To Kill a Mockingbird
By Harper Lee
Warner Books
Reviewed by Rodman Phillbrick

I’ve never been to Alabama, but novelist Harper Lee made me feel as if I had been there in the long, hot
summer of 1935, when a lawyer named Atticus Finch decided to defend an innocent black man accused
of a horrible crime. The story of how the whole town reacted to the trial is told by the lawyer’s daughter,
Scout, who remembers exactly what it was like to be eight years old in 1935, in Maycomb, Alabama.

Scout is the reason i loved this book, because her voice rings so clear and true. Not only does she make
me see the things she sees, she makes me feel the things she feels. There’s a lot more going on than
just the trial, and Scout tells you all about it.

A man called Boo Radley lives next door. Very few people have ever seen Boo, and Scout and her
friends have a lot fun telling scary stories about him. The mystery about Boo Radley is just one of the
reasons you want to keep turning the pages to find out what happens in To Kill a Mockingbird.

To Kill a Mockingbird is filled with interesting characters like Dill, and Scout makes them all seem just as
real as the people in your own hometown. Here’s how Scout describes Miss Caroline, who wore a red
striped dress:”She looked and smelled like a peppermint drop.”

The large theme of the story is about racial intolerance, but Scout never tries to make it a”lesson,” it’s
simply part of the world she describes. That’s why To Kill a Mockingbird rings true, and why it all seems
so real.

Even though the story took place many years ago, you get the idea that parts of it could happen today, in
any town where people distrust and fear each other’s different.

‘Laskar Pelangi’: The Audacity of Hope

This is a movie adapted from a best-selling Indonesian novel. It took 40 days of filming on Belitung
Island, Bangka-Belitung province. Involving 12 local actors, it reportedly cost Rp8 billion. With all the
efforts of transforming Laskar Pelangi (Rainbow Warrior) into a moving picture, will it satisfy readers’
imaginations?
Laskar Pelangi, the novel, was written by Andrea Hirata in 2005, based on his own experiences. It is
about an inspiring teacher and her 10 students in the poverty-stricken Kampung Gantong in Belitung.
The poor condition of their school building does not dampen their high spirits and hopes for a better
future.
Two years later, the novel became a phenomenon in Indonesia literature. With its humanistic touch,
Laskar Pelangi has sold more than 500,000 copies and has won the position of Must-Read Novel in
every corner of the nation’s bookshops and media review pages. It has finally overcome the domination
of teen-lit, chick-lit and even religious novels, the popular theme of today.
Andrea entrusted the filming of the story to the respected figures in the film industry, Mira Lesmana and
Riza, as producer and film director. In July 2007, Mira and Riri started the per-production, which took a
year to finish. Together with the scriptwriter Salman Aristo they decided to create a different scenario for
the film.
4. What is the main idea of the second paragraph?
A. ‘Laskar Pelangi’ is the story of poor people at the Bangka Belitung province
B. ‘Laskar Pelangi’ is the story of poor school children of the Belitung Island
C. ‘Laskar Pelangi’ is about poverty in Kampung Gantong in Bangka Belitung
D. ‘Laskar Pelangi’ is about an inspiring story towards a better life
E. ‘Laskar Pelangi’ is about Andrea Hirata

5. From the text above, we know that ....

A. The movie was played by poor children
B. Andrea Hirata is the producer of Laskar Pelangi
C. The novel of Laskar Pelangi as a phenomenal work of literature
D. People like the movie better than the novel

Should performance enhancing drugs be accepted in sports?

The issue of using drugs to enhance athlete’s performance is controversial. Those who agree to the use
of drugs in enhancing performance say that most top players in all sports take drugs to train harder and
feel no pain during play. The trainers, sports doctors, nutritionists, physiotherapists, and managers of the
big names make sure banned substances are taken at the safest and most efficient levels. The main
effect of banning such substances has turned performers and their coaches into liars and cheaters.
On the other hand, some still believe that performance enhancing drugs in sport should be banned.
Performance enhancing drugs are not only prohibited because they violate the spirit of sport but because
they can damage the health of athletes.
I think the idea of allowing them in sports could lead to a situation whereby sportsmen and women are
used as human guinea pigs for a constant flow of new, unregulated substances.
6. What argument is given by those who disagree with the use of performance enhancing drugs?
A. Athletes health is badly affected
B. Guinea pigs are awfully needed
C. Athletes consume more drugs
D. Athletes obey the rules
E. Athletes perform better

7. According to the proponents of performance enhancing drugs, the effect of banning them is that
performers become ....
A. Losers
B. Winners
C. Cheaters
D. Hooligans
E. Supporters

8. What is the writer’s intention to write the text?

A. To persuade readers to agree with the issue
B. To influence readers to oppose the issue
C. To describe performance enhancing drugs
D. To entertain readers with the issue
E. To expose readers with the issue

9. How does the writer feel about the performance enhancing drugs?
A. Neutral
B. Positive
C. Negative
D. Indefinite
E. Pessimistic

Should students take part-time jobs?

One of the biggest things a student must figure out upon entering school is what to do with all
that time. Free to schedule as they please and free from the obligations of life at home, students find
themselves with a wealth of time they may or may not have.
There are things which you might consider working. First of all, if you want to be cool and go out
with your classmates and buy some cool stuff, well you need money! By getting a job, you get money. Of
course, you have to work for it, but still, it can - and probably will - be useful. There is not only money to
consider though. Experience is an important asset for after finishing your school. When you work during
your school year and add it to your resume, it will show your future employers that you are able to
manage to pursue two activities at the same time, or more if you are involved elsewhere. Another

Penilaian Akhir Semester ( PAS ) Mapel / / Kelas / TP. 2020/ 2021 3

interesting thing to consider is the contacts you might make by working. By contacts, I mean people that
can be useful to you later in life. If you have different jobs, you make new references you can later add to
your CV along with the experience. Also, if you are lucky enough to get a job in your area of studies, it
may later become a permanent job.
The main disadvantage on your life is that you will have less time for schoolwork – and social life
of course. This also means you get less free time to just hang out or party or do other stuff than work and
study. This is an important part of your life if you do not want to go all crazy! It is also important if you
want to be cool. Having a job can also add another source of stress to your life. Depending on the type
of job you are looking for, you may get a boss that always wants more hours and presses you to be more
available. One of the things you can do is to set yourself a maximum number of hours you want to work
per week and make this clear with your employer at the beginning of the year.
My biggest recommendation is not to rush into anything. It’s perfectly acceptable to spend the
first few weeks of school adjusting and having fun, and then slide a job into the mix when you’ve grown
comfortable with everything else. Finally, never allow an outside job to get in the way of your health and
school years in general. While work may keep you motivated and get you needed money, it’s not worth
losing your education or well being over. Obtain what you need, but if you feel yourself slipping take
some time off, or find a better place to work. You’ll have plenty of time to work post school.

10. Which of the followings is NOT the advantage of taking part-time jobs?
A. You will get money which you can use to buy some cool stuff.
B. You will have less time for schoolwork.
C. You will gain working experience.
D. You will expand your contacts and networking.

complete fraud and fake adding this to the list of books I’ve read this year! But I did nevertheless
read it! So it’s going to be added.

Maybe one day when I’ve forgotten how bad this book was and just how trashy, I’ll read a few more
in the series! But seriously guys I wouldn’t recommend it!
