conveying the author's experience or as a medium to develop the imagination of the reader.
Examples of narrative text such as folklore, fairy tales, or fables that are legendary from all parts of
the world, although the narrative text is generally imaginative, some narrative text is also factual.

beberapa narrative text juga ada yang faktual."

C.Generic Structure of Narrative Text - Struktur Narrative Text

Narrative Text memiliki 3 susunan struktur seperti ini:

1.Orientation / Orientasi

The orientation section contains the opening of the story that contains the introduction of
characters, introduction to the background time and place of the story. Anyway, this section
contains a general part of the story that includes what, who, when, and where the story is told.

"Bagian orientation berisi tentang pembukaan cerita yang mengandung pengenalan tokoh,

umum dari cerita yang mencakup apa, siapa, kapan, dan dimana cerita tersebut diceritakan."
2.Complication / Komplikasi

must resolve the conflicts.

"Pada bagian ini, sang tokoh utama mulai mengalami konflik dalam kehidupannya dan sang pemeran

3.Resolution / Resolusi

The resolution section is the ending story section. In this section all the problems must be resolved
by the main character. In the resolution section there is also usually a moral message or moral value

Kinds of Narrative Text - Jenis-Jenis Narrative Text

Dibagian ini akan kami jelaskan beberapa contoh teks naratif yang sering muncul di dalam materi-
materi pelajaran bahasa Inggris. Tidak hanya itu kami juga sajikan contoh narrative text dalam
bahasa Inggris.

1. Kind of Narrative Text - Folklore / Folktale (Cerita Rakyat)

Folklore / folktale atau di Indonesia sering disebut dengan Dongeng adalah adat istiadat tradisional
dan cerita rakyat yang diwariskan secara turun menurun, tetapi tidak dibukukan.

Narrative Text - Folklore - Ande Ande Lumut

Ande Ande Lumut

The episode Ande Ande Lumut tells another version of the union between Prince Kusumayuda and
Kleting Kuning. She is the youngest of four sisters, all daughters of a widow in a village within the
Prince Kusumayuda's father domain. The widow daughters were named according to colors: the
eldest is Kleting Abang (Kleting Merah/Red Kleting), next is Kleting Biru (Blue Kleting), then Kleting Ijo
(Green Kleting), and the youngest is Kleting Kuning (Yellow Kleting). All of Kleting Kuning's older
sisters are jealous because Kleting Kuning is very beautiful. Kleting Kuning actually is an adopted
foster daughter, and the missing princess of Janggala kingdom, later known as Dewi Candrakirana.
Keleting Kuning was betrothed to Prince Kusumayuda and he never forgot the face of the beautiful
young princess meant to be his future consort and the future queen of Banyuarum kingdom. He
continued to love her and look for her even after they were separated when the princess became
lost as a child.

Batik depicting Yuyu Kangkang emerging from the river.

After many years of Kleting Kuning living in the village with the widow's family, a rich and handsome
eligible bachelor named Ande Ande Lumut declared that he was searching for a bride. Many girls
across the kingdom were smitten and interested in becoming his wife, including Kleting Kuning's
sisters. Only Kleting Kuning was not interested since she had not forgotten the youthful face and
betrothal to Prince Kusumayuda. However a magical crane told Kleting Kuning to participate in this
event where her true fate awaited her. All of the girls dressed up beautifully, putting on their make-
up and marched together towards Ande Ande Lumut's house. However her stepmother ordered
Kleting Kuning not to dress up and even disguised her beauty in ugly and dirty clothes, hoping one of
her own daughters, who were Kleting Kuning's elders, would win more favor and the bachelor's
heart. She even gave her a sapu lidi (a simple broom made of coconut leaf spines) to carry, in order
to make Kleting Kuning looks like a poor servant, however actually it was a magical broom.

In their journey, the girls had to cross a large river without any ferry services. The river was guarded
by a giant freshwater crab named Yuyu Kangkang. Yuyu Kangkang offered to take the girls across the
river, riding upon its back, in return for a kiss. In order to reach Ande Ande Lumut's house as fast as
possible, the girls hastily agreed on this arrangement and allowed Yuyu Kangkang to kiss them.
Kleting Kuning arrived late at the river bank after he had taken the others across, and again Yuyu
Kangkang offered its service for a kiss. Of course Kleting Kuning, who always upheld her modesty and
chastity, refused. Yuyu Kangkang, angered with Kleting Kuning refusal, tried to eat her. In defense
Kleting Kuning tried to hit the crab but missed and hit the river with her broom and magically all the
water in the river dried up, and Kleting Kuning was able to cross the river safely. Yuyu Kangkang was
trapped on the dry banks and was very scared and he begged her for her mercy and forgiveness and
to return the river to its home as it was before. Kleting Kuning felt sorry for him and again hit the
ground with the broom and the water returned washing the relieved Yuyu Kangkang downstream.
By then, Kleting Kuning's sisters had reached Ande Ande Lumut's house where they were greeted
kindly by Ande Ande Lumut's mother and served refreshments. Although the girls are pretty, and
Ande Ande Lumut liked them, he refused all of them because he could detect the smelly pungent
fishy kiss of Yuyu Kangkang on them. Finally Kleting Kuning arrived, dirty and simply dressed like a
servant, which is how her sisters introduce her to Ande Ande Lumut's mother who asked her to wait
outside. However Ande Ande Lumut received her warmly, as he could see the true beauty beneath
and invited her in. After he speaks to her, he realizes that Kleting Kuning is the princess, his long lost
love. At that moment Kleting Kuning also realizes that Ande Ande Lumut is actually Kusumayuda, her
beloved prince. They are reunited, soon are married and live happily ever after.

