Both Ms. Dubose from ‘To Kill a Mocking Bird’ by Harper Lee and Raden Ajeng Kartini are heroes. Kartini defended woman’s right in Indonesia, so Indonesian women could get the same rights as men. In fact, courage can take people in magnificent or dangerous situation. :Ms. Dubose is the couragest woman that Atticus has met, she tried to conceal and fight against her disease by herself. (Lee, 149). Ms. Dubose wanted to make a difference among others; she tried to show others that she wouldface her life without any pain-killer. She was being a good model to others which shows that we should not addict with something, even if it was painful. Analogous with Kartini, she made a difference in education system in Indonesia. Before her era, there were no women who were allowed going to school; they just should be feminine women who stayed at home to please their husbands. Kartini tried to “break the rule”, she wanted the same rights for women in Indonesia that she had taught Indonesian women without anyone knowing it. After she had married with a noble, she prompted to build a school that allowswomen to study. Eventhough she was a noble, she wanted to be a good model, she had laid down her attributes willingly to help other women. Therefore, Indonesian women can get the same rights in education as men. If she was not courageous to “break the rule”, there will be no educated Indonesian women. In conclusion, both of them are heroes, because they had desires that had encouraged them to make a difference. Eventhough everything seemed to be impossible, they keep on doing there best and never gave up. They took the lead to create difference in the society, which makes a better life for other people.
