INDIVIDUAL JOURNAL-THE CHASER
I don’t
think that I like the story, because I didn’t get anything from the story. I
can’t find the climax and it is like the story is hanging. Just tells someone
who persuade the other one to buy a bottle of liquid, which expensive. And
tells how the old man make sure to Alan in order that he want to buy the
potion.
But
there’s a part that I like when the old man show glove cleaner and explain the
usefulness of it. And Alan said “I want nothing of that short.” It is explain
that people usually like instant things. They are lazy to try something but
always looking for a shortcut to get something. An example in our real life,
many people think that money is important. It is true, money help people to
survive. But it is make them do anything to get money quickly. So they are
corruption, steal, killed each other. And it happened in school too. Many of
students cheating on test or ask other people to do their homework, just to get
a good mark without study.
I ever
experienced like what Alan did when I was in Junior high school. I wasn’t
confident with my brown skin. And from my friend’s suggestion, I bought a
medicine like ointment which can make our skin whiter. It mean that my friend
was success to persuade me. And do you
guess what happened then? My skin was reddish and irritation. I realize that my
action was bad and showed that I wasn’t grateful with the body I have.
Eventhough
I don’t know what happened to Alan after bought the potion but I think that the
writer want to tells us there’re so many things which can help us, like the
potion of love, or potion to make our body taller or looking for shaman to know
how to get money instantly. But is there any guarantee that our life will
happy? The writer wrote “Lives need cleaning sometimes.” Cleaning for our
pessimism and lack of confident that we are able to deal with our problem.
I agree
with this message because I’m a fighter in facing any difficulties in life. I
want to survive and prove to everyone that I’m the winner, I can pass my study
eventhough I dislike the subject.