2 . Kind of Narrative Text - Personal Experience (Pengalaman Pribadi)

Personal Experience adalah cerita yang menceritakan pengalaman pribadi dan biasanya diceritakan
melalui sudut pandang orang pertama.

Narrative Text - Personal Experience - Women's Rights

During my third year of college I became acutely aware of the Womens Rights Issue. I made an
attempt to re-examine many of the cultural norms that I had previously accepted as just being "the
natural order of things." One of the paths I took to expand my awareness of the female psyche
involved women's literature. That is why I spent one weekend of my life in bed--crying, laughing,
feeling sometimes confused, and often, incredibly angry and distraught. On that rainy Humboldt
Friday night I had decided to read "The Women's Room."

The author, Marilyn Fridey, describes the lives of several women from the 1950's to present. These
women are nothing out of the ordinary. They either go to college and then get married, or they get
married without bothering about the pretense of college--after all, they know that college is only a
way to find more economically promising husbands. Myra, the main character whose life is traced
throughout the book vaguely wonders why she is not content cooking pot roast, scraping shit from
the baby's diapers, and picking up her husband's dry cleaning. Her only solace is the neighborhood
of women who share concerns over coffee in the afternoons.

They wonder why Katherine, a Catholic woman who has 9 children and an alcoholic husband,
committed suicide. "She had a normal life, they thought, she just should have talked her husband
into using birth control." As for the rest of the women, including Myra, their lives, fears,
disappointments and yearnings, were much more subtle, yet equally suicidal in their quiet
desperation.

Many years down the road, Myra's life finally changes. Her husband has "made it", the kids have
grown, and life is easy economically. Myra has a nervous breakdown. Once recovered, she divorces,
and becomes a graduate student at Yale. Though painful and difficult, it is here that she comes to
terms with herself, realizes her potential, and learns to live with herself--not necessarily happily--but
at least honestly.

After I finished the story of Myras world that Sunday evening, I woke up in the middle of the night
sobbing uncontrollably from a terrible nightmare. Though I couldn't remember the dream, I came to
a profound realization. Myra's life was my mothers.

Most of my life I had revered, respected and admired my father for going to college, being intelligent
and worldly, having power and control. In short for being a man.

My mother always seemed too "wishy-washy", easily trodden upon, overly dependent because she
had chosen the role of HOUSEWIFE, MOTHER. I rebelled against the tradition, and feared wearing
those chains someday. Consequently, I strove to be like my father.
Until this book, I never realized how much more courage it took for a person to live within a stifled
role, and find contentment by living through other people. During that night of crying I understood
my mother for the first time--I respected her inner strength, compassion, gentleness.

Ever since then, my relationship with my mother has evolved, and we are very close. I will probably
never adopt the role in life that she chose to take, but I now respect her for her life, and understand
the reasons why she made those choices. Reading of Myra's evolution as a female changed the way
I feel towards myself, my feelings and compassion for my mother, and provided me with a much
more sensitive view towards the lives of many women in our society today.

3.Kind of Narrative Text - Fairy Tale (Kisah Peri)

Fairy Tale adalah suatu cerita simpel tentang makhluk magis, seperti peri, naga, penyihir dan putri,
raksasa dan lain-lain

Contoh Narrative Text-Fairytale-Thumbelina

Thumbelina

Once upon a time, there was a kind woman who had no children, longed for a baby and would often
say, “How I would love to have a baby girl, even a tiny little one.” A beautiful fairy heard her wish
one day, and gave her a little seed to plant in a flowerpot. When the seed bloomed into a tulip, the
woman saw a tiny, beautiful girl inside, no bigger than her thumb. She decided to call her
Thumbelina. She was so small that she had a walnut shell for a bed and used petals as a blanket.
Then, an ugly toad fell in love with Thumbelina.

One night when she was sleeping, he carried her off to his lily pad in a pond. Thumbelina was very
unhappy. A swallow was passing by and saw how sad she looked, and said, “Come south with me to
warmer lands.” Young Thumbelina flew away on the swallow’s back. They flew across the seas and
came to a land of sunshine. The swallow said, ” This is my home. You can live in one of the loveliest
and biggest flowers.” When Thumbelina stepped inside, she found a handsome fairy, as tiny as her,
in its heart. He was the son of the king of flowers and he fell in love with Thumbelina. He asked her
to marry him. So Thumbelina became queen of the flowers and the two lived happily ever after.

minoritas berupa manusia. Cerita fabel juga sering disebut cerita moral karena mengandung pesan

Contoh Narrative Text-Fable-The Jackal and the pond full of fish

The Jackal and the pond full of fish

Long ago, a big jackal wanted some fish to eat. He went to look for a dried-up pond so that he could
catch the fish easily.

One day, he found a pond which had only a little water, a lot of mud and many kinds of fish in it.

“I’m hungry today,” the jackal thought, “I’m very hungry.”

