“Krakatoa, the Last Days”, a Reflection of Learning to Nature


Have you ever got any signs of nature? Do you think that nature gives message about something? Yeah, nature will say something by its phenomena. Well, I watched a movie about it.

Title : Krakatoa the Last Day

The characters:
1. Rogier verbieek
2. Williem Beyerink
3. Johanna Beyerink
4. Schuit’s Family
5. J.H. Lindeman
6. Tokaya, clerk

This movie tells about Mount Krakatau that exploded in August, 1883 in Pesisir Pantai Ketimbang, Java. Before that explosion, there was a story about a geology scientist of Dutch who became the witness of this big disaster it.

Actually, these signs have been felt by the wife of a Dutch colonist leader, namely Williem Beyerink. Johanna, his wife, felt that there will be something wrong happen in the mount some months before. She was really afraid of small earthquakes happened, but the biggest anxiety was the strange events occurred around her environment. It can be the birds that left their nests; there were no hens that produce eggs; and the cows that cannot eat well as commonly. Those were told to his husband, but he seems never took care of it. He looks just interested in his big business and his money.

Let’s move to the scientist, he lived 100 miles away of the mount. He has ever seen and known a little information of volcano’s activity of Krakatoa from Schuit’s family. He still thinks that the mount is not too dangerous so far. Furthermore, he and his friend, Schuurman, knew more about the mount. His friend told about what happened in the past with the Krakatoa and relates it with what will happen later. She predicted that may be there will be a big explosion of Krakatoa. Later, he regretted his late thinking for analyzing the big mystery. He underestimated the story of local society.

On the other hand, the leader of colonist had a clerk who was loyal to him, is called Tokaya. That servant believed in what his leader’s wife statement, but he tried to ignore it. At night, there was wayang golek performance, which told about the Krakatoa’s explosion happened before. Then, the monster came a day after it. It began with an earthquake when Williem and his servant were in the market near to the beach. There was a big tsunami after it. Fortunately, his family saved. Then, when the water decreased, they moved to the hills. They arrived after one day, and they took a rest in a hunt for some minutes. Immediately, there was a sound like thunder arose and it was followed by a dark black fog. However, they can save their life, but they lost a baby.

So, I get the moral value of this movie. It is a long journey for knowing that we have to learn and understand the nature. You should never ignore it and deny the truth of people who you look in lower status than you. Even you look them as uneducated people, poor people, or whatever. Still, you should believe what wife’s feeling which sometimes has strong feeling. Let’s learn from nature.

I hope you will want to wacth this movie.

WHO AM I

I think I’m a person who is easygoing for the other people. Sometimes, I’m a person who is egotistical person. Exactly, I’m a person who is sociable, because I’m a person who is talkative with people. I also can be called as a person who is modest. However, if someone doesn’t know who am I , she or he will say that I’m a person who is seriously. The other hand, my appearance shows me that I’m a person who is religious. I’m also a person who is reliable because my friends believe me for talking about their privacy or their secret. Besides that, I’m a person who is sensitive for talking about my sick. The unique one is I’m a person who is brave because I am never shy to stand in front of many people. Then, I’m a person who is childish. It’s happen because I can’t control my thinking to always need the loves n take care of old people. The last one, when I had a problem at that time, I’m a person who is happy when I can make the other people be happy. So, I hope I’m a person who always can be accepted for other people and they feel comfortable with me.

How have you been? We last saw each other at our high school graduation, right? What have you done since then? I started college since three months ago. I do not really like my class, so far. Many of them have made some small groups. It’s not safe for me because I’m alone and I can’t communicate well. Because of that, I try to adapt with them. However, there’s something which makes me happy. I have been on my diving team since three months ago. We had met three times and we learnt how to use the tools and so on. It is interesting.
I have many activities, first I visited hinterland people in a forest last week. You know what? I have been in a social organization which held that event. I love it so much. My other activity on weekend is visiting my grandmother. Her house is not too far from my rented house, so I can go there anytime I want. I also enjoy my weekend by cooking for my friends. You won’t believe that I cook for 23 people. Amazing, right? Why do not you come here to try my new recipe? It is going to be so cool.
I am waiting for your reply, Ocen my friend.
Lovely
Azi







Dear Azi,
I am doing well, Azi. I hope you so. I got surprise reading your letter. You cook for 23 people? Unbelievable! Actually I want to try your new recipe.
About my new college, it is just the same with you. I started it three months ago, and I love it. You told me that you have taken diving team. Do you want to know about me? I have taken them climbing team this month. It is cool.
Recently, I participated a singing contest and thank God I won it, and the happier thing was I got the Beatles legend’s CD as the prize beside I got some money.
Gym is one of the places that I get used to go every weekend with my friends, and it is the best thing for me because I lose my weight four ponds.
I will tell you the rest when we meet. What about having vacation together next semester days off?

Best Friend Forever
Ocen

I’m Azi, an English department student at State University of Padang. I set up my great future and happy life. I have made some great plans which I try to start from this first semester. First, I’d like to practice the knowledge that I get in the Intensive Course, such as speaking English to all my friends, everywhere, every time because our habit influentsour life to success. Second, I make a target when I am in my fifth semester; I will get a job as a private English teacher. After having the experience as a private teacher and after I graduate from the college, I will have my own school that I establise for the drops-out students, with my own by being a private teacher. I also will learn Japanese and Arabic because they are interesting language. Then, I’d like to visit many countries such as Arab, Korea, and Japan. I also want to learn their culture and the history of their unique places. I’m so curious about them. Being an entrepreneur will be my other job in the future besides being a teacher. The last, I will spend my time with my cute children and my lovely husband.

GOD AND BARBER
After I listened to “ResonansiJiwa”, I got a conclusion that we have to believe our God. He always take care us and God is everywhere. We know the existence from what God has been created. So, we must thanks to our God for what we have. That’s exist for our goodness. Even, after we have all everything and thanks to God, but God still gives us numerous treatment.

LIVE IS A CHOICE
Live is a choice and the choice that I choose must be better than before. Studying English is my choice. That it is one of ways to get a good future, and I must be consistent and study hard to learn it. Whatever problems that will happened to me, I have to be positive thinking. So, keep spirit on this way.


A BROKEN JAR
The ‘ResonansiJiwa’ aware my self. I get a conclusion that I have many weaknesses.Actually,speaking English, looking of vocabulary, doing conversation, writing a paragraph are my weaknesses. It is caused lack of practicing them. I have to explore these weaknesses to get better. How can I do it? Hmm, making an effort to cover these weaknesses so that it is my way to be a best person. I must try and try. Eventhough, I often get something that make me be lazy. However later, I will face it wisely.
