4. Plot

Plot cerita ini adalah plot konvensional, Karena ada eksposisi aksi meningkat, klimaks, aksi jatuh, dan resolusi.

5. Tone

Tone yang dipakai adalah Emotional and Interested.

Watson mencakup banyak dialog, sehingga nada narasinya sering bergeser setiap kali dia berbicara dengan seseorang yang baru. Namun, ada nuansa khas terhadap monolog dan deskripsi internal Watson. Misalnya, ambil adegan ini dari malam pertamanya di Baskerville Hall:

Far away a chiming clock struck out the quarters of the hours, but otherwise a deathly silence lay upon the old house. And then suddenly, in the very dead of the night, there came a sound to my ears, clear, resonant, and unmistakable. It was the sob of a woman, the muffled, strangling gasp of one who is torn by an uncontrollable sorrow. (6.72)

Watson terpesona oleh semua detail kecil dari adegan ini, oleh " chiming clock " dan " muffled, strangling gasp " dari isak tangis wanita yang tidak dikenal itu. Dia memiliki mata yang bagus (atau telinga) secara spesifik, yang selalu memberi kesan - bahkan dalam deskripsi emosional yang kurang dari ini - Watson sangat tertarik dengan apa pun yang dia laporkan kepada kita.

Simak bagaimana Watson menyajikan air mata wanita misterius ini. Dia menekankan bahwa " a deathly silence lay upon the old house," ketika " in the very dead of night" he hears sobbing " dia mendengar terisak-isak. Pengulangan "death" ini tidak hanya memberi kita perasaan bahwa  sunyi dan diam rumah itu (jawabannya: sangat), tapi juga memberi perasaan sedih dan kemurungan pada deskripsi Watson tentang tangisan yang didengarnya. Pilihan bahasa Watson di sini menunjukkan rasa emosi sekaligus fakta, yang membantu menarik minat kita sebagai pembaca. Sebenarnya, semua deskripsi Watson cenderung menekankan bagaimana perasaan mereka, yang memberi kita perasaan tidak hanya tentang pemandangan, tapi juga kepribadian Watson.

7. Point Of View

POV yang digunakan disini adalah First Person Central Narrator

Watson adalah narator pertama kita. Dia melaporkan segala sesuatu yang Holmes lakukan dari sudut pandangnya. Gambarannya tentang kejadian The Hound of the Baskervilles menekankan atmosfer kasus ini, dengan setting suram dan orang-orang anehnya. Jika Holmes menceritakan ceritanya, siapa tahu apa itu tulang telanjang, gaya peluru cerita yang akan kita dapatkan. Tidak ada burung layang-layang berkabut, tidak ada siluet yang melawan bulan-hanya fakta saja. Hanya memikirkan kemungkinan itu membuat kami ingin menutup buku.

8. Moral Value

Nilai moral dari Novel ini adalah:

"Orang serakah yang akan membawanya ke dalam kehancuran"

"Berpikirlah sebelum bertindak"

Modernization results in the loss of Banjarese traditions

Modernization results in the loss of Banjarese traditions

           

            Modernization in the social sciences refers to a form of transformation from a less developed state or to a better direction in the hope of achieving a more advanced, thriving and prosperous society. Modernization is not only happening in the capital but also penetrated to other cities, for example Banjarmasin. Banjarese people especially young children are currently deeply affected and are beginning to forget their tradition as Banjarese, they begin to transform into more westernized people whom they perceive as slang and reflect the cool and modern young. many causes that make the tradition of Banjar begin to disappear, some of which are technological developments that are too fast, the absence of parents who teach the tradition of Banjar to his son, and Banjarese young people assume that their traditions are outdated and boring. it is these causes that the writers believe greatly affects the loss of the Banjar tradition.

             When used properly, Internet technology certainly has a positive impact. One can easily find the information you want to know. By simply typing a word on a search engine, there are many websites referenced about that information. But this also causes children or teenagers begin to forget their traditions that should be preserved or maintained by adolescents who still have a long future. They prefer to play with their gadgets longer than studying their traditions, whereas the tradition of Banjar itself has its own pleasure when you have done it and also should they as adolescent Banjar want to maintain this because part of the past development of banjar society. whereas the writers argue that with the development of their technology even more able to re-establish the tradition of Banjar and introduce it to the world through social media is now very popular.

            Another thing that is also the cause is the absence of parents who teach the tradition of Banjar to his son. Some parents think that teaching children about the Banjar tradition is just a waste of time, they think by teaching the Banjar tradition that it will hamper their child's development and make it impossible to compete in the present life. Whereas teaching from parents to children about tradition is very important because parents can be a role model by showing love of Banjarese tradition because by being an example to children, parents can show that they appreciate and love Banjarese traditions then most likely children will imitate them and then become people who also love the traditions of Banjarese. However, most parents do not think so, even those who abandon their traditions and forget them because they think it has nothing to them. The writers deeply regrets this because for me the tradition is a legacy of the past that must be maintained, whereas Banjarese tradition itself is very unique and interesting to learn.

            Another cause that makes the writer sad is Banjarese young people assume that their traditions are outdated and boring. They assume that the Banjarese tradition is out of date so they do not learn it and prefer to study the foreign culture that they consider more modern. They are also reluctant to learn it because they think it's boring when they want to learn and then update it and pack it into a more modern, Banjarese tradition will be a very interesting tradition and may even bring in income for those who teach it.  For writers those who think that the Banjarese tradition is outdated and boring because they have not learned and are familiar with the tradition, but if they want to learn it Banjarese tradition is very exciting in terms of history and how to do these traditions. Such as the tradition of  baayun anak, which has a unique history to know, why do they use a kain kuning and tali haduk to swing for? Singing a distinctive and special song for maayun, and so on. is not this very interesting to learn and not boring?.

            Every cause must have an effect that occurs, from which the authors conclude there are two effects resulting from the causes above and those two things are:

            No one wants to learn the Banjarese tradition. Because young people are more focused on their gadgets and other things they find more attractive and modern. They ultimately didn’t want to learn the Banjarese tradition which they considered boring and out of date, their lack of motivation to study the Banjarese tradition will result in this tradition becoming extinct and disappearing for good. However, this can’t be blamed only on the younger generation; the older generation is also responsible for this because they do not want to teach the younger generation. There should be continuity between the young and the elderly, the old teaches the young and the young learn the tradition and update it to make it more interesting for other youths to take part in preserving the Banjarese tradition. And can still preserve the Banjarese tradition

            The most terrible effect is extinction of the Banjarese tradition. When this happens the Banjarese tradition that can’t compete in this era of modernization will only remain a memory and history. We can only hear through our parents' stories and look through history books on this subject. This makes the writer sad the disappearance of the Banjarese tradition means the disappearance of the original Banjar and there is no such thing as Banjar People in south Kalimantan. And this means missing also one tradition in Indonesia which he said is full of variety and culture.

            At the end of this essay, the writer expects us all as young people who have a long future to learn our traditions as Banjar people. Although in the midst of the onslaught of modernization we must be able to maintain the Banjarese tradition in order not to disappear from the world and if we can bring our tradition abroad so that our unique and interesting culture can make them impressed. By introducing them to them we can also lift our region to become famous and increase revenue to our region also we can ultimately contribute to our region, where we are born and enjoy our childhood until we are like now. It is also a form of our gratitude towards our ancestors who gave us life as it is today.