A shrimp in the pond knew what the jackal was thinking. “Brother Jackal,” he said in a kind voice,
“You can eat us all up. But look, we’re covered in mud. If you eat us like this, we’ll taste horrible.”

“What can I do to make you taste nice?” asked the jackal.

“Take us away and wash us,” said the shrimp.

“But there are thousands of fish in the pond. Where can I take you all? And how can I wash you all?”

“Don’t worry,” said the shrimp. “Just stretch out in the mud. Let some of us hang on to your fur.
Then you can get up and take us to pond with a lot of water in it,”

The jackal was greedy and stupid. So he did what the shrimp said. He stretched out in the mud.
Some of the fish hung on to his fur. Then the jackal got up and went to look for another into it. The
fish in his fur jumped off into the water.

“Go back,” said the shrimp to the jackal, “and pick up the other fish.” So the jackal went back and got
some more of the fish. Again and again, he walked back to the old pond. At last, all the fish were in
the pond full of water.

When the fish saw they were all together again, they swam away into deep water. When jackal saw
they had tricked him, he was very angry.
He hurried away to look for big animals, snakes, and birds. He found elephants, tiger, buffaloes, and
pigs. He found python and cobras. He found crows, sparrows, and vultures. He said to them, “Please
help me to empty all the water out of the pond.”

He said to the python, “the animals and birds will take the water out of the pond. Then you can
Swallow it.”

When the fish in the pond heard this, they were frightened. They said to each other, “What can we
do to stop these animals?”

A cat-fish said, “People say the hare is very clever animal. He knows how to help animals in trouble.
Shall I go and ask him to help us?”

The other fish agreed. So the cat-fish left the pond to look for the hare. All day he moved slowly and
heavily along the ground—flip flop, flip flop. In the evening, the hare came out to look for some
food. When he saw the catfish he asked, “Where are you going?”

The cat-fish was happy to see the hare and said, “Oh brother hare, have pity on me. The fish in the
pond have asked me to find you. People say you are very clever. You can help animals in trouble.
Please help us. All kinds of animals and snakes and birds have come to our pond. They are going to
take the water out of the pond. Then the python will swallow the water and the jackal will eat up all
the fish! Come and help us.”

“all right” said the hare, “Go back and tell the other fish not to be afraid.” The cat –fish then went
back to the pond.

The next morning, the hare come along. He saw the animals taking out the water. He found a long
leaf which some worms had eaten. It was full of little holes. He shouted to the animals, “Brothers! I
have a letter to you from the great God Indra,” he looked at the left and pretended to read it. “He
says he will come and break the ducks’ leg and crush the eagles. He will cut off the jackal’s head and
pull out the elephant’s tusks!”

The animals were frightened when they heard this. They climbed on top of each other. Then they
climbed on top of the pythons. The pythons burst. All the pond water rushed out of their bodies. The
water came out so fast that all the animals drowned.

And instead of the animals eating the fish, the fish ate the animals.

Last night I was walking home next to the river Thames, when something strange happened to me. It
was late at night and I’d had a long and difficult day at work. There was a large full moon in the sky
and everything was quiet. I was tired and lonely and I’d just had a few pints of beer in my local pub,
so I decided to stop by the riverside and look at the moon for a while. I sat on some steps very close
to the water’s edge and looked up at the big yellow moon and wondered if it really was made of
cheese. I felt very tired so I closed my eyes and after a few minutes, I fell asleep.

When I woke up, the moon had moved behind a cloud and it was very dark and cold. The wind was
blowing and an owl hooted in a tree above me. I rubbed my eyes and started to get up, when
suddenly I heard a splash. I looked down at the water and saw something. Something terrible and
frightening, and unlike anything I’d ever seen before. Something was coming out of the water and
moving towards me. Something green and strange and ugly. It was a long green arm and it was
stretching out from the water to grab my leg. I was so scared that I couldn’t move. I’d never been so
scared in my whole life. The cold green hand was moving closer and closer when suddenly there was
a blue flash and a strange noise from behind me. Someone jumped onto the stairs next to me. He
was wearing strange clothes and he had a crazy look in his eyes. He shouted “Get Back!” and pointed
something at the monster in the water. There was a bright flash and the monster hissed and
disappeared.
I looked up at the man. He looked strange, but kind. “Don’t fall asleep by the river when there’s a full
moon”, he said “The Moon Goblins will get you.” I’d never heard of moon goblins before. I didn’t
know what to do. “Who… who are you?” I asked him. “You can call me… The Doctor.” He said. I was
trying to think of something else to say when he turned around and said, “Watch the stars at night,
and be careful of the full moon”. I was trying to understand what he meant, when there was another
blue flash and I closed my eyes. When I opened them again, he had gone.

I couldn’t believe what had happened. What on earth were Moon Goblins, and who was the
mysterious Doctor? And why had he saved me? I was determined to find the answers to these
strange questions. I stood up, looked at the moon and quickly walked home.

