bau badan
#sumpahjahat tapi si beby nggak tau sih. Gue mulai cerita sama temen-temen
sekelempok gue, kalo gue gak betah dengan bau badan si beby.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">“Anyone,
please tell her.. I beg you”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">“aku
gak enak say kalo ngomong ke dia”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Akhirnya
gue mulai ngedumel ke diri gue, mulai ngejauhin dia. Soalnya gue gak tahan, gak
tahan harus deketan sama dia, jalan bareng dia. Setelah lama gue keluar dari
organisasi itu, gue mulai hang out bareng temen kampus gue. Gue ngerasa lebih
betah sama mereka. Gue lebih fokus ke belajar, gak ke organisasi. Mereka
tentunya gak punya masalah BB. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Tapi,
masalah kayaknya gak berhenti sampe situ aja. Inilah awal kutukan datang ke
gue. Salah satu temen kampus gue namanya sopia nyuruh gue nginep dikosan dia
selama 1 bulan. Dia minta gue nemenin dia, soalnya dia sering sendiri dikosan.
Entah kenapa tiba-tiba dia mendadak nyariin kosan baru buat gue. Soalnya, sebenenrnya
gue secara tidak langsung seneng saat dia ngajakin nginep dikosan dia, karena
gue udah gak betah dikosan lama gue. Finally, gue nyari kosan baru, gue pikir
sopia bantuin gue nyariin kosan baru karena dia kasihan gue gak betah dikosan
lama, trus gue mikirnya dia ngerasa keganggu juga. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Waktu
itu gue penasaran nanya ke dia, alesan dia kenapa nyruh gue nyari kosan baru<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">“lo
bau bor”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">“ah,
sumpah?” kaget gue<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">“selama
ini gue sebel, ngedumel sendiri tapi gue juga cerita ke yang lain soal badan
elo yang bau”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Oh
God, gue seolah kesambar petir, angin puting beliung, badai tsunami. Selama ini
gue ngerasa paling wangi saat gue di organisasi, dan sekarang gue dibilang bau?
Gue baru inget, kalo selama ini gue si gadis yang memperhatiin penampilannya
perlahan berubah karena ngeliat kondisi temen-temen di organisasi yang sedikit
agak jorok kalo gue harus bilang. Mereka pake baju rumah berhari-hari dipakai
aktivitas, dan dipakai tidur pula. Macam mana ini… dan selama gue nginep di
kosan sopia, kelakuan gue kayak gitu. Jelaslah si sopia ngerasa gak tahan,
sampe nyariin kosan baru buat gue.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Gue
juga inget, kalo gue suka ngedumel ke si baba eh beby maksud gue. Kayaknya ini
kali ya yang namanya kutukan si Bau badan buat gue. Gue si cewek yang diprotes
karena terlalu wangi, akhirnya diprotes karena terlalu bau. Gue ngerasa
bingung, jadi gue mesti gimana? Wangi atau bau? <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Ok,
fine. Gue lebih milih pengen wangi. Bukan buat narik perhatian cowok ya please,
tapi buat kepentingan gue sebagai cewek. Hidup gue kan gak akan mahasiswa
selamanya #amitamit dah. Ntar kan gue nikah, punya suami ~kalo gak ada suami,
kagak nikah-nikah kali~<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">“Bor,
cewek tuh penting jaga tubuhnya, bukan buat siapa-siapa tapi buat dirinya
sendiri. Islam kan ngajarin kebersihan itu sebagian dari iman, dan gue pikir lo
lebih tau hal itu” papar sopia<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Big
thanks to Sopia, sekarang gue nyadar selama mungkin 1 semester atau setahun
mungkin gue ada masalah dengan badan gue. Dan ini gak akan terulang lagi. 1 hal
lagi yang penting, gue gak akan ngedumel, ngehina, atau ngomongin orang yang
beda atau jelek dari gue. Gue takut kena lagi kutukan. Terlebih kutukan bau
badan….<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

angkuh untuk tidak ta'at terhadap Syari'at nya?<br />
wahai saudaraku sesama muslim, sungguh kita hidup didunia ini hanya sebentar...
