Preface
The Multi-Genre Synthesis project I choose poem, letter,
map, and postcard these 4 genres to show and present to you, and I had chose 5
stories which are Siddhartha, by
Hermann Hesse, The Inferno, by Dante
Alighieri, The Tempest, and Oedipus Rex by William Shakespeare, and
lastly The Stranger by Albert Camus.
The first one is poem I choose poem because I think it is not very difficult to
write a poem. Even though it might hard sometimes to understand the poem, but I
make it very easy for you guys to understand my poem. This poem mostly is about
the story of Siddhartha, his journey,
and his life.
The second is postcard, this postcard is about Prospero writes
postcard to Miranda, and about how is Miranda because Miranda was married to
Ferdinand and they both were live in Milan which far away from where Prospero
live on island. Prospero was live on island alone and he didn’t see Miranda so
long that’s why he wanted to write a postcard to say hi and ask how is she,
because he miss Miranda.
The third one is letter I write two
letters one is about Oedipus wrote letter to soothsayer that what soothsayer
said was not true Oedipus didn’t believed on him about Oedipus’s father dead.
Oedipus thinks that soothsayer wanted to take over my throne that’s why Oedipus
wrote letter to him. Because he wanted to scold on soothsayer about what he
said on Oedipus’s father.
The second letter is about Maria wrote
letter to Meursault. Meursault went into jail because he killed the Arabs, so
court decided that he had to go into jail. Maria wrote this letter while her
husband was in the jail, Maria miss him so much and want to know how is his
life during in the jail. And sometimes Maria visited to see her husband,
Meursault. Maria was waiting her husband to come out from jail, but she also
don’t sure that Meursault was happy or not, because Meursault was a person that
mostly doesn’t care other people much, don’t even himself.

Lastly, I had draw a map about
Siddhartha’s adventure, and how was his life. In this map was show where he had
travel to, and met who. Siddhartha had met Gautama, or the other word was
Buddha. Siddhartha didn’t follow Buddha, because he wants to follow his own
path, and find his enlightenment by himself not like his friend Govinda who
follow Buddha and don’t have his own path. Siddhartha had leaved his family and
his hometown Brahmin and went out with Samanas. Siddhartha’s life had met so
many things you can see on this map and poem.

Siddhartha
- Journey
Since
I left home and my family
I
don’t want to look back and feel guilty
During
the extraordinary adventure
I
might see some future
The
Buddha who was enlightened
But
for me I don’t have that passion
So
I go on with my way
While
my friend Govinda want to stay
I
had met Kamala who helps me
She
was a nice beautiful lady
Kamala
who help me and teach
I
had learn a lot of thing and bring me to the reach
The
business was so easy for me to do
For
me I’ll be rich as a millionaire too
But
that is not my types
I
still go on and follow what I like
Suddenly
I stop at riverside
And
look down and see the right
Finally,
I found the right of my way
So
I enlighten here like this and always

Letter Oedipus to Tiresias
May 25, 2012
Tiresias
Thebes
Dear, Tiresias
Hey, Tiresias you was talking about my father, and said that
I am the one who will kill my own father? Are you serious? He is my father I
will never do that to my own father. Do not ever tell me about this again,
Tiresias I don’t believe you anymore, you’re not a soothsayer. Not only this
you also tell me that I will marry to my own mother? You are really such a
liar; I will never ever do that to my mother too. They are my parents and they
are part of our family and I love them so much. Do not say that again or else I
will send my army to catch you and bring into jail. I love my parents, I love
my family.
Sincerely,
Oedipus
