Name : Rizka Yogi Dwi Harjanti NIM : 183221126 Class : PBI 4D Subject : Basic Analysis of Prose 1. The author tells us that the young man “understood the nature”. Speaking of the princess. Do you agree or disagree? Why? Answer: I really agree if the young man "understood the nature" why? because in this story the author says that, the young man had thought if the princess already knew the contents behind the two doors. And the young man already understood how the character of the princess and was convinced that the princess would not be able to sleep peacefully before she was quiet to know the secret of the king. So, "understood the nature" has been explained through the explanation of the author in the story. 2. What is the king’s method of trying accused criminals? Answer: In this story it is told that the king built a battle arena that the king used to establish justice in the kingdom. The method used is to use 2 doors. The first door contains a wild tiger and the second door contains a beautiful beautiful woman. The defendant will enter the giant theater and confronted 2 doors in front of him. If the defendant chooses the door and contains the wild tiger he is found guilty and will be eaten by the wild tiger, but if there is a beautiful woman behind the door he chooses, then he is declared innocent and is immediately married by the priest regardless of whether he has a family or not. 3. Of what crime is the young man accused? Answer: The young man has a forbidden love with the princess and is known by the king. This was forbidden because the young man came from the middle class and no one dared to love the princess. And according to the king is not commensurate with the princess who is the son of a king. 4. How does the princess signal the young man when he is in the arena? Answer: The princess made a gesture by raising her right hand slightly and making small, fast movements towards the right. The incident was not seen by anyone other than his lover. 5. Why are public trials in the arena so popular with the people of the kingdom? Answer: Because in the kingdom,courts like this have become a tradition in which all the inhabitants of the kingdom have no objections at all with a court system like this. The taku who will come cannot guess what they are witnessing. Massacre or wedding party. 6. In what why is the king’s system of justice considered perfectly fair? Why does the author describe it and the king as semibarbaric? Answer: Because in this story it is explained that the arena of battle is a place for justice to be upheld, crime punished or good is rewarded in kind in the fairest manner no matter the defendant is young, old, or even a respectable person. In this story the author has said if the king is semi-barbaric, because he created a battle arena that is very different from any kingdom to show justice in the royal environment by creating two doors that are ultimately unknown, sadness (eaten by wild tigers) or happiness (married to a beautiful beauty) 7. How does the author describe the nature of the princess? How might this quality influence her decision? Answer: The author describes the nature of the princess by telling firsthand the semibarbaric as her father, the king. The princess is confronted with 2 things, accepting the fact that her lover is married to someone else or is killed by a tiger in front of her. But the princess had told the young man to choose the right door whose contents were known not to be a tiger. 8. Imagine a modern equivalent of the king’s arena- a lottery in which the accused picks a “to jail” ticket or a “go free” ticket. Would such a lottery be fair? Why or why not? Answer: In my opinion no, why did I say no? because in this context the defendant already knew and directly chose the ticket which was prison or free. Why not fair? Obviously not, because the defendant can vote directly without guessing, and in my opinion it is tantamount to choosing "money" or "food" which clearly has a tangible form. And that's really not fair. And this is different from the choice given by the king, because the defendant himself will determine and choose what is not a wild tiger. 9. Anlyzing a dilemma Answer : 1. The princess's dilemma In this incident the princess had told her lover to choose the right door whose contents were known not to be wild tigers. But, in fact the princess also experienced a feeling of a dilemma, namely how it would have happened if it was true that out of the right door was a beautiful woman who had been chosen to marry her lover. On the other hand, the princess also felt frightened if the chosen young man contained a wild tiger who would tear his lover in front of the princess. 2. The youth dilemma The young man here is faced with two doors that will bring his destiny. Eaten by a wild tiger or marrying a beautiful woman but not her lover whom she has loved so far.
