<b><span style="background-color: white; color: #212121;"><i><span style="font-family: inherit;">Sekilas Riwayat Pemberian Judul Kumpulan Surat Kartini: Habis Gelap Terbitlah Terang</span></i></span></b><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: inherit;">Kadang terlintas pertanyaan mengapa judul kumpulan surat Kartini dinamai begitu? Mengapa "Habis Gelap Terbitlah Terang"?</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: inherit;"> </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #212121;">Merujuk pada sejarahnya, seperti yang diungkapkan oleh Aguk Irawan dalam bukunya "Kartini: Kisah yang Tersembunyi" (2016) </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #212121;">bahwa judul "Habis Gelap Terbitlah Terang" merupakan hasil terjemahan Armijn Pane dari Bahasa Belanda "Door Duisternis tot Licht" yang sebenarnya bukan bermakna demikian melainkan memiliki makna "dari kegelapan kepada cahaya" (Irawan, 2006). </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #212121;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #212121;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #212121;">Bahwa juga menurut Irawan (2006) fakta demikian diatas dapat dikaitkan dengan pemahaman mengenai rasa kagum Kartini terhadap surat-surat di Al-Quran walaupun hal tersebut masihlah begitu gamang untuk disimpulkan. Pasalnya, frasa "dari kegelapan kepada cahaya" terdapat dalam surat Al-Baqarah ayat 257 yang dalam bahasa arab berbunyi "minazh zhulumati ilan nur".</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #212121;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #212121;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #212121;">Namun terlepas dari pelbagai tafsir diatas, hal yang justru menarik perhatian saya adalah fakta dimana judul kumpulan surat Kartini tersebut bukanlah murni berasal dari suara Kartini seorang. Judul tersebut diberikan oleh Nyonya Abendanon yang diambil dari salah satu syair yang dikutip Kartini yaitu "Habis malam terbitlah terang". Judul tersebutlah yang kemudian menginspirasi Pane dalam menerjemahkan "Door Duisternis tot Licht" menjadi "Habis Gelap Terbitlah Terang". </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #212121;"><br /></span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #212121; font-family: inherit;">Jikalau dilihat dari kejauhan, tanpa didasari teori atau fakta sejarah apapun serta-merta saya seperti bisa memahami korelasinya walau hanya menyentuh bagian permukaan saja. Judul tersebut seperti nyata kuat menggambarkan harapan Kartini terhadap gerakan maju kaum perempuan Jawa, perempuan bumiputera yang khususnya hidup di masa mendatang setelah masa sang raden adjeng usai. Judul tersebut begitu tegap mewakili harapan Kartini akan perubahan besar bagi kaum perempuan Indonesia seperti jelas terukir di salah satu suratnya kepada Stella Zeehandelaar tahun 1901:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /><br style="background-color: white;" /><span style="background-color: white;"><i>"Akan datang juga kiranya keadaan baru dalam dunia Bumiputra; kalau bukan oleh karena kami, tentu oleh karena orang lain; kemerdekaan perempuan telah terbayang-bayang di udara- sudah ditakdirkan<b style="color: #666666;">."</b></i></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><i><br style="background-color: white; color: #212121;" /></i><br style="background-color: white; color: #212121;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #212121;">Kartini meyakini dan mengharapkan itu, kemerdekaan perempuan di masa mendatang. Masa yang tidak dapat diketahui kapan namun tentulah panjang, tak lekang oleh waktu. Masa-masa dimana nama Kartini mungkin hanya akan menjadi simbol atau perangkat halus pengingat semangat emansipasi yang pernah begitu bergejolak di masa lalu. Gejolak, harapan, dan keyakinan Kartini tersebutlah yang kemudian menurut saya dapat pula layak dijadikan alasan dalam pemahaman subjektif mengenai latar belakang pemilihan judul kumpulan surat Kartini yaitu "Habis Gelap Terbitlah Terang". </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #212121;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #212121;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #212121;">Namun kembali lagi, pengertian saya diatas hanyalah penafsiran subjektif yang bergerak dari bentuk-bentuk pengalaman saja. Sangat boleh dipastikan bahwa setiap bentuk memiliki kelemahannya tersendiri. </span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
“Selamat pagi Bu Atwin, ini Bab 1 saya setelah diperbaiki
dan direview lagi. Makasih bu, <i>hope this
one is better </i><span style="font-family: Wingdings; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span>”
(dikirim pada 5 Juni 2014).<i> </i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Kutipan tersebut tak hanya merupakan sebuah kalimat yang
senantiasa saya kirimkan kepada ibu Aquarini Priyatna selaku pembimbing utama
dalam penulisan skripsi, namun juga sebuah kalimat yang menandai proses
pembelajaran mengenai menulis dengan hati dan kaitannya dengan tanggung jawab. Saya
ingat betul ketika kali pertama saya bimbingan dengan Bu Atwin di hari Senin,
beliau berkata bahwa 45 menit yang kami gunakan ketika itu terbuang sia-sia
disebabkan oleh cara menulis saya yang begitu sulit dimengerti dan penulisan
dalam Bahasa Indonesia yang juga buruk. Saya terkejut.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Di hari Kamis, saya bimbingan lagi dengan Bu Atwin di kantor
beliau. Giliran pertama adalah Kak Nita, lalu Kak Fania yang sukses mendapatkan
pujian dari Bu Atwin atas tulisannya. Lalu majulah saya yang ketika itu yakin
bahwa tulisan saya juga tak kalah baik dari tulisan mereka berdua. Namun yang
kemudian terjadi di ruangan itu adalah tulisan saya yang justru merakit mesin
penenun hujan untuk kedua mata saya. Bu Atwin masih menolak, beliau berkata
bahwa tak ada perbaikan yang signifikan. Saya panik. Saya harus kembali ke
kursi tunggu, lalu berusaha kembali lagi ke Bu Atwin, namun ketika menghadap
beliau, tak tahu mengapa koneksi internet buruk, lalu saya pasrah dan kemudian pipi saya
basah. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Lucu memang jika diingat saya sampai menangis. Ketika itu
saya menyadari betapa gawatnya situasi saya yang apabila menulis tidak dapat
langsung menyentuh inti, tidak benar menggunakan tanda baca, dan tidak tepat
menggunakan berbagai macam kata. Terlebih lagi baru Bab 1. Saya menyadari
kebodohan tersebut dengan tangisan, namun kemudian Bu Atwin mengatakan sesuatu
yang pada akhirnya memberikan perubahan besar bagi pola pikir saya mengenai
menulis. Saya ingat beliau berkata bahwa menulis bukanlah ajang pamer. Beliau
juga berkata bahwa menulislah dengan jujur sehingga makna tulisan dapat sampai
kepada siapapun yang membacanya. Saya harus menulis dengan hati.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Mulai saat itu, saya berusaha lebih keras. Usaha saya di Bab
1 belum selesai karena harus menempuh proses kurang lebih 5 kali bolak-balik ke Bu Atwin. Namun pada tanggal 14 Agustus kemarin akhirnya saya berhasil mendapatkan nilai A untuk skripsi
saya dan janji yang pernah saya ucapkan untuk bisa sedikit meringankan beban Bu Atwin pun terpenuhi.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ibu Aquarini Priyatna, saya benar mensyukuri
segala dukungan dan nasihat ibu, terutama ketika peristiwa menangis itu. Peristiwa
itulah yang membuat saya sadar bahwa saya masih begitu egois dalam menulis.
Terimakasih untuk selalu menginspirasi. <i>Much
love for you bu</i> <span style="font-family: Wingdings; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span>.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Namun tak berhenti disini, </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
saya juga ingin menyampaikan pesan
rahasia ke Pak Ari Jogaiswara bahwa saya bangga dengan tulisan saya. Saya bahagia
bisa membuat tulisan mengenai George Eliot sebagaimana rekomendasi bapak ketika
<i>oral test Critical Theory</i> berlangsung.
Saya bahagia karena Pak Ari lah yang pertama kali membimbing menulis
skripsi sekitar 6 bulan lalu. Saya bahagia karena bulan April lalu Pak Ari mengetik
nama saya berada di urutan pertama untuk maju pada SUJS. Saya mengucapkan
terimakasih banyak kepada bapak dengan harapan bahwa Pak Ari tidak akan
bertanya “kenapa?”. <i>Thank you sir for
always being that amazing</i>.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Lalu untuk Pak Taufiq Hanafi, terimakasih banyak untuk
nasihat dan masukan dari bapak agar saya lebih berhati-hati lagi ketika membahas
posisi perempuan dalam novel. Terimakasih banyak telah membuat saya memikirkan
lagi arti kata representasi yang senantiasa saya gunakan dalam skripsi saya. Terimakasih
telah menunggu saya dan Ira selama dua juta tahun lamanya untuk bimbingan ketika
itu. Terimakasih untuk sidang kemarin. Saya bahagia bisa dibimbing Pak Taufiq karena membuat banyak
mahasiswi iri khusunya angkatan 2011 (<i>this one is not serious</i>). <i>Thank
you </i>Pak Taufiq. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p><br /></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p>Begitu juga untuk Pak Sandya Maulana dan Ibu Linda Rachman yang telah menguji dan turut memberikan nilai kepada skripsi saya. Saya ingat betul ketika sidang ada satu pertanyaan tentang perbedaan metode dan metodelogi penelitian dari Bu Linda yang kemudian Pak Sandya bantu arahkan kepada saya. <i>Thank you. </i> </o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p><br /></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p>Dan terakhir, selamat untuk teman-teman yang juga berhasil menempuh Sidang Skripsi dan terimakasih juga dukungan dan bantuannya selama ini! </o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Purgatory
</span></i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">(1953)
is a play written by William Butler Yeats which only consists of two male
characters in the story, Boy and his father, Old Man. The two characters are
set outside from an old house which is actually the house where the young Old
Man stabbed his own father using the knife he uses to cut food and to kill the
Boy. Purgatory presents the different treatment of representing the class
distinction not only in economy but also in gender. Boy is represented
inhabiting the lower economic place while the Old Man is on the higher place.
Boy is also represented only as <i>Purgatory</i>’s
hearer while Old Man is as its speaker. Boy is placed by the play as
subordinate to Old Man as if woman to man. It represents <i>Purgatory</i>’s another treatment of class-distinct body not only in
economy but also in gender. The representation is gathered in two ways, first
is done by <i>Purgatory</i>’s process of projection
of images, and second, by <i>Purgatory</i>’s
properties of stage. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Old Man’s head which is operated as the
play’s images projector signifies his power of control. It can be seen on the
play that Old Man’s voices dominate the whole plot. The story goes as well as
Old Man speaks about his own story. He projects his whole body and soul not
only to <i>Purgatory</i>’s audiences but
also to <i>Purgatory</i>’s entire theatrical
sphere (to the house, tree, and windows) which I argue as one of the aspects of
discriminating “the silent Boy” as <i>Purgatory</i>’s
lower body. It is Old Man who projects his voice to Boy who can only follow and
even absorbs the voices, as writes Breen (1989) “talking and seeing, not
listening, determine the father's (Old Man) relation to his son (Boy)” (51). It
is indeed that Boy is also given the voices too in speaking but not for showing
his independence and existence, but rather to speak for echoing the image which
is projected by Old Man. In replying to Old Man’s image projection to Boy about
“…come to sixteen years old my father burned down the house when drunk” (432),
Boy is presented as a mimic of the Old Man in the same term of “almost the same
but not quite” (Bhabha 1949). Boy tries to be the same as the Old Man by
replying “but that is my age, sixteen years old,” (ibid) which signifies that
the way <i>Purgatory</i> projecting its
images supplies Old Man’s autonomy power in <i>Purgatory.
</i><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Boy who plays the role only as an Old
Man’s dark side reflection also represents how <i>Purgatory</i> deal with the class distinction. Old Man holds a power in
projecting his father’s image to Boy by assuming that Boy will be the same as
his father if he gives him the money (434). This scene of Boy’s failures in
taking Old Man’s bundle of money represents Old Man’s economical power and Boy
is economical-weakness. The situation which presents Old Man as economically
powerful is also symbolized more thoroughly by the appearance of property
belong to Old Man, “Grand clothes and maybe a grand horse to ride” (432).</span>
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Boy
as the subordinate body which is presented entirely not having any kind of
property, not appreciated in speaking his equal economy privilege but only to
lose and still following Old Man’s muttering, identifies that Boy is placed in
a lower economy class than Old Man by the way <i>Purgatory</i> projecting its image to Boy and audiences only through
Old Man.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Old Man asks the Boy to ‘study that
house’, ‘study that tree’, and ‘look at the window’ without answering Boy
communicatively represents that Old Man does not hear or even see Boy equally
with him. Boy is only presented to hear the Old Man and Old Man is presented to
come in a monologue (not communicating with anyone beside himself) implies Purgatory’s
significance in representing Boy as an image of female which produced by the
male’s point of view, as Breen writes; <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">In
a play which focuses simultaneously on the inextricability of male from female
identity and the irreconcilability of upper- and lower-class voices, language
does not exist so much between characters as within the ear of each (1989: 51).
<br />
<!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--><br />
<!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Purgatory
represents its specific treatment of class-distinct body not only through its
image projection but also through the stage and actor’s properties. The knife
is to symbolize the Old Man’s both economical and sexual power over the Boy.
Knife is also economical because it represents the situation of man owning
property like what I argue before. Boy is designed as an object to Old Man
since he is presented to follow all of the Old Man’s passions and to have
nothing at all even his own privilege in controlling himself are one of the <i>Purgatory</i>’s elements of the subjectivity
of Old Man over-controlling the Boy’s body and soul through a symbol of knife.
Knife is economical when it extends Old Man’s mental and physical strength to
control the body and soul of the weaker who owns nothing, the Boy Boy’s but it
is also sexual when knife is used to kill Boy’s body and soul which is
presented as a place of Old Man to project his sexual desire to reach an orgasm

