Battle Of Surabaya

Hallo Every one!!!!today i will discuss recount text again. Yesterday we discussed a recount text about my idol, namely Wendy Cagur and now I will tell you about the most historic places in Indonesia, one of which is Surabaya.

You must have known Surabaya. I will tell you a little about the city of Surabaya, Surabaya is the capital of the East Java province, as well as the largest metropolitan city in the province. Surabaya is the second largest city in Indonesia after Jakarta. Surabaya is located on the north coast of the eastern part of Java Island and faces the Madura Strait and the Java Sea. Surabaya is known as the City of Heroes because of its history which was taken into account in the struggle of Arek-Arek Suroboyo (Surabaya youths) in defending the independence of the Indonesian nation from invaders. Surabaya was also the largest city in the Dutch East Indies and the center of commerce in the archipelago, which was parallel to Hong Kong and Shanghai at its time.

One of the famous history in Surabaya is the story of "Battle of Surabaya". The climax occurred on November 10, 1945 which we know as Heroes' Day. And one of the famous heroes in the Surabaya battle was Bung Tomo.

This is a film about the Battle of Surabaya

And here's a movie trailer about Battle of Surabaya

Orientation:

On November 10, Indonesia celebrated Heroes 'Day or Heroes' Day to commemorate the Battle of Surabaya which began on that date in 1945. This bloody battle occurred because the Indonesians refused to surrender their weapons to British soldiers. British soldiers at that time were part of the Allies. Rebels Bung Tomo was a well-known revolutionary leader who played a very important role in this battle.

Event

It all started from a misunderstanding between British troops in Jakarta and in Surabaya, under the command of Brigadier A.W.WS. Mallaby. Brigadier Mallaby already has an agreement with the Governor of East Java, Mr. Surya. The agreement stated that Britain would not ask Indonesian troops and militias to surrender their weapons.

However, a British plane from Jakarta dropped leaflets all over Surabaya. The leaflets instructed the Indonesians to do the opposite on 27 October 1945. This act angered the Indonesian troops and militia leaders because they felt betrayed.

On October 30, 1945, Brigadier Mallaby was killed when he approached the British troop post near Jembatan Merah or Jembatan Merah, Surabaya. There have been many reports of these deaths, but it is widely believed that Brigadier was killed by Indonesian militias. Seeing this situation, Lieutenant General Sir Philip Christison brought reinforcements to besiege the city.

On the morning of 10 November 1945, British troops began to enter Surabaya with protection from sea and air bombing attacks. Even though the Indonesians defended the city valiantly, the city was conquered within 3 days and the whole battle lasted 3 weeks. In total, between 6,000 and 16,000 Indonesians died while the British toll was around 600 to 2000.

Reorientation

The Battle of Surabaya caused Indonesia to lose weapons that hindered the country's struggle for independence. However, this battle provoked the Indonesian and international masses to unite for the country's independence which made this battle very important for the Indonesian national revolution.

My Idol

My idol is Wendi Cagur, he is an artist as well as a Bomber. Bomber is a person who makes graffiti art on the streets (not vandalism). I really like graffiti art from elementary school because drawing graffiti is my hobby. I like Wendi since junior high school because at that time I saw him drawing on the wall, the way he drew was very detailed and careful that was what I liked about his character, at that time I started to study drawing graffiti in earnest, I started buying equipment for draw like markers and pencils. and at this time I am still learning to draw graffiti because in my opinion I have to deepen the knowledge I got. I think Wendi is a funny person because he is also a comedian and when I see him he draws he does not take too seriously and often laughs. and finally I can make a good graffiti image. example of my picture:

I am very grateful for what I have achieved so far, I hope that in the future it can be even better and I can draw together with Wendi Cagur.

Hallo Every One!! how are you today? i hope your fine, this time i want to tell you...

Descriptive Text About Taj Mahal

    Taj Mahal or The Taj is a well known architectural object in India for its finest design which combine elements from India, Persian and Islamic architectural style. This historical buildings was built on the south bank of the Yamuna river in Agra. It represents the story of Eternal Love of the Mughal Emperor, Shah Jahan, to his dearest wife Mumtaz Mahal. In 1983 UNESCO place Taj Mahal into the list of World Heritage Site and consider it as “the jewel of Muslim art in India and one of the universally admired masterpieces of the world’s heritage”.

    Taj Mahal is a very large tomb made of ivory-white marble. The building looks like a mosque, a place for a moslem to pray. Once we see it, we will get the impression that Islamic architectural style is very strong in the building, starting with the wall and the calligraphy decorations on it, a huge dome on top of the building along with 4 minarets on every corner of the base walls. The dome is also made of marble with size nearly 35 meters and the top of it is decorated with a lotus design. The minarets is also decorated with a very detailed lotus motif.

    If we come from the main entrance, we will see a large pool in front of the building, this pool is called the reflecting pool as it will reflect the image of The Taj to the sky. Once we enter the building, we will find that there are more decorations on the inner wall. The tomb as the central focus of the building is located at the lower level. The graves of Mumtaz Mahal and Shah Jahan were positioned next to each other in a large room with Persian style decorations.

It is my assignment on page 60 of descriptive text to describe the building of the Taj Mahal