tempat akhir kita tentulah di akhirat nanti. maka jangan pernah menyimpan dunia

yakin akan adanya hari nanti. keimanan bukan harga yang murah, justru dialah

jangan pernah melupakan aktivitas "amar ma'ruf nahyi mungkar".<br />

specific what I want to discuss, Andri have suggested The issue
"wish" I think quite interesting. Why did children given this
concept? I think that they could be arranged, subject to the following
Structure, obey the rules of those in power are called capitalists. Wish is dependent,
because in my opinion, its existence strongly influenced by what is
"trend" at the time, and talking about the trend, certainly cannot be
separated from capitalism. As explained last week by Mr. Rasus, its illustration
such as a mass-production clothing company trying to make people to think that
they need more, more, and more than they need for the benefit of the
mass-production material owners or capitalists. So, the trend that I mentioned
earlier that became how the capitalists organize people to think that they
"need" the trend, not just "want". <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Children and it, I remembered (correct if wrong) most children requests about
the material (gold, jewelry, etc.). Started the first request "beautiful
as the day" related again to the concept of hegemony, because the name
"beauty" must be relative, you can also discuss the portrayal of the
character of the children when they became beautiful. "How capitalism
defines a 'beautiful' like what, why like that, this again relates the same
culture (kinds of clothes), social class (clothes that represent the middle
class, in contrast to the gypsies who recounted how his clothes, etc.), gender
(man and women, must be like what) and so on. You could also talking about
social class how they could have a place to stay there (land owner = class
issues), a maid who shows that they are rich because they can hire someone
else, and so on.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

ever discussed in class Mrs. Harfiyah "By the great horn spoon" could
be a comparison for your discussion, because that story is not different from desire
for material, class issues, culture, etc. Other than that, I think the theory
of Raymond Williams “Base and superstructure in Marxist Cultural Theory” could
an option to help you to explain the effects of hegemonic superstructure.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Your discussion is too many and general, so I'm
worry it will be difficult for you in the discussion. For example, you mention
gender issues or capitalism which is an issue that has a layered context. Maybe
it could be more specific. For example, if you're questioning why there are
animals, because the author wants any characters an animal .. But if you look
at certain indications, such as the tendency of writing a narrative of animal
characters are always clever, and always stupid to other animals, you could
tried to link it and begin to identify what it means. and also, most
importantly, do not forget to be able to distinguish when we begin to discuss
the current text and relate it to actual society.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="background: white; font-family: Harrington; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

"dream and psychoanalysis" there is in the interpretation of dream of
Sigmund Freud. the differences in rural and urban areas, you can read the
metropolis and mental life essay by George Simmel, he distinguishes the city,

all of you will be covered in flames, will you believe my words? you have 3
minutes.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">Suddenly, Ken saw
liquid in that floor. He remembered that liquid same with the glass decoration
in that room. That liquid also same with that liquid in the thermos bottles’s
Ms. Diana. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">Mr. Carlos was
bothered why Micky gave the clue to them. Micky said, perhaps they did not
believe what he said. They saw there was smoke in that villa.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 66.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">“Maybe, they are open

Micky.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">In Micky’s house,
Micky accepted a message that the villa was very well. What happened, why all
this was all right. They came back to that villa. The went to the guest room.
After they entered, Ken and others also entered. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 66.0pt; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 66.0pt; text-align: justify;">

behind the serial murders,” said Ken.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 66.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">Ken and the others
explain that. The first crime, Mr. Kevin was victim. He died because he was
killed by Ms. Diana. The proof was that liquid in that floor and also because
that, Ken and friends knew which door that true to open. That smell of liquid
in that floor same with Ms. Diana’s has, and same with glass decoration that
before in front of the dog door. So that, they knew the dog door that the wrong
door to be opened.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 66.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">The second crime, Ms.
Diana was a victim. She murdered by Mrs. Alicia. The proof was a knife in near
Mrs. Alicia body. The blood in that knife same with the Ms. Diana’s blood, and
Mrs. Alicia’ fingerprint had found. The reason why Mrs. Alicia killed Ms.