in <i>M. Butterfly </i>and <i>Queen’s Garden</i><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Hwang’s <i>M.Butterfly</i> presents its image
projections within two ways, first directly through the voice of the character;<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in; text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">GALLIMARD. … This Chinese diva- this unwilling
Butterfly- what did she do to make her so proud? The room was hot, and full of
smoke. Wrinkled faces, old women, teeth missing – a man with a growth on his
neck, like a human toad. All smiling, pipes falling from their mouths, cracking
nuts between their teeth, a live chicken pecking at my foot-all looking,
screaming, gawking … at her </span></i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">(20).<i><o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Second, the
image which is projected through stage direction which is presented following
character’s part above; <i> <o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in; text-align: justify;">
<i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">(The U.S. area is suddenly hit with a harsh white
light. It has become the stage for the Chinese opera performance. Two dancers
enter, along with Song. Gallimard stands apart, watching. Song glides
gracefully amidst the two dancers. Drums suddenly slam to a halt. Song strikes
a pose, looking straight at Gallimard. Dancers exit. Light change. Pause, then
Song walks right off the stage and straight up to Gallimard.) </span></i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">(20). <i><o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Those two images are
presented separately, and continuously being projected by ‘the head’ of
Gallimard as the projector of the images in <i>M.Butterfly</i>.
Those two distinct images have been projected not only in a separation but also
in a compartmentalization. Each of the projected image’s worlds is not able to
affect another world’s image or even to recognize each other although they both
are literary projected on the same stage. They have been compartmentalized. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Hwang’s
<i>M. Butterfly</i> is in a bit contrast
with Aoki’s <i>The Queen’s Garden </i>in
projecting its images. In <i>Queen’s Garden</i>
the images have not been totally compartmentalized-projected. The projected images
are only separated. One of the projected images is under control by another
one. The images which are constructed as Narrator’s imagination are projected
somehow as similar as how it is done by Gallimard in <i>M.Butterfly</i> which is projected separately into parts by the ‘head’
of narrator but the Narrator in this play also takes another important role in
regulating the drama’s image projection; she (as Brenda, female main character)
has the privilege to regulate the story. Narrator in Aoki’s <i>Queen’s Garden</i> is given a very exclusive
power related to that regulating role<i>.</i>
It is possible for Narrator, if only Aoki let her be, to disturb the world of
another projection outside her (Narrator). It is because she is presented to
recognize everything about the story, because the image is totally constructed
and projected only through her head, through her voice (Narrator’s dialogue) in
the drama. Narrator’s world can be regarded as the first world while the other
part is the second world. The whole play consists of two worlds where the first
world, Narrator’s fantasy and imagination which is presented in the play,
controlling the second world outside Narrator’s. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<i>Purgatory
</i>(1953) is a play written by William Butler Yeats. <i>Purgatory</i> is a drama which only consists of two male characters,
Boy and his father, Old Man. They are set outside from an old house which is
actually the house where the young Old Man stabbed his own father using the
knife he uses to cut food and to kill the Boy. Purgatory represents its
specific treatment of class-distinct body through its dialogues, stage, and
actor’s properties. The knife is to symbolize the Old Man’s both economical and
sexual power over the Boy. It is economical because it represents the situation
of man owning property, a knife which extends Old Man’s mental and physical
strength to control the body and soul of the weaker who owns nothing, the Boy. The
situation which presents Old Man as economically powerful is also symbolized by
the appearance of another poverty belong to him, “Grand clothes and maybe a
grand horse to ride” (432). Old Man’s economical power and Boy is economical-weakness
are presented more thoroughly in the scene of Boy’s failures in taking Old Man’s
bundle of money (434). Old Man is presented to have everything when Boy is
nothing. Boy is designed as an object to Old Man since he is presented to
follow all of the Old Man’s passions and to have nothing at all even his own privilege
in controlling himself. Old Man’s asking Boy to “study that tree” and to ”study
that house” without replying or giving his attention to Boy’s following opinion
are one of the <i>Purgatory</i>’s elements to
represent the subjectivity of Old Man over-controlling the Boy’s body and soul.
Boy’s body and soul is presented as a place of Old Man to project the image of him
as a sinner (he recognizes his error) and even his sexual passion also desire
to reach an orgasm by killing Boy;</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
“My father and my son on the same
jack-knife! That finishes- there- there- there- [He stabs again and again. The

