Netbook yang Bisa Tahan 14 Jam!

Untuk pengguna dengan mobilitas tinggi, netbook yang berlayar 10 inci bisa jadi lebih praktis ketimbang notebook. Selain ringan dan ringkas, biasanya kebutuhan di 'jalan' hanyalah aktivitas ringan seperti akses internet, membuka dokumen, atau presentasi.
http://www.notebookcheck-tr.com/typo3temp/pics/d57799c3ad.jpg
Memory 2GB, HD 250GB, Windows 7, DVD-RW, Wi-fi. Harga 4 Jutaan :)
Namun, sesuai kebutuhannya untuk mengikuti aktifitas dari satu tempat ke tempat lain, dayatahan baterainya musti mumpuni. Bahkan, sebisa mungkin agar netbook yang kita pakai tak kehabisan tenaga baterai saat sedang penting-pentingya seperti meeting dengan klien. Mencari colokan listrik bisa saja kalau sedang di kantor atau di kafe. Tapi, kalau sedang di jalanan atau di tempat yang jauh dari stop kontak bagaimana?
Alangkah lebih biak mengantisipasi jangan sampai hal-hal yang tak diinginkan terjadi. Memilih produk yang punya daya tahan baterai paling lama bisa jadi pilihan terbaik. Kalau notebook standar rata-rata punya daya tahan baterai 3-4 jam, netbook Samsung NP-N230 sanggup hingga 13,8 jam berdasarkan tes BatteryMark.
Nah, taruhlah aktivitas di luar rumah mencapai 12 jam, rasanya netbook tersebut takkan habis baterai di tengah jalan. Anda pun tak perlu repot bawa-bawa kabel charger dan adaptor ke mana-mana.
Tak hanya tahan lama, produk ini juga dilengkapi fitur sleep mode yang membuatnya bisa langsung aktif dalam tiga detik. Bahkan, saat Anda tanpa sengaja mematikan netbook tersebut atau baterai habis, dengan fitur ini saat melakukan restart, tampilannya akan kembali ke bentuk semula saat mati. Tidak ada data yang hilang.
Soal bentuknya, netbook ini pun terlihat stylish dengan warna hitam mengilat dan tipis dengan ketebalan kurang dari 2,5 cm. Layarnya pun sudah menggunakan LED backlight dan antireflektif sehingga tetap jelas meski dipakai di bawah paparan sinar matahari di luar ruangan.
Fitur-fiturnya juga tak kalah dengan netbook lainnya dengan teknologi terbaru Bluetooth 3.0, Samsung Recovery Solution untuk melindungi data, dan hardisk 250 GB, memori 2 GB, dan WiFi b/g/n. Prosesor yang digunakan memang bukan yang paling baru yakni Intel Atom N470 (1,83 GHz, 667 MHz, 512MB), namun sudah lumayan mumpuni didukung Windows 7 Starter Edition.
Dari informasi yang diterima Kompas.com, produk yang diluncurkan pertengahan tahun lalu ini telah masuk ke Indonesia. Namun, belum semua dealer mendistribusikannya. Untuk mendapatkannya, Anda mungkin perlu menyiapkan biaya sekitar Rp 4 jutaan atau sedikit lebih tinggi ketimbang netbook pada umumnya. Reputasi Samsung di pasar netbook dan notebook pun terbilang baru karena Samsung Indonesia baru masuk ke pasar tersebut mulai tahun 2010 lalu.

