The Road Not Taken Robert Frost   Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth;   Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same,   And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back.   I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.          ‘The Road Not Taken’ was written by Robert Frost in 1916. It also became the most popular poem of him. The poem consists of four stanzas and five lines in each, and the rhyme schem...

  A Dream Deferred Langston Hughes What happens to a dream deferred? Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun? Or fester like a sore– And then run? Does it stink like rotten meat? Or crust and sugar over– like a syrupy sweet? Maybe it just sags like a heavy load. Or does it explode?   “Dream Deferred” is a short poem written by Langston Huge. This poem is one of his famous works. There are four stanzas with eleven lines in this poem. The poem uses many figurative language and metaphor, such as ‘like a raisin in the sun?’, ‘Does it stink like rotten meat?’, ‘Maybe it just sags like a heavy load’ and so on. In my opinion, this poem has successfully presented a good visualization through its figurative language in my mind when I read it. The rhyme of this poem is inconsistent. The sentences in this poem actually only some questions without answer. Dream Deferred tells us about the postponed dream. When we have a dream, we must have the purpose to fulfill the dream. If the drea...

sc. http://geekplease.blogspot.co.id/2015/01/glist-10-film-based-on-novel-terbaik.html             Sejak dulu hingga saat ini, telah banyak dirilis film hasil adaptasi dari novel. Sebut saja Harry Potter, Twilight, dan lain-lain. Beberapa film adaptasi laris manis di pasaran, namun tidak sedikit pula yang mendapat kritikan pedas karena tidak dapat memenuhi ekspektasi penonton. Harry Potter adalah salah satu contoh film yang berjalan mulus tanpa kritikan berarti. Mayoritas penonton merasa puas dengan tampilan yang disuguhkan dalam film tersebut.  Mengadaptasi kisah dari novel ke dalam film tentu tidak mudah. Ada banyak kendala yang dihadapi oleh pihak produser. Seperti, durasi film yang singkat, penyempitan alur, serta interpretasi karakter maupun suasana yang tergambar dalam novel.             Terlepas dari kekurangan dan kelebihan yang dimiliki oleh no...