That Old Man kills Boy with passion.
The play presents the character’s tension of a very strong feeling of

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I am happy I was born as the
first children in my family. I am happy to have parents like mom and dad.
I am happy to have one sister who is 2 years younger than me and one brother whose age is almost 17.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">My father is a big man. He got a big body also a big mind. He
is a strong-willed person with big ambitions. But he never knows that in this
world a man could never be so right. The world often beats him down but he tells me to never lose hopes. I love my father though he told me that he
has failed to be a good father for our family. I love him though his words have
placed us in the cruelest trouble of world but my father still could fulfill the time with laughs at when we watch our favorite sports together at
home. My father does not bring my family a good fortune but for me he is that fortune.
He is the father, the pride, my superhero.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">My mother is a strong woman though the tears often rolled
down on her cheeks. She is a good wife and a great mother but she does not see
the world as same as my father. I love her though she says that I am her
wretched girl. I love my mother though
she always denies all my decisions in life but she will ask God in her
day-to-night prays to give her daughter the best way in dealing with the life. My mother is the one that I will never
understand. But I love her. She is my most supporter and I will
always love her with the most love a woman can give. He is my mother and my
angel of the house, my pure love.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">My sister is a good girl. She loves God, the family, her
friends, and local singer. I love her though she is very lazy to help me
cleaning up the dishes but I can be just fine when in the morning she comes and offering me a cup of coffee. I love her though she is easy to make things in
the family to be messier but she’ll love to tell us a fine story which makes
everything easier. I love her though she easily cries on all problems but she will
come as the toughest girl who can help me facing the problem. My sister is not
the sweetest but she is the best friend of mine. My sister is not the nicest
girl but my world will not be the nicest one without her. My sister is the
sister. She is the life, my sunflower, and my happiness.</span><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"> </span><br />

<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">My brother is a hard guy. His dream is to own money. I love him though he is very lazy to wake up every morning to go
to school but he can safely pick me to the bus shelter in a very early Sunday morning.
I love him though he is cruel in never replying me any messages but he will sit
beside me on one evening to teach me the Oasis song and will pleasantly hear my
guitar plays. I love him though he does not pay attention to my advice but he will angry
to the stranger who annoys me on public. I love him though he has weeds on his
pocket and alcohol on his desk but he never treats girl as toy. I love him
though his ignorant of the world is the most part of himself but he will
frequently ask me on the afternoon, “… then, how’s about mom and dad?” My brother
is not the strongest or the weakest. Not the cruelest or the kindest. He is
just the human, a growing up man, a boy, my favorite firelight in the cold snow. </span></span></div>