    Smartphone Paling "Hijau" Saat Ini

    Selama ini, pertimbangan konsumen untuk memilih smartphone mungkin lebih banyak didasarkan kepada harga, fungsi, dan desainnya. Padahal, di balik pembuatan produk, melibatkan proses praproduksi hingga pemasaran yang sedikit banyak menyedot energi, sumber daya, dan menghasilkan polusi bagi lingkungan.
    Maka, penilaian terhadap aspek ramah lingkungan menjadi penting di masa kini. Konsumen pun perlu tahu, produk mana yang dihasilkan secara "hijau" dan lebih baik bagi lingkungan. Greenpeace sudah beberapa tahun rutin melakukan audit terhadap produk-produk elektronika dan melakukan pemeringkatan berdasarkan aspek-aspek lingkungan yang terukur.
    Ada beberapa jenis produk. Salah satunya smartphone yang kini lagi populer dan pasarnya besar. Smartphone paling hijau versi Greenpeace tahun 2010 jatuh ke Sony Ericsson Aspen. Smartphone tersebut mengungguli 5 smartphone yang dinominasikan lainnya, yakni Nokia N8-00, Samsung GT-S8500 (Wave), HP Palm Pixi Plus, Blackberry Pearl 3G, dan Dell Aero.
    Predikat Sony Ericsson Aspen diumumkan pada ajang Consumer Electronics Show 2011 di Las Vegas awal Januari 2011 beberapa waktu lalu. Smartphone ini memenuhi 4 kategori yang ditetapkan Greenpeace, yakni bebas material berbahaya, rendahnya konsumsi daya, siklus hidup produk, serta inovasi dan strategi marketingnya.
    Penelitian yang dilakukan Greenpeace membuktikan bahwa Sony eroicsson Aspen bebas dari material beracun sperti PVC dan BFR. Smartphone seberat 130 gram yang diperkenalkan pada Februari 2010 ini juga dinyatakan bebas dari Phtalate dan Beryllium.
    Sementara, dalam hal siklus produk seperti lamanya garansi, kemampuan untuk di-upgrade, komponen plastik terdegradasi dan post consumer, produk ini juga mendapat score tinggi. Sementara, konsumsi energi dari baterai juga tergolong rendah.
    Poin yang didapatkan Sony Ericsson Aspen dalam survei Greenpeace adalah 6,21. Nokia N8-00 yang ada di posisi kedua hanya memiliki point 5,7. Dengan predikat yang diraihnya, tak heran jika dalam promosinya, Sony Ericsson Aspen dikatakan terbuat dari eco friendly materials.
    Di luar soal "hijau"-nya, smartphone ini memiliki fitur lumayan. Memakai sistem operasi Windows Version 6,5, smartphone ini tersedia dalam QWERTY dan Touchscreen.Selain itu juga dilengkapi WiFi, penyimpanan sebesar 100 MB dan juga fitur media sosial seperti Facebook dan Twitter.

    Orang Buta Bisa Menyetir Mobil?

    Hari ini akan menjadi hari bersejarah bagi para penderita mata buta di seluruh dunia. Karena hari ini seorang pria buta akan mengendarai mobil secara aman untuk pertama kali dengan bantuan teknologi sensor yang dibenamkan di dalam mobil Ford Escape. Dialah Mark Riccobono, bukan pesulap yang ingin atraksi melainkan pria yang benar-benar menderita buta sejak usia 5 tahun. Tenang, Anda tidak perlu masuk ke dalam rumah lantaran khawatir tertabrak mobilnya. Karena pertunjukan itu tidak digelar di Indonesia melainkan di sirkuit tertutup Daytona International Speedway.
    Ini adalah buah hasil kerja keras National Federation of the Blind (NFB) sejak mengadakan kompetisi terbuka sejak lima tahun lalu untuk menciptakan teknologi terobosan yang memungkinkan para penderita mata buta dapat mengendarai mobil.
    Akhirnya, ajang kompetisi bertajuk NFB Blind Driver Challenge itu menemukan pemenangnya, yakni Virginia Tech beserta laboratorium robot dan mekaniknya. Mereka berhasil menciptakan cara baru menyetir dengan menggunakan teknologi antarmuka non-visual yang memungkinkan orang buta dapat menyetir tanpa bantuan orang lain.
    Sebentar lagi, momen itu akan datang. Pada hari Sabtu pagi waktu setempat, Riccobono akan mengendarai Ford Escape yang telah dilengkapi teknologi baru itu di Daytona International Speedway.
    "Aku buta sejak usia 5 tahun. Jadi, Aku tidak pernah mencoba untuk membuat surat izin mengemudi atau menyetir mobil sendiri tanpa arahan orang lain di sampingku," ujarnya, dikutip VIVAnews dari TG Daily, Sabtu 29 Januari 2011.
    "Inisiatif NFB untuk mengadakan kompetisi Blind Driver Challenge sangat luar biasa. Ia dapat mengubah sesuatu yang tidak mungkin menjadi kenyataan. Aku tidak sabar untuk naik ke kursi supir dan mendemonstrasikannya ke dunia. Aku ingin buktikan bahwa mata buta tidak selamanya membatasiku untuk terlibat dalam aktivitas orang normal," kata Riccobono.

