Bali has a place which is mysterious. This place is legendary and famous. Many people visit this place if they visit to Bali because they wouldn’t  missing this place and they also want to feel the myterious effect inside this place. Trunyan village is situated in the seam east of Batur Lake. It’s about 45 minutes from Kintamani when we want to go there by rowboat. Trunyan is one part of Bali Aga village (ancient Balinese). They called their people as Bali turunan, which means there was the first people who had been got down from the sky in Bali or the first people who staying in Bali Island. They also called the other people in Bali as the ethnic of Bali. They were the people who came from Java (Majapahit). Although most of Trunyan people are Hinduism, but they usually have another civilization each other.
One of interesting event which made the visitors felt amazing is the death of ceremony. Although they are the same Hinduism, in Bali, Trunyan people didn’t burn or burry the body when they took it in the funeral event. The Body was laid out under Taru Menyan tree. The body only covered with white cloth and put a fence along the edge of the funeral with bamboo. The death of ceremony in trunyan is called “mepasah”. The body was laid out in the grave which has been digging in the hole that’s not so deep without covered anything. There were seven graves which are used for the dead body by turns. That’s not so astonishing if we would see the skulls and bones were scattered around the cemetery.

Though trunyan people didn’t burry and burn the dead body, they just only put it under tree. But the body wasn’t making putrid odor around it. The Trunyan people believed that the putrid odor of the body was sucking up by Taru Menyan trees. Purportedly, taru menyan trees exuded a fragrant odor.
According to the folktale, the trunyan people believed that a fragrant odor which comes from taru menyan trees had ever been smelled by Danu Goodness who was staying in the heaven. Then, she got down on earth to try lokking for that odor sources where came from. After she got it then the people called it as trunyan.
The trunyan people had three kinds of “sema”(cemetery). Sema wayah (common cemetery) is a funeral only for people who died in properly. Sema muda (young cemetery) is a funeral for babies, children, and adults who had not ever been married. Anyway…sema bratas is a funeral for people who died in an accident or commit suicide.

Sema wayah become the object of interest to tourists. There are many foreign tourists who visiting there. To reach there the tourists must be road a boat to cross by way of the edge of abang hill in the side of Batur Lake. They would see beautiful scenery during along boat ridding to reach there.

We can see beautiful scenery of the hills from north around the Batur Lake and we can also see the altar which built from stones from east. From there we usually see a mount of skulls and bones a rounding the altar that rowed under taru menyan tree. So, that’s all will be made a mysterious senses.

Cut The Topic Down To a Size You Can Manage

One of the biggest obstacles to the success of a short essay is an oversize topic. If you try to write eight hundred words on the free enterprise system, you will probably find that you have room for only common place generalization about it: big business don’t pay their fair share of taxes; company executives are overpaid; workers re underpaid; the whole system takes from the many and gives to the fortunate few. When you fill up a paper with generalizations like these, you leave your self no room to think and discover or to use your own experience. Also you bore your readers by telling them what they have already many times before. If you can define a particular topic in terms of your own experience, you have already begun reducing it to a manageable size. But even as you connect it to your own experience, you should try to isolate and identify a piece of it, to make your topic as precise and specific as possible. Here are some example:

GENERAL

Sport, medical care, computer, working women, elections

SPECIFIC

Hockey, artificial organs, word processing, working mothers, role of TV in election

MORE SPECIFIC

Scoring goals, artificial hearts, spelling-checker program, working mother with small children, role of TV in election of John F. Kennedy

EXERCISE 7

Take any of the topics listed in exercise 6 and make it as specific as possible.

Example

Crime shoplifting punishment of shoplifters

Make an Assigned Topic Your Own

When a topic is assigned, find away to make it your own. Most of the writing you do will be in assigned topic. The way to get started on an assigned topic is to discover its connection with what you already know, with your own interests and experience. Suppose you are asked to write about the free enterprise system. Your first thought may be of huge corporations: Du Pont, IBM, General Motors, Chrysler, AT&T. but big firms like these are far out numbered by small ones such as pizza parlors, taxicab companies, barber shops, hair dressing salons, and drug stores. James is a businessman; but so is the street vendor selling leather belts or costume jewelry at a busy intersection, and so is the ten year old behind a lemonade stand on a hot summer afternoon. If you’ve ever had a job, you have had the chance to see how someone else runs a business. Personal experience, then, can be just what you need to find your way into a topic.

Consider what two different students did with two different topics assigned to them. Asked to write about the free enterprise system, Virginia decided to explain how she and a few other girls organized a summer playgroup when they were only nine-years-old and how their profits rose to nearly three hundred dollars each in the fourth summer of their operation.

EXERCISE 6
