According to him, with his instincts and perception as an author, he can penetrate everything that he would not have been able to reach had he not been an author.

In this wishful thinking, it means that in the story he writes, for example, he should not praise people who are actually stupid, or should take a stand against someone who is obnoxious even though no one knows about it. Budi Darma's fierceness in being honest with writers is not only directed at prose writers, but also essayists and poetry writers. 

In "Rebels and Pandai Sudden", he states that Indonesian literature needs rebellious rebels with brains on how to work better and write better. But rebels who use these brains are rare because rebelliousness is not easy by nature. What was scattered, he added, were only the rebels who imitated abstract painters who were not good at drawing, then scribbled on the canvas at will and became an abstract painter.

The last topic is is how to formulate Budi Darma's essay model which was presented by Okky Madasari, Eka Budianta, Nurinwa Ki S. Hendrowinoto, and Much. Khoiri. 

This section will discuss about language style in Budi Darma's essay, style of presentation of content and meaning in Budi Darma's essay, structure of Budi Darma's essay, and variety of Budi Darma's essay. Okky Madasari said that according to Budi Darma, a writer must have good intellectualism. 

The intellect of a writer determines the quality of his work. One of the things that can make a work bad is that it's nothing more than just a writer's autobiography. 

According to critics, Budi Darma tends to place the meaning of intellectualism in terms of abstraction and thinking abilities. Intellectuals for Budi Darma are those who are able to think at the level of abstraction. 

Budi Darma does not see involvement in community problems as part of intellectual work. Budi Darma gives clear boundaries between the difference between a writer and a pedicab driver or batik maker. At this point, it can be seen that Budi Darma is still trapped in the romanticism and illusion of the author's position as "the great" and has a higher degree. The realization that the writer is also a handyman is not visible in Budi Darma's idea.

"Those writers who are actually talented and persistent, are forced to not have a good atmosphere for writing." -- Budi Darma

Yani Islamic Hospital, Surabaya, East Java. with the symposium and this paper is used to commemorate the works given by Budi Darma.
