7.       Summary

The novel work of Andrea Hirata with a thick book of 529 pages contains a very interesting story. The story in this Novel is the true story of an author in pursuit of her dream to the French State. This lively story touted to be used as a very interesting Film by renowned Director Mira Lesmana and Riri Riza. This novel is able to make the reader feel like drifting and carried into the story inside. Andrea Hirata is someone who likes to dream in the run of her life. However,  her dream would try to become a reality. In the Novel she’s more telling about her past in Belitung. So the story in this Novel is  same as the original place of the occurrence of the incident. The language style of Andrea Hirata is considered good style and very interesting, in it besides using Indonesian Language also use Malay language which makes the reader look a little confusion and having to guess what the intent of the language. However, in every sense of the Malay language used there is always the lowest in the sentence, so after reading the sense of the language we can digest the Malay language was once again a little less understandable. There is a Groove in the Novel is a mix of Groove, but the more dominant plot forward.The author uses a first person perspective, because the author is a flagship store in this story. So that‘s the story for readers curious so would like to finish reading it. The novel contains many useful mandate for its readers. Andrea Hirata teaches us not to despair,in advance if they wish to achieve the desired dream. The way the author describes a character  in the story is different in a way commonly used by other Authors. The main character of the story is named Curls he was a tough boy, clever, brave, and want to learn for the sake of a dream that like to manifested. The character of latitude is a very smart boy, genius, daring, but because of the situation that makes him dropping out of school. Figure Mahar was a smart boy singing, intelligent, and like against it things unseen (mystery), Bu Mus is a woman who is very good, wise, and a well loved teacher, and many others. Story in Laskar Pelangi begins from the life of a boy named Curls who started the school with have to wait ten children who want to attend school, in school the curls. With anxious Curls, Sahara, Trapani, Leek, Mahar, latitude, Borek, A kiong, Bu Mus,pak Harfan, and the parents waiting if there is one more person who would like to attend school in the primary Muhamaddiyah if not up to ten children, then they will not beable to attend school. Because, SD Muhamaddiyah will finish it. They wait for such a long time finally a man witty was fifteen years old and somewhat retarded mentality saved his friend’s also ninth elementary school Muhamaddiyah. Curls and his friend is very happy, finally they can attend school in the primary Muhamaddiyah to achieve the dreams and ideals of condolences with his friend in Belitung. The interesting thing about this Novel is able to resurrect us not to despair if easy, wanted to achieve a dream. Taught us so well against a fellow friend and want to help each other. In the novel, Andrea Hirata slipped a clever questions that continue to be implied, from the beginning of the story until the end of the story there is a meaning in Malay language and how to read it. However, with all its beauty and advantages, this Novel makes it readers got a little trouble because of the Malay language, the phrase and figuratively in the sentence makes this story a little bit feels hard. However, this story remains alluring and filled with the message payload can be contemplated and translated with deeper.