Diana, because Mrs. Alicia did not want Ms. Diana used to disturbing her
relationship with her husband. Unfortunately, she also died in forest.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 66.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">The third crime, Mrs
Alicia was a victim. She killed by her husband. The proof that Mr. Ronald was
confessed that he killed her wife. He tired always curbed by his wife. The other
proof that his wedding ring fell to Mrs. Alicia shirt. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">The fourth crime, Mr.
Ronald was a victim. In this case, firstly, Ken and the others did not know,
because all people had died. One left person was Micky. Apparently, Mr Kevin
killed Mr. Ronald. the proof was the feather in pack of coffee. Mr. Ronald
perhaps had known Mr. Ronald’s hobby. Drinking a coffee. So that, Mr. Kevin
could put the feather in that pack of coffee.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 66.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">All the crimes that
happened were killed each other. This serial murders were plans by Mr. Carlos.
Mr. Carlos was a creator of the crimes. Ken and the others knew from Mr. Boy.
Mr. Boy told that Mr. Carlos was Mr. Dan’s friend. A long time ago, he was
betrayed by Mr. Dan, because all of his friends said that Mr. Carlos was the
culprit’s son. Mr. Dan could not any longer to be friend with Mr. Carlos.
Finally, Mr. Carlos followed his parents to be a criminal. He wanted his
grandchild, Micky also followed him. unfortunately, Micky always rejected
until now.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">“that’s right Mr.
Carlos,” said Ken “However, your heart hurt by someone, but it's never too late
to change. Maybe your friend had made a mistake, but give him a chance to
explain all.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 66.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">“Micky you are lucky,
you have great friends that is very believed in you,” said Mr. Carlos.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 66.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">Mr. Dan came to that
villa. He asked Ken and Friends to leave that room. He told to Mr. Carlos he
was very regretted had avoided Mr. Carlos. He should believe until end to his
friend. Mr. Carlos thought, it was too late. He did not accepted his sins in
the prison. He took some drugs and died.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="tab-stops: 66.0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-family: 'Century Gothic', sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">Finally, Micky still
became part of the School detective with Ken and the others. He started a new
life with his friends. They must became a great detectives in the world.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; mso-ansi-language: IN;">“Sakura!”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; mso-ansi-language: IN;">Sudah hampir 1 jam
sakura belum keluar dari kamar mandi, kebiasaan dia jika mandi selalu lama.
Neneknya sudah 15 menit memanggilnya, tetapi dia belum keluar juga. Hari ini,
hari pertama dia masuk SMA, setelah 2 tahun duduk di bangku SMP. Sakura adalah
gadis yang sangat pintar, dia duduk di bangku SMP hanya 2 tahun, bisa disebut
Akselerasi. Selain itu, dia pintar memainkan 2 alat musik yaitu piano dan
biola. Sejak kecil, dia tinggal bersama ayahnya di Jepang, setelah 6 tahun dia
pindah ke Indonesia karena kedua orangtua mereka bercerai. Sang ibu memilih
untuk kembali ke Indonesia, tetapi 1 tahun kemudian, dia meninggal karena
penyakit jantung. Sakura akhirnya tinggal bersama neneknya di Bandung. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; tab-stops: 4.0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; mso-ansi-language: IN;">“sakura!” panggil
neneknya lagi<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; tab-stops: 4.0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; mso-ansi-language: IN;">“<i>cotto matte</i>”<sup>1</sup> jawab Sakura<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; mso-ansi-language: IN;">Walaupun telah lama
tinggal di Indonesia hampir 8 tahun, tetapi dia tetap menggunakan bahasa jepang
kepada neneknya. Karena dia pikir, neneknya pun pintar bahasa jepang. Bukannya
dulu Indonesia pernah dijajah oleh jepang? Jadi dia pikir tidak masalah
menggunakan bahasa jepang kepada nenek tersayangnya itu. “berapa lama lagi kamu
akan didalam? Waktu shubuh sudah mau habis sakura..!” tambah nenek<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; mso-ansi-language: IN;">Sakura dari semalam
memang tidak bisa tidur memikirkan bagaimana hari esoknya di SMA, tetapi perasaannya
itu terkadang berubah menjadi muram. Dia takut, di SMA nanti teman-temannya
akan menganggap dia aneh. Sejak SMP, Sakura tidak memiliki teman dekat. Semua
teman-temannya menjauh darinya, karena mereka menganggap sakura mirip SADAKO<sup>2</sup>.
