I read the book Bumi Manusia. This book tells about a young boy named Minke. He is smart, but his life is not easy. He lives in a time when people are not treated the same. Some people are respected, but some are looked down. This makes me feel sad.
Minke studies in a Dutch school. He tries to be strong and brave. But sometimes people treat him badly. For example, he gets a nickname from his teacher, and he does not know the meaning. He feels confused and hurt inside. This shows that words can hurt people.
I also see the story of Annelies. She is kind and soft. She lives in a big place, but her life is also not perfect. Even if she has many things, she still has fear and sadness. This makes me think that money and power do not always give happiness.
This book also shows about injustice. People from Europe are treated better than local people. This is not fair. It makes me think about how important equality is. Everyone should be treated the same, no matter where they come from.
From this book, I learn to be strong like Minke. Even when life is hard, he still wants to learn and grow. I also learn to respect others and not judge people.
In conclusion, this book is very meaningful. It teaches about life, struggle, and respect. Even though the story is sad sometimes, it gives a strong lesson for me.
