Battle Of Surabaya

                    

Hello guys, Today I'm still discussing the recount text, it's just that this time it's a little different because today we also determine the structure of the recount text battle of Surabaya.

Before that, I want to repeat the meaning of recount text itself and its structure

Recount text is a type of text that tells about a story, action, or activity.

Recount Text structure

In creating recount text, there is a structure that must be followed when writing this type of text. What are the structures?

Orientation

In this first stage, you are asked to provide an introduction in the form of information about who, where, when the event or incident occurred in the past. In this section, you are expected to provide the reader with the information necessary to understand the entirety of the text.

Example:

Yesterday I stayed the night at my friend's house, Delia, with my other three friends, Amanda, Tiara and Clarisse. Delia's house is so pretty. It has a big garden with a lot of kind of flowers and a big swimming pool. Right from the balcony, we can see the scenery of the whole of Bandung city.

Event

In this second stage, you can convey or tell the events or events that occurred.

Example:Depart from Muara Angke - Arrived - Went to the guest house - Rent bicycle and cycling - Had lunch - Snorkeling - and so on.

Reorientation

The last stage in the recount text structure is reorientation. It is the repetition stage of the introduction in the first stage. The existing loop summarizes all the events or incidents that were told. In the last stage, you can write a summary of all the events or events that were told. You can also write comments or personal impressions of events or incidents that have occurred.

okay back to the beginning, so I will analyze the recount text in the story of the Battle of Surabaya.

Battle Of Surabaya

✓Orientation                                                  

On 10 November, Indonesia celebrates Hari Pahlawan or Heroes Day in remembrance of the Battle of Surabaya which started on that very date in the year 1945. The bloody battle took place as Indonesians refused to surrender their weaponry to British army which was part of the Allied forces then. The defiant Bung Tomo is the well-known revolutionary leader who played a pivotal role in this battle.

✓Events                                              

It all started due to a misunderstanding between British troops in Jakarta and those in Surabaya, under the command of Brigadier A. W. S. Mallaby. While Brigadier Mallaby already had an agreement with Governor of East Java Mr. Surya that British would not ask Indonesian troops and militia to surrender their weapons, a British plane from Jakarta dropped leaflets all over Surabaya requesting Indonesians to do otherwise on 27 October 1945. This action angered the Indonesian troops and militia leaders because they felt betrayed.

On 30 October 1945, Brigadier Mallaby was killed as he was approaching the British troops’ post near Jembatan Merah or Red Bridge, Surabaya. There were many reports surrounding the death but it was widely believed that the Brigadier was murdered by Indonesian militia. Looking at this situation, Lieutenant General Sir Philip Christison brought in reinforcements in preparation of sieging the city.

In the early morning of 10 November 1945, British troops began to advance into Surabaya with cover from both naval and air bombardment. Despite the heroic resistance from the Indonesians, half of the city was conquered within 3 days while the whole battle lasted for 3 weeks. In total, between 6,300 and 15,000 Indonesians died while casualties on the British side are only numbered at about 600.

✓Reorientation

Battle of Surabaya caused Indonesia to lose weaponry which hampered the country’s independence struggle. However, the same battle provoked Indonesian and international mass to rally for the country’s independence which made this battle es pecially important for Indonesian national revolution.

Okay that's the structure of the battle of Surabaya okay now I will tell story about the battle of Surabaya.

This film tells the adventure of musa. A shoeshine teenager who became a courier for the struggle of arek arek Suroboyo and TKR fighters in the teribble Battle of November 10,1945 in Surabaya 

The story opens with a terrific visualization of the Allied bombing of Hiroshima, which marks the surrender of Japan.  "Free Indonesia, that's what I heard at RRI, Japan surrendered!", Said Musa.  But the sky in Surabaya was red again with the Flag Incident and the arrival of the Allies who were traveling by the Dutch.  Not to mention the disturbance by several groups of Black Fan youth who were opposed by the Republican Youth.  Resident Sudirman, Governor Suryo, Pak Moestopo, Bung Tomo and other figures aroused the spirit of Suroboyo arek-arek and Indonesian youth to rise up against colonialism.

Musa is believed to be the courier of letters and secret codes combined with keroncong songs from the Indonesian People's Rebellion Radio founded by Bung Tomo.  Various events went through by Moses as a courier, losing his wealth and loved ones was a consequence of this noble task.

This story is an adaptation of the November 10 battle in Surabaya.  Apart from real characters, there are fictional characters who are deliberately made to strengthen the message to be conveyed.  War messages about passion, love for the motherland, and peace.