    Van Bommel Dikartu Merah Tapi Milan Menang Lagi

    Mark van Bommel dikeluarkan dari lapangan dalam debutnya bersama AC Milan tetapi klub di puncak klasemen Seri A itu tetap meraih tiga poin setelah menang 2-0 di Catania, Sabtu waktu setempat.
    Bermain hampir sepanjang laga babak kedua dengan 10 orang, gol akhirnya lahir juga melalui Robinho dan Zlatan Ibrahimovic, sehingga Milan unggul tujuh poin di puncak klasemen menjelang laga Minggu.
    Pencetak gol Robinho menyatakan perjalanan tim calon "scudetto" itu tetap berlangsung baik.
    "Saya gembira dengan kemenangan ini kendati lawan kami bertahan amat kuat," katanya kepada SkySport.
    "Kami masih di puncak tapi masih ada 15 sampai 20 pertandingan lagi, sehingga kami harus mempertahankan perjalanan bagus ini," katanya.
    "Pertandingan dengan 10 orang terasa berat dan saya kira Van Bommel tidak harus mendapatkan kartu kuning kedua," katanya.
    Pelatih Milan Massimiliano Allegri mengatakan, Van Bommel harus belajar beradaptasi dengan sepak bola Italia dan ia memuji penampilan Ibrahimovic.
    "Van Bommel butuh waktu menyatukan permainannya dengan tim, tapi ini baru merupakan penampilannya yang kedua (menyusul debutnya di Piala Italia pertengahan minggu lalu)," katanya.
    "Anda tidak mendapat kartu hukuman dengan kesalahan demikian di Jerman sehingga ia harus berusaha keras," katanya.
    "(Ibrahimovic) tampil terbaik sepanjang musim dan karirnya," katanya.
    "Ia amat antusias, ia merasa sebagai pimpinan dan bertahan dengan kuat. Itu hal terpenting yang harus dilakukannya dan bila ia melakukan itu maka semua pemain akan melakukan hal sama," katanya.
    Pada pertandingan sebelumnya, pemain depan asal Ceko Libor Kozak mencetak dua gol ketika Lazio mengalahkan Fiorentina 2-0 sehingga peluang mendapatkan gelar masih terbuka.
    Mereka terpaut tujuh poin dengan Milan dan naik ke urutan ketiga menjelang pertandingan Minggu.

    Hacker Bikin "Fan Page" Palsu Mark Zuckerberg

    Kabar kalau halaman fan page Mark Zuckerberg, pendiri dan CEO Facebook berhasil disusupi hacker jadi perbincangan hangat. Belum ada penjelasan resmi apa yang terjadi sebenarnya.
    Kini yang berkembang adalah bermacam spekulasi dari para pengguna Facebook yang sempat melacak halaman situs web yang katanya sempat menulis pesan sindiran untuk Mark Zuckerberg. Satu-satunya bukti hanyalah screenshot yang dilaporkan situs web Techcrunch.com serta klaim beberapa orang yang sempat merekamnya. Halaman cache di search engine Google mapun Bing tak menyimpan pesan tersebut.
    Spekulasi paling kuat, seseorang mungkin membuat alamat fan page palsu Mark Zuckerberg yang identik dengan fan page aslinya. Sebab, tak lama setAlah ada laporan fan page tersebut disusupi pesan dari hacker, banyak yang melaporkan halaman fan page dimaksud tak dapat diakses. Facebook mungkin telah mengatasi masalah fan page ganda dan kini telah berhasil mengatasinya dan membuat kedua alamat fan page bisa sinkron ke alamat yang sebenarnya.
    Bahkan, salah seorang pembaca Techcrunch. com mengaku kalau link alamat situs web yang melaporkan adanya hacker yang menyusup itu tidak dapat di-share langsung ke Facebook. Saat akan di-share, muncul pesna bahwa link tersebut mengandung spam. Hal ini menimbulkan spekulasi bahwa tim teknis Facebook mencoba menghalangi agar berita tak tersebar. meski demikian, posting dari hacker di fan page yang diduga palsu terlanjur di-like ribuan orang.
    Bahkan, ada spekulasi juga kalau Techcrunch.com sengaja membuat halaman palsu dan merekayasa berita sendiri. Sebab, alamat yang di-link situs web tersebut ternyata bukan ke halaman page melainkan ke halaman user. Facebook belum memberi komentar resmi atas berita tersebut.

