            The Signalman and the Ghost at the Trial is a ghost book story which written by Charles Dickens. The original book was published at 1866. It is one of some Charles Dickens’s books that had been filmed. Now, the books were published and distributed by PT. Dian Rakyat for sale in Indonesia. This book is used to help the learners at beginner level of English. This book contains 2 short stories, the first story is The Signalman, and the second story is The Ghost at the Trial. In this change, I will explain the second story, The Ghost at the Trial.
            The Ghost at the Trial tells about a man, George Fotherly. He had a job in a famous bank in London. He lived in his apartment with his servant. He had no wife and family. One day, he was reading a newspaper on is sitting room. On the front page, there was a news about a horrible murder. After he read that news, he had a dream about the victim’s room that he read before. When he woke up, he saw a strange thing happened in front of his apartment. He saw a frightened man who was followed by a pale face’s man. Both of them are staring at him. Three days later, some police arrested a man who accused as the murderer.
            Two month later, George and his servant saw a ghost in his dressing room. They were frightened. The next morning, George got a letter from the Law Courts. He was asked to be a member of the jury in a trial. He must stay together with the other members of jury at night. The jury has a job to find out the fact of the case in the trial. They must discuss about the truth based on the evidence from the witnesses. In the trial, George had some strange experience again. First, he saw the frightened man that he saw in front of his apartment two months ago as the accused person. And he lifted his hands up when the judge asking who wants to be the foreman between the jury, and the last, He saw thirteen juries in the trial. Meanwhile in the list there were only twelve juries. The thirteenth jury is a shadow of the ghost. And he recognized the ghost face’s as the pale man’s face that he saw two months ago in front of his apartment and followed the accused man.
            On the fifth day of the trial, George realized that the ghost who kept following him during the trial is the victim of murderer case and he wanted him to recover the fact. The ghost wants George to prove that the accused man is guilty and must be punished. George decided to help the ghost. And at the last day of the trial, the judge spoke to the jury. George as the foreman told the judge about the accused man, the victim, and the witnesses. At that time, the ghost appeared in the trial room. But, George was the only one who can see him. When the judge finally decided that the accused man is guilty, the ghost disappeared. His revenge has been paid.
            The story told us a strange relation between the death and life people, I think it’s hard to believe that they can make a contact. But from this story we can learn one thing, we should help each other. However, the truth will always be the winner and the bad one will get punishment. George character’s reminds us that we must help to recover the fact.
            I recommended this book for the reader at beginner level in English. This book using simple vocabulary and it’s easy to understand. It also explains us about the condition of the mid-nineteenth century with some picture. Besides, the size of this book is small so it can be brought everywhere easier than another book which much thicker.