Pernah anak laki-laki melihat dia, ternyata dia langsung jatuh sakit, padahal
memang dia sedang sakit demam. Neneknya tahu bagaimana keadaan Sakura, walaupun
Sakura tidak pernah bilang pada neneknya.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; mso-ansi-language: IN;">“sakura, bekalmu sudah
nenek simpan di meja. Seperti biasa bento kesukaanmu” kata nenek<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; mso-ansi-language: IN;">“<i>arigato obaasan</i>” jawab Sakura<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; mso-ansi-language: IN;">Di perjalanan, ada
seorang laki-laki yang sedang kebingungan mencari jalan. Sepertinya anak SMA,
dilihat dari seragamnya sama persis seperti yang dipakai Sakura. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; mso-ansi-language: IN;">“maaf, kamu mencari
SMA pertiwi? Tanya Sakura<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; mso-ansi-language: IN;">“oh, iya benar. Kamu
tahu? Sepertinya kita satu sekolah” jawab pemuda itu<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; mso-ansi-language: IN;">“lurus, lalu belok
kanan” jawab Sakura<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; mso-ansi-language: IN;">Laki-laki itu sekilas
melihat Sakura, dia merasa Sakura gadis yang baik dan ada sesuatu yang
mengganggu pikirannya. Dia melihat bunga jatuh tepat diatas rambutnya, dia
mengambilnya dan memeberikannya kepada Sakura sambil berkata “terima kasih ya,
saya duluan”. Sakura memegang bunga itu dan menyimpannnya.. menyimpan juga di
dalam hatinya.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; mso-ansi-language: IN;">Apa yang Sakura
pikirkan memang benar. Tak ada satupun teman perempuan yang mau mendekatinya,
karena ternyata dikelasnya ada salah satu tetangganya yang tahu bagaimana
Sakura. Dia menyebarkan info buruk, bahwa Sakura mempunyai pengaruh buruk
terhadap teman-temannya. Laki-laki yang dia temui di hari pertama dia masuk,
ternyata satu kelas dengannya. Namanya adalah Rasya. Rasya selalu berusaha
untuk dekat dengan Sakura, tetapi terlalu banyak orang yang menyukainya, karena
selain tampan, Rasya populer di sekolah. Rasya selalu bersikap baik, dia ingin
membuktikan bahwa Sakura gadis baik.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; mso-ansi-language: IN;">Minggu depan,
sekolahnya akan mengadakan kejuaraan kesenian. Sakura ingin sekali
mengikutinya. dia memutuskan untuk meminta kepada teman-temannya agar dia bisa
ikut.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; mso-ansi-language: IN;">“aku pikir Sakura
jangan diikutsertakan di kejuaraan kesenian, bisa-bisa 1 sekolah lari melihat
mukanya yang mirip SADAKO itu” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; mso-ansi-language: IN;">“Aku juga berpikir
seperti itu.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; mso-ansi-language: IN;">Radia dan Kushi sedang
asyik berbicara tentang Sakura, mereka tidak tahu jika Sakura dari tadi
mendengar percakapan mereka. “maaf, bisakah aku ikut pertandingan kesenian? Aku
ingin sekali ikut” pinta Sakura<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; mso-ansi-language: IN;">“Sa..ku..ra kita
tidak...”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; mso-ansi-language: IN;">“mmm, aku tahu aku
memang aneh. Tapi, aku ingin seperti kalian mewakili kelas kita. Setidaknya
sekali ini saja. Aku akan berlatih rajin, aku.. aku..”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; mso-ansi-language: IN;">“baiklah, tapi kamu
tidak akan membuat kita pingsan bukan” tanya radia bercanda<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; mso-ansi-language: IN;">“hm..mm aku bukan
SADAKO. Aku tidak pernah melakukan hal seperti itu”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; mso-ansi-language: IN;">Semenjak itu, mereka
bertiga menjadi sahabat. Pulang sekolah, mereka selalu makan bareng di restoran
temannya radia. Kushi pun yang terlihat jutek ternyata sangat baik. Kebaikan
mereka karena Sakura pun sangat baik. Ketika ujian 1 minggu lagi, Sakura
membuatkan catatan ringkas mengenai rumus matematika yang tidak pernah radia
mengerti dari semenjak SMP, baginya pelajaran itu seperti bom bagi kehidupannya.