FAST SEVEN

After defeating Owen Shaw and his crew and securing amnesty for their past crimes,
Dominic “Dom” Toretto, Brian O’Conner, and the rest of their team had returned to the United
States to live normal lives again. Brian began to accustom himself to life as a father, while Dom tried
to help Letty Ortiz regain her memories. Meanwhile, Owen’s older brother, Deckard Shaw, broke
into the secure hospital the comatose Owen was being held in and swears vengeance against Dom,
before breaking into Luke Hobbs’ DSS office to extract profiles of Dom’s crew. After revealing his
identity, Shaw engaged Hobbs in a fight and escapes when he detonated a bomb that severely
injures Hobbs. Dom later learned from his sister Mia that she was pregnant again and convinced her
to tell Brian. However, a bomb, disguised in a package sent from Tokyo, exploded and destroyed the
Toretto house just seconds after Han, a member of their team, was killed by Shaw in Tokyo. Dom
later visited Hobbs in a hospital, where he learned that Shaw was a rogue special forces assassin
seeking to avenge his brother. Dom then traveled to Tokyo to claim Han’s body and met and raced
Sean Boswell, a friend of Han’s who gave him personal items found at Han’s crash site.

At Han’s funeral in Los Angeles, Dom noticed a car observing them, and after a chase,
confronts its driver, Shaw. Both prepared to fight, Shaw slipped away when a covert ops team
arrived and opened fire. The team was led by a man who called himself Mr. Nobody, who said that
he would assist Dom in stopping Shaw if he helped him obtain the God’s Eye, a computer program
that used digital devices to track down a person, and saved its creator, a hacker named Ramsey,
from a mercenary named Mose Jakande. Dom, Brian, Letty, Roman Pearce, and Tej Parker then
airdrop their cars over the Caucasus Mountains in Azerbaijan, ambush Jakande’s convoy, and rescue
Ramsey. The team then went to Abu Dhabi, where a billionaire had acquired the flash drive
containing the God’s Eye, and managed to steal it from the owner. With the God’s Eye near
telecommunications repeaters, the team tracked down Shaw, who was waiting at a remote factory.
Dom, Brian, Mr. Nobody, and his team attempted to capture Shaw, but were ambushed by Jakande
and his team, and were forced to flee while Jakande obtained the God’s Eye. At his own request, Mr.
Nobody left to be evacuated by helicopter. Left with no other choice, the team returned to Los
Angeles to fight Shaw, Jakande, and his men. Meanwhile, Brian promised Mia that once they dealt
with Shaw, he would dedicate himself entirely to their family. While Jakande pursued Brian and the
rest of the team with a stealth helicopter and an aerial drone, Ramsey attempted to hack into the
God’s Eye. Hobbs, seeing the team in trouble, left the hospital and destroyed the drone with an
ambulance. Ramsey then regained control of the God’s Eye and locked it down. Meanwhile, Dom
and Shaw engaged in a one-on-one brawl in a parking garage, before Jakande intervened and
attacked them both. Shaw was defeated when part of the parking garage collapsed beneath him.
Dom then launched his vehicle at Jakande’s helicopter, tossing Shaw’s bag of grenades onto skidded,
before injuring himself when his car landed and crashes. Hobbs then shot the bag of grenades from
ground level, destroying the helicopter and killing Jakande. Dom was pulled from the wreckage of his
car, believed dead. As Letty cradled Dom’s body in her arms, she revealed that she had regained her
memories and that she remembered their wedding. Dom regained consciousness soon after,
remarking, “It’s about time”.

Shaw was taken into custody by Hobbs and locked away in a secret, high-security prison, 32
meters underground. At a beach, Brian and Mia played with their son while Dom, Letty, Roman, Tej,
and Ramsey observed, acknowledging that Brian was better off retired with his family. Dom silently
left, but Brian caught up with him at a crossroad. As Dom remembers the times that he had with
Brian, they bid each other farewell and drive off in separate directions.

Unpleasant Sailing
Jason Lyman, his wife, Barbara, and their friends, John and Susan Dunne left Bermuda in Jason’s boat
for a trip to Miami.

While Jason drove the boat, John looked at maps, and Barbara and Susan lay on the deck enjoying
the sun.

John went to Jason with a map of the course they had to take to get to Miami. “Hey, Jason, look at
this, “John said and put a map on the console in front of Jason. “We’re sailing on the edge of the
Bermuda Triangle.”

“Is that a problem?” Jason asked.

“Haven’t you ever heard of the Devil’s Triangle?”

“Yeah, John, I’ve heard of it. It’s the Bermuda Triangle. So what? Are you worried?”

“Yeah, I’m worried. The stories are something to think about. Ships and people have disappeared in
the Triangle, and, yeah, I’m worried. A lot has been written about the Devil’s triangle, and I don’t
think the stories were made up. I suppose you think the stories were made up?”

“Yes. I think the stories were made up. Do you think a monster of some sort lives in the ocean and
waits for ships to sail its waters, a ship like this one, and comes out of the water and pulls the ships
into the water and eats all the people on board?” Jason said mocking John.

“Okay, mock me.”

After an hour out, the wind picked up.

“One minute it was sunny and calm and the next minute the wind is blowing us all over the place,”
Jason yelled over the roar of the wind.

“This damn wind is pushing us off course,” John yelled as he held tightly to the wheel.
“I don’t like this,” Jason shouted. “I think it’s time for everybody to put on life jackets,” he said, and
gave life jackets to the girls.

Everybody had life jackets on as the wind picked up, and the boat was tossed around like it was a
toy. “The wind is unbelievable,” John shouted and strained to hold the wheel steady as he turned on
the radio. “This is Lady Grace somewhere off Bermuda. Winds are high. My boat is being battered by
huge waves. I don’t know where we are. Is anybody listening? Can anyone hear me?” he yelled.
“Nobody is receiving my call.”

