5.2 Suggestion
There are some suggestions that can be taken from the novel Negeri 5 Menara such as spirit, optimistic and never give up. Phrase Jadda Wajada man
means to explain Whos earnest, will succeed. Therefore we have to do something with as much as possible, should be optimistic that we can get it, and do not give up
despite facing many obstacles. We believe that God always appreciate any efforts made by his slave. In this novel, many behaviors these are obedient to discipline, be
sincere when got punishment and be humble when receiving reward shown by each characters. Finally, the Writer hopes that readers will be able to take a lot of good
lessons from this novel. Last but not least, “Man Jadda Wajada” Whos earnest, will succeed always in our hearts.