This is not the final draft, this document is uploaded only to give a brief description about the thesis problem as well as how it was required.<br />
<br />
Draft 1<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">Tokoh anak perempuan
bernama Maggie Tulliver di dalam novel <i>The Mill on The Floss</i> karya
George Eliot dihadirkan sebagai tokoh yang cerdas dan gemar membaca buku.
Maggie lebih mampu berhasil dalam menggunakan imajinasinya daripada melakukan
suatu kegiatan yang melibatkan tubuhnya. Maggie yang cerdas dan gemar membaca
buku memberikan pandangan kepada Maggie untuk mengembangkan dirinya, untuk
memiliki kesempatan yang sama dalam mendapatkan pendidikan, seperti apa yang
laki-laki dapatkan, dipandang sebagai hal yang bukan sepantasnya perempuan
lakukan pada masa itu karena adanya dominasi laki-laki yang begitu kuat
mengatur struktur hidup masyarakat, yang seolah-olah sukses melemahkan
perempuan. Penyajian tersebut akan
mengawali bahasan mengenai keinginan novel dalam membentuk konsep perempuan
baru, perempuan yang ingin keluar dari keterbatasannya, yaitu dengan
menghadirkan tokoh perempuan yang ingin menjadi seperti laki-laki, yaitu dengan
cara meniru. Proses meniru yang dihadirkan novel mengindikasikan adanya
kesadaran perempuan, hasil dari dominasi laki-laki, akan keterbatasan yang
dimiliki perempuan sebagai perempuan itu sendiri, bagaimana konsep tersebut
dihadirkan melalui Maggie Tulliver dalam The Mill on The Floss, dan Dorothea
Brooke dalam Middlemarch. Namun, tokoh perempuan yang dihadirkan meniru
laki-laki, dengan berusaha menjadi sebagai subjek, justru membuat ambivalensi
dalam mendefinisikan konsep perempuan itu sendiri, karena dengan meniru
laki-laki, berarti perempuan telah secara tak utuh juga menjadi laki-laki,
walaupun tidak mungkin bisa didefinisikan sebagai laki-laki karena perempuan
juga tetap perempuan, jadi dengan bentuk meniru ini (perempuan yang menjadi
seperti laki-laki), perempuan secara sadar telah melepaskan label “gender” yang
ia miliki, walupun bukan secara biologis namun secara filosofis, dan
terindikasi bahwa novel memunculkan paham “genderless”, yang apabila dikaitkan
dengan teknik narasi novel, yaitu dimana narrator mahatahu bertindak seperti
laki-laki, dimana narrator memegang “wewenang” penuh terhadap ceritanya dengan
memberi instruksi, persuasi dan regulasi terhadap tiap pemikiran karakter dan
alur cerita yang dinarasikan secara detail. Namun, unsur perasaan dan sensibilitas
yang kuat juga ditekankan oleh pemilihan kata yang dinarasikan oleh narrator, layaknya perempuan. Wewenang narrator yang begitu kuat dalam mengatur cerita, seakan berlaku seperti
<i>God</i>, semakin memperkuat keambivalensian
gender yang dibangun oleh novel, dimana dikutip dari Lynn Alexander yang mengutip
F.W.H. Myers yang menulis mengenai George Eliot, bahwa “She… taking as her text
the three words … <i>God, Immortality, Duty</i>,…
how inconceivable was the <i>first</i>,…” (1988:
152), dimana novel melalui suara narrator mahatahu yang hadir seperti sosok “<i>God”</i> yang “<i>inconceivable”,</i> seperti sosok yang tak terdefinisi dalam apapun, terutama
gender dalam penelitian ini. Ambivalensi gender diperkuat dengan signifikansi tokoh
Silas di dalam <i>Silas Marner</i>, dimana Silas
yang secara biologis adalah laki-laki namun dibangun memiliki konsep seperti perempuan,
dan konsep ini juga tersaji dalam tokoh Phillip di The Mill on The Floss dan juga
Mr. Causabon di Middlemarch. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">Helene Cixous dalam
essaynya The Laugh of The Medusa berbicara mengenai keterbatasan perempuan
dalam mendapatkan pendidikan yang setara dengan laki-laki, terdapat ketika
Cixous menjelaskan permasalahan sosok perempuan yang menulis yaitu sebagai
suatu hal yang menurut lingkungan sosial kala itu, tidak sesuai dilakukan
karena pandangan yang muncul memandang perempuan sebagai sosok yang lemah dan
menulis hanya <i>“reserved for the great-that is, for "great</i></span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">
<i>men"” </i>(1976:
876)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">George Willis Cooke
dalam bukunya <i>George Eliot; A Critical Study of Her Life, Writings and
Philosophy: Theory of The Novel </i>(1884) berbicara tentang suatu konsep
perempuan di dalam dunia sastra ketika ia menjabarkan beberapa point mengenai
pemahamannya dalam mendefinisikan penulis perempuan berdasarkan tinjauan
detailnya terhadap karya- karya George Eliot:</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 23.0pt; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: -.25in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">1.
Penulis perempuan hadir sebagai diri perempuan
yang menulis sebagai perempuan, bukan untuk menulis sebagai laki- laki yang
menulis. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 23.0pt; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: -.25in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">2.
Penulis perempuan hadir sebagai <i>“literary
artist”</i> yang bertujuan <i>“to interpret the feminine side of life”.</i></span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 23.0pt; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: -.25in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">3.
Penulis perempuan hadir sebagai <i>“new element”</i>
dalam menginterpretasikan kehidupan khususnya melalui pengalaman dan cara
pandang perempuan terhadap kehidupan. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 23.0pt; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; text-align: justify; text-indent: -.25in;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">Ketidaksetaraan
kedudukan antara perempuan dan laki-laki banyak disuarakan dalam bentuk
pemikiran yang melawan, juga mendeskontruksi paham mengenai perempuan itu
sendiri. Margareth Fuller dalam tulisannya Woman in the 19<sup>th</sup>
Century, menjabarkan konsep baru mengenai perempuan dimana untuk mendapatkan
kesetaraan, perempuan bukan berarti harus berusaha untuk menjadi seperti
laki-laki, yaitu berusaha untuk mengambil alih subjektivitas serta dominasi
dari tangan laki- laki, namun perempuan hadir sebagai subjek untuk sisi
kehidupan yang bukan “wewenang”
laki-laki, atau sama halnya dengan penjabaran Cooke mengenai perempuan sebagai <i>“new element”</i>, dan pemahaman Fuller
bahwa perempuan adalah <i>“the heart”</i>
dan laki-laki adalah <i>“the head”.</i>
Namun, hal tersebut memunculkan ironi, walaupun perempuan tidak berusaha untuk
masuk ke dalam dunia laki-laki dan seperti memunculkan kesan bahwa perempuan
memiliki dunia sendiri yang ada diluar dunia laki-laki, kehadiran perempuan
sebagai <i>“the heart”</i> atau <i>“new element”</i> justru menghadirkan
pandangan bahwa perempuan juga secara sadar atau tidak memiliki keinginan untuk
menjadi seperti laki-laki, menjadi subjek seperti laki- laki, menjadi sebuah
dominasi seperti laki-laki. Perempuan tidak mendapatkan pengalaman yang sama
dengan laki-laki dalam masa tumbuh kembangnya dan hal ini yang menyebabkan
ketidakmampuan perempuan hadir sebagai subjek dimana menurut Rosseau dalam
penjabaran Mary Wolstencraft bahwa “<i>the
first year of youth should be employed to form the body”</i> (179), dimana
perempuan pada masa kecilnya diajarkan untuk memahami diri mereka sebagai <i>“ornament”,</i> seperti anak perempuan yang
senang bermain boneka dan menganggap diri mereka adalah boneka tersebut, yang
nantinya membangun pemahaman anak perempuan tersebut terhadap diri mereka
sebagai objek (177), dimana apa yang mereka pahami tentang perempuan adalah
perempuan seperti benda yang memiliki kemampuan untuk “mendekorasi” diri mereka
agar terlihat cantik, dimana cantik dipandang, bagi perempuan, sama halnya dengan
kelemahan, karena mereka hadir hanya sebagai objek yang memberi kesenangan
kepada subjek, kepada laki-laki, dimana perlakuan yang perempuan lakukan
tersebut, merupakan hal yang sangat menyenangkan bagi laki-laki (178). <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Rainy day has been capably giving its anxiety to my circumstances, ah yes anxiety, the anxiety for a sense of being lazy, an emotionally thinking, a perfectly irrational minded, or even an unstably reaction in responding those much of particular things, so terrible, aren't they? So sorry if I'm making no sense but come on, it has been too long, bad weather is locked us inside. I do love rain, so effing much, but not the effect of its overloaded amount of water 'planking' on the every roads at the city. I'm getting tired and won't making any complain, but how dreadful it'll, my sympathy belongs to the people who is struggling for their life facing this flood and flood, in every year, ah Jakarta, I can only hope everything will get better very soon.<br />
<br />
Okay, in case of making everything to be brighter, haha, I'll share one moment of happiness with friends, yes my lovely girl-friends. A short story, it has almost exactly 4 years for me and my girl-friends been together in college, but by the way, one of them, Amanda, was just recently graduated from college this week, she finally gets her Bachelor Degree of Arts! Yeay! So envy I maybe have to work very hard to go beyond her haha.<br />
<br />
This was actually, we did a shoot, just to remember our togetherness as friend, to have a lovely photograph get printed then hang it on the wall, but well, I also take some of the photographs of my outfit during the shoot, because I think it'll be good to be posted here on the blog ;)<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">The determination
of literature is always started with a question about its factuality, about how
it is functioned and applied to the human relation, or to the very basic, about
its purest definition as </span>knowledge<span lang="EN-US">, as one of the fields of human study. However, many thinkers, from
the classic theorist to the modernist have been very often giving their voices
speaking over these regulations about literature’s formal authenticity, there
is not even one has successfully made his argumentations up as a foundation
underlying the every thinker’s critical perspectives about literature itself. The
simplest analytical mind is certainly reasonable to be addressed to the old
theorist Plato and Aristotele, as like what Mitchell says in his <i>Representation</i> that both of those literary
theory founding fathers just “regarded literature as simply one form of
representation.” Catherine Belsey makes it clearer by speaking</span> in<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 11.5pt; line-height: 115%;"> <i>Constructing the Subject: Deconstructing the
Text</i></span>,<span lang="EN-US"> if
literature is a form of representation, then what is particular thing which is
represented? She notes “literature represents the myths and imaginary versions
of real social relationships...”, that in literature is just about the idea, the
imagination of human’s reality, as to Althusser literature is “a system of
representation 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 those individuals
to the real relations in which they live”, that literature is consider</span>ed to be more <span lang="EN-US">ideological with only an image as </span>a thing which<span lang="EN-US"> is
represented in it. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">Mitchell goes
further talking about representation and literature, that he says literature is
not just that simple formation of representation of a general thing, or as a “representation
of life” because of, there will always
be an ideology which is consisted, that it is indeed literature ”can never be
completely divorced from political and ideological questions.” That to make a generalization,
as how to make a consideration for “life” to be possibly represented through literature,
is almost very unlikely to occur. Paul de Man has argued why literature will
never work the generalization out, that he says in his</span><span lang="EN-US"> </span><i><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 11.5pt; line-height: 115%;">Resistance to Theory</span></i><span lang="EN-US">,
because literature is not a theory, it owns the normative principles which are “...cultural
and ideological rather than theoretical.” If literature is a theory, the
generalization may certainty be suitable, but, once it is related to what have theorists
been said before, that literature is basically more ideological because it constitutes
one-self’s ideology, which makes</span> the
understanding of<span lang="EN-US"> literature as a theory</span>,<span lang="EN-US"> is not true. </span><o:p></o:p></div>