The boat spun around throwing John, Jason, and the women against the sides of the boat.

John rushed to the wheel that spun like a top and held on to it. “I don’t think this boat is going to be
in one piece much longer,” John warned. “Make sure your life jackets are secure.”

As they were tossed around, a huge wave swamped the boat and the four were washed overboard.
As they tried to reach each other, a giant, muscular, hairy humanoid, humanoid to its waist and fish
from the waist down, came out of the water and slapped its huge, thirty-foot fish tail, on the water
causing high waves. The people in the water screamed as the creature looked at them, and they
gasped as the creature put Jason in its mouth, chewed him up, and swallowed him. They tried to
swim away, but the creature grabbed the others, put them all in its mouth, chewed for several
moments and then swallowed them. After eating the four people, it smashed the boat with its tail
and then retreated back in the water. About ten minutes later, the wind stopped and the sea was
calm.

Like Jason, John, Jason should have been worried, because Jason’s mocking words were prophetic.
“Do you think a monster of some sort lives in the ocean and waits for ships to sail its waters, a ship
like this one, and comes out of the water and pulls the ships into the water and eats all the people
on board?”

Ali Baba

Once upon a time there were 40 cruel thieves who put their stolen money and treasures in a cave.
They went in the cave by saying ”Open Sesame” to the cave entrance. A poor person, named Ali
Baba saw them while they were doing that, so he heard the opening word. After they left, he went
toward the cave and opened it. Suddenly he found a very large quantity of money and golden
treasures. He took some of it and went back home. After that he became a rich man and his brother
wanted to know how he became rich.

Ali Baba turned into the richest man in his village. His evil brother was really jealous of him, and
wanted to know how he could get such a lot of money. Therefore, when Ali Baba went to the cave
again to take some more money, his brother followed him. He saw everything, and decided to go
back the next day to take some money for himself. The next morning he found a lot of money in the
cave, and he wanted to take all of them. Unfortunately, when he was busy carrying the money to his
house, the thieves came. The boss of the thieves asked him how he knew about the cave. He told
everything, but unluckily they killed him and went to Ali Baba’s house.

After finding Ali Baba’s house, they made a plan to kill him the following night. Some of the thieves
hid in big jars, and the boss pretended that he was a merchant who wanted to sell the jars to Ali
Baba. Ali Baba who was a kind man invited the boss of the thief to have lunch together.

After lunch they took a rest. Luckily, the house maid went out of the house, and found that there
were thieves inside the jars. She finally boiled hot oil and poured it into the jars to kill all of them.
The boss of the thieves was caught, and put into prison.

Ali Baba was saved from the danger, and he finally lived happily ever after with his maid who
became his wife shortly after.

Contoh Narrative Text-Historical-Diponegoro Wars

Diponegoro Wars
Diponegoro (1785–1855), a descendant of the Sultans of Yogyakarta, was passed over several times
for ascension to the throne. In 1825, after declaring himself Ratu Adil and his enemies infidels for
their lax practice of Islam, he began a war against the reigning sultan and the Dutch colonial
government. In the five-year struggle that followed, which was waged over much of central Java,
over 200,000 Javanese and 15,000 Dutch soldiers were killed. On 28 March 1830, with most other
guerrilla leaders captured, Diponegoro was invited to come to Lieutenant General De Kock's home in
Magelang to negotiate an end of hostilities and guaranteed safety of passage. There, after three
hours, Diponegoro was arrested. He was exiled to Makassar, Sulawesi, where he remained until his
death.

Saleh's depiction is not the only painted version of Diponegoro's capture. An earlier version, The
Submission of Prince Dipo Negoro to General De Kock, was completed c. 1835 by Nicolaas Pieneman
on commission by De Kock or his family. Rather than an angry and defiant man, Pieneman presented
a submissive and beaten Diponegoro, standing lower than his captor and thus symbolically having
less power. Overall, Pieneman's painting gives the impression that, although De Kock is acting sternly
in exiling Diponegoro, it is in the best interest of the Javanese. The author Susie Protschky describes
both Pieneman and Saleh's works as "two of the best known history paintings from the Indies".

Saleh returned to Java in 1851 after a lengthy period studying in Europe, during which he had
claimed a familial relationship to the guerrilla and protested his treatment at the hands of the Dutch
colonial administration. Diponegoro died in 1855, which art historian Werner Krauss suggests
inspired the artist to complete The Arrest of Pangeran Diponegoro and "reformulate" the arrest in
Javanese terms, rather than the colonial terms of Pieneman. Although Saleh had never met the
prince, and had been studying in Europe when Diponegoro was captured, his family had fought for
Diponegoro.

Saleh's sketch for the painting (1856)

Pieneman's painting was already known to Saleh, and he may have known the artist as well. Saleh
was also likely inspired by history painters, particularly Louis Gallait; Krauss finds similarities
between Gallait's The Abdication of Charles V and Saleh's depiction of Diponegoro's arrest. The
artist's use of colour is reminiscent of the nature works by Horace Vernet and Eugène Delacroix,
both of whom Saleh was familiar with, and De Kock's pose appears to have been influenced by
Italian Renaissance paintings.