    Efek Buruk Kecanduan Pornografi

    Di dunia kesehatan, menonton film atau gambar porno dikenal dapat membantu meningkatkan kualitas hubungan seksual yang telah menurun. Tapi jangan berlebihan apalagi sampai kecanduan. Pria yang kecanduan, dalam jangka panjang, rentan mendapat masalah seksual.
    Studi menunjukkan pria yang memanjakan diri dengan rangsangan visual seperti pornografi, rentan terkena gangguan yang disebut Sexual Attention Deficit Disorder (SADD). Dalam jangka panjang, penderitanya akan sulit memiliki hubungan seksual yang sehat dengan pasangannya. Sebab, stimulus seks hanya dapat dipicu melalui gambar visual atau grafis, bukan wanita sebenarnya.
    Pakar kesehatan seksual, Dr Rajan Bhonsle, menjelaskan dampak pornografi dan sejenisnya terhadap hubungan dewasa. SADD dapat ditelusuri dari beberapa sebab utama.
    Bentuk eksplisit seperti pornografi, pedofilia, voyeurisme, aktivitas seks lebih dari dua orang dan aktivitas menyimpang lain menimbulkan ketidakpekaan saat bercinta. Dalam jangka panjang, mereka akan sulit merasakan kenikmatan dengan aktivitas seks normal. Sehingga, mereka cenderung merasakan seks menyimpang sebagai kebutuhan agar menjaga rangsangan seks tetap tinggi.
    Seperti dikutip Times of India, aktivitas seksual dengan rangsangan gambar atau video porno membuat seseorang sulit bila dirangsang pasangan. Ini pula yang menimbulkan permasalahan dalam pernikahan dalam waktu lama.
    Penyebab umum lain SADD adalah hubungan seksual dengan banyak pasangan sebelum menikah. Karena terbiasa dengan banyak pasangan sulit meletupkan gairah seks hanya pada satu pasangan.
    Pria kecanduan seks biasanya telah memiliki gambaran tentang bagaimana wanita seharusnya. Dan, pasangan yang tidak sesuai harapannya mungkin menimbulkan kekecewaan yang berpengaruh pada gairah seks. Komunikasi intens akan membantunya lepas dari masalah ini.
    Berbeda dari kecanduan umumnya, mengobati kecanduan seksual sangat rumit dan butuh waktu lama. Ada baiknya menjauhkan anak dan remaja dari pornografi sejak dini.
    Menurut Bhonsle, ada beberapa cara untuk menanganinya:
    - Hilangkan pornografi
    Saat gairah memuncak, lebih baik mengenang memori dan sejarah erotis Anda ketimbang sambil melihat gambar atau video porno.
    - Dekat dengan pasangan
    Saling berbagi fantasi seks dan tak malu bereksperimen membuat gairah fisik dan seksual tetap terjaga.

    Ayah Syahrini Meninggal Dunia

    Pesan Ayahanda: Syahrini, Jangan Tinggalkan Salat. Syahrini terlihat terpukul di hadapan jenazah ayahanda, Dadang Jaelani, yang menutup mata di usia 60 tahun. Sebelum meninggal, Syahrini pun sempat diberi pesan oleh sang ayah.

