Tanda Tanya

Andai jatuh itu mudah,

pasti hatiku tidak lebam sendiri seperti ini.

Ini lebam karena tanda tanya.

Iya, aku pasrah ditinju tanda tanya.

Sungguh aku ingin menumbuk tanda tanya,

lalu diseduh dengan gula dan kopi,

terlarut dalam cangkir dan kusesap hingga tetes terakhir.

Jika kau ingin tahu, jumlah tanda tanya di kepalaku ini rasanya

sebanding dengan jumlah bayanganmu di talamus.

Boleh minta tolong untuk terakhir kali?

Beri aku satu pasti dan semua tanya akan mati.

The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane

PT. Gramedia Pustaka Utama

By Kate DiCamillo                             

Fiction/Young Adult Novel

This beautiful story, started with the introduction of the main character, Edward Tulane. Edward, being a porcelain rabbit doll, thought himself as a very magnificent doll. He was owned by a ten years old girl, named Abilene Tulane. As a doll, Edward felt nothing, even to his owner who loves him very much. One night, Abilene’s grandmother told her a story about a princess who can’t love just like Edward Tulane, at the end of her story time, Abilene’s grandmother whispered to Edward that she was disappointed in him.

        One day, when Abilene’s family and Edward were on a cruised to England, accidentally, Edward was thrown into the sea. Edward was stranded on the depth of the sea and for the first time, Edward felt fear. It was long before Edward was saved by a Fisherman named Lawrence, and here began the journey of Edward Tulane, the rabbit doll that learnt to love as he lost all the people that he love. And, it was not a short journey.

        Bull the tramp and his dog, Lucy. Little boy named Bryce and his little sister named Sarah Ruth are the people that had taught him about love and had to be taken away from him cruelly.

        In this novel, Kate DiCamillo sent her message in a very beautiful form. The journey of Edward Tulane was told with an emotional scene that will make everyone who read it feel sympathy for the doll, as he kept being separated by the ones he loved.

        As a young adult novel, this book tries to teach about love to young adults in such a unique way. It taught people that, it is no way you can learn about love without being broken hearted.

        Although, some weaknesses could be spotted in the novel Such as the repeated plot in the story where Edward will be separated from his owner and then found by other people. And, I also feel, the development of the story was too fast, without much details told.

        It was a good novel that I really recommended for people to read. Its heart-warming story may bring you to tears and this novel also reserves an important message about love that can be learned by people.