This fiction book is the last sequel to the world bestseller book, Harry Potter. The author of this book is Joanne Kathleen Rowling. It consists of 607 pages. The price of this book is £ 17.99. It first published in Great Britain in 2007 by Bloomsbury Publishing at Soho Square, London.
This book tells about the final confrontation between Harry Potter, the Boy Who Lived, the Chosen One, Undesireable No. 1, the Symbol of Hope for both wizards and Muggle worlds and Lord Voldemort, He Who Must Not Be Named and the leader of the Death Eathers. Good versus evil. Love versus death. Harry has already lost his parents, his Godfather Sirius Black, and his beloved teacher Professor Albus Dumbledore. In this last series, he lost more, more, and more. At least a dozen characters we already knew died in this series and the others were tortured. Voldemort and his Death Eathers were infiltrated the Hogwarts and Ministry of Magic, created a taboo and jinx to his name and made terror in Wizard, Muggle World, and population of elves, goblins, and centaurs. Those things made Harry often wished that he were not as a leader of Resistance Movement, The Order of The Phoenix as what all people taught of him. He wished he could not to be responsible for all the disastrous. He wished him only an ordinary boy who felt free to burn in love with Ginny Weasley and could go hang out with his friends. However, Harry has been given with a dangerous and seemingly an impossible task; that of locating and destroying Voldemort’s remaining Horcruxes. Horcrux is a secret magical object in which Voldemort has stabbed parts of his soul on it. He must leave the warmth, safety, and companionship of The Burrow. He did not know which path to choose as he was standing at the crossroads nut he must follow without fear or hesitation the inexorable path laid out for him. Harry, Hermione, and Ron were avoid the crowded of life, the conflicts in society but accidentally, in their adventure they found ‘Hallows’ which were said that those only a myth. At last, Harry must entered the Forbidden Forest then he must did battle not only with the Death Eathers but also the Lord Voldemort himself.
This is a fantastic book! I absolutely love this one. In this last series, seventh installment of the Harry Potter series, Joanne Kathleen Rowling told in a spectacular way the answer to the question that have been so eagerly awaited. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is all about action from the start. There was no more teenage romance, the warmth of Christmas, journey to the Hogsmeade and even Quidditch but both Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows and Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire put a little bit competition between Harry Potter and his best friend, Ronald Weasley because Ronald envied with Harry’s embrace. We can see the darkness in this series as we see when the skies are changing in all the shades of blue. This book can make my passion split up. Each page is full of breathtaking emotions. The spellbinding, richly woven narrative, which plunges, twists, and turns at a breathtaking pace. Joanne Kathleen Rowling gave the best unpredictable ending for this one. She succeeded in created her own fantasy world with every detail that can make the readers swim into her imagination and flood with feelings. My eyes can be welled with the tears of delight or my face can flushed with happiness so recently. Those all confirm the author as a mistress of a story telling, the true master of writing, whose book will be read, reread, and read again.
This book is as fresh as the bright blue sky. The story is excellent. The darkness really felt. The crisis and ending is unpredicted, make you won’t to miss any word. You should have this one! You will not regret buying this book. You will feel like this old world seem brand new after read this book. You’d probably break down and cry if you never read this one. I give it a standing ovation. Indeed!

Once Titania was heartbroken because of her love affair with Brandon, a young lawyer,  expired. The end of the relationship because of Titania caught Brandon was cheating. Not only that, Brandon also have the heart to say that no man wants make a relationship with Titania.

To prove the words of Brandon is not true, and also because her brother's insistence, Titania register at a dating agency to meet with someone who fits the criteria. While waiting list of men who will met by Titania, Titania met a programmer named Rilley, in the "Fresh Market".

The first meeting of unintended continued to other meetings that make Titania felt something in her heart. Not allegedly also turned Rilley is one of the list of the men who organized the matchmaking. The stories of romance was continued after they realized about it. The depiction of American men on Asian girl becomes the topic that I love from the whole story, even though overall I liked this novel.
 The nice delivery story that deliverd by the author, Aliazalea, will make the readers will not be willing to blink their eyes when reading the novel "Blind Date". The attractive story packaging that flows from the back yard increment to the flesh, not far from the previous page.

With the advantage of the novel "Blind Date" is, it is proper novel "Blind Date" this could be a recommendation for readers of romance novels lovers.

Terjemahan

Novel kedua dari Aliazalea, novel pertama "Miss Pesimis", yang berjudul "Blind Date" mengisahkan kisah percintaan seorang gadis berumur 27 tahun bernama Titania. Titania adalah seorang gadis Indonesia yang hidup di Amerika, perbedaan budaya yang dikemas dalam tema cinta menjadi latar belakang novel ini.

Setting novel yang mengambil sebuah daerah di North Carolina, Amerika digambarkannya dengan baik oleh penulis sehingga pembaca bisa membayangkan keadaan disana. Alkisah Titania sedang patah hati karena hubungan cintanya dengan Brandon, seorang pengacara muda,  berakhir. Berakhirnya hubungan mereka karena Titania memergoki Brandon selingkuh. Tidak cuma itu, Brandon juga tega mengatakan bahwa tidak akan ada laki-laki yang mau menjalin hubungan dengan Titania.

Untuk membuktikan perkataan Brandon tidak benar, dan juga karna desakan adiknya, Titania mendaftar di sebuah biro jodoh untuk bisa bertemu dengan seseorang yang sesuai dengan kriterianya. Sembari menunggu daftar pria-pria yang akan memenuhi kencanya, Titania berkenalan dengan seorang programmer bernama Rilley, yang secara tidak sengaja bertemu di "Fresh Market".

