Book Review: The Great Gatsby (Chapter 1-3)

Picture taken from en.wikipedia.org through www.google.com


I have read a great novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald titled The Great Gatsby.  When the first time I read it, immediately I was impressed by a saying on the second paragraph, that is, “Whenever you feel like criticizing any one, just remember that all the people in this world haven’t had the advantages that you’ve had.” This sentence that I love the most in Chapter 1 is explained by Nick in an opening paragraph. It was written there that it is advice given by Nick’s father in his younger and more vulnerable years. This quote, for me, is exactly related to my life. I realized that I often mad with someone and, whether directly or not, I always criticize them. But after I read this quote, whenever I am mad with someone, I remember this great quote and, believe it or not, it successes to calm me down.

EUDC 2012, Exist in Young Age by Developing Critical Thinking



It’s an honor to become one of the committee of Edsa Undip Debating Competition (EUDC) 2012, one of big events held by Academic Department of English Department Students Association (EDSA) Diponegoro University. In this tiring yet so amazing event, I became a public relations director. My job was making sure that people can get information about this event and also finding some media partners for this event.
