Using a single first-person
pronounce or use a preface, because in novels the author uses the word "me" LANGUAGE STYLE
Here I do not know the style of language,
because there are words that are difficult to understand or we can understand. This is due to adjusting the language based on the place that was notified, namely in Bangka Belitong, an area that has not yet spread the language. Setting Place: at school, under trees, in caves, and at home. Atmosphere: fun, sad, and tense. Time: afternoon, evening and night. novel's excellence A. ORGANIZATION
In this novel in terms of
organization, the relationship between one part and another is harmonious and can arouse the curiosity of the reader. Because in the storytelling the content of the novel is not complicated. B. CONTENTS We can know the meaning of the struggle to live in entangled poverty and courageous ideals in the story of the main character of this book, Ikal, will lead us with a kind of grace and charm so that we can look inside ourselves with hope, so that we reject all our own hopelessness and helplessness. Overall I think this novel is good and constructive. This Laskar Pelangi novel is also full of wisdom, da'wah, and a very strong sense of friendship. His speech is fluid, touching, enlightening, amusing, aiming at the center of consciousness, and far from being patronizing.
C. LANGUAGE
The language used is not complicated,
even though there are words that we don't know the meaning of and which we can't understand, because the story adapts to the Belitong area. VALUE NOVELS We can learn that the way of life we live, we must continue to be grateful. We can know the meaning of the struggle to live in poverty that entangles high ideals. Basically poverty does not correlate/interact directly with criticism or genius. There are so many lessons that we can learn from the novel, such as religion, morals, a beautiful first love, the tenacity of life, and even the meaning of a destiny that we cannot predict. In addition, we can imitate figures that can be imitated such as human figures who are simple, honest, sincere, persistent, full of dedication, tenacity, patience, trustworthiness, piety, and so on. NOVEL’S EXCELLENCE
The superiority of this novel lies in the humanities
sentiment about the importance of school education and at the same time the strength of religious morals. This novel is a must-read for the younger generation who are lulled by the ease of economics and no longer know how to work hard to reach the future. This novel is also a must read for educators, for the government who always neglects the importance of education. The fruits of this negligence are, now we are a nation that is often ridiculed by other nations, because we are diligent in producing people who have no quality.
WEAKNESSES OF NOVELS In my opinion, the weakness of this novel lies in the way the story ends. This novel should have been closed in chapter 33: Anarkonisme, which tells about the downfall of Babel (Bangka Belitung) who used to be in turmoil with Timah. Chapter 34: Gothic, I think is part of the confusing story. Because the speaker of "I" suddenly becomes someone else, and is no longer Ikal. Chapter 34 is in vain. Like a painter who has to stop applying paint to a painting that is already perfect, but then becomes messy because of unnecessary scratches.
