buffaloes and used his toe to spread out the straw to

make it easier for the buffaloes to feed

We should learn from this four characters

especially Timah, the main character in the

novel. She always try hard, do not giveup easily and work hard in life.


9/21

PLOTPlot is often designed with a narrative

structure, storyline or story arc, that

includes exposition, rising action and

climax, followed by a falling action and

resolution


10/21

In my opinion, the plot in this story is quite boring.

Because based on the story , I did not see the

events in the story become complicated and there

is not highest point of interest and the turning

point of the story.

Besides, in this story do not mention that whetherTimah has go to the Education Office or not.


11/21

Based on page 75 in the story, Timahs

mother was surprised when Timah want

follow her go to harvest paddy because

Timah already told her that she wanted goto the Education Office . But timah told that

she will drop in tomorrow after visiting the

school where her formerly taught ( Rising

Action)


12/21

Based on page 77 in the story, after helping

her mother, Timah told that she wanted to

go Kahir's orchard but her mother felt

curious that why Timah didnt go to theEducation Office. Timah felt that it is not

urgent. (Climax)


13/21

In this story, author did not further mention

about the Education Office, the place Timah

had decided to go

Finally, Timah boarding the plane going back to

Versity (Resolution)


14/21

THEMEAfter understanding the whole story, I think that

the most suitable theme of this story is

struggle of life

This is because according to the story:

> Timah study extra hard for her final year andwant leave the varsity with a degree. She wanted to

improve her family life


15/21

> Kahir hope that he will get a full certificate and

successful apply for a place at the University of

Agriculture. He wanted to open an agricultural

farm of about a thousand acres

> Timahs motherwork hard to earn money


16/21

SETTING

In my opinion, the main setting in this story is barn

(evening), timahs house (night) and Kahirs

orchard (morning). For example:

Barn (evening)

> He carried a bundle of paddy straw to feed his

buffaloes

> Timah walking on the sawah bands and surprised

when see Adil at there.


17/21

Timahs House (night)

> Timahs mother was busy collecting the rain water

in tin cans

Kahirs Orchard (morning)

> Timah went to Kahirs orchard to help him

watering the watermelon.

> Kahir gave Timah a bundle of tapioca shoots.


18/21

MORALVALUES

In my opinion, as a human we must always help

each other like the story as written:

Timah and her mother help Mak Nik reap paddy

They also help Pak Yusof tap the rubber in rubber

plantation

Timah helps Kahir watering the watermelon


19/21

In my opinion, to fulfill our dream, we need to

work hard no matter you are rich or poor like the

story as written:

To improve her family life, Timah study extra hard

for her final year and want leave the varsity with adegree

Kahir hope that he will get a full certificate and

successful apply for a place at the University ofAgriculture to open an agricultural farm of about a

thousand acres


20/21

In my opinion, As a human being, we must filial

our parent because our parent had sacrifice a lot

for us like the story as written:

Timah helped her mother during school holiday to

earn money


21/21

Finally,

This is a worthwhile story for us

to read ..