    JAKARTA - Syahrini terlihat terpukul di hadapan jenazah ayahanda, Dadang Jaelani, yang menutup mata di usia 60 tahun. Sebelum meninggal, Syahrini pun sempat diberi pesan oleh sang ayah.
    "Ya, papa pesan agar jaga keluarga baik-baik. Jangan lupa salat lima waktu," papar kakak kandung Syahrini, Iwan, kepada wartawan di rumahnya, Jalan Bitung I, NO 12 Haur Jaya, Kebon Pedas, Tanah Sereal, Kota Bogor, Jumat (28/1/2011).
    Mungkin inilah alasan Syahrini yang tidak hadir dalam acara malam penganugerahan 'Dahsyat Awards 2011', Rabu, 26 Januari 2011 lalu. Saat itu, Syahrini dikabarkan kurang sehat.
    Namun dari kakak kandung Syahrini, Iwan, ayahanda telah koma sejak dua hari sebelum tutup usia, yakni sejak Rabu lalu. Almarhum Dadang Jaelani meninggal dunia di RS MMC Jakarta pukul 04.50 WIB, setelah dirawat selama dua bulan.
    Syahrini sendiri belum bisa dimintai komentar. Sejak tiba di rumah, Syahrini terus menangis di hadapan jenazah ayahanda.
    Almarhum Dadang Jaelani meninggalkan tiga anak, Iwan, Syahrini, dan Ridwan. Rencananya, almarhum akan dimakamkan usai salat Jumat, di TPU Belender, Kebon Pedas, Tanah Sereal, Bogor.

    Tora Sudiro Rogoh Jutaan Rupiah Demi Hobi Sepeda

    Memiliki hobi sepeda dengan sistem fix gear, Tora Sudiro menularkan kegandrungannya kepada istri. Tak tanggung-tanggung, dia membuatkan Mieke Amalia sepeda dengan model yang sama seperti miliknya.

    JAKARTA - Memiliki hobi sepeda dengan sistem fix gear, Tora Sudiro menularkan kegandrungannya kepada sang istri. Tak tanggung-tanggung, dia membuatkan Mieke Amalia sepeda dengan model yang sama seperti miliknya.
    "Iya, lagi suka sepeda fixie. Mieke sejak dibuatin sepeda, jadi suka juga. Tadinya enggak terlalu suka. Kalau saya, dari kecil sudah suka sepeda. Tiba-tiba ada fixie, ya sudah sekalian buatin Mieke. Dari situ jadi sering main," papar Tora saat ditemui di The Luv's Bar & Dine, Citywalk Sudirman, Jakarta, Kamis (27/1/2011).
    Kecintaan terhadap kegiatan bersepeda membuat Tora tak segan mengayuh sepedanya ke tempat yang jauh dari rumahnya. Bintang film Arisan ini pernah menjelajah hingga ke Bogor menggunakan sepeda fixie andalannya bersama komunitas pecinta sepeda.
    "Biasannya gowes itu awalnya dari Citos, Jakarta Selatan, terus berakhir di lokasi car free day, biasanya di FX Sudirman setiap hari Rabu. Kadang gowes sendiri, kadang sama Mieke juga," tuturnya.
    Disinggung mengenai berapa anggaran yang dikeluarkan untuk merakit sebuah sepeda, Tora tak menyebutkan secara pasti nominal untuk memuaskan hobinya. Dia hanya menyebut kisaran rata-rata.
    "Banyak yang bikin fixie enggak mahal-mahal juga. Tergantung di mana kita ngerakitnya aja. Saya kan berat badannya 87 kg, jadi enggak mungkin pakai barang begitu (harga murah). Harganya antara Rp1 juta-Rp60 juta. Tapi menurut saya kalau Rp60 juta itu sih gila," tandasnya.

     

    Tonton Aksi Terbaru James Bond!

    Setelah mengalami gonjang-ganjing masalah finansial, rumah produksi MGM akhirnya kembali menggarap film produksi 'Bond 23'.

    Proses produksinya akan segera dilakukan akhir tahun ini. Sebelumnya, produksi tersebut sempat terhambat karena kekurangan dana, saat MGM dikabarkan hampir bangkrut.

