CONCLUSION

Judging from the meaning and message contained in the novel Sang Pemimpi. There
are so many messages conveyed by Ikal, for example, that life does not go the way we want
without effort and prayer. Ikal's attitude is stubborn and intelligent, but has a high sense of
solidarity and social responsibility towards his employees and friends. The lessons learned
from the novel Sang Pemimpi are to understand yourself, others, and always remember God.
Motivating to be more active in trying and learning, and providing a very good moral effect.

Through the novel Sang Pemimpi, reminds us that all people have the same rights and
others must respect these rights regardless of their status, position, ethnicity, nation, or
gender. The value of cultural education in this case, the novel shows the tradition of those
who use Malay language every day, in addition to many things that explain the habits of Arai
and Ikal's village.