Work had begun in 1856, when Saleh requested permission to travel to various sites related to the
Java War, but was denied. A preliminary sketch was completed later that year; Saleh had previously
visited a cousin in Magelang, where Diponegoro was arrested, and was thus aware of the area and
the setting. In his preparations, Saleh made one of his most ambitious projects, with more than forty
people in the frame. Krauss stated that The Arrest of Pangeran Diponegoro was both the first South-
East Asian painting in the historical painting genre, and the first one by a South-East Asian artist to
depict an event from the area.
The completed painting was gifted to King William III of the Netherlands. Saleh said that it was a
"token of thanks" for the Dutch government paying for his education in Europe for nearly twenty-
three years.[9] After several years in the Palace in The Hague, The Arrest of Pangeran Diponegoro
was hung in Bronbeek, a home for Royal Colonial Military veterans. Around the early 1970s, The
Arrest of Pangeran Diponegoro was given some restoration, including a new coat of varnish. In 1978,
the Oranje Nassau Foundation arranged for the work to be sent to the government of Indonesia; this
was done under the terms of the Cultural Accord of 1969.

The Arrest of Pangeran Diponegoro was initially held at the Central Museum, along with other
artefacts from the Java War, up through the early 1980s. By 2005, the painting was kept in the Istana
Negara museum. It was reported to be in poor condition. The edges of the work had become brittle,
and the varnish had given the painting a greenish tinge.

Owing to the amount of damage the painting had sustained and its historical value, in 2012 the
Goethe-Institut and Arsari Djojohadikusumo Foundation arranged for The Arrest of Pangeran
Diponegoro to be restored by conservator Susanne Erhards of the Köln Group. This began with a
cleaning shortly before the work was displayed in the National Gallery of Indonesia, followed by an
analysis of the composition of the varnish (allowing it to be removed). The work was then given a
string lining on the canvas, then reframed. Finally, damage to the paint was touched up with
watercolors, and a new layer of varnish was applied.

#Terjemahan Bahasa Indonesianya

Perang Diponegoro

Diponegoro (1785–1855), seorang keturunan Sultan Yogyakarta, dilewati beberapa kali untuk naik
tahta. Pada tahun 1825, setelah menyatakan dirinya Ratu Adil dan musuh-musuhnya kafir karena
praktik Islam mereka yang lemah, ia memulai perang melawan sultan yang berkuasa dan pemerintah
kolonial Belanda. Dalam perjuangan lima tahun berikutnya, yang dilakukan di sebagian besar Jawa
Tengah, lebih dari 200.000 tentara Jawa dan 15.000 tentara Belanda terbunuh. Pada tanggal 28
Maret 1830, dengan sebagian besar pemimpin gerilyawan lainnya ditangkap, Diponegoro diundang
untuk datang ke rumah Letnan Jenderal De Kock di Magelang untuk menegosiasikan penghentian
permusuhan dan menjamin keamanan perjalanan. Di sana, setelah tiga jam, Diponegoro ditangkap.
Dia diasingkan ke Makassar, Sulawesi, di mana dia tinggal sampai kematiannya.

Penggambaran Saleh bukan satu-satunya versi yang dilukis tentang penangkapan Diponegoro. Versi
sebelumnya, Pengajuan Pangeran Dipo Negoro ke Jenderal De Kock, telah selesai c. 1835 oleh
Nicolaas Pieneman atas perintah De Kock atau keluarganya. Alih-alih seorang pria yang marah dan
menantang, Pieneman menghadirkan Diponegoro yang tunduk dan dipukuli, berdiri lebih rendah
dari penculiknya dan dengan demikian secara simbolis kurang memiliki kekuatan. Secara
keseluruhan, lukisan Pieneman memberi kesan bahwa, meskipun De Kock bertindak tegas dalam
mengasingkan Diponegoro, itu demi kebaikan orang Jawa. Penulis Susie Protschky menggambarkan
karya Pieneman dan Saleh sebagai "dua lukisan sejarah paling terkenal dari Hindia".

Saleh kembali ke Jawa pada tahun 1851 setelah lama belajar di Eropa, di mana ia mengklaim
memiliki hubungan keluarga dengan gerilya dan memprotes perlakuannya di tangan pemerintah
kolonial Belanda. Diponegoro meninggal pada tahun 1855, yang menurut sejarawan seni Werner
Krauss mengilhami sang seniman untuk menyelesaikan Penangkapan Pangeran Diponegoro dan
"merumuskan kembali" penangkapan dalam istilah Jawa, daripada istilah kolonial Pieneman.
Meskipun Saleh belum pernah bertemu sang pangeran, dan telah belajar di Eropa ketika Diponegoro
ditangkap, keluarganya telah berjuang untuk Diponegoro.

Sketsa Saleh untuk lukisan itu (1856)

Lukisan Pieneman sudah dikenal oleh Saleh, dan dia mungkin sudah mengenal artis itu juga. Saleh
juga kemungkinan terinspirasi oleh pelukis sejarah, khususnya Louis Gallait; Krauss menemukan
kesamaan antara Gallait's The Abdication of Charles V dan penggambaran Saleh tentang
penangkapan Diponegoro. Penggunaan warna oleh seniman mengingatkan kita pada karya-karya
alam oleh Horace Vernet dan Eugène Delacroix, keduanya dikenal oleh Saleh, dan pose De Kock
tampaknya dipengaruhi oleh lukisan-lukisan Renaisans Italia.

