FOLKLORE

Hello everyone!!!

Welcome back to my blog "YEREDO"

    Today i want to share my reading experience about folklore. In Indonesia and other country, there are many folktale, legend, and myth stories. And now i want to tell about folklore that i've read.

    I've read about Mahabharat story. Mahabharat is folkltale and also myth from Indian and Javanese. So now we can see a "Wayang Kulit" is based from Mahabharat story. Briefly, Mahabharat is story about Pandawa and Kurawa, they are siblings but have a bad, selfish, grudge, and hate condition. Pandawa is the protagonist and Kurawa is the antagonist. They fight to get their father kingdom called "Hastinapura" or in Javanese called "Astina". 

    I like Mahabharat story, Because there are many moral messages from that story, like, don't be crafty, we have to forgive each other, don't be selfish, and many other moral messages and my favorite part is the war between Pandawa and Kurawa. You can read the story from many website and blog. Why i quickly remember this story because for the first time i learned Mahabharat story from Bahasa Jawa lesson in school. After that, i read the story from internet and i watched a TV series about Mahabharat.

    Last part, i want to explain about folklore in general. From Wikipedia "Folklore is the expressive body of culture shared by a particular group of people; it encompasses the tradition common to that culture, subculture or group". In my opinion folklore is culture and tradition story that can be real or fiction story. I like folklore because the story are interesting and entertaining, i also can get many moral messages from the story. I've read another folklore to like Rawa Pening, Malin Kundang, and Timun Mas.

I hope you enjoy it and your attention is important for me.

THANK YOU...
