Advice

As Strong As Young People and an Advice

Analized based on the book of Ag. Hartana

Nasreddin, Nasreddin’s Wife, Friends, and Pottery Seller

Nasreddin the cleaver man

ABSTRACT

 In this analytical work, my background is just wants to share my experience about the importance of respecting each other's weaknesses, in this story there is a man named Nasreddin who is dubbed as a wise man and his friend who feels he is very great and very strong where in the story is that he boasted of his wealth, education and age where Nasreddin who was older than him was not respected by him at all, but other friends were offended and even surprised to Nasreddin who was not offended by the statement which should not have been appropriate to convey because among them there were older people who did not have to hear the statement.

A. Introduction

The emergence of this problem began when Nasredin and his friends discussed crimes committed by young people in their area recently, and in the end, their topics continued to change and vilify their friends and compare one person to another starting from the point of view of age, ability and others, sometimes they discuss that old people are wiser than younger people, and vice versa among them say but older people are not stronger than young people. Among them there was an old man named Nasreddin who was called a very wise person and as an advisor. Nasreddin is always ridiculed by his friends because he is a poor man who often experiences hunger, when his wife asks for money there is always nothing, but Nasreddin always has a way to fulfill his wife's request.

B. Research Method

The beginning of this conversation was when Nasreddin and his friends met and were discussing the crimes committed by young people, when their topic immediately changed, they discussed and compared the morality of young people with their parents, at that time. The older of them was Nasreddin and said that the morality of the old man was better and wiser than the young, but one of them said that although the old man had good morality and was wiser, the young man was much stronger and other themes. agree with this question where they say that young people are very strong and can do heavy work in contrast to old people who can't even do anything, because among them there is Nasreddin who is older than them and then laughs and one of them had a bad argument with the intention of offending Nasreddin. 

But Nasreddin could only stand by. But in the end Nasreddin said that all of your statements made no sense, then Nasreddin stated that there was no difference between young people and old people at all, and friends did not accept it and were told to withdraw their words, then Nasreddin immediately said "at in the back corner of my house there is a big rock, at that time I was young and I tried to lift the stone but I failed because I was young and not strong enough, for that I thought I should wait for the next few years, and now I am old, some the other day I tried to move it but still I can't do it, so the conclusion is that old people are as strong as young people. Then Nasreddin is always despised and laughed at by his friends because he is a poor person who has nothing.

C. Result and Discussing

     1. Character and characterization

          a. Nasreddin as a wise man

Nasreddin is the main character in the story, Nasreddin is a very wise person and also as an advisor, all who are considered by his friends to be unreasonable will be explained and proven by Nasreddin

Data 1:

When they talk about differences.

Friend 1: old people are wiser than young people

Friend 2: I agree, but old people are not stronger than young people.

Nasreddin: everything you guys talk about is not true, older and younger people are the same.

Friend 1 dan 2: what do you mean, it's obvious that older and younger people are very different in ability

Nasreddin: in the back corner of my house there is a big rock, at that time I was young and I tried to lift the stone but I failed because I was young and not strong enough, for that I thought I should wait for the next few years, and now I have old people, a few days ago I tried to move it but still I can't do it, so the conclusion is that old people are as strong as young people. (His friends can only be silent and reluctantly accept it).

Data 2:

Nasreddin is being advised but he feel upset

          Nasreddin was a poor man, when his wife asked for money to buy rice but Nasreddin could not fulfill it, but Nasreddin looked for a way to fulfill it, when Nasreddin got a job from a pottery seller, he offered himself to a person he just met to bring a basket that he it's quite heavy.

Pottery Seller: if you help me to bring this item of mine to my house, I will examine you three Advice

Nasredin: (Nasreddin reluctantly accepted the offer because what he wanted was money) well then I will bring it for you.

Pottery Seller: (gives first advice) don't believe it when people say that being hungry is much better than being too full.

Nasreddin: very good advice, how about the second advice.

Pottery Seller: the second, don’t believe anyone telling you that walking for a long distance is better than riding a horse. And the last is don’t believe anyone saying that the other porter are more foolish than you.

Nasreddin: hearing the answer, Nasreddin dropped the basket at once and the bowls and cups were broken into piece than said don’t believe anyone saying that these bowls and cups are not broken.

          b. Nasreddi’s wife, Friends, and Pottery seller

They are a supporting actor, the characters of the friends in this story are different, and one of them is usually only to compare others, annoying others including his friend Nasreddin, and the pottery seller is an advisor who makes Nasreddin annoyed with his advice.

D. Conclution

Based on the results and discussion above, it can be concluded that in discussing a topic, it is good for the storyline to be directed and not, we do not need to offend others, compare us to others, and must respect people who are older than us, as in the story. Above while chatting and mentioning Nasredin because He is a poor person then said old people are not stronger than young people and can't even do anything. 

And then before conveying something, we must pay attention to who we are talking to, especially if it's someone we just met, as in the research above when Nasreddin offered to help lift and carry the Pottery seller basket containing bowls and cups, the Pottery seller. Tried to advice Nasreddin which in the end his advice made Nasredin annoyed with him and then Nasredin gave him advice in response to the pottery seller's statements which in the end annoyed himself. In the sense that we have to adjust first before taking an action.
