Veronika Memutuskan Mati

Veronika Memutuskan Mati adalah novel karya Paulo Coelho yang baru saja selesai aku baca. Ini adalah novel dengan tema psikologi pertama yang aku baca. Guru les yang meminjamkan buku ini kepadaku, dan menyuruhku untuk menyampaikan pendapatku setelah membaca buku ini.

Veronika adalah seorang gadis muda, 24 tahun, cantik, berasal dari Ljubljana, Slovenia. Dia memutuskan mati pada tanggal 11 November 1997 dengan menelan pil tidur dosis tinggi. Alasan pertama dia bunuh diri adalah karena dia terlalu bosan dengan rutinitas, hidupnya terlalu monoton. Alasan kedua adalah karena dia merasa dunia ini semakin kacau sementara dia tidak bisa melakukan apa-apa. Lagipula, dia berpikir, If God did exist, tentu Tuhan akan terlebih dahulu mengetahui rencana bunuh dirinya, dan Tuhan pasti tidak akan kaget. Dia juga berpikir, setiap orang akan menjadi tua dan sakit-sakitan, dia tidak ingin merasakan pederitaan itu sehingga dia memutuskan untuk mati muda tanpa mencicipi susahnya menjadi tua.

TREE PLANTING FOR THIS PLANET

There are a lot of environment issues around us, such as increase in population, pollution, global warming, trash, flood, waste, uncertain season, etc. These make many people do a real action to save the environment. One way to save the environment is tree planting. People in the big city who does not have vacant land in their house are suggested to plant flowers in pots, and people in the village who have large land in their house are suggested to plant trees.

THE TERMINAL

A few days ago, I and some friends of Jogja English watched a movie titled The Terminal. The movie was so funny and interesting, I thought that the movie is classified as a drama comedy movie. Sometimes, we cried and laughed together in the middle of the movie because of the dialog in the movie. The Terminal was a movie about a man named Victor Navorsky who trapped in the New York airport because his passport and visa are rejected. His home nation, Krakozhia was in war and revolution, so United States recognized Krakozhia as not a country because it had no government. Mr. Navorsky could not go out from the airport, he could not enter United States and could not come back to Krakozhia, although he wanted go to New York City. Mr. Narvorsky could not speak English; it made him found some difficulties to speak with the airport officers. He got some difficulties to get foods for him because his food voucher given by airport officer is gone. He felt so lonely and did not know what would he do. He returned vacant baggage trolleys to the machine to get money to buy some foods. He trapped in the airport for a long time (almost 9 months) and he started to learn to speak English. He lived in the airport, got some friends and fell in love with a beautiful stewardess there. He got some troubles because the head of the New York airport wanted dissipate him out off the airport.