Pekerjaan telah dimulai pada 1856, ketika Saleh meminta izin untuk melakukan perjalanan ke
berbagai situs yang terkait dengan Perang Jawa, tetapi ditolak. Sketsa awal diselesaikan akhir tahun
itu; Saleh sebelumnya mengunjungi sepupu di Magelang, tempat Diponegoro ditangkap, dan karena
itu mengetahui daerah dan lingkungannya. Dalam persiapannya, Saleh membuat salah satu
proyeknya yang paling ambisius, dengan lebih dari empat puluh orang dalam bingkai. Krauss
menyatakan bahwa Penangkapan Pangeran Diponegoro adalah lukisan Asia Tenggara pertama
dalam genre lukisan sejarah, dan yang pertama oleh seniman Asia Tenggara yang menggambarkan
sebuah peristiwa dari daerah tersebut.

Lukisan yang selesai diserahkan kepada Raja William III dari Belanda. Saleh mengatakan bahwa itu
adalah "tanda terima kasih" untuk pemerintah Belanda membayar pendidikannya di Eropa selama
hampir dua puluh tiga tahun. [9] Setelah beberapa tahun di Istana di Den Haag, Penangkapan
Pangeran Diponegoro digantung di Bronbeek, rumah bagi veteran Militer Kolonial Kerajaan. Sekitar
awal 1970-an, Penangkapan Pangeran Diponegoro diberi pemulihan, termasuk lapisan pernis baru.
Pada tahun 1978, Yayasan Oranje Nassau mengatur agar pekerjaan dikirim ke pemerintah Indonesia;
ini dilakukan berdasarkan ketentuan Kesepakatan Budaya tahun 1969.

Penangkapan Pangeran Diponegoro awalnya diadakan di Museum Pusat, bersama dengan artefak
lain dari Perang Jawa, sampai awal 1980-an. Pada 2005, lukisan itu disimpan di museum Istana
Negara. Itu dilaporkan dalam kondisi buruk. Tepi-tepi karya telah menjadi rapuh, dan pernis itu
memberi warna kehijauan pada lukisan itu.
Karena banyaknya kerusakan yang lukisan itu pertahankan dan nilai historisnya, pada 2012 Goethe-
Institut dan Arsari Djojohadikusumo Foundation mengatur agar Penangkapan Pangeran Diponegoro
dipulihkan oleh konservator Susanne Erhards dari Grup Köln. Ini dimulai dengan pembersihan sesaat
sebelum karya ditampilkan di Galeri Nasional Indonesia, diikuti dengan analisis komposisi pernis
(yang memungkinkannya untuk dihilangkan). Karya itu kemudian diberi tali pada kanvas, kemudian
dibingkai ulang. Akhirnya, kerusakan cat disentuh dengan cat air, dan lapisan pernis baru diterapkan.

UNIT 2 Descriptive Text

MEMO

Masih tentang pelajaran dasar yang berkaitan dengan kehidupan sehari-hari seperti memo (memo),
menu (menu), schedule (jadwal), dan sign (tanda). Banyak dari itu semua sudah seringkali kita temui
menggunakan bahasa Inggris seperti menu di kafe atau restoran, jadwal keberangkatan di stasiun
kereta hingga tanda-tanda yang kita temui di mal yang juga menggunakan bahasa Inggris. Karena
itulah kenapa materi ini dipelajari karena akan sangat banyak manfaatnya untuk kehidupan sehari-
hari.

A. MEMO

1. Pengertian Memo

Memo adalah singkatan dari memorandum yang merupakan pesan ringkas, yakni pesan yang ditulis
seseorang dengan singkat, jelas, dan mudah dipahami. Dalam penggunaannya, memo ada yang
bersifat resmi dan bersifat pribadi (tidak resmi). Memo bersifat resmi dipakai sebagai surat
pernyataan dalam hubungan resmi dari seorang pimpinan kepada bawahannya. Memo bersifat
pribadi dipakai sebagai nota atau surat pernyataan tidak resmi antar teman, saudara, atau orang lain
yang memiliki hubungan akrab.

2. Fungsi Memo

Memo dibuat untuk berbagai tujuan, yaitu:

Memberikan informasi atau topik tertentu

Mengkomunikasikan tentang perubahan

Memperkenalkan ide baru

Menkonfirmasi hasil pembicaraan atau persetujuan

Meminta informasi atau tindakan

3. Jenis Memo

1. Memo yang bersifat resmi | Memo yang bersifat resmi ini biasanya digunakkan olah pimpinan
sebuah instansi atau perusahaan kepada bawahannya atau sebaliknya.
2. Memo yang bersifat tidak resmi (pribadi) | Memo yang bersifat tidak resmi ini biasanya digunakan
sebagai nota atau surat tidak resmi antar teman atau kerabat. Memo jenis ini biasanya ditulis antar
teman dengan tujuan menyampaikan pesan yang bersifat hubungan pribadi antar teman atau antar
personal yang mempunyai hubungan dekat.

4. Perbedaan antara Memo, Surat Bisnis dan Pengumuman

Kerap kali memo disamakan dengan surat bisnis atau pengumuman. Lalu apa yang membedakan?
Simaklah perbedaan yang menjadi ciri dari memo.

