because the bus did not stop and escaped. I ran after it and I didn’t know why I could run so fast and
jump so high.

I jumped to the back of the bus and climbed it like a spider. I went to the front, stopped the bus and took
the driver out of the bus door. I knew that I was no longer a normal human being. I did nothing more to
the bus driver. I went back home and decided what to do after that.

I did nothing like Spiderman in the movie that helped people to catch the criminals. I was an opportunist
super hero. I was afraid of killing people so that I hid my power from anybody else. I used my power
only when I or my family and friends got into danger.

Contoh Historical Recount Text

For more than 30 years, Indonesia was governed by Suharto as the president after the era of President
Soekarno. As the people started to feel injustice, several cracks emerged that shook the political
condition. Political tensions in the capital city increased by the numerous riots that occurred in several
cities and violent ethnic clashes.

The government became unstable and struggled as a monetary crisis hit Asia in the second half of 1997.
Indonesia suffered the most. Prices rose massively and many businesses went bankrupt. As the economy
fell down, people got angry and protests occurred everywhere. The protests became bigger and riots
started in many parts of Indonesia.

During the monetary crisis, Suharto could maintain his position as president when he was re-elected in
March 1998. However, Suharto did not do anything that could help the economy. As the government
seemed helpless in bringing the economy back, people demanded President Suharto to step down.

Demonstrations were held everywhere and it became the peak with the Trisakti incident on 12 May
1998. Four students were shot to death when demonstrating at Trisakti University at Jakarta and 9
students were killed at Semanggi. The incident led to huge riots in Jakarta and various cities all over
Indonesia.

Finally, Suharto was pushed to step down and the reformation era began in Indonesia.