Pertemuan pertama yang tidak disengaja tersebut berlanjut ke pertemuan-pertemuan yang lainnya yang membuat Titania merasakan sesuatu di hatinya. Tidak diduga juga ternyata Rilley merupakan salah satu dari daftar pria-pria yang diatur oleh biro jodoh. Kisah-kisah romatis pun berlanjut setelah mereka menyadari akan hal tersebut. Penggambaran pria Amerika mengenai permpuan asia menjadi topik yang saya sukai dari keseluruhan, walupun secara keseluruhan saya suka dengan novel ini.

Penyamapian kisah yang sangat apik oleh penulis, Aliazalea, akan membuat pembaca tidak akan rela mengedipkan matanya ketika membaca novel "Blind Date". Kemasan ceirta yang mengalir menarik dari halaman pertam dengan flesh back yang tidak jauh dari halaman sebelumnya.

Dengan keunggulan novel "Blind Date" tersebut, sudah selayaknya novel "Blind Date" ini bisa menjadi rekomendasi bagi pembaca penikmat novel-novel romantis.

2. Laskar Pelangi 

The work of Andrea Hirata's novel with 534 pages thick book contains a very interesting story. The story in the novel is a true story of the journey of a writer in pursuit of his dream to the French State. This story was touted to be crowded very interesting film by renowned director Riri Riza and Mira Lesmana. This novel is able to make the reader feel like drifting and brought into the story in it.

The story begins in Laskar Pelangi from the life of a boy named Curly who start school with had to wait ten children who want to attend school curls. Anxiously curls, Sahara, Trapani, Leek, Syahdan, Mahar, Latitude, Borek, A kiong, Bu Mus, Pak Harfan, and their parents waited to see if there is one more person who wants to go to school in SD Muhamaddiyah when, not ten children then, they will not be able to attend school. Because, SD Muhamaddiyah be finished. They waited so long finally a man fifteen years old witty and somewhat developmentally disabled his ninth save Elementary School also Muhamaddiyah. Curls and friends - his friends are very happy, they were finally able to go to school in SD Muhamaddiyah to achieve dreams and goals - goals as a couple - exceptional in his Belitong.

The main character of the story he was named Curly A boy - a tough man, smart, brave, and willing to learn to dream like accomplishment. Latitude character is A boy - a very intelligent man, a genius, brave, but because that makes him keadaanlah Dropout. A figure is Mahar boys - men who sing smart, intelligent, and love the things - things unseen (mystery), Bu Mus is a woman who is very kind, thoughtful, and well-loved teacher students - students, and many figures other.

Style of language used Andrea Hirata considered good style and very interesting, in it other than the Indonesian language Bahasa Melayu also use that makes the reader look a little confused and have to guess what the purpose of that language. However, in every sense of the Malay language used there is always dikalimat bottom, so after reading the definition of the language in which we can digest back Malay was a little less understandable.

The flow contained within the novel is groove mix, but more predominantly use Path Forward. The author uses first person perspective, as an author of this story in the Main Store. So the story is intriguing for the reader to want to quickly finish reading it. The novel contains a lot of useful message for the readers. Andrea Hirata teaches us not to Desperate advance, if it is to achieve the desired dream.

The interesting thing about this novel is that it can awaken us not to be easily discouraged if, to achieve a dream. Teach us to be kind to your fellow and willing to help each other. In His novel, Andrea Hirata clever tuck questions are constantly implied, from the beginning of the story until the end of the story there is a sense of the Malay language and how to read it. However, with all its beauty and kelebihannnya, this novel makes the reader gets a little difficult because of the Malay language, the phrase and the sentence khiasan make this story a little difficult. Even so, the story is still compelling and loaded with messages that can be translated to contemplate and more deeply.

 Terjemahan

Novel Karya Andrea Hirata dengan tebal buku 534 halaman ini mengandung sebuah cerita yang sangat menarik. Cerita yang ada didalam Novel ini merupakan kisah nyata dari perjalanan seorang Penulis dalam mengejar mimpinya hingga ke Negara Perancis. Cerita ini pun ramai dipuji hingga dijadikan Film yang sangat menarik oleh Sutradara terkenal Riri Riza dan Mira Lesmana. Novel ini mampu membuat pembaca merasa seperti terhanyut dan terbawa ke dalam cerita didalamnya.