of Wilde’s remarkable English playwrights. To be more significant, Oscar
Wilde’s <i>Woman of No Importance</i> (1893)
shows his particular tendency in building the identity through his work of
drama, that, it is hereby viewed by the side of feminist criticism that Wilde truly
makes that men domination in western be visible enough to make a disgraceful
view for woman, as represented in one of its line by the character of Lady
Stutfield, <i>“Ah! The world was made for
men not for woman.”</i> (p.9) In western’s patriarchal culture, woman does not
allowed to do such similar thing as what man can do, because of, the world
is represented not to made for woman. Gilbert
and Gubar’s The Madwoman in the Attic constructs the idea of women’s
incapability to present their selves to society through literature. Women lost
their power of defining their selves as a subject of authority, in this case
when she turned to be a writer or a poet.
“</span><i><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-language: IN;">Thus the "anxiety of influence" that a male
poet experiences is. felt by a female poet as an even
more primary "anxiety of authorship"-a radical fear that she
cannot create, that because she can never become a "precursor" the
act of writing will isolate or destroy</span></i><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-language: IN;">. “Literature</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;"> in a history of
western was never authorized to a ‘second sex’ – by</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-language: IN;"> what Mitchell calls <i>"the inferiorized and 'alternative' (second sex) psychology of women
under patriarchy."</i>, </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">and the literature itself
was a very male-dominated. The power of men in the western literature had
erased woman’s equality in writing as what Cixous’s <i>“writing is at once too high,
too great for you, it's reserved for the great-that is, for "great
men"</i><b> , </b>that
woman loses her right to be equally viewed as great as men in writing. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">However Wilde’s <i>Woman
of No Importance</i> has also been so
differ about this kind of view that if writing has been so absolutely regarded
as man’s signature manners, then why in such one of this 19th century’s western
remarkable play, there is still a given-part to an idea of woman who writes
down the letters in a piece of paper like what the character of Mrs. Arbuthnot
does very gracefully under her consciousness, <i>“She...</i></span><i><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">Writes
a beautiful hand, too, so large, so firm.”</span></i><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">
The play insists that this Idea of woman who does a handwritten-text shall be
viewed as a very clear representation that writing is particularly done as not only
an absolute matter of man’s masculinity but that <i>“...beautiful hand...so large, so firm”</i> is somehow responsible to
be viewed as a woman’s textual form of femininity also. In Wilde’s <i>Woman of No Importance</i>, the argumentation
grows up more arguable related to what old critics have pointed out about the
relation between man’s superior power in western’s literature and their claim
of writting as an absolute masculinity, that there is lied an irony represented
through, <i>“What a curious handwriting! It
reminds me of the handwriting of a woman I used to know years ago” </i>(p.20),
that if writing is inappropriate to woman then how is that possible to define
an inappropriate thing is fascinatingly able to reform the identity of oneself
only by her handwriting? <i><o:p></o:p></i></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">The
difference class of sexuality, woman as what is quoted as ‘second sex’, loses
the acclaim value of being the authentic writer for her authentic work referred
to the dominant authority of male. However it gives a different perception here
to Oscar Wilde, who have been popularly known as one of the most remarkable
London’s playwrights that most of his works are done by holding that a value of
femininity, represents the idea of a woman in that era of 19th century.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">The
literary authority has never been addressed to the female sex, as critics Gibert
and Gubart give the idea of how impossible it is, <i>“the woman writer substitutes what we have called an "anxiety of
authorship," an anxiety</i></span><i><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-ansi-language: IN;"> </span></i><i><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">built
from complex and often only barely conscious fears of that authority which seems
to the female Ilrtist .to . be by definition· inappropriate., to her sex.”</span></i><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">
It indicates that to act as a writer or to write something, woman seemed to
have been mistaken herself as a woman, referring to what is inappropriate to
her. However, a representation against this view is appeared again by Oscar
Wilde in one of his nowadays-regarded masterpiece play, <i>The Importance of being Ernest</i> (</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-ansi-language: IN;">1895</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">),
the character of Cecily is built as an young, admirable, fully educated girl
who at her 18th ages she is so powerfully appeared to be a character of a girl
who writes a diary about her everyday life. The diary is necessary used as a
symbol by Wilde to represent the idea that woman has a condition of doing a
right thing to have an act of writing; <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;"> An inappropriate manner to woman is in the
19th century, when she is likely be bounded with a creativity that to write one
must have a creativity, that woman having a creativity is regarded to make her
way out from woman’s nature, she is asked to be as pure as an “angel”, or if
not she will be tragically regarded as “active monster” by what Gibert &
Gubar notes, <i>“It is debilitating to be any woman in a society where women
are warned that if they do not behave like angels they must be monsters.”</i></span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 9.0pt; line-height: 200%;">
</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;">However this inequality is contrastingly represented
in a very different view that in Wilde’s <i>The
Importance of being Ernest</i>, the character of Cecily is ideally treated very
well by her society, that to commit in writing a diary does not bring her into
the “illness”, that the idea of her as an upper class woman who writes is even
more extended to be more admirable, that to the character of Algernon, a young
and wealthy man, Cecily is;<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;"> <i>“... the