Kenapa matematika harus menjadi salah satu syarat kelulusan? Inilah yang tidak
dia sukai. Tapi, radia tidak pernah menyangka Sakura akan membantunya seperti
itu. Sakura dan Rasya pun akhirnya bisa menjadi dekat. Karena sebelumnya rasya
dengan Radia dan Kushi berteman sebelumnya. Mereka selalu jalan bersama. Tanpa
tahu, bagaimana perasaan mereka satu sama lain.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; mso-ansi-language: IN;">“Rasya!” panggil
seorang gadis cantik<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; mso-ansi-language: IN;">Gadis itu bernama
Indah. Dia sudah lama menyukai rasya, tetapi tidak pernah tahu bagaimana
perasaan Rasya yang sebenarnya. Sakura melihat kedekatan mereka, dia merasakan
jika gadis itu memang menyukai rasya. Entah apa yang dirasakan Rasya sendiri. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; mso-ansi-language: IN;">Ketika Sakura
memainkan alat musik, semua orang terpukau. Mereka belum pernah meihat Sakura
seperti itu. Sakura terlihat cantik, karena rambut yang biasanya menutupi muka
nya itu dia ikat. Sakura memainkan Biola, sedangkan Radia piano, dan Kushi yang
menyanyi. Mereka memenangkan pertandingan musik. Setelah hampir 1 bulan
berlatih bersama dan membuat mereka akhirnya menjadi teman. Indah melihat rasya
selalu tersenyum ketika melihat Sakura. Dia tidak bisa menerima itu. Dia
memutuskan untuk medekati Sakura dan membuatnya jauh dari rasya.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; mso-ansi-language: IN;">“sakura?” tanya indah<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; mso-ansi-language: IN;">“iya, anda siapa? Ada
yang bisa saya bantu?” jawab Sakura<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; mso-ansi-language: IN;">“selamat ya, permainan
biolamu sangat bagus”. Puji Indah<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; mso-ansi-language: IN;">“Arigato gozaimasu”<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; mso-ansi-language: IN;">“tidak salah lagi,
kamu pernah tinggal lama di jepang. Bahasa jepangmu sangat bagus, dan aku
mendengar kamu selalu disebut mirip SADAKO kan?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; mso-ansi-language: IN;">“hm..mm tapi aku bukan
SADAKO” jawab Sakura<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; mso-ansi-language: IN;">“aku ingin menjadi
temanmu. Boleh? Sepertinya kamu gadis yang baik Sakura”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; mso-ansi-language: IN;">“hai” </span></i><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; mso-ansi-language: IN;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; mso-ansi-language: IN;">Ketika Sakura sedang
di toilet, dia mendengar bahwa Radia dan Kushi menjadi buruk dimata orang-orang
karena dekat dengan dirinya. Sakura merasa bersalah, lalu dia memutuskan untuk
menjauhi Radia dan Kushi tanpa memberikan penjelasan apapun kepada mereka. Indah
pun menghasut Sakura untuk lebih baik menjauhi kedua temannya itu, karena
mereka akan semakin membenci Sakura jika rumor buruk itu semakin menyebar di
sekolah mereka.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; mso-ansi-language: IN;">apa yang harus ku lakukan tuhan?</span></i><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; mso-ansi-language: IN;"> Pinta Sakura dalam
hati<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; mso-ansi-language: IN;">“bilang kepada mereka
apa yang kamu rasakan Sakura” kata rasya<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; mso-ansi-language: IN;">Sakura kaget, apa yang
ada didalam hatinya Rasya tahu. “aku tidak tahu apa yang ada dalam hatimu, tapi
matamu mengatakan bahwa kamu tetap ingin menjadi bagian dari mereka, benar kan?”
tanya Rasya lagi. Sakura berhenti memainkan biolanya, lalu menangis. Dia bilang
semuanya kepada rasya, kenapa dia menjauhi Radia dan Kushi. Dia tetap ingin
menjadi teman mereka, tapi tidak ingin ada berita buruk terhadap temannya itu.
