Contoh Argumentative Essay
Minor Worker
Nowadays,
it is not a big deal anymore if we see a minor worker in the street. There are
so many minors in the street that work as a beggar, shoes polisher, and a
singing beggar. Almost all of them work in the street because their parents do
not have much money to pay their education in school, so the parents just ask
them to work and get some money for their live than study in school and spend a
lot of money. In this case, I believe that there are several reasons why the minor
worker wants to work in young ages.
First,
the minor worker thinks that they have to work and save their money for school
in one day. I know someone in my hometown, he did not school, but he worked and
saved his some money for school in the next year. Actually, government has given
a free education for children whom cannot afford the cost, but the uniform is
not free, and there are some schools that still ask the student to pay something
that do not have to pay. The minor worker can handle it if that is really happen
in their school.
Second,
students can get an education from their teacher in school, but the minor
worker thinks that they can get an education from other resources such as books,
newspapers, and environments. There are many minors that do not school, but
they still want to learn and know something. “Some of the minors are not
school, but they can learn English from their environments”, said Dewa as a
citizen in Bali ( Pandu, 2010).
The
last one, the minor worker who think that there is nothing that has to change
in their life. They just follow their parents’ order because of they have no
ambition to live better. There are so much minor workers in the street that
have no ambition to live better, they just live to get some money, and then they
use it to live, if there is no money, they will try to get it and use it again,
they just do it continuously. I did something like observation with my
classmates, I asked them what they think about this third reason, and 75% of
them think that almost the entire minor worker is have no ambition to change
their life to be better.
So,
I think that there are three reasons why the minor worker wants to work in
young ages, the first one is the minor worker thinks that they have to work and
save their money for school in one day, the second one is the minor worker
thinks that they can get an education without school, and the last one is the
minor worker who thinks that there is nothing that has to change and have no
ambition in their life, they just live their life that already existed.

POEM ANALYSIS or HOW TO ANALYSIS A POETRY
Wild Nigths - Wild Nights!
by
Emily Dickinson
United States
1830-1886
Wild Nights - Wild Nights!
Were I with thee
Wild Nights should be
Our luxury!
Futile - the Winds
To a Heart in port,
Done with the Compass
Done with the Chart!
Rowing in Eden!
Ah, the sea!
Might I but moor
Tonight in thee!

Poem Analysis
Wild Nights
– Wild Nights by Emily Dickinson
“Wild
Nights – Wild Nights!” is a Lyric poetry which written by Emily Dickinson who largely
disappeared from society. She became a local Amherst eccentric, always dressed
in white. Near the end of her life, she shunned company of any kind. In this her poem no narrative plot to report and there is no story to
tell. The poem is sustained exclamation, an extended expression of agitated
yearning for reunion with a lover.
The
theme of this poem is Dickinson expresses a side that may seem
incongruent with the conventional persona that so often relegates her to
virginal solitude.
This three-stanza poem has four line in every stanza (Quatrain)
The
rhyme scheme in this poem is there are two types.
In the
first stanza it is A-B-B-B because there word ‘’night” in the first line (A)
then “thee” “be” and “luxury” in the second until the fourth line (B). It is B
because those words have same pronunciation in the last syllable.
The
second and third stanza is A-B-C-B because just there are two words which have
same pronunciation in the last syllable; it is second line and the fourth line.
Stanza One: “Were I with thee”
Dickinson’s ardent affections appear directed at one
person. The selection of the verb “were” is a conspicuous use of the
subjunctive tense, indicating that Dickinson is separated from the person she
desires. She therefore speaks in the hypothetical, projecting forward into the
fantasy of what would happen were they to come together.
‘Luxury,’ the word which pointedly concludes the first
stanza, bears complicated meaning. It makes an oblique reference to carnality
by way of its contemporary definition, which involves excessive or superfluous
indulgence. However, its archaic dictionary definition is more direct: “lust;
lasciviousness; lechery.” Dickinson would most likely have been aware of this
antiquated definition and used it purposefully.
Stanza Two: “To a Heart in port”
In this stanza, Dickinson expresses the concentrated singularity
of her affection by using nautical metaphors. She begins the stanza with
“Futile—the Winds—/To a Heart in port—“. Here, Dickinson communicates that she
is constant, and her affection cannot be moved, even by strong winds.
The final two lines reference her having put aside the
compass and chart. Since she has found what she has been looking for, she has
put away her map and directional guide. They are no longer required.
Stanza Three: “Might I but moor”
The final stanza again employs nautical imagery. Because
of its seemingly veiled reference to intercourse, the final lines have inspired
the greatest amount of controversy. Scholars have even theorized that
Dickinson's choice of phrasing, “Might I but moor – Tonight – / In Thee!”,
indicates that she was attempting to write in a male
voice.
The
figurative language:
1. Apostrophe: the speaker in the poem is addressing someone who is not
there. We know the addressee is not in front of the speaker from line 2:
"Were I with thee," which is the subjunctive case, and it would be
completed by saying "If only I were with you," in modern vernacular,
or the way a modern person speaks.
2. There is an implied metaphor in line 2 of the second stanza, saying the heart is in a port, as if the heart
were a ship or boat. The second stanza actually seems to say the heart of the
speaker has found its favorite port and is there to stay, and a compass and
chart are not required anymore to find that place again.
3. There is alliteration in the next to the last line of stanza three
"Might I but moor" with the "m" sound getting repeated
there.

