Raden Ajeng Kartini was born on 21 April 1879 in Jepara. She was a leading feminist of women emancipation in Indonesia. Her father was an assistant for the district chief of the city. Her first dream was becoming like her mother, working hard for others. She went to a Dutch school but when she was 12 years old her father prohibited her from continuing her studies because of the tradition - a noble girl was not allowed to have a higher education, they had to be secluded. Ibu Kartini was very concerned because of education in Indonesia especially for women. Because of her concerns, she found a school only for women in Indonesia. She sometimes discussed the issues together with a Dutch couple, the Ovinks. They were amazed with Kartini's fluency in Dutch. Kartini had a book to read from Mrs. Ovink and started to correspond with people in the Netherlands. In her letter to her pen friends, Kartini always discussed feminist matters and revealed her dream of equality between men and women

  Madame Loisel was a pretty girl born into a poor family. She had no expectations  and she felt so trapped by her situation that she married a little clerk in a government office. Her tastes were simple because she had never been able to  afford any other, but she was as unhappy as though she had married beneath her  status; for women have no caste or class, their beauty, grace, and charm serving  them for birth or family. She suffered endlessly, feeling herself born for every delicacy and luxury. She suffered from the poorness of her house, from its bare  walls, worn chairs, and ugly curtains. Madame Loisel adalah seorang gadis cantik yang dilahirkan dalam keluarga miskin. Dia tidak mempunyai harapan dan merasakan terperangkap oleh situasi bahwa dia menikah dengan karyawan kecil kantor pemerintahan. Seleranya sederhana karena dia tidak pernah dapat mengusahakan yang lain, akan tetapi dia tidak sekan karena dia telah menikahi dibawah statusnya; bagi perempuan tidak mempunyai kasta ata

  Assalamualaikum wr wb, To Mr. President Joko Widodo Now, Indonesia is being hit by the Covid-19 pandemic. It has been 1 year we have lived in together with fear. Sometimes I think, why is this pandemic in Indonesia not over yet? Is it because the people do not care, or because the government is not responsive in handling this problem? I don't know, this is all very sad. I have dreams and hopes that Indonesia will be free from this pandemic in the near future, and maybe it is a dream for all of us. Therefore, I hope that President Joko Widodo will provide regulations that are expected to reduce this pandemic. And I also hope that these rules can be implemented properly by all of us. And that is a little speech from me. Without diminishing my respect, I say thank you. Wassalamualaikum wr wb

  Bullying cases among children have become more prevalent recently. Bullying can involve a variety of behaviors, such as hitting, making rude movements, bad calls, insults and also gossip about something or someone. If this is allowed to drag on, there will be other psychological problems at a later date for these children, both those who are bullies or those who are bullied.

Bully is physical or mental violence in which one or more people attack or intimidate another person.

There once was a fisherman who lived with his wife in a small hut close by the seaside. The fisherman used to go fishing every day. One day, as he sat in his boat with his rod, looking at the sparkling waves and watching his line, all of a sudden his float was dragged away deep into the water. He quickly started to reel in his line and managed to pull out a huge fish. " Wow! This will feed us for days ." Much to his surprise, the fish started to talk and said, " Pray, let me live! I am not a real fish; I am an enchanted prince. Put me in the water again, and let me go! Have mercy o kind fisherman ." The astonished fisherman quickly threw him back, exclaiming, " I don\"t want to hurt a talking fish! Go on!