Rasya mengerti, lalu dia bilang jangan perdulikan apapun yang orang lain
katakan, apakah mereka ingin jauh dari Sakura, jia tidak kenapa harus menjauhi
mereka. Kata-kata itu membuat Sakura berpikir bahwa tindaknnya salah.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; mso-ansi-language: IN;">Radia bingung apa yang
harus dia lakukan terhadap Sakura. Kenapa akhir-akhir ini Sakura menjauhi
mereka. Awalnya dia memutuskan untuk menerima keputusan Sakura telah menjauhi
dia dan Kushi, tetapi Kushi berpikiran lain. Lebih baik mereka menanyakan
langsung kepada Sakura apa yang terjadi. Mereka merasakan perubahan dalam diri
mereka berkat Sakura, mereka lebih dekat dengan tuhan, selama ini mereka pun
merasakan Sakura memberikan pengaruh yang baik. Tetapi, kenapa dia tidak ingin
berteman lagi dengan mereka?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; mso-ansi-language: IN;">“kita harus
menanyakannya pada Sakura, radia” kata Kushi “selama ini aku merasa kita adalah
teman baik, aku sayang kepada Sakura”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; mso-ansi-language: IN;">“iya, aku juga kushi”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; mso-ansi-language: IN;">Di taman belakang,
ketika Sakura sedang membaca novel sendirian. Dia mendengar 3 orang
membicarakan hal buruk tentang kedua temannya itu. Sakura membantah perkataan
mereka, dan meminta mereka menarik kembali kata-kata buruk mereka tentang radia
dan kushi. 3 perempuan itu malah mendorong Sakura dan memakinya. Sakura tidak
peduli, yang penting mereka menarik perkataannya. Rasya melihat kejadian itu,
lalu berlari ke kelas memberitahu radia dan kushi, bahwa Sakura sedang
bertanding membela mereka.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; mso-ansi-language: IN;">Melihat kejadian itu, radia
menyuruh 3 orang itu berhenti. Sebelum mereka pergi, Sakura meminta lagi 3
perempuan itu menarik kata-katanya, dan mereka pun setuju. Lutut Sakura
berdarah, Kushi lalu membawanya ke ruang kesehatan. Disana, radia dan Kushi
menanyakan kenapa Sakura menjauhinya.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; mso-ansi-language: IN;">“kenapa kamu melakukan
ini, apa kamu bodoh? Melukai dirimu sendiri untuk hal seperti itu” Kata radia<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; mso-ansi-language: IN;">“aku tidak ingin
orang-orang berkata buruk tentang kalian, aku hanya ingin mereka tahu kalian
adalah orang baik” jawab Sakura<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; mso-ansi-language: IN;">“apa kamu menganggap
kita teman? Kenapa kamu menjauhi kita? Tanya Kushi<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; mso-ansi-language: IN;">“aku.. sayang kalian.
Aku hanya tidak ingin kalin dekat denganku, tetapi orang-orang berbicara buruk
tentang kalian”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; mso-ansi-language: IN;">“dasar bodoh, kenapa
kamu percaya orang lain? Harusnya kamu bilang apa yang kamu rasakan. Teman itu
berbagi juga kesedihan Sakura. Bukankah selama ini kamu mengajarkan itu kepada
kita? Jawab Kushi<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; mso-ansi-language: IN;">“kita masih berteman
kan? Tanya Radia<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; mso-ansi-language: IN;">Mereka pun berpelukan
dan mennagis. Rasya melihat itu ada rasa senang dalam dirinya telah membuat
mereka bersatu kembali. Radia dan Kushi mencari tahu, siapa dibalik ini semua.
