Indonesian Literature Definition

In my opinion

Most of people in Indonesia think about Indonesian Literature is LOWER than English, France, or whatever literature.  What’s the meaning of LOWER? Okay, let me explain it.

 First, surely you want to know, why was I choose Indonesian Literature?  Honestly, at that time I had had no idea about Indonesian literature. I knew more about English literature. Till, my tutor told me that “Indonesian literature have bright future, you can be a journalist, an author, a linguist and much more you can get.” Plus, my aunty said that some of her friends became a teacher Indonesian Language in Australia and they were from Indonesian Literature. Wowwwww, seriously? I wasn’t thinking about more and yes I pitched upon Indonesian Literature which is I hope for my bright future.  I’ve passed a written test SNMPTN, Alhamdulillah.

Day one learning about Indonesian Literature…. Shit! This is so hard!!!!! How could I didn’t know much about Indonesian grammar??? I’m Indonesian though. Days passed, a lot of people assumed that Indonesian Literature is easy, trash, not important, and so on. I cried a lot seriously, when I was hearing some of friends said that. But, I’ll prove it! I’ll become someone someday! Watch me out!

I’ve learnt quite much about Indonesian Literature. There are many jobs you can get! There is much function! The most important you can promote to the world about Indonesia. I mean language and literature mostly.

I used to be lazy to read. But now, I don’t anymore! I love writing and reading. I used to be hate Indonesia. But now, I try to more step into motherland. I used to love modern dance. But now, I’m dancing traditional (once, I will write about! :D)  As you know, who says Indonesian literature is totally learn about Indonesian language? Our textbooks are most of English. See? Many benefits we can get. Also, we are not only talk about literature and language, but speaking including our subject. I guess Indonesian literature is quite complete. You know what? I’m at four semester and I’ve never got satisfied score. I’ve got better score in my English course. See?

 So, are you still thinking that Indonesian Literature is easy, not important, and bad?  Thinking again, again, and again babe.  I’m saying not only for Indonesian Literature but also for all subjects. Many people in Indonesia are tacky, they are always choose major that were hits, hmmmm mainstream. Every subject has their own special and need each other. So, please open your eyes, especially your mind. Make Indonesia more better do not be poky minded. Don’t be shy that you’re Indonesian.

p.s: I wrote this with English in order to promote Indonesia :)
