Why you recommend this book to a friend?why or why not?


Why I recommend this book because the story of this book is very uniqe and you can find many
moral value from this story. This book also is good for read because this story tells about how
children think about the grown-ups and how complicated their thinking is and they always need
an explanation about anything.

The part in this story that I liked the most was when the little prince asked the narrator to draw a
sheep. but the little prince refused the first picture of the narrator because in that picture the
sheep looked sick, and he also rejected the second and third pictures, until finally the narrator
drew a box and said that "the sheap you asked for is inside" but who really turned out that the
little prince said "That is exactly the way i wanted it!"

Title of Short Story: Meiko and The Fifth Treasure

Author: Eleanor Coerr

Setting:

- Nagasaki ( The city of Meiko and the place of the atom bomb was dropped)
“The Thunderbolt-the atom bomb was dropped on Nagasaki. Windows shattered and roof
tiles flew through the air. Mieko was knocked to the ground. When she had put up an arm
to shield her face, a jagged piece of glass had torn into her hand, ripping a deep gash from
her fingers to the wrist.”
- Grandpa’s farm (Meiko's father told Meiko to stay temporarily at her sister's
house and that's where the story of Meiko's journey, which is fun and scary,
in finding the fifth treasure begins).
“And now she had been shipped to Grandpa’s farm. “Just for a few months, Mieko,”
Mother had explained, forcing a smile. “We must remain here to take care of the injured.
Besides, the fresh air and farm food will be good for you.”
- The Backyard Tub( They enjoy the evening breeze)
“After supper they all had baths in the backyard tub and put on cotton kimonos. Twilight
fell and crickets began to sing. Mieko thought they sounded sad.”
- The tiny garden behind the house (Place a large rock belonging to Meiko's
grandfather with the words carved on it "Spilled water never returns to the
glass" which he lowered from a hill using a cart).
““Last year I hauled it down the mountain in the cart. Mieko, can you read the words
carved into my rock?” Mieko studied the strokes that formed the word-pictures, but they
were difficult to make out. She shook her head. “Spilled water never returns to the glass,”
Grandpa explained. “It means that one should not worry about things that cannot be
changed.””
- School ( A very scary place for meiko).
““You must go to school,” Grandpa said. “It is important to keep up with your studies.”
Mieko knew all that. But a strange school? With children she did not know? And with a
hideous, twisted hand? “Maybe they won’t like me, ” she said in a low voice.”
- Schoolyard(The place where Meiko was bullied by a boy named Akira and
also the place where Meiko met Yoshi, a girl who became Meiko's best
friend and who helped her from Akira).
“As they filed out into the schoolyard, Akira came up behind Mieko and grabbed her
schoolbag. He dug into it and pulled out her painting brush. In a flash, he swaggered out
into the yard shouting, “Hey! Look what I’ve got! Monster-hand’s dirty old atom bomb
brush!” Mieko turned pale and ran after him, trying to grab her brush. “Give it back!” she
screamed. “It’s mine!” Other boys joined in the game. “Monster-hand! Monster-hand!”
they chanted, tossing the brush from one to the other, always just out of Mieko’s reach.
Suddenly she heard a girl’s voice. “Stop that! You’re acting like a bunch of babies.”
Mieko knew the girl was called Yoshi. She was small and dainty with a red bow in her
hair”
- Beach and A length of huge clay sewer pipe (Meiko's place of escape and
Meiko's secret hiding place whenever her grandmother's friends come to the
house)
“Mieko avoided talking with anyone. The few times when Grandma had afternoon tea
with a friend, Mieko would escape to the nearby beach. Someone had left a length of
huge clay sewer pipe there, and its cool, shadowy interior was her secret hideaway. On
the sandy floor she scratched out wordpictures with a stick—Mother, Father, and Home.”
- Yoshi's aunt's house ( Where Meiko met about Hisako's aunt who is a
scholar of brush-painting)
““Do you paint word-pictures?” Mieko asked meekly. “Heavens no!” Aunt Hisako
replied in her deep voice. “I am only a scholar of brush-painting. In other words, I study
the work of famous writing masters. It gives me great pleasure.” She fixed her eyes on
Mieko.”
- One Muggy September morning
“Grandma calmly said, “Mieko, you will be going to school next week. ””
- The Contest
“Something that scared Meiko but ultimately made Meiko feel very happy, don't Meiko
manage to find the fifth treasure again.”
- After suppert
“They all had baths in the backyard tub and put on cotton kimonos. Then they sat outside
to enjoy the evening breeze.”
- Atmosfer ( sad, happy, scare, lonely, nightmare, hopeless, insecure, trauma)

of SM Entertainment

Author: Annisa Pratamasari

What material is discussed in the journal:


This journal discusses the Hallyu wave, how SM Entertainment became the
pioneer of the Hallyu wave, and the strategies used by SM Entertainment to
compete in the domestic and international music industry. As we know that the kpop music and
K-drama industry is popular in the world today, especially among millennials

The contents:
Hallyu Wave is sudden increase in popularity of South Korean culture around the world, largely
due to the Korean entertainment industry and the popularity of K-drama and K-pop. SM
Entertainment is one of the pioneers of the Hallyu Wave in the Korean music industry. To
compete in the domestic and international music industry, SM Entertainment uses 3 very good
strategies, namely: the distinct traineeship system, successful B2C strategy, and profitable B2B.

Bae Yong Jun's 'winter sonata' is the first k-drama to pioneer the development of k-drama
internationally. Several shooting locations in this film have become a test destination for tourists
from various countries. While for kpop itself pioneered by SM Entertainment. In 1996, SM
Entertainment debuted or produced the first boy band in Korea, namely H.O.T. And since then,
there have been hundreds Korean boy groups and girl groups are produced by many
entertainment companies and their worldwide popularity is increasing extraordinary. Because of
this, South Korea's state income has increased, especially in the tourism sector.

Korean pop business model from SM Entertainment includes several strategies. the first is the
traineeship, where the treiners are trained in good facilities. the second is the B2C (business-to-
consumers) strategy in which companies build a market niche to market their products. The
industry sells physical albums, digital songs, official merchandise, concerts, product
endorsements, and even the official fanclubs registration. and for the third strategy SM
Entertainment uses a B2B (Business to Business) strategy. For this strategy, SM Entertainment
began collaborating with well-known composers and choreographers. For example, 'Genie' by
SNSD written by Korean songwriters, compiled by Norwegian company, and choreographed by
Japanese Dancers. This is done to expand and globalize the Kpop market, especially since its
fans are currently spread all over the world.

I highly recommend this journal for kpop and k-drama fans because from this journal we can
find out how kpon and k-drama are so popular around the world. from this journal we can also
find out new things about the kpop music industry.