Ternyata, Indah yang telah melakukannya. Mereka bilang kepada Sakura bahwa Indah
pelakunya. Mereka ingin memberikan peringatan kepada Indah, tetapi Sakura
menolaknya. Dia yang akan bilang kepada Indah. Sakura menemui Indah yang sedang
duduk kesal karena perbuatannya telah diketahui radia dan kushi. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; mso-ansi-language: IN;">“indah..” sapa Sakura<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; mso-ansi-language: IN;">“apa? Kamu mau bilang
pada Rasya seperti Radia dan Kushi juga? Jawab Indah kesal<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; mso-ansi-language: IN;">“tidak... merekapun
tidak akan bilang apapun kepada Rasya, aku melarangnya”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; mso-ansi-language: IN;">“kenapa? Aku tidak
bersimpati dengan sikap polosmu itu”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; mso-ansi-language: IN;">“maafkan aku, jika aku
merebut perhatian Rasya darimu, tetapi aku tidak tahu jika kamu menyukainya.
Jika kamu menyukainya, kenapa kamu tidak mengatakannya?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; mso-ansi-language: IN;">“aku... sejak SMP
sudah menyukainya, makanya aku selalu dekat dengannya, tetapi dia tidak pernah
tahu perasaan ku. Dan semenjak dia mengenalmu, dia.. makanya aku berteman
denganmu itu semua pura-pura saja, aku benci sama kamu”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; mso-ansi-language: IN;">Sakura hanya diam dan
tersenyum. Dia bilang kepada Indah, jika dia memang suka kepada rasya, kenapa
tidak bilang kepadanya. Kenapa harus menghancurkan persahabatan orang lain
dulu, kenapa harus menyakiti orang untuk mendapatkan sesuatu. Dan, karma terjadi
kepada Indah. Rasya tidak menyukainya. Rasya tahu apa yang terjadi, dan memang
rasya menyukai perempuan lain. Indah menyadari perbuatannya dan itu semua telah
berdampak baginya. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; mso-ansi-language: IN;">Radia dan Kushi
melihat Rasya dari jauh, sepertinya dia ingin mengatakan sesuatu kepada Sakura.
Mereka berdua izin pulang duluan, mereka berniat memberikan kesempatan untuk
Rasya mengatakan perasaannya. Radia dan kushi tidak sabar menunggu kabar
gembira dari Sakura, mereka menunggu Sakura di Restoran biasa. Sesampainya
sakura d restoran, Radia dan Kushi memberikan sederet pertanyaan, kapan
ngedate? Gimana rasya mengatakannya?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; mso-ansi-language: IN;">“kita hanya berteman”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; mso-ansi-language: IN;">“apa? Berteman?
Bukannya kalian saling menyukai?” tanya Kushi<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; mso-ansi-language: IN;">“suka bukan berarti harus
jadian kan? Jawab Sakura<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; mso-ansi-language: IN;">Sakura memutuskan
untuk melanjutkan ke Jepang, untuk tinggal bersama ayahnya. Dia akan membawa
neneknya juga kesana. Bagaimanapun, suami neneknya adalah orang Jepang. Makam
suami neneknya ada di Jepang. Rasanya nostalgia untuk neneknya kembali ke
Jepang setelah sekialn lam. Itulah alasan Sakura untuk tidak menerima Rasya.
Dan...<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; mso-ansi-language: IN;">Cinta dan persahabatan telah mewarnai kisah Sakura.