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;"> It is perhaps that Cecily ‘s characterization
has constructed another point of view of men-woman’s masculine-feminine, that writing
is not that whole performance only addressed to a man, not also be permanently
considered as a total form of masculinity, but there is also the idea that woman
has been fundamentally built to be likely committing herself for a dishonor
manner while she writes, as feminist Helene Cixous on her most influential work
<i>The Laugh of the Medusa </i>(1976), had
been sexually analogized writing is equally as shameful as masturbating to
woman, <i>“...Because you punished yourself for writing, because you didn't go all the
way; or because you wrote, irresistibly, as when we would masturbate in secret..</i>.” and this idea is also bounded to the
character of Cecily that she does write, indeed, but her power is symbolized in
a form of diary which at society, diary is generally known as “secret”, a very
personal account, a secret not to get known by another person;<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">that she makes her power to be hidden, and this is
responsible to be related to the idea which is noted before, the idea that
writing is <i>“it's "silly."</i><b>
</b>However if writing is as similar as
“silly”, why do woman still need to do thing which has been called “silly”? In
her arguments, Cixous had been pointed out so clearly that, “<i>By writing herself, woman will return to the
body.” </i> She needs, as a living
creature, to own her power, that, for instance, not to write means not to own a
power and be selfless. Not writing is defined that woman does not belong to her
body, which to Judith Butler the body is, <i>“a
set of boundaries, individual, and social, politically signified and
maintained”(Gender Trouble – 1990),</i> because her body has been taken by the
“great” and if not writing, woman would not experiencing to live in her “real”
existence as a woman.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">However, if woman needs to write to speak up her
voices for taking back her existence again over the man, it is bounded with a
question of how is it possible to be as simple as that while the action of
writing itself has never been addressed to woman? It reminds our memory back to
what Gibert & Gubar argued about the 18th-19th century woman’s <i>“anxiety of authorship”</i> in defining the
idea of woman as a writer, that there is none of a person who deserves the
title of author/writer but only to the man, as if there is woman who writes,
her action will be defined as an imitation, to imitates a man, to be as what is
shown by</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 200%;"> Homi
Bhabha on his <i>Of Mimicry and Man,</i>
that woman is, “<i>almost the same, but not
quite” </i>with the man whose power is a
dominant power of the society, since the very past time of western’s literature
history. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Gilbert
and Gubar’s The Madwoman in the Attic constructs the idea of women’s
incapability to present their selves to society through literature. Women lost
their power of defining their selves as a subject of authority, in this case
when she turned to be a writer or a poet.
“</span><i><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-language: IN;">Thus the "anxiety of influence" that a male
poet experiences is. felt by a female poet as an even
more primary "anxiety of authorship"-a radical fear that she
cannot create, that because she can never become a "precursor" the
act of writing will isolate or destroy</span></i><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-language: IN;">. “Literature</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;"> in a history of
western was never authorized to a ‘second sex’ – by</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-language: IN;"> what Mitchell calls <i>"the inferiorized and 'alternative' (second sex) psychology of
women under patriarchy."</i>, </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">and the
literature itself was a very male-dominated. The power of men in the western
literature had erased woman’s equality as what Cixous’s <i>“writing is at once too high,
too great for you, it's reserved for the great-that is, for "great
men"</i></span><b><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 150%;"> , </span></b><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">that woman loses her right to be equally viewed as great as men in
writing. </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">The difference class of sexuality, woman
as what is quoted as ‘second sex’, loses the acclaim value of being the
authentic writer for her authentic work linked to the dominant authority of
male. The literary authority has never been adressed to the female sex, as
critics Gibert and Gubart give the idea of how impossible it is, <i>“</i></span><i><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">the woman writer substitutes what we have called an "anxiety
of authorship," an anxiety.built from complex and often only barely
conscious fears of that authority which seems to the female Ilrtist .to . be by
definition· inappropriate., to her sex.”</span></i><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;"> It indicates
that to act as a writter or to write something, woman seemed to have been
mistaken herself as a woman, referring to what is inappropriate to her. Woman
has been fundamentally built to be likely committing herself for a dishonor
manner while she writes, as feminist Helene Cixous on her most influential work
<i>The Laugh of the Medusa </i>(1976), had
been sexually analogized writing is equally as shameful as masturbating to
woman, <i>“...</i></span><i><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Because you punished yourself for writing, because you didn't go all the
way; or because you wrote, irresistibly, as when we would masturbate in secret..</span></i><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">.” that writing is <i>“</i></span><i><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">it's
"silly."</span></i><b><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 150%;"> </span></b><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"> However if writing is as similar
as “silly”, why do woman still need to do thing which has been called “silly” ?
In her arguments, Cixous had been pointed out so clearly that, “<i>By writing herself, woman will return to the
body.”</i> She needs, as a living creature, to own her power, that, for
instance, not to write means to own a power and be selfless. Not writing means
that woman does not belong to her body, which to Judith Butler the body is, <i>“a set of boundaries, individual, and
social, politically signified and maintained”( Gender Trouble – 1990 ),</i>
because her body has been taken by the “great” and if not writing, woman would
not experiencing to live in her “real” existence as a woman.<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-bidi-font-weight: bold;">However, if woman needs to write to speak up her
voices for taking back her existence again over the man, it is bounded with a
question of how is it possible to be as simple as that while the action of
writing itself has never been addressed to woman, reminds our memory back to
what Gibert & Gubar argued about the 18th-19th century woman’s <i>“anxiety of authorship”</i> in defining the
idea of woman as a writer, that there is none of a person who deserves the
title of author/writer but only to the man, as if there is woman who writes,
her action will be defined as an imitation, to imitates a man, to be </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">as what is shown by</span><span lang="EN-US"> </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">Homi Bhabha on his <i>Of Mimicry and

Hello,<br />
This is the time for outfit post again, so happy finally :)! A very cool-futuristic hologram clutch I got from <b>Kayi</b>, <a href="http://instagram.com/kayistore" target="_blank">click here</a> to see their collection! and anyway I'd like to say thank you so much because these have been the 2nd time they gave me very gorgeous gifts hehe. Well, for me clutch is always classy, but for the hologram one, it is kinda different. Then, I tried to create a mixing between classic and futuristic, through the whole outfit and the clutch itself. Something classy is always wonderful for me and that's what underlying the idea. So here we go!<br />

Good Morning!<br />
May you all have a happy day at all :)<br />
<br />
Today, I'd like to tell you a very exciting story I experienced on 24th & 25th September in Galeries Lafayette, Pacific Place, Jakarta. What was it? and How was it going? It was actually a pleasureable gathering along with the 20 Indonesian fashion bloggers who had been invited by NYLON and Galeries Lafayette to join the event.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPJT5DgZxrmjO9tBBTG3Lw2ogaq3Spx0Fk1xnhyphenhyphenEwWQbEkmtLLZl4uB2WfYoYU0sCNQWBZfoUPGOMLUuEK-mrW8zSx5eqNLwrGCAINSDc5_BNWqm9SQd0AKe13XbVSacGP3Lo2gwyJ6Mc/s1600/fashion+bloggers+gathering.jpg" /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
But not only a gathering, the event also provided us a very exciting moment when in the 1st day of the event, we had to compete each other first, for a styling competition. The styling competition was separated into 4 groups which every each person in the group had to choose one of the three represented style themes, those are, Smokey Rock, Mixology, and Cocktail Time. I actually did not know how was it going on my mind, when Kak Vera from Galeries Lafayette asked me what kind of style I'd like to represent, and I was just suddenly said that I choosed the Smokey Rock theme, Lol. However, either it is based on my unconcious interest or not, something which is dark and bold are going to be my addiction in these current times. I know that I've just fallen too deep in pastel coloring, and to be something which is out of my range, is sometimes very exciting. Well, unfortunately I was not able to capture a lot of good pictures for the first day because I was very busy choosing the stuffs I need, but Galeries Lafayette is such a very heavenly shopping place where you can choose the beauty and/or fashion products you need, from the luxurious fashion couture till a high-street one.<br />
<br />
The first group (Bethany Putri, Arnold, and me) that I choosed to join with was started the competition in 10 o'clock in the morning, I always prefer to work in morning rather than at any other times, but the traffic killed my time that I just came to the place when there was only a hour left, fyuh. And this is how I style for Smokey Rock, I mostly choosed Zadig & Voltaire from top, shirt, long dress, clucth and accessories, also white blazer from Maje and a pair of leather boots to make it complete.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The 2nd day of the event was held in the evening, and we were required to give a 4 minute presentation about the concept of the style we created. I personally feel nervous and confuse at the same time, because I have to compete all the famous and great fashion blogger, furthermore because this competition was judged by NYLON's fashion and beauty editor, Anindya Devy, Mrs. Sarah Sugandy from Galeries Lafayette, and the editor in chief of NYLON Magz Indonesia was also here! Just like 'wow' but yet exciting! I hoped I can give my best presentation as well.</div>

The BIG thing happened when the time for winner announcement came! I just still can't believe that the judging team took me as the 2nd winner of the competition! GOD, it was really a big surprise and a big present also for me! I just can't thank enough for everything, just thank you and thank you so much for NYLON and Galeries Lafayette! <3 <3. Another 2nd winner is Tara Amelz and the 1st winner is June Paski :D!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But for me, all of the styles are super stylish and it would be very hard for the judges to decide, because all the fashion bloggers were very talented, and that's why I just still can't believe that I won hehe.

