Bapak Warung yang Pintar

Oke, gw ga tau si bapannya yang pinter ato gw yg ***
Suatu hari, persediaan air minum di kostan saya sudah habis, alhasil saya berniat membeli Aqua botol yg 600 mL di warung deket kostan Sella, Pesanggrahan. Warung ini dimiliki oleh sepasang suami istri, kebetulan yang lagi jaga cuma si bapake.

Sesampainya di warung, terjadi percakapan singkat yang mengharukan.
Le me : "Pak, beli."
Bapak : "Beli apa mas?"
Me : "Beli Aqua botol yang ga dingin, ada pak?"
Bapak : "Ga ada mas, adanya yang kecil" sambil mengeluarkan aqua botol yg kecil, mungkin kira2 250 mL.

Saya yang penasaran pun, dengan lihai mengintip ke dalam warung, dan menemukan benda yg saya inginkan.
Me : "Lah, itu apa pak di belakang?" Sambil nunjuk jejeran botol Ades dan 2 Tang
Bapak : "Ia mas, tapi itu Ades, bukan Aqua"
Me : "...................................................................." Hening.
Aku tak menyangka, satu kalimat sependek itu, bisa sangat mengetuk hati dan nurani. Jauh di lubuk sana, jiwa ini terguncang dengan hebatnya. *Ok fix, ini berlebihan.

Me : "Yaudah pak, Ades juga ga apa-apa"
Bapak : "3 ribu mas" ngambil botol minum tersebut, dan memberikannya kepada saya.

Terimakasih sudah mau menghabiskan 5 menit hidup anda sia-sia dengan membaca artikel ini.

Sekali lagi, ini ades, bukan aqua

Genre                                   : Science-fiction

The last humans' hope

                It was the last day before alien-Drej destoryed Earth. Everybody was on a lot of huge rockets, ready to save their life, but Cale -5 years old- didn't want to leave, because his father left him and just gave him a ring.

                15 years later, human survivors scattered the galaxy, and Cale still hated his father. Until one day, he met new friends who told him there was a hope for human race. He realized that the ring which his father gave him- was a map to find the Titan, an advanced technology spaceship, which could bring human race to their home. He did his journey with Akima, a female human pilot, Korso, and 3 other aliens, Preed, Stith, and Gune.

                But their goal wouldn't be so easy, because the Queen of the Drej, Susquehana wanted the Titan eagerly as Cale and Akima did. But, finally Cale and Akima got the ship first and there was a battle between them and the Drej, which victory was human's. So, they made a new planet for human race's home with the Titan. And Cale realized that his father was not a bad guy, he just tried to save his son from dangers.

                The weakness of this novel is, it lacks of description that makes the readers difficult to imagine how do the aliens look like. And, there are some of alien word that I think, only the writer who understand it. The strength of this novel is its plot. The writer tells the story chronologically and makes the readers understand the sequences effortless.

                The moral value of this novel is, there's a will, there's a way. I recommend this novel to anyone who like adventure and science-fiction story.

Publisher and Year                : Scholastic Inc., 2001

Loyalty, Survival, and Kindness

Black beauty is a fiction novel which tells about a black horse’s life. Black Beauty is a male horse, and has a white star-coat in his forehead.

When he was a clot, he has been well bred and well cared by his master. After he was a horse, he was sold to Squire Gordon and John Manly as the groom. The new master and the groom were nice, kindly and thoughtful person, just like his previous master. He lived there for 3 years. But one day, the master’s mistress got an ill that made the master has to sell Black Beauty.

After that, Black Beauty has many new owners. Some of them were nice person, and the others were not. He has been a cab-horse, and even driven by a drunken fellow. But he kept his spirit and did what the best.In his journey, he met a lot of horses, and made friends. Some of his bestfriend were Ginger, who has been ill-used by her previous master, and Captain, who was a war horse.

The weakness of this heart touching novel is, sometimes the name in the dialogue makes reader confused -wether it’s human or horse who is talking-. The strength of this novel is, the writer’s point of view. Anna Sewell put herself as a horse and succeed makes the readers fell like a horse too.

Moral value of this novel is, “Grow up gentle and good, and never learn bad ways, do your work with a good will” (Anna Sewell, p.2). I do recommend this amazing novel for everyone who’d like to learn about loyalty, survival, and kindness story, even it come from a horse.

She was Lady in Biding...

This novel has four main characters, there are John Caldwell and his friend, Jordan DeVaux who are Professor of astronomy in Trinity University, Cambridge; and a mysterious widow called Lady Eleanor Whitcombe and his son, William.

One day, DeVaux introduced his friend, Lady Whitcombe and William to Caldwell, but the introduction was not good enough, because Caldwell let Will –which had respiratory illness- sled in the snow, and it made Lady Whitcombe dislike Caldwell at the first.

Caldwell was interested to Lady Whitcombe, but she looked like hid something, unknown story about her past. She had isolated herself about 9 years from society, until one day Will got sick and she must brought him to the doctor at the midnight. After Will was treated by the doctor, the Lady got the problem with the way to back home, because there was no transpotation in the midnight. But, they met Caldwell and he brought them to the Observatory. There, Lady Whitcombe told the truth to the Caldwell, that William was another man’s son, and the marriage with Whitcome was just arranged. That was why she lived in Potton, because in London people always humiliate her.

With the presence of Caldwell, Lady Whitcombe’s life got better. They liked each other. But the Master of the campus, remind the professor of astronomy that there was no scandal must attach to Trinity name. Moreover, the Master knew Eleanor’s past and he hated it. And then one day, Caldwell couldn’t stand with the Master’s humiliation about Eleanor, so he hit the Master. The effect, Caldwell resigned from the university. But Eleanor didn’t want this happened, so she asked the Master to return Caldwell to his position. Finally, the Master resigned himself, and committee requested Caldwell to stay. And, Caldwell proposed the Eleanor to become a Lady Caldwell.

The strength of this romance novel is, we can know a little knowledge about astronomy such as when Lyrids meteor happened. The weakness of this novel is, there’s a lot of repetition and lack of attention to the punctuation, such as in page 102 and 121, there’s no quotation mark that distinguish the end of direct speech and the indirect one.

The moral value of this happy ending story is, we can bid from society, but we can’t bide from love.