Tetapi, Sakura lebih memilih persahabatan. Karena baginya cinta Rasya hampir membuat
dia kehilangan 2 sahabatnya. Walaupun sebenanrnya dia tahu, rasya jugalah yang
menyatukan mereka. Menyukai seseorang bukan untuk memilikinya, cukup
menyimpannya didalam hati sebagai kenangan indah masa SMA.<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Harrington; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">I read a part of Alice in Wonderland novel “A Mad Tea
Party”, in that story Alice as main character dreamed that she met with some
friends. I want to discuss about why in Children Literature animal character
always in there? What does the animal is representative of something that
hidden in that story? What Alice’s dreams are also representative something or
not? She likes imagined something and it would happen in her dreams. How a
dream could influence psychology of the children in reality? In five Children
and it, granting wishes is a theme in it. I also want to discuss, is there any
relation of granting wishes in “Five Children and It” with Alice’s dreams in
“Alice in Wonderland”? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Harrington; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">In "Five Children and It" by implicit, its
ideology is capitalism, It seen from the first chapter that the five children
who had been living in London felt "not free", and when they moved to
a village, they liked finding a freedom. This case ever discussed in the
"Children's Literature's classroom" that the differences of people
living in the town and country are the crime rate in the city is higher than in
the village, a high sense of individuality, severe competition "who have a
lot of money, he would survived or has a powerful ". From all that difference,
showed its ideology is capitalism. Whether in children's literature especially
in “A Mad Tea party” there is an inherent ideology? Whether that ideology can influence
the habits of children? <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Harrington; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Pada tanggal 31 Oktober 2012 seolah menjadi hari
bersejarah bagi presiden negeri ini. Bagaimana tidak, presiden Indonesia
diberikan gelar “<i>Knight Grand Cross in
the Order of The Bath” </i>dari Ratu Kerajaan Inggris Ratu Elizabeth II.
Menurut SBY seharusnya rakyatnya berbangga diri atas penghargaan yang diterima
lewat dirinya di dunia internasional. Tetapi pertanyaannya apa dibalik gelar
yang diberikan Ratu Inggris ini kepada SBY?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Harrington; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Catatan sejarah Inggris jika dilihat penuh dengan
kejahatan terhadap umat manusia dan kaum muslim. Bagaimana tidak, Inggris salah
satu negara yang termasuk mengeruk kekayaan negara Indonesia. Sejarah dulu memperlihatkan bagaimana Inggris
mendukung pemerintah Hindia Belanda untuk menancapkan hegemoni penjajahannya di
Indonesia dengan membebaskan para tawanan dari tangan Jepang, hingga akhirnya
bisa dilawan oleh KH. Agus Hasyim Asy’ari dan KH. Wahab Hasbullah. Pasca
kemerdekaan pun Inggris dan sekutunya tidak berhenti menjajah negeri ini dengan
mengeruk kekayaan negeri, dan menyebarkan kebudaayan Barat. Dalam sejarah umat
muslim pun Inggris yang telah menghancurkan Khilafah Islamiyah di Turki dengan
kolusi bersama agennya Mustafa Kamal. Selain itu Inggris ada dibalik
penyerangan Amerika terhadap Irak dan Afghanistan. Begitulah catatan sejarah
hitam yang ditorehkan Negara Inggris, dan dari negeri Inggris itulah gelar yang
diterima SBY. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Harrington; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Sekarang Inggris ingin memperpanjang kontraknya di
Indonesia lewat British Petroleum (BP) yang merupakan perusahaan pengelolaan
gas blok Tangguh di Papua. Saat ini pabrik LNG BP Plc di Teluk Bintuni Papua
memiliki 2 train dengan kapasitas 7,6 juta metric ton LNG pertahun dan akan
ditambah menjadi 3 train yang diperkirakan sekitar 3.8 juta metric ton LNG
pertahun. Proposal ini pun dengan senang hati diterima oleh pemerintah RI. Persetujuan
kontrak pun ternyata disepakati setelah SBY resmi diberikan gelar dari Inggris
tersebut (nasional.kontan.co.id, 2/11)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Harrington; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri;">Beginilah penguasa negeri ini, memberikan sumber daya
alam kepada negeri penjajah. Padahal negeri sendiri sedang dilanda kemiskinan.
Tidak ada bedanya penjajahan dulu dan sekarang, saat ini hanya dibungkus dengan
bungkus yang cantik, padahal negeri ini sedang dikeruk kekayaannya. <em><span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 1pt none windowtext; font-style: normal; padding: 0cm;">Tidak sepantasnya penguasa negeri ini
mencari kemuliaan dengan gelar atau embel-embel apapun dari negeri penjajah
seperti Inggris. Karena kemuliaan hanya akan di dapat ketika menerapkan aturan
yang tidak memihak kepentingan golongan tertentu serta dicintai rakyatnya.</span></em><em><span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: 1pt none windowtext; padding: 0cm;"><o:p></o:p></span></em></span></div>