<b><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 115%;">Comparing and Responding to the Frequent Relation of an
Unitary Term of Representation and Literature<span style="font-size: small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></b></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36.0pt;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 150%;">Representation and literature have never been
separated into parts and this tradition might have caused the most frequent
topic of problem which still remains unbreakable. If we talk about the role, representation
itself owns a very important role to literature. As it is clear enough till
this day that the question about their relationship has never systematically
been ended. Representation, as an aspect of language, as the most essential
role of understanding literature; may seem too far to be defined to its latest
meaning. Indeed, it might because of representation hold a very great value of
life, like as we formally know that literature had been simply bonded with life
since a very classic era of Plato and Aristotle. <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: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 150%;">As the person who lives under the laws we have
commonly known about our country’s governmental system, we found that we have
been represented by people who we
formally believe they have the ability of representing our self. Then, why we
have to be represented? Why we cannot just present our self? Let me give an invitation for an example in
literature. Gilbert and Gubar’s The Madwoman in the Attic constructs the idea
of women’s incapability to present their sel</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 150%;">ves</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 150%;">
to society. Women lost their power of defining their selves as a subject of
authority, in this case when she turned to be a writer or a poet. “</span><i><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 150%;">Thus the "anxiety of influence" that a male
poet experiences is. felt by a female poet as an even
more primary "anxiety of authorship"-a radical fear that she
cannot create, that because she can never become a "precursor" the
act of writing will isolate or destroy</span></i><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 150%;">. “ </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 150%;">Literature in a history
of western was never authorized to a ‘second sex’ – </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 150%;">by what Mitchell calls <i>"the
inferiorized and 'alternative' (second sex) psychology of women under
patriarchy."</i>, </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 150%;">and the literature
itself was a very male-dominated. It means, to gain the authority, women have
to find a way to establish their ‘own power’ over the men. The condition of
woman seeking an excessive ability in a particular form to gain a power which exist
beyond herself is, I think, a condition of seeking a representative for her presentation.
The same like what we do now, letting someone to be the representative of our
self in the government’s seats, because that someone has a greater value and a
greater strength than ours in controlling the governmental system. The tendency
of letting another person represent ourselves, in fact, we admit that person
owns more ability to be presence than the amount of ability we have. <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: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 150%;">A representation that we have known only as a word </span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 150%;">implicitly </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 150%;">occurs to the surface
as not only just as a word. Refers to its lexical meaning as the ‘process’,
representation itself is supposed to have its own regulations. An understanding
of what Mitchell said in his “Representation” that there is a part of society which
constitutes representation using the ‘invisible rules’, <i>“The formula “let this stand for that to them” is regularly subjected
to restrictions on subject matter (“let this stand for anything but that”) or
on the audience/spectator (“let this stand for that, but not to them”).”</i>
(pg. 15). In a very general way, we might say that representation occurs because
of the social agreement which do exist. An
‘agreement’ which exist without any kind of action for questioning about its
origin, an aesthetic representation which have lived among the society that
somehow we have accepted and agreed to this way. However, no matter how strong
the representation hold an aesthetic value in its own, there will never be such
thing occurs with the way it is only by itself. There must be always a reason
that cause representation to be established. In Plato’s “Ion” we see that the
knowledge for a rhapsode comes from the inspiration about something which is
inspired him. Similarly, a written text was made because of the author has been
given the power of God so he could write words; but that is how we can sum up
to one valid statement that even for a particular thing which sounds very
spiritual and arbiter, there will always be something that cause something to
be true. An agreement of representation also, has been designed by a particular
power and authority which consist of particular persons; If we relate it now
with what had been said in Mitchell’s <i>Representation
“It should be clear that representation, even purely “aesthetic” representation
of fictional persons and events, can never be completely divorced from
political and ideological questions;” </i>(pg. 15). <i> <o:p></o:p></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 150%;"> And,
after all, we may back to the start with a question, if Plato and Aristotle
regarded literature as the representation of life, how can the whole ‘life’ is
simply represented to thing called literature? Let me go further for a moment
to Edward Said’s “Jane Austen and Empire”, here Said described how the signs
and symbols in Austen’s Mansfield Park (1814) constitutes the presentation of
an empire. Through Mansfield Park, the signs and the symbols show the ‘concept’
of empire for Austen in her era, known by what Said says <i>“Austen reveals herself to be assuming the importance of an empire to
the situation at home.”</i> ‘The
situation at home’ which represents ‘the importance of an empire’; must be
consisted of many representational signs. ‘The situation’ itself is likely ‘a
body’ of the signs, just the same like Mitchell’s ‘codes’- <i>“a body of rules for combining and deciphering representational signs”.
</i>The ‘codes’ is, based on Mitchell, the same with Aristotle’s three ways to
differ the elements of representation: object, manner, and means. As for
Mitchell <i>“what I am calling ‘codes’ here
are basically the same thing as Aristotle’s ‘means’”</i>. Aristotle defined
“Means” as the material which is used in representation. Then let me back again
with the problem of how representing life through literature, regarding to the
theory above (Mitchell and Aristotle), then we should consider ‘life’ as an
‘object’ of representation which contributes ‘codes’ to show its ‘concept’ that
will be represented through literature. Then to sum up from the examples above,
representation always took something or someone’s unrealistic form.
Furthermore, the understanding of what is quoted from John Locke may bring us
to one step closer to the definition of representational object , especially in
literature; <i>“word is not a thing, it is
the idea of a man.”</i> In other words,
it is not a real thing which is represented in literature but only its
‘concept’. That is why, even still questionable, Plato and Aristotle could put
literature as the representative of life, similar with Jane Austen ‘s Mansfield
Park and its concept of the empire. </span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 150%;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

So, be a better person after went through the Ramadhan is what we actually wish for, and I hope it won't be just a formal statement instead. I'm deeply hoping that we can meet again in next Ramadhan. After all the things I'd like to say sorry for all my mistakes, and may God will always with us, have a lovely day!</div>

(transcends) any possible knowledge of a human being. Emerson defines in his
essay “The Transcendentalist”, ” The extraordinary profoundness and precision
of that man’s thinking have given vogue to his nomenclature, in Europe and
American to that extent, that whatever belongs to the class of intuitive
thought, is popularly called at the present day Transcendental.” </span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Emerson
gives a credit in his essay to a philosophy Immanuel Kant for defining the transcendentalism
as the power of our mind which constitutes objects for us to experience the
objects in a first place. This philosophy says that there is nothing which just
merely happened. All things were
actually happened because our mind constitutes things to be happened. Refers to
what Kant says, that is the power of “intuitions of mind” that human knows something intuitively so
that everything which have not been happened yet does not mean they are just
totally unknown at all. Those are what Emerson takes as the most American

