The warden looked at the giant and nodded. The giant lifted the garrote in his hand and reached forward. The guards outside the door could hear the chanting of the mob
in the street. “You know something?” one of the guards grumbled. “I wish I was out there with them.” Sidney Sheldon : 576

4.1.2 Care.
Care is letting things matter to us, including other people. It means valuing their well being and acting with attention to their needs. It is the first step toward and
motivating factor behind our actions. When we care about someone or something, we hold a consciousness of what can harm them and what is needed for them to flourish.
Our caring can comfort another person even when neither of us has the power to change a difficult situation. Based on the story in The Sands of Time, Jaime Miro is a
social person who cares about other people. He cares about his friend, and his people.
“He is not an easy man to know. But he is a man of great honor and great bravery. He is a very caring man. There is no one like him. Did
I tell you how he saved my life, Sister?” Sidney Sheldon : 470
In general, when someone gets help from others, the one automatically wants to share the goodness to someone who is nearby. As well as the quotation, it is the
co nversation between Jaime Mario’s friend and a nun. Mario’s friend talked about
the goodness conduct of Jaime, she said that Jaime was one of full caring to others.

30 Jaime has extraordinary sense of care, which can be seen from the word
“great” and “very” , great means an extent, amount, or intensity considerably above the normal or average. The word ‘very’ means something in a high degree. So, it
shows that Jaime Mario is full of caring to others. It is can be proved from the sentence of the quatation

“They were driving through the rolling hills that heralded the approach to Burgos. Jaime was quiet behind the wheel. When he
finally spoke, he said, “Felix, when we get to San Sebastian, I want
to make arrangements to get Rubio away from the police.” 447
Caring is an important quality in order to be a friend. Caring does not only mean that one concerns about oneself but also knows what a friend needs when he is
in trouble. Jaime Mario is a good friend, he cares about his friend sicerely.When his friend was in the prison,he always thought of how to liberate his friend. Eventhough
at that time he was driving the rolling hills. He ignored the precipitous road that it might endanger their soul. They had been passsing. The quatation states that as long
as the journey Jaime Mario was silent, when he finally spoke, he spoke about how to make Rubio away from the police. The situation was proved that Jaime Mario
thought about Rubio’s problem as long the journey. The Quotation shows that Jaime Mario has deep sense of caring to his friend.

31 “I had seen my mother and father and sisters shot down, and friends
murdered, and I couldn’t face what was happening here on this bloody earth. The stars were an escape. They were millions of light
years away, and I used to dream of going to them one day and getting away from this awful planet.”
She was watching him, silent. “But there is no escape, is there? In the end, we all have to face up to
our responsibilities. So I came back down to earth.” Sidney Sheldon : 472
The words of “bloody earth” brings our mindset to think that there is no peace between one and another who are living on the earth.The writer said like that
because the color of blood is red, generally red color is used as warning symbol of trouble. Blood can run out from our body because there is a part of our body hurts or
blood vessel is broken.“The stars were an escape”means at the time Jaime Mario was not able to face the situation, he needed place to escape.
From those quotation above, Jaime Mario’s struggle is not without reason. He
watched everything that had been done by the government to Basque. Jaime wanted a peaceful life, but the reality was not what he wanted. Therefore, Jaime got up and
decided to devote himself to the Basque society in defense of truth and their rights. He fought confidently despite the danger was threatening him. He never retreated at
all.This text proves that Jaime does have a caring nature, not just his friends, but also on society Basque. If he does not have a caring nature then he will not fight to the
death to defend the rights of people who are nearby, even though death threatens him.
