Greeting of Peace

  Reflection   The story of Waiting for Godot features four names, namely Vladimir, Estragon, Pozzo, Lucky, and Boy. These four figures are in uncertainty waiting for a character named Godot who until the end it is known that he did not approach them. While waiting, Vladimir and Estragon discuss many things that surround them. It is through these conversations that the character of each character is seen as well as the confusion and strangeness that appears in their minds. Personally, I think this drama is very complicated because it carries theological things. Theological which talks about everything related to belief. However, it is quite interesting because it feels close to human life in the uncertainty that one encounters while living in the world, it really tells the story of dwarf human existence. After reading this drama script, it occurred to me that the "Godot" is inside each person and not outside himself.

Reflection/Reader response A Sorrowful Woman             A Sorrowful Woman tells the story of a woman's life in a marriage who made her a wife and mother. Being a wife and mother requires a strong mentality because living a patterned life with that same job is not easy. The duties of a wife and mother that I know are taking care of her husband's needs, taking care of children's needs, and taking care of household items. These jobs all consume a woman's time and energy every day. He became deprived of freedom and was haunted by a feeling of boredom. In this story, I see this wife and mother never seemed to have thought of becoming a wife and mother. She was just forced to do her role as a woman in general. So that all the work tormented his mind. Maybe before marriage she fantasized about the perfection she would get when she became a wife and a mother. However, he did not get perfection completely or missed his dream. Even tho...

Rectoverso sebuah film yang mengangkat kisah cinta yang tak terucap. Dari berbagai sudut pandang. Cinta yang tak terucap, pedih rasanya, seperti malaikat yang menjadi juara di hati namun harus pergi meninggalkan. Seperti penyuka punggung ayam yang hanya mengenali sebatas punggung, tidak berani mencoba bagian lain takut melakukan hal yang malah merusak nikmatnya. Seperti kakak yang selalu mendengarkan cerita adik dengan setia walau wanita yang melahirkan mereka berbeda. Si kakak tetap setia mendengar cerita sang adik yang secara tidak langsung menciutkan nyali untuk menyayangi lebih dari seorang kakak terhadap adik. Juga seperti senja yang menaruh firasat terhadap malam yang seolah mencekam ternyata tidak seburuk yang ia bayangkan. Malam yang indah akan memperlihatkan sejuta bintang yang indah, tak perlu risau terhadap hal yang mungkin terjadi, apapun yang terjadi di dunia ini sang penciptalah yang menyuratkannya. Seperti seorang kupu-kupu malam yang menaruh perasaan terhada...
