Sarimanok

Sarimanok was a story of testing the loyalty of a bird named Sarimanok to her tribe and to her leaders. Her mission is to catch fish and feed the people in their tribe. Suddenly, she was tempted by another bird to fly and see the beautiful nature outside their world but to fly was against the rule of their tribe especially to the leaders. Out of curiosity, Sarimanok was tempted and chose to fly with the bird, she was so amaze by the wonders she was seeing. But the tribe and the leaders of her tribe had known about it, at first she was not given a penalty of death and gave her second chance but Sarimanok committed the same mistake for the second time, so the leaders and the tribe were so angry because Sarimanok broke their law. Together with the other bird, they were sentenced to death. 

                As for me, I'm sad because Sarimanok and the people of their tribe was not given the freedom to fly despite the fact that they were birds, it's awful that they're stuck to their world without exploring the beautiful side of the world but at the same time i'm disappointed for the actions of Sarimanok because as a member of the tribe she has given responsibilities and they use to follow orders from their leaders but it's disappointing when Sarimanok disobeyed it and set as bad example for the people of her tribe. I was pissed with the other bird because he was trying to destroy the reputation of Sarimanok by tempting her all over again and he succeeded. In all that, I was confused why the tribe of Sarimanok was not permitted to fly when in fact they were birds, it was horrible that they have not given the privilege of a bird, to fly and explore the world. I was against that law because it's like imprisoning someone without committing any crime and I feel sad when Sarimanok and the other bird was put to death because of the liberty they were asking for. I strongly agree with Sarimanok when she said that as a bird they deserve to see the wonders of the other side of their world. It was awful that the leaders and the people of the tribe didn't believed in her and even judged her. I even understand why Sarimanok have done that despite of breaking their rules in the tribe, she just wants freedom. Overall, I was amazed by the story of Sarimanok because it imparts many lessons to the audience. I did not feel boring while watching the Sarimanok because the story was exciting especially when Sarimanok and the other bird were sentenced to death. I was convinced that the story was beautiful and full of morals to all individuals of the society. It was worth watching and reflecting.
