comparing it with others of its kind or through an analog with a non–art object or

biasanya dengan membandingkan dengan karya lain yang sejenis atau melalui analogi
obyek yang bukan karya seni.)
Interpretive Recount : summarize the plot and/or providers an account of how the
reviewed rendition of the work came into being.(meringkas alur cerita "jika mereview
buku" bagaimana cara penyampaian karya tersebut).
Evaluation : provides an evaluation of the work and/or its performance or
production; is usually recursive.(memberikan sebuah evaluari karya ataupun

16. Review text of a book
Boomerang
Boomerang is a book about Michael Lewis’ “Travels in the New Third World.” Having previous
authored The Blind Side, Moneyball, The Big Short and other books that sell in the millions, Lewis
turns his attention to the economic plight of the whole world. He travels through Iceland, Ireland,
Greece and Germany, to see how these countries have suffered by borrowing endlessly and frittering
away countless trillions. At the end the joke is on America as he heads back to the U.S.A. and shows
how this is where the problem began and this is where the problem will take deepest root. The book
moves at a quick pace and is full of dark humor. It’s also a little bit crude at times, and especially so
in Germany, so do be warned.
Here is an example of the book’s dark humor: “As it turned out, what the Greeks wanted to do,
once the lights went out and they were alone in the dark with a pile of borrowed money, was to turn
their government into a pinata stuffed with fantastic sums and give as many citizens as possible a
whack at it.” If you read his chapter on Greece, you’ll see that this was exactly the case.
If you want to know how the world got the way it is and if you want to understand the
consequences of a worldwide feeding frenzy on cheap credit, you might be interested in reading
Boomerang.

The Smartest Parrot
Once upon time, a man had a wonderful parrot. There was no other parrot like it. The
parrot could say every word, except one word. The parrot would not say the name of the
place where it was born. The name of the place was Catano.
The man felt excited having the smartest parrot but he could not understand why the
parrot would not say Catano. The man tried to teach the bird to say Catano however the bird
kept not saying the word.
At the first, the man was very nice to the bird but then he got very angry. “You stupid
bird!” pointed the man to the parrot. “Why can’t you say the word? Say Catano! Or I will
kill you” the man said angrily. Although he tried hard to teach, the parrot would not say it.
Then the man got so angry and shouted to the bird over and over; “Say Catano or I’ll kill
you”. The bird kept not to say the word of Catano.

23. One day, after he had been trying so many times to make the bird say Catano, the man
really got very angry. He could not bear it. He picked the parrot and threw it into the
chicken house. There were four old chickens for next dinner “You are as stupid as the
chickens. Just stay with them” Said the man angrily. Then he continued to humble; “You
know, I will cut the chicken for my meal. Next it will be your turn, I will eat you too, stupid
parrot”. After that he left the chicken house.
The next day, the man came back to the chicken house. He opened the door and was
very surprised. He could not believe what he saw at the chicken house. There were three
death chickens on the floor. At the moment, the parrot was standing proudly and screaming
at the last old chicken; “Say Catano or I’ll kill you”.

24. Review text of a movie
Titanic
I went into Titanic with trepidation: it is being hailed as one of the best love stories
depicted on film. Cynical as I am, I don't think much of movies with a romantic theme to them.
However, I was curious to see the spectacle that director James Cameron had created. Fortunately
for me, Titanic is not only great in terms of action, effects, and visuals, but also provides excellent
commentary on the issue of the class struggle.
Jack Dawson (Leonardo Di Caprio) is a young boy who wins passage to America aboard
the Titanic in a lucky game of poker (upon boarding the ship, Jack tells to his friend that they are
"the luckiest sons of bitches in the world"). Rose DeWitt Bukater (Kate Winslet) is travelling to
America, to be married to Cal Hockley (Billy Zane), a situation she is not thrilled about. Sparks fly
when Dawson manages to talk Rose out of jumping overboard, but tragedy awaits as the unsinkable
ship hits and iceberg and begins to flounder.
In the movie, this story is presented to the audience as a flashback. The narrator is Rose,
101 years old, with the last name Dawson. She tells the story to a treasure hunter (Bill Paxton), who
is looking for the famous (and valuable) Heart of the Ocean, a diamond that was given to Rose by
her fiance, Hockley.

25. The recreation of the ship, both the exterior (the rendering for which was done using Digital
Alpha processors running Linux) and the interior are impeccable. The dialogue is witty and brilliant. The
movie is slow at times, but reaches its climax when the ship begins to sink. The fact that Cameron takes
his time in telling the story makes it all the more tense. Cameron could've skimped in any of these areas
(dialogue, cinematography, effects, authenticity) and still come out with a great movie, but he doesn't. He
sticks to the formula that has worked in other great epic movies, and he pulls it off one hundred percent.
The ship was thought to be unsinkable, and so a compromise was made on the number of
lifeboats aboard. When the ship did sink, it is the richest that got first priority on the lifeboats. While they
waited in half-full lifeboats, they were exposed to the cries of people freezing to their deaths and didn't do
a thing to help them. If a similar tragedy were to happen today, would the result be any different?
The acting is excellent by all concerned, but I was most impressed by Zane. The nice thing about
a ship sinking is that it is a relatively slow event, and Cameron takes every advantage of it. The depiction
of the mighty ship going under is so much larger than life and I feel this is the most magnificent part of
the movie. Just for that reason alone, Titanic is a movie not just to be seen, but to be experienced. So
make sure you see it on the big screen. It goes to show that the concept of the disaster movie is far from
dead.

GOLDEN EGGS
Long time ago a remote village, in central China was inhabited mainly with farmers and
hunters. One day, a poor farmer lost his entire livestock to flood. He prayed hard to God for
help or his family would die of starvation.
Few days later, an old man with long grey beard, passed by his house took pity on him. He
gave him a goose and said “ I don’t have any expensive thing to give you and hope this goose
will help you to ease your hardship.”
A week later to almost surprise the farmer found and egg in his yard. This was no ordinary
egg. It was a golden egg. He was suddenly overcome with joy.
Thereafter, his livelihood had rapidly improved but the farmer had forgotten his earlier
hardship. He became lazy, arrogant and spendthrift.
Strangely, the goose only laid one golden egg every six months. The greedy farmer lost his
patient and slaughtered his goose thinking there were plenty of golden eggs inside its stomach.
Though he very much regretted for his foolishness, it’s already too late.

29. Review text of a book
In the Plex
Perhaps the most notable book of 2011 is Walter Isaacson’s biography of Apple’s founder Steve Jobs.
In a case of interesting timing, Steven Levy has written what is essentially a biography of Google, a
company that has sometimes been an ally of Apple and sometimes a nemesis; today it is both. Levy traces
the origins of the company through its founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin. Those two men found a way
of doing something no one else had quite been able to master: making billions of dollars through online
advertising. The near-endless streams of revenue generated by advertising has since allowed them to pursue
innovation in other fields—email, social media, mobile communications and on and on.
Like Steve Jobs, Page and Brin are very complex characters whose motives are difficult to understand.
Their careers have been marked with great successes and some very public failures. Yet for good or for ill,
and at times for both, they have truly changed the world. Not only do they continue to strive to make all of
the world’s information available to all of us all of the time, but they have also changed the way we access
it and understand it. This is a book to read if you want to understand the massive impact Google has made
on me and you and all of us. You’ll be amazed to learn just how far it extends into your life.