Kisah dalam Laskar Pelangi ini diawali dari kehidupan seorang anak yang bernama Ikal yang memulai sekolah dengan harus menunggu sepuluh anak yang ingin bersekolah di sekolah Ikal. Dengan cemas Ikal, Sahara, Trapani, Kucai, Syahdan, Mahar, Lintang, Borek, A kiong, Bu Mus, Pak Harfan, dan para orang tua murid menunggu apakah ada satu orang lagi yang ingin bersekolah di SD Muhamaddiyah jika, tidak sampai sepuluh anak maka, mereka tidak akan bisa bersekolah. Karena, SD Muhamaddiyah akan tamat riwayatnya. Sekian lama mereka menunggu akhirnya Seorang pria jenaka berusia Lima belas tahun dan agak terbelakang mentalnya menyelamatkan kesembilan temannya juga Sekolah SD Muhamaddiyah. Ikal dan teman – temannya sangat senang, akhirnya mereka bisa bersekolah di SD Muhamaddiyah untuk meraih mimpi dan cita – citanya bersama teman – temannya yang luar biasa di Belitong.

Tokoh utama dari cerita ini bernama Ikal ia adalah Seorang anak laki – laki yang tangguh, pintar, berani, dan mau belajar demi mimpi yang ingin diwujudkannya. Tokoh Lintang adalah Seorang anak laki – laki yang sangat cerdas, jenius, berani, tetapi karena keadaanlah yang membuat dia Putus Sekolah. Tokoh Mahar adalah Seorang anak laki – laki yang pintar menyanyi, cerdas, dan suka terhadap hal – hal yang gaib (misteri), Bu Mus adalah Seorang wanita yang sangat baik, bijaksana, dan guru yang sangat dicintai murid – muridnya, dan masih banyak tokoh lainnya.

Gaya bahasa yang digunakan Andrea Hirata dianggap sebagai gaya yang baik dan sangat menarik, didalamnya selain menggunakan Bahasa Indonesia juga menggunakan Bahasa Melayu yang membuat para pembaca tampak sedikit kebingungan dan harus menerka apa maksud dari bahasa tersebut. Namun, arti didalam setiap Bahasa Melayu yang digunakan selalu terdapat dikalimat terbawah, sehingga setelah membaca pengertian dari Bahasa yang digunakan kita dapat mencerna kembali Bahasa Melayu yang tadinya sedikit kurang dimengerti.

Alur yang terdapat didalam Novel ini adalah Alur Campuran, namun lebih dominan menggunakan Alur Maju. Pengarang menggunakan sudut pandang orang Pertama, karena Penulis merupakan Toko Utama didalam cerita ini. Sehingga ceritanya membuat penasaran bagi para pembaca sehingga ingin cepat menyelesaikan membacanya. Novel ini banyak mengandung amanat yang bermanfaat bagi para pembacanya. Andrea Hirata mengajarkan kita agar tidak terlebih dahulu Putus Asa, jika ingin meraih mimpi yang diinginkan.

Hal yang menarik dari Novel ini adalah dapat membangkitkan kita agar tidak mudah putus asa jika, ingin meraih mimpi. Mengajarkan kita agar baik terhadap teman sesama dan mau untuk saling membantu. Dalam Novelnya, Andrea Hirata pandai menyelipkan pertanyaan yang terus tersirat, dari awal cerita sampai akhir ceritanya terdapat arti dari Bahasa Melayunya dan cara membacanya. Namun, dengan segala keindahan dan kelebihannnya, Novel ini membuat para pembacanya mendapat sedikit kesulitan karena adanya Bahasa Melayu, adanya ungkapan dan khiasan dalam kalimat membuat cerita ini sedikit terasa sulit. Walaupun begitu, cerita ini tetap memikat dan penuh dengan muatan pesan yang dapat direnungkan dan diterjemahkan dengan lebih dalam.