19th century, both in his essays “The Transcendentalist” and “Nature”, he
speaks his way of thinking about the transcendentalism. Transcendentalist for </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ansi-language: IN;">E</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">merson is the optimistic and independence one, because the
transcendentalist need to build and independent though to constitute things to
be happened. They are also the optimistic because they believe that they will
find everything they are seeking for. Their mind of intuition hold a very great
power of controlling their self and their surroundings which send a suggestion
to those things to make reality of something they think is needed to be true. As Emerson says in his “Nature” (his though as
a transcendentalist), “Undoubtedly we have no questions to ask which are
unanswerable. We must trust the perfection of the creation so far as to believe
that whatever curiosity the order of things has awakened in our minds, the
order of things can satisfy. Every man’s condition is a solution in
hieroglyphic to those inquiries he would put. He acts as life, before he
apprehends it as truth. In like manner, nature is already, in its forms and
tendencies, describing its own design. “ The transcendentalist is able to see
symbols in nature as their power of intuition and translate it through the mind
to get a picture of a fact they can read. <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%;">These
power of intuition for Emerson has influenced the part of history of
America, “yet the tendency to respect
the intuitions, and to give them, at least in our creed, all authority over our
experience, has deeply colored the conversation and poetry of the present day;
and the history of genius and of religion in these times, though impure, and as
yet not incarnated in any powerful individual, will be the history of this
tendency.” It may reflect that Emerson states the intuition of mind which comes
from the past is the mind that constitutes the present condition of
America. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Governments or also known as Civil disobedience, spread the anarchism through
the essay. Anarchism itself means there is no rule, no structure of a
government, and particularly there is no law behind it. Thoreau states that law
is just a barrier for a man, that man will never be free because they can do
what they think right or wrong. If a man supposed to obey the rule of his
government in all the way they live there will be no higher price for every
human. He adds, “</span><span lang="EN-US" style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">Law never made men a whit more just; and, by
means of their respect for it, even the well-disposed are daily made the agents
of injustice</span><span lang="EN-US" style="background: white; color: #404040; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">.”
Thoreau opposes the governmental part which is the law, because he thinks that government
is better to not govern at all to erase the injustice. He says that the
government is not only a little corrupt but instead of the agent of the
corruption. </span><span lang="EN-US" style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">Because of
this, it is "not too soon for honest men to rebel and revolutionize."
The transcendentalism of Thoreau and other transcendentalists (Emerson,
Whitman) have influenced the current literature works of America. There is no
specific explanation about the transcendentalism. It is unlimited to the
literature or any other things. Transcendentalists often rebel and think with a
very different way which makes new ways of writing. In “The United States of
Poetry” we can see the strong figure and character of every poets. They do
poetry just like an expression about what they think they want to say. Many of
them are the protest about the injustice in America; here is where
transcendentalism reflected, as the strong, rebel, independence, the profile of
an American. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">Whitman and Dickinson’s poems are pretty
different with each other. Whitman’s a long, and rambling while Dickinson’s
short and solid give a very deep different meaning to the readers though both
of theirs just speak about the same things like death, life, nature, and God. The way it was told differently reflects their
own philosophy. Whitman as the transcendentalist, shows his mind power over his
poet “Song of Myself”. It feels stronger, lighter, and bolder. The transcendentalism
clearly stated through lines of Whitman’s:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">

<span lang="EN-US" style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">The first line strongly shows the way he thinks
as the transcendentalist. His mind control his self and the nature around him. It
is powerful and independence. Whitman’s poet is far away optimistically seen
than what Dickinson has. Dickinson’s lines feel darker and more abstract. The contrast
between them show the world of Whitman and Dickinson was pretty different.
Dickinson’s seems to welcome death, and shows particularly the figure of woman
based on her. Her “Because I could not
stop for death” reveals a strong emotion which obviously dark and her interest
of the issue of immortality:<o:p></o:p></span></div>

metaphors and personifications are both used in both of their poems. What makes
them so different is, Whitman use his works as the celebration of American life
while Dickinson use hers as the place for dealing with death and dying
expression. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">

conditions of an author give a very great impact to his works, example is The
Glass Menagerie by Tennessee Williams. The life background of Williams, his
dark experience in the past reflected in his work of drama. In The Glass
Menagerie, there is a father who abandoned his family for such a long time that
cause the family feels so much dissatisfaction about life. The absence figure
of the father in this story is the reflection of a reality of author’s past
time. William’s father was the abusive one who spent most of his time away from
home. In his child time William suffered
from the illness of <i>diphtheria</i> that
cause her father hate his physical condition. That is why William’s The Glass
Menagerie often called as his “Memory Play” because it identifies many signs of
dysfunctional family as there is a lost figure of father, the unfair and
unhappy life of a dysfunctional family. The past of Williams effects his works
most of the time. It is a place for him to express an emotional feeling about
his tortured life. <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-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">The absence
figure of father in The Glass Menagerie cause the conflicts over family’s life.
The absence of a father is used as a symbol of an “escaping”. It makes the son
in a family (Tom Wingfield) want to escape from home in night time spending his
hours in movie because his desperation of hating his lost fathers. He said that
he is a “bastard son of a bastard”. Mr. Wingfield play a very important role in
the story because he is used as a symbol that haunts the family every time. The
pictures of him which are hung on every place in the house show that point.
Amanda (the wife) often and always remember his husband that never comes back
and it gives negative effect to the family, because the reminding memory
of a figure of father will build the
desperation more and more. It shows how crucial the father figure is in the
family even when he is gone and not physically presented in story. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

these words similarly in every title of autobiographical writings from Equiano,

This is another recomendation for you who lives in Jakarta, loves the vintage things and have no where to go, do your walks to Kedai Cafe, Kemang. You'll love the foods, the atmosphere and the song lists they play there.

Rain is something that we can feel. It is true and real. It is a symbol and a way of all the favors of earth which come from Him through the skies, but also it is often described as sadness and loneliness. For me rain is something that is obviously able to refresh our earth from all the bad deeds, and that's beautiful I think. Pictures below were taken just about in minutes after rain, one of them was captured by my mom. I am not gonna tell you what's the meaning of the numbers, try to figure it out by your self, and I hope you'll find it interesting.<br />

I love the Beatles, I really love them in 1960's, I love to see John stays like in that year forever. You know The Beatles, which the world called it as a legend. There are too many controversies about them, even If I stand both of with my closed ears and eyes, against the controversy, I still can realize. It is like they come through the wind, covering up your mind. I'm happy that I love Beatles. It is simply because of that. I don't want to be just too curious about their troubles, exploring their businesses and mysteries one by one. It is not because I'm afraid, but knowing their every single troubles won't change any of my attention to them, so that's useless. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'm a fan of Beatles, I can't say if I'm a big fan of them or not, because everything seems to be relative if you just try to explain things like, are you a bigger fan than The Beatles's other fans? what actually "big" means to people? I won't make it clear.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As a fan, I don't put more curiosity of their troubles, it might be confusing and weird, but just like what John Lennon says on the picture below, it is weird not be weird, simple as that. Thank you :)</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">There are always a lot of stories I have on this mind, trying to blow them out here, my dearest place to share. I was lately feeling like I have been underestimated and bothered somehow, by people's way of thinking. Sometimes I'd really like to put their face up, listen to me carefully while I'm saying something like, well you saw me last night was hanging out with my guy friends on the bar, wearing skirt and boots plus doing make up, then you simply would like to state that I'm a </span>skanky<span style="background-color: white;"> </span>yatch<span style="background-color: white;">, that I'm a stupid useless one. Then I just only want to hear what's the way they choose to answer. I'm </span>litteraly<span style="background-color: white;"> sick of people who judge only from our physical appearance, our society should stop that. I'm not the one, there are surely many girls outside, speaking for this, asking what's wrong. Well. I'm not angry, I'm fine with those all. These are not a big thing for me, I'm not trying to change or fix anything, I just want to let people see. </span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You never know what is inside before you try to walk on it, to see from it, to stay with it. There is nothing ever so wrong, nothing so right, we are dealing with this life, spreading the love not the haters. I always know that people are the sweethearts. There are still the magical things happen around me. I wouldn't be amazed, I know that God is always here, give me His stories, beauty within everything. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Yap, I'm sorry if I bother you with this but thank you so much for you all who have spent your time reading this post, I'd give you a very big appreciation. Thank you once again, best regards and love, sugar! ;)</div>

Hello :D<br />
What a great time on my last holiday! I visited my hometown, Palembang on a very limited time that I have, seemed like there is just so little times for so many things. I saw a hectic preparation for SEA Games 2011, also for the city decoration with so many flags from different countries on every side of the streets, or maybe I just saw some athletes who practiced there, very interesting!<br />
but I was just a big disappointed when I lost my lens cover of my camera and still cannot find it, how sad :(<br />
<br />
These are some photos from my very short trip, enjoy :p<br />
