He woke up in the Kingdom of Kastara, a realm floating in the sky. There, he met Princess Suripit, who was trying to save her kingdom from the Shadow Dragon. The dragon had stolen the Sun Crystal, plunging Kastara into eternal twilight. ‘I need a brave outsider,’ the Princess said. Andre, though scared, agreed to help.

Evaluate the effectiveness of the story’s multiverse concept. Why does the author keep the ‘core of the story’ the same while changing the setting?

1. Because the author was too lazy to write a completely new plot.

Stimulus: Andre finds a portal to the Kingdom of Kastara and realizes that the Shadow Dragon is not actually evil; it is just in pain because a magical thorn is stuck in its paw. The Princess insists on destroying the dragon to get the Sun Crystal back.

Based on the new context, evaluate the Princess’s decision to destroy the dragon. Is it justified? Propose a better solution for Andre to solve the conflict without resorting to violence.

Jawaban: The Princess’s decision is not entirely justified because it is based on a misunderstanding of the dragon’s motives; the dragon is not malicious, but suffering. A better solution would be for Andre to use his blinding smartwatch light not as a weapon, but to calm or safely approach the dragon, allowing him or the Princess to pull the magical thorn out of its paw, thereby healing the dragon and peacefully retrieving the Sun Crystal.

Penjelasan: This question requires students to analyze the ethical dilemma (situational judgement), evaluate the character’s choice, and synthesize a new, non-violent resolution based on the provided clues.

Stimulus: Andre finds a portal to the Kingdom of Kastara and realizes that the Shadow Dragon is not actually evil; it is just in pain because a magical thorn is stuck in its paw. The Princess insists on destroying the dragon to get the Sun Crystal back.

Create a short dialogue between Andre and the Princess where Andre tries to convince her to change her mind about destroying the dragon. Use logical reasoning in Andre’s arguments.

Jawaban: Andre: ‘Princess, wait! We don’t need to destroy the dragon.’ Princess: ‘But it stole our light! It’s a monster.’ Andre: ‘It’s not a monster, it’s just an animal in terrible pain. Look at its paw, there is a glowing thorn stuck in it. If we remove the thorn, the dragon will stop rampaging, and we can get the crystal back without unnecessary violence. Let’s show mercy.’ Princess: ‘Are you sure? What if it attacks?’ Andre: ‘I’ll use my watch to distract it while you pull the thorn. We can be heroes who heal, not just fighters.’

Penjelasan: Students must create (synthesis level) a dialogue that demonstrates their understanding of the characters’ motivations and uses persuasive language and logical reasoning to solve a problem.

Stimulus: Living in 1995 for a day, Sarah realized that information was not instantly available. She had to visit a library, search through encyclopedias, and ask the librarian for help to find out about the history of the vintage store.

Analyze the impact of instant information (like the internet and AI) on students’ learning habits today compared to the 90s. While it is faster, is it entirely positive? Provide your reasoning based on Sarah’s realization.

Jawaban: Instant information is highly efficient but not entirely positive. In the 90s, students had to visit libraries, which required patience, physical effort, and deeper reading to find specific facts, fostering strong retention and critical evaluation of sources. Today, instant answers can lead to superficial learning, shorter attention spans, and over-reliance on technology without genuine comprehension. As Sarah realized, convenience sometimes costs us the depth of experience and the skills built through hard work and direct human interaction.

Penjelasan: This requires students to critically evaluate a real-world scenario (learning habits) by comparing two different eras, drawing parallels from the stimulus to form a nuanced argument.

Stimulus: The Multiverse concept allows traditional stories to be adapted into sci-fi, cyberpunk, or even dystopian genres. Some critics argue this modernizes local legends, while others say it erases their authentic heritage.

Do you think adapting a traditional folktale like Timun Mas into a sci-fi multiverse story ruins its cultural value? Evaluate both the positive and negative impacts of this type of adaptation.

Jawaban: Adapting a traditional folktale into sci-fi has both pros and cons. On the negative side, it might dilute the original cultural context, traditional values, and historical atmosphere, causing younger generations to forget the authentic roots of the story. On the positive side, adapting it makes the story highly relevant and engaging for modern audiences. It preserves the core moral message (bravery, using wits against a stronger foe) by translating it into a language and setting today’s youth enjoy, ensuring the legacy of the character lives on in a new format. Overall, as long as the core message is respected, it does not ruin the cultural value but evolves it.

Penjelasan: Students are asked to evaluate a complex cultural issue. They must analyze both sides of an argument (pros and cons) and form a justified conclusion.

 

30. [Uraian / Esai] (HOTS)

Stimulus: The Multiverse concept allows traditional stories to be adapted into sci-fi, cyberpunk, or even dystopian genres.

Imagine Universe D where Timun Mas is an astronaut on a spaceship, and Buto Ijo is an alien space pirate. Create a brief plot outline (Beginning, Middle, End) for this specific universe, focusing on how she escapes using three space-themed items instead of the traditional ones.

Jawaban: Beginning: Astronaut Timun Mas is alone on a cargo spaceship transporting valuable energy crystals when her ship is boarded by the terrifying alien space pirate, Buto Ijo, who wants to capture her and the cargo. Middle: Instead of throwing traditional items, Timun Mas uses her spacecraft’s tools to escape. First, she ejects a cluster of sharp space debris (replacing needles) to puncture the pirate’s space suit. Second, she releases anti-gravity magnetic spheres (replacing seeds) that stick to the pirate and make him float helplessly. End: As Buto Ijo struggles, she activates the ship’s emergency hyper-sleep pod filled with cryogenic freezing fluid (replacing the mud/quicksand), trapping the alien pirate in solid ice. Timun Mas safely warps her ship back to base.

Penjelasan: This is a pure creation task. Students must synthesize their understanding of the narrative structure of Timun Mas and apply it to a completely new, creatively generated sci-fi setting while maintaining logical parallels to the original story.