    Namun, akhirnya proyek film legendaris itu berhasil terealisasi dan siap diluncurkan 9 November 2012 mendatang. Daniel Craig, tetap menjadi aktor tunggal yang akan memerankan tokoh agen rahasia asal Inggris, James Bond.

    Menurut keterangan pers yang dirilis MGM dan dikutip dari Aceshowbiz , film James Bond ke-23 ini akan dibesut oleh tangan dingin Sam Mendes, yang sukses menggarap 'Road to Perdition'.

    Sedangkan, untuk penulis ceritanya sendiri akan diambil alih oleh Neal Purvis, Robert Wade dan John Logan, penulis skenario 'The Aviator'.

    Jalan cerita film ini masih dirahasiakan dan belum boleh dirilis di media. Namun selain Craig, aktor Judi Dench juga akan bergabung dan  berperan sebagai MI6 atau 'M'. (pet)

    Cerita Harry Potter Bagian 2 Akan Diubah

     Kisah petualangan fenomenal 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1'  sungguh sukses menyedot penonton di seluruh dunia. Mereka rela antre tiket demi menyaksikan film ini. Jutaan penonton di seluruh dunia itu mungkin masih penasaran bagaimana kelanjutan petualangan tiga penyisir; Harry, Ron dan Hermione. Di tengah rasa ingin tahu itu, segera muncul film Harry Potter bagian 2. Hanya saja pada bagian ini akan ada modifikasi pada cerita dan lokasi setting-nya.  Professor Snape, yang seharusnya tewas di Shrieking Shack, akan  berganti lokasi ke sebuah rumah perahu.

    Perpindahan lokasi itu, kata sutradara Andrew Ackland-Snow, dilakukan agar kisah kematian Snape bisa menjadi lebih dramatis dengan sedikit sentuhan romantis.

    "Kami juga membuat rumah perahunya secara khusus, sebagai tempat kejadian perkara dimana Snape akan tewas di sana. Kalau dalam bukunya, Snape mati di Shrieking Shack. Tapi menurut kami tempat itu kurang dramatis," kata Snow.

    Perubahan skenario ini juga sudah disetujui oleh J.K. Rowling , si pengarang buku. Menurut Snow, Rowling sangat menyambut baik ide brilian ini.

    "Sebelum mengubah cerita, aku banyak bertanya dan berdiskusi dengan Rowling. Aku bilang padanya, akan membuat set rumah kristal dan rumah perahu, yang akan dijadikan tempat Professor Snape tewas secara tragis namun di tempat yang romantis. Dan dia suka dengan ide tersebut," kata Snow panjang lebar pada laman The Hot Hits.

    Krisdayanti Berharap Aurel Mau Tinggal di Dili

    Krisdayanti menegaskan, kalau pernikahannya sudah syah dengan Raul Lemos, maka salah satu yang akan dilakukan adalah menagih janji mantan suaminya, Anang Hermansyah, untuk mengizinkan anak-anak tinggal bersamanya.

    Krisdayanti menegaskan, kalau pernikahannya sudah syah dengan Raul Lemos, maka salah satu yang akan dilakukan adalah menagih janji mantan suaminya, Anang Hermansyah , untuk mengizinkan anak-anak tinggal bersamanya.
    "Iya (nagih janji) jelas, itu janji yang benar-benar bisa membuat hati saya besar. Karena kan anak-anak sendiri, apalagi anak-anak dengar nikahnya diundur-undur. Mungkin dia sudah pengen tidur sama aku," ungkap Krisdayanti saat ditemui di acara DAHSYAT di Studio RCTI, Kebon Jeruk, Jakarta Barat, Kamis (27/01/2011).
    Kemungkinan akan mengajak anak-anak pindah ke Dili, Krisdayanti belum bisa banyak bicara, namun dirinya berharap perlahan-lahan keinginannya bisa terwujud.
    "Aurel bilang di sana nggak ada mal, jangan salah kalau di Dili sudah mulai ada mal, ya mudah-mudahan lah. semua perlu waktu," terangnya.

