Fungsi Sastra

Dalam masyarakat, karya sastra memiliki beberapa fungsi. Diantaranya:
1. Fungsi rekreatif, yaitu dapat memberikan hiburan yang menyenangkan bagi penikmat atau pembacanya.

2. Fungsi didaktif, yaitu sastra mampu mengarahkan atau mendidik pembacanya karena nilai – nilai yang terkandung di dalamnya.

3. Fungsi estetis, yaitu sastra mampu memberikan keindahan penikmat/pembacanya karena sifat keindahannya.

4. Fungsi moralitas, yaitu sastra mampu memberikan pengetahuan kepada pembaca/penikmatnya sehingga tahu moral yang baik dan buruk, karena sastra yang baik selalu mengandung moral tinggi.

5. Fungsi religius, yaitu sastra pun menghadirkan karya-karya yang mengandung ajaran agama yang dapat diteladani para penikmat/pembaca sastra.

Karya satra yang paling sering saya baca adalah novel dan cerpen bergenre fantasy. Dalam menikmati karya tersebut, fungsi yang paling saya rasakan adalah fungsi rekreatif karna karya tersebut memberi saya efek senang dan terhibur. Kemudian efek didaktif, melalui sifat-sifat dan dialog karakter, saya juga mendapatkan pelajaran nilai budaya (tergantung latar tempat dan latar belakang penulis novel).

Invention of Writing and Earliest Literature [Beginnings to 100 A.D.] Writing was not invented for the purpose of preserving literature; the earliest written documents contain commercial, administrative, political, and legal information, and were created by the first "advanced" civilizations in an area that Westerners commonly call the Middle East. The oldest writing was pictographic, meaning that the sign for an object was written to resemble the object itself; later, hieroglyphic and cuneiform scripts were invented to record more complicated information. Begun in 2700 B.C. and written down about 2000 B.C., the first great heroic narrative of world literature,  Gilgamesh , nearly vanished from memory when it was not translated from cuneiform languages into the new alphabets that replaced them. Though the absence of written signs for vowels can confuse some readers, the consonantal script developed by the Hebrew...

Its May, yay! I was in Jogja that morning, woke up because Ibu turns the TV on and the sound of the water drops from the bathroom. With my glued eyes, i turned right and right my view is an old building, with balcony full of flowers and a lady just done drying her washed clothes. Indahnyaaa.... Long story short, kita akan ke pantai hari ini! To be honest im not that "beach" kind of girl. Pantai itu panas, berpasir, dan bau amis. Tapi tetep aja bikin saya excited! Setelah ketemuan sama pemilik rental mobil, kita akhirnya berangkat juga menuju bagian selatan Jogja ini. Dari Malioboro ke Parangtritis sekitar 2 jam--sebenernya sejam juga bisa tapi karna kita jalannya nyantai ya jadi lama lol. To be honest, pemandangan menuju ke Parangtritis was soo freaking beautiful. Sampai di sana, ternyata sepi. Mungkin memang karna hari itu hari senin dan bukan minggu minggu liburan sekolah. Masuknya sih geratis, yang bayar adalah parkirnya HAHAHAHA Dan saya sarankan untuk bawa mi...

An essay about "plagiarism"

Plagiarism is using someone else’s work, words, production, researches and ideas without the approval or the acknowledgment of the writer or producer, and claiming the credit for themselves. To plagiarize means to steal someone else’s idea or part of work and use it as your own. Brief quotes or use of cited sources do not constitute plagiarism. The original author can bring a lawsuit for appropriation of his/her work against the plagiarist and recover the profits. There are two major kinds of harm plagiarism causes. First, it is something as simple as stealing and lying – you just steal someone else’s work and trick somebody into believing it was you who had written it, which is as immoral as any other kind of theft is. It means that somebody had actually spent time and effort in order to create something, while you did nothing but ripping it off and submitting it. Second, it is a crime you commit against yourself. If you study at an educational institution, there are certain ...