Memo adalah surat khusus yang dibuat untuk keperluan khusus didalam sebuah instansi atau
perusahaan. Tidak seperti pengumuman yang merupakan konsumsi publik yang ditujukan untuk
masyarakat luas dan bersifat berbuka, memo digunakan secara internal dalam suatu organisasi dan
bersifat informal, oleh karena itu seringkali diumumkan seperti pengumuman karena ditujukan
untuk banyak orang yang tidak mungkin dikirimkan satu-persatu kepada pekerja seperti surat bisnis.

Merupakan sebuah bentuk komunikasi berupa arahan, saran, atau penjelasan mengenai suatu hal.

Mempunyai bagian bentuk surat yang lebih singkat (kurang dari setengah halaman) dibandingkan
dengan surat resmi lainnya.

Disebabkan oleh penggunannya yang terbatas memo selalu mencantumkan nama instansi atau
perusahaan diatas kepala memo

5. Struktur Memo

KD 3.10 Degree of Comparison

A.Pengertian Degree of Comparison

Secara definisi, degree of comparison dapat diartikan sebagai bentuk perbandingan kata sifat
(adjective) atau kata keterangan (adverb).

Hal yang dibandingkan bisa sama antara satu dengan yang lain atau lebih.

Perbandingan menggunakan degree of comparison hanya dapat digunakan untuk kata sifat dan kata
keterangan.

Kata kerja (verb) dan kata benda (noun) tidak dapat dipakai untuk perbandingan.

B.Jenis Degree of Comparison

Tingkat perbandingan dalam bahasa Inggris terbagi menjadi tiga jenis, yaitu positif, comparative dan
superlative.

Masing-masing jenis mempunyai fungsi dan tujuan yang berbeda, berikut penjelasannya:

1. Positive degree

Positive degree bisa dimaknai sebagai tingkat perbandingan netral. Tingkat ini digunakan untuk
menyatakan bahwa benda yang dibandingkan berada pada level yang sama, misalnya sama besar,
sama pandai, sama cepat, dan lain-lain.
Degree of comparison yang satu ini ditandai dengan penggunaan kata ‘as’ dan diikuti oleh kata sifat
atau kata keterangan tanpa perubahan apapun.

My brother is as smart as me.

His car is as impressive as mine.

Contoh tersebut menunjukkan bahwa saudara saya sama pintarnya dengan saya. Dengan kata lain,
keduanya berada pada level yang sama.

Sedangkan contoh kedua menunjukkan bahwa kedua mobil sama-sama mengesankan.

2. Comparative degree

Jenis perbandingan yang selanjutnya adalah comparative degree. Pada tingkatan ini, orang atau
benda yang dibandingkan berada pada level yang berbeda.

Ketika dibandingkan, seseorang atau suatu benda mempunyai sifat yang lebih daripada yang lain.

Untuk menyatakan comparative degree, digunakan kata sifat + er atau more + kata sifat dan diikuti
oleh ‘than’. Simak contoh di bawah ini.

Donna is taller than Jenny.

Stephan is more diligent than James.

Contoh pertama menyatakan bahwa Donna lebih tinggi daripada Jenny, sedangkan contoh kedua
menunjukkan bahwa Stephan lebih rajin daripada James. Dengan kata lain, subyek yang
dibandingkan berada pada level berbeda.

3. Superlative degree

Superlative degree merupakan tingkat perbandingan di mana seseorang atau suatu benda tidak
mempunyai pembanding karena memiliki level paling tinggi.

Misalnya saja paling kaya, paling cepat, paling cantik dan seterusnya.
Superlative degree dinyatakan dengan kata ‘the’ dan diikuti oleh kata sifat + est atau most + kata
sifat. Perhatikan contoh berikut ini.

She is the most beautiful girl in her class.

Team A is the fastest among its rivals.

Kedua contoh tersebut menggambarkan bahwa sesuatu tidak mempunyai tandingan. Kalimat
pertama menunjukkan bahwa seorang gadis adalah yang tercantik di kelasnya.

Sedangkan kalimat kedua menunjukkan bahwa tim A merupakan tim tercepat di antara lawan-
lawannya.

Catatan:

Terdapat beberapa kata sifat yang tidak bisa menggunakan –er pada comparative atau –est pada
superlative. Kata sifat tersebut antara lain:

1. Good à better à best

2. Bad à worse à worst
3. Far à further à furthest
4. Much à more à most
5. Little à less à least

Baca juga Preposition.

Help memiliki arti "bantuan", jadi jika digabungkan offering help adalah menawarkan bantuan
kepada orang lain dengan sukarela.

Sedangkan fungsi dari offering help ini dalam kehidupan sehari-hari adalah membangun hubungan
interpersonal kita dengan orang lain, karena dengan menawarkan bantuan kepada orang lain kita
menunjukan sikap peduli kepada orang lain.

Cara Menawarkan Bantuan "Offering Help" dengan Contoh Kalimatnya

Cara yang pertama adalah dengan menggunakan bentuk interrogative atau kalimat tanya. Dengan
cara ini kita nisa menanyakan apa yang bisa kita bantu untuk orang lain. Berikut adalah bentuk-
bentuknya;

 Kata "May" merupakan cara yang formal untuk menanyakan atau menawarkan bantuan.

ketika kita tidak yakin dengan jawaban yang akan diterima atas bantuan yang kalian
