Monologue Assignment

Ori, he is a college student, he is like most teenagers who can be found out there.
Yeep, it’s me. I am a older brother in my family. I have a lot responsibility on it.
Live…
I am asking to my self, “Why I am alive?” Ofcourse, I am not just live, pay the bills and death. Maybe later I will find my identity and my goals. As a teenager sometimes I feel tired, and sometimes I feel excited.
As a  teenager I have also gone through various things. Ofcourse I feel confined.
I want to be free, but as if I'm walking in a place. actually I am a human being, never satisfied.
I don’t even know what kinds of free that I am looking for. Just like when I achived something but there is still something missing. Maybe this or maybe that.
Yaaah, maybe there is a lot of free. It can be free of speech, free from the invaders, free from rules or anything.
is it true that freedom is determined by God.
I dont know. I am as a freeman who live in Indonesia and free from the colonialism. My great grand father once told me when he was in the battlefield to fight with japan, he was cried he wanted freedom he wants to take his rights in this country as a native.
Everyone at that time wanted their land taken.
They shouted.
Yes, I agree with the quote above. They wanted Indonesia be Indonesia again.
“Tanah Pertiwi” they said. “Merdeka harga mati” they shouted.
If Indonesia is still colonized, I might be at the forefront and demand freedom from the colonials. But no, Indonesia has been free, and I am confused in half why I still feel colonized.
In this life that I know everything is limited by rules, rules that are not comfortable of course they feel limited by it.
Can't everyone be free? Where is the freedom ?
I almost gave up looking for the essence of freedom

The aim of this paper is to analyze the extrinsic elements contained in the short story “The Cask of Amontillado” by Edgar Allan Poe. I use library research method with Sigmund Freud's psychoanalytic theory; this theory uses the development of character personality formed through the conflict of the human mind. Sigmund Freud's psychoanalytic theory of personality argues that human behavior is the result of interaction between three components of the mind: the id, the ego, and the superego and Freud believed that there are three levels of...

Patriarchy, Feminism, and Gender in The Yellow Wallpaper

Muhammad Faruq Bukhori 13020117140087 Patriarchy, Feminism, and Gender in The Yellow Wallpaper By Charlotte Perkins Gilman In the story of The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte, I found a view of patriarchy, feminism, and gender. This story is packaged so unique because from the background of this story the author wrote about the social role of American women at that time. In the following, I will describe the interpretations of patriarchy, feminsime, and gender contained in this story. 1. Feminism Interpretation As the main character of this story, Narrator has experienced a lot of criticism and control from a man namely Sumai himself. She (the narrator) was forbidden to write and to give an opinion, even went out to work she was not allowed by her husband. This can be seen in the following fragment of the story. I even said to John one moonlight evening, but he said what I felt was a draught, and shut the window. There comes John, and I must put this away,- he hates t...