    Cinderella | Narrative Text

    Once upon a time, there was a young girl named Cinderella. She lived with her step mother and two step sisters.
    The step mother and sisters were conceited and bad tempered. They treated Cinderella very badly. Her step mother made Cinderella do the hardest works in the house; such as scrubbing the floor, cleaning the pot and pan and preparing the food for the family. The two step sisters, on the other hand, did not work about the house. Their mother gave them many handsome dresses to wear.
    One day, the two step sister received an invitation to the ball that the king’s son was going to give at the palace. They were excited about this and spent so much time choosing the dresses they would wear. At last, the day of the ball came, and away went the sisters to it. Cinderella could not help crying after they had left.
    “Why are crying, Cinderella?” a voice asked. She looked up and saw her fairy godmother standing beside her, “because I want so much to go to the ball” said Cinderella. “Well” said the godmother,”you’ve been such a cheerful, hardworking, uncomplaining girl that I am going to see that you do go to the ball”.
    Magically, the fairy godmother changed a pumpkin into a fine coach and mice into a coachman and two footmen. Her godmother tapped Cinderella’s raged dress with her wand, and it became a beautiful ball gown. Then she gave her a pair of pretty glass slippers. “Now, Cinderella”, she said; “You must leave before midnight”. Then away she drove in her beautiful coach.

Her step sisters tried on the slipper but it was too small for them, no matter how hard they squeezed their toes into it. In the end, the king’s page let Cinderella try on the slipper. She stuck out her foot and the page slipped the slipper on. It fitted perfectly.
    Finally, she was driven to the palace. The king’s son was overjoyed to see her again. They were married and live happily ever after.

    Notes on Generic Structure of Narrative Text
    Orientation: it means to introduce the participants or the characters of the story with the time and place set. Orientation actually exists in every text type though it has different term. In this story, the first paragraph is clearly seen to introduce the participants of the Cinderella Story. They were Cinderella her self as the main character of the story, her step mother which treated Cinderella badly, and her steps sister which supported her mother to make Cinderella was treated very badly. Cinderella was introduced as a hero in this story. She struggled against the bad treatment from her step mother and sisters.
    Complication: it is such the crisis of the story. If there is not the crisis, the story is not a narrative text. In a long story, the complication appears in several situations. It means that some time there is more then one complication. In this Cinderella story, we can see clearly that there are Major Complication and Minor Complication.
    The second paragraph is the major complication of this Cinderella story. Cinderella got bad treatment from her stepmother. It is the bad crisis which drives into several minor complications which Cinderella has to overcome.
    Resolution: it is the final series of the events which happen in the story. The resolution can be good or bad. The point is that it has been accomplished by the characters. Like complication, there are Major Resolution and Minor Resolution.
    In the last paragraph, it is said that finally Cinderella lived happily. It is the happy resolution of the bad treatment.

    The Three Feathers | Narrative Text

    The Three Feathers

    There was once upon a time a king who had three sons, of whom two were clever and wise, but the third did not speak much, and was simple, and was called the simpleton. When the king had become old and weak, and was thinking of his end, he did not know which of his sons should inherit the kingdom after him. Then he said to them, go forth, and he who brings me the most beautiful carpet shall be king after my death.

    And that there should be no dispute amongst them, he took them outside his castle, blew three feathers in the air, and said, you shall go as they fly. One feather flew to the east, the other to the west, but the third flew straight up and did not fly far, but soon fell to the ground.

    And now one brother went to the right, and the other to the left, and they mocked simpleton, who was forced to stay where the third feather had fallen. He sat down and was sad. Then all at once he saw that there was a trap-door close by the feather. He raised it up, found some steps, and went down them. Then he came to another door, knocked at it, and heard somebody inside calling - little green waiting-maid, waiting-maid with the limping leg, little dog of the limping leg, hop hither and thither, and quickly see who is without.

    The door opened, and he saw a great, fat toad sitting, and round about her a crowd of little toads. The fat toad asked what he wanted. He answered, I should like to have the prettiest and finest carpet in the world. Then she called a young one and said - little green waiting-maid, waiting-maid with the limping leg, little dog of the limping leg, hop hither and thither, and bring me the great box.