What is paragraph?
What is paragraph?
A paragraph is a collection of related
sentences dealing with a single topic.(Dana Lynn Driscoll)
Paragraph is a group of sentences that
develop a single point, idea or topic.(Adrian Chapman)
Opinion: based on the explanation
above, I agree with Dana and Andrian because a paragraph is not only collection of related sentences dealing
with a single topic, but also is a group of sentences that develop a
single point, idea or topic. We try to combine those two explation and make it in one
explanation.
How is a paragraph developed?
1. The topic sentence should identify a
general statement about the subject.
2. The writer should choose details
that make specific points about the general statement.
3. The writer should make sure the
reader can understand and relate to the specific examples.
(Roberta L. Sejnost and Sharon Thiese,
Reading and Writing Across Content Areas, 2nd ed. Corwin Press, 2007)
The explanation above is too general,
we can make it more specific. Based on our understanding, paragraph is
developed by some sentences which coherence and unite each other and has main
ide/topic sentence, supporting sentence and concluding sentence.
The Parts of a paragraph
Based on Introduction to Academic English, a paragraph has three parts: a topic
sentence, supporting sentences, and concluding sentence.
Topic sentences tells what topic the
paragraph is going to discuss
Supporting sentences give details about
the topic
Concluding sentence summarizes the main
points or restates the topic sentence in different words
Seven Types of
Paragraphs
Narration
Paragraph
A
narration paragraph tells a story of one specific event. The primary focus of
the topic sentence is to identify the event or thought, including your stance
on it.
Definition
Paragraph
A
definition paragraph explains how something functions or what its purpose is.
Compare and
Contrast
A
comparison and contrast paragraph compares two events, people or situations.
Explain why the two terms are relevant and use specific examples to portray the
similarities and differences.
Classification
Paragraph
A
classification paragraph divides items into various groups or categories. The
paragraph needs to explain each item and identify how it fits into the
classification.
Explanation
Paragraph
An
explanation paragraph clarifies a topic and uses relevant information to
support your explanation. The topic sentence should give an idea and identify
your view of the topic.
Description
Paragraph
A
description paragraph focuses on actions and uses verbs, as opposed to
adjectives or adverbs
Exposition
An
exposition paragraph is similar to an explanatory paragraph. In an exposition
paragraph, your primary focus is to be credible
Comparison
and Contrast
Comparison and contrast is a technique
that we use every day. For example, we compare and contrast courses and
teachers when we decide which classes to take. When we compare two or more
things, we tell what is similar about them. When we contrast things, we tell
what is different about them.(Introduction to
Academic English, Third Edition. 2007)
Right
Brain/Left Brain
The left and the right sides of your brain process
information in different ways. The left side is logical, rational,
linear, and verbal. The right side, on the other hand, processes information
intuitively, emotionally, creatively, and visually. Left brains think in words,
whereas right brains think in pictures. People who depend more on the left side
of their brain are list makers and analysts. They are detailed, careful, and
organized. In contrast, right-brained people are visual, intuitive, and
sensual. When a left-brained person has to make an important decision, he or she makes a mental
list of all the factors involved and arrives at a decision only after careful
analysis. When a right-brained person has to make the same decision, on the
other hand, he or she is more likely to base it on intuition and feelings. For
the example, a left- brained person automobile shopper will consider a car’s
cost, fuel efficiency, and resale value, whereas a right-brained shopper bases
a decision on how shiny the chrome is, how soft the seats are, and how smoothly
the car drives. Of course, no one is 100 percent left-brained or 100 percent
right-brained. Although one side
may be stronger, both sides normally work together.
From example above we can identify:
Topic
Sentence : The left and the right sides of your
brain process information in different ways.
Supporting
Sentences : from line 2 - 11.
Concluding Sentence :
Although
one side, may be stronger, both sides normally work togheter.

Contoh Comparisson / Contrast Praragraph :)
Narrative and Description Paragraph
Paragraph
is a group of sentences that develop a single point, idea or topic. Before you
make a paragraph, you should know what type of paragraph that you are going to
make. The types of paragraph are narrative, descriptive, comparison and
contrast, definition, explanatory, etc. Now, we are going to discuss about the
differences between 2 types of paragraph, they are narrative and descriptive
paragraph.
The
first difference between narrative and descriptive paragraph is about the
content. Narrative is story writing. When you write a narrative paragraph, you
write about events in the order that they happen. However, descriptive paragraph
is a writing appeal to the sense, so it tells how something looks, feels,
smells, tastes, and/or sounds. The example for narrative is when you tell about
an event or you experience in your writing. The example for descriptive is when
you try to describe a place or a person in your writing, and make the readers
are able to imagine about the writing.
Next
difference between narrative and descriptive is about the organization of the
paragraph. In narrative paragraph, the writer use “time order” to tell what
happened first, what happened next, what happened after that, and so on. In
contrast, the writer of descriptive use “spatial order”, it is the arrangement
of items in order by space. The examples for “time order” in narrative are now,
first, second, later, soon, finally, at last, after that, before that, etc.
However the examples for “spatial order” are at the top of, in the center, on
the left, on front of, next to, between, etc.
The
last difference of narrative and descriptive is about the compound sentence in
sentence structure. In narrative the sentences compounded by and, but, so, and
or. And joins sentences that are alike, but joins sentences that are opposite
or show contrast, so joins sentences when the second sentence expresses the
result of something described in the first sentence, or joins sentences that
give choices or alternatives. However, in descriptive the sentences compounded
by yet, for, and nor. Yet has the approximately the same meaning as but, for
has the same meaning as because, nor means “not this and not that”, use nor to
join two negative sentences.
So,
there are 3 differences of narrative and descriptive paragraph. The first
difference between narrative and descriptive paragraph is about the content,
Next difference is about the organization of the paragraph, and the last is
about the compound sentence in sentence structure.

2nd - 4th paragraph: Body