    The young toad brought the box, and the fat toad opened it, and gave simpleton a carpet out of it, so beautiful and so fine, that on the earth above, none could have been woven like it. Then he thanked her, and climbed out again.

    The two others, however, had looked on their youngest brother as so stupid that they believed he would find and bring nothing at all. Why should we give ourselves a great deal of trouble searching, said they, and got some coarse handkerchiefs from the first shepherds' wives whom they met, and carried them home to the king.

    At the same time simpleton also came back, and brought his beautiful carpet, and when the king saw it he was astonished, and said, if justice be done, the kingdom belongs to the youngest. But the two others let their father have no peace, and said that it was impossible that simpleton, who in everything lacked understanding,
    should be king, and entreated him to make a new agreement with them.

    Then the father said, he who brings me the most beautiful ring shall inherit the kingdom, and led the three brothers out, and blew into the air three feathers, which they were to follow. Those of the two eldest again went east and west, and simpleton's feather flew straight up, and fell down near the door into the earth.

    Then he went down again to the fat toad, and told her that he wanted the most beautiful ring. She at once ordered her big box to be brought, and gave him a ring out of it, which sparkled with jewels, and was so beautiful that no goldsmith on earth would have been able to make it.

    The two eldest laughed at simpleton for going to seek a golden ring. They gave themselves no trouble, but knocked the nails out of an old carriage-ring, and took it to the king, but when simpleton produced his golden ring, his father again said, the kingdom belongs to him. The two eldest did not cease from tormenting the king until he made a third condition, and declared that the one who brought the most
    beautiful woman home, should have the kingdom. He again blew the three feathers into the air, and they flew as before.

    Then simpleton without more ado went down to the fat toad, and said, I am to take home the most beautiful woman. Oh, answered the toad, the most beautiful woman. She is not at hand at the moment, but still you shall have her. She gave him a yellow turnip which had been hollowed out, to which six mice were harnessed. Then simpleton said quite mournfully, what am I to do with that. The toad answered,
    just put one of my little toads into it. Then he seized one at random out of the circle, and put her into the yellow coach, but hardly was she seated inside it than she turned into a wonderfully beautiful maiden, and the turnip into a coach, and the six mice into horses. So he kissed her, and drove off quickly with the horses, and
    took her to the king.

    His brothers, who came afterwards, had given themselves no trouble at all looking for beautiful girls, but had brought with them the first peasant women they chanced to meet. When the king saw them he said, after my death the kingdom belongs to my youngest son. But the two eldest deafened the king's ears afresh with their clamor, we cannot consent to simpleton's being king, and demanded that the one whose wife could leap through a ring which hung in the centre of the hall should have the preference. They thought, the peasant women can do that easily, they are strong enough, but the delicate maiden will jump herself to death.

    The aged king agreed likewise to this. Then the two peasant women jumped, and jumped through the ring, but were so clumsy that they fell, and their coarse arms and legs broke in two. And then the pretty maiden whom simpleton had brought with him, sprang, and sprang through as lightly as a deer, and all opposition had to cease. So he received the crown, and has ruled wisely for a length of time.

     The Old Woman and The Sparrow

    Once upon a time, there lived a kind hearted man and his wife. One morning, his wife found a poor little sparrow. She took it gently and fed it. To show its gratitude, the sparrow stayed with them and sang every morning. But there was an ill-tempered old woman who didn't like the sparrow. She cut the sparrow's tongue. That's why the bird flew away to its previous nest.

    Knowing that their sparrow flew away, the kind man and his wife looked for the sparrow. They walked a long way, crossed the bridges, climbed the mountains and passed the woods.

    At last, they could find the sparrow's nest. The sparrow welcomed them and provided a feast for them. Before they went home, the sparrow brought two baskets; one was large and looked heavy, and the other one was small and light. The sparrow asked them to choose only one. They chose the small and that was the best choice. There were many rolls of silk and piles of gold in it.

    Being jealous, the ill-tempered old woman did the same thing as the kind man and his wife did. She chose the big basket which actually contained wasps and venomous crawlers, such as scorpions, centipedes, and other horrible creatures. Finally, aaathey stung and bit her to death.
