The message that the cosmos and universe of humans have been destroyed. The message that she is welcome, that her past will be buried without any question, that his love has not abated. He is Igor, a middle-aged millionaire from Moscow. All provisions have been made with every detail. There, at the reputable Cannes Film Festival, which is a Festival with numerous parallel events, a Festival where myriads of male and female celebrities spend their time in front of the mirror, and everything for the renowned red carpet, his ex-wife’s, Ewa’s, love has to be won again and he should come out a winner. Ewa has made her decision. She couldn’t stand Igor’s mental pressure any longer. He is a man who can easily commit murder. His service with the soviet army during the irrational Afghanistan war, has provided him with many assets to successfully develop, but it takes as many from him, his humanness and compassion. Now, he is on Hamid Hussain’s side. A Bedouin who escapes from the desert he adores. He yearns to exhibit his country’s culture, his tribe’s thousand year wisdom and code of honor. He accomplishes that, aided by his father’s genes and his high connections, a respected fashion designer, a cherished member of the so-called Upper class. PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI 97 The power, however, which he strives to conquer for a noble purpose, in the end conquers him. A young woman, Olivia, who lays her merchandise carefree on a linen sheet on the pavement, is the first sacrifice. The beginning of the messages are keyed in and sent to her. Then, Javitz Wild, a powerful and distinguished film distributor, a mere pawn in the plot of the crime, a pawn with self-awareness, yet without the power of will. Maureen is his third victim, a film producer who has placed all her hopes on Javitz, hopes which are quickly vanished. However, a moment of penance, a moment of autognosis comes forward, asking from Igor to give her mental freedom, asking from him the cease of the death toll, asking from him to surrender to the police authorities. His stance is negative. He is a balanced person, capable of taking hard decisions, going all the way to completion. The three murders have disturbed the police authorities of this small and extremely peaceful part of France. The elements of the crime lead to something weirder; they lead to a serial killer, who has only one goal. A case which excites the interest of police detective Savoy and in which he finds an outlet from the tenor of police reports. The culprit’s external features have been defined and an ambitious chase starts. A chase without results, because the plan of the murder is perfect. There is only on winner and it is not Savoy, it is not the justice. There, at the impressive night event, Gabriela meets Jasmine Tiger. There, in an ocean of strangers, their eyes meet in such a compelling way. They find out PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI 98 that they work for the same person, Hamid Hussain, in different, however, departments. None of them have met him in person, what they know of him is his orders and the army of his aides. The former, as a new actress who achieves her dream, the red carpet of the ephemeral dazzle and the latter, as a new haute couture model with the quality to reach for the top. Igor finds a refuge between them, in order to avoid police checking and to concentrate his powers for the forthcoming planned meeting. Finally, the three tragic heroes, Igor, Ewa and Hamid meet at a far corner table. The story has to come to an end. Fear must be vanished. Love must prevail. Not, however, in public view, but outdoors, at the nearby beach. By the sea waves, under the starry sky, the receiver of human souls, both the rich and the poor. A dialogue packed with dead ends. Love is lost. The end has come only for them. The Beretta rifle accomplishes its purpose. Hamid is the first to be shot in his attempt to disarm him. Then, it is Ewa’s turn, who is not worthy for him any more. The morning has come at last and the company’s jet was departing. Win has been achieved. Igor wins. The winner, however, doesn’t stand alone. That’s what he thought. He feels the soul of his first victim, Olivia, very close to him. He feels her as an instructor of the future, which belongs to him.

As a teenager, Paulo was introverted and somewhat rebellious, and pursued his goal to become a writer over the objection of his parents. Because of his rebelliousness, his parents had him committed to a mental institution when he was seventeen. Although he escaped – three times – he was not released until he was twenty years old. Paulo bears his parents no ill will for this – he believes they were trying to save him from himself. Acceding to his parent’s demands, Paulo enrolled in law school. But a year later, he dropped out. He began to explore the life of a hippie, travelling through various countries and immersing himself in the drug culture of the 1960s. When he returned to Brazil, Paulo found work as a songwriter. Indeed, he composed songs for Elis Regina, Rita Lee, and Raul Seixas. In 1974, at age 27, he was arrested by the government, for subversive activity – the people in power found his song lyrics dangerous. He was shortly released, however, and continued his career in the entertainment field, working as an actor, a journalist, and even PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI 100 directing some theatre. He started to write as well, and his first book, Hell Archives, was published in 1982, when he was 35. In 1986, at age 40, Paulo walked the Road of Santiago de Compostela in northwestern Spain, a 500 mile distance. He experienced a spiritual awakening on this journey, which he described in his book The Pilgrimage, published in 1986. Paulo decided to leave his song-writing career and go back to his writing. In 1987 his book The Alchemist was published. In the next year Brida. So popular was Brida that The Alchemist grew to become a best seller Indeed, it has sold more than 30 million copies, and has been translated into more than 67 languages. Paulo has published 26 books to date. Other of his titles include By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept, The Fifth Mountain, Veronika Decides to Die, The Devil and Miss Prym, Eleven Minutes, Like the Flowing River, The Valkyries and The Witch of Portobello. In an interview with ScribD Paolo describes his work: “My literature is totally committed to a new political attitude: man in search of his own identity. It does not deal with the old and worn-out categories of right and left. There is a revolution that is slowly setting up, which the press doesn’t seem to have detected yet. If I had to sum up the whole idea in only one expression, I’d say that the new political attitude for our era is to “die alive.” In other words, being aware of and participating in things until the day we die— PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI 101 something that does not occur very often. People end up dying to the world on the day they renounce their dreams. After that, one departs on a journey as did Ulysses, accepting the challenges and knowing that sometimes one must fight alone, yet understanding he stands in for the entire human race.” In 1996, Paulo, the best-selling author in the Portuguese language, founded the Paulo Coelho Institute, in order to provide aid to children and the elderly. Paulo and his wife maintain two homes, one in Europe and one in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Although he was raised Catholic and regularly attends Mass, he is not a particular fan of the Pope In September 2007, Paulo was named a Messenger of Peace to the United Nations Taken from: http:www.ascensiongateway.comquotespaulo ‐coelhobiography.htm Accessed on July 21, 2011 PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI 102 Appendix 3 The Pictures of Paulo Coelho PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI 103 Appendix 4 LESSON PLAN FOR TEACHING PARAGRAPH WRITING Learning Subject : Paragraph Writing Level of the Students : 2 nd Semester of English Education Study Program Time Allocation : 2 x 50 minutes Topic : Describing Place Material : Paulo Coelho’s The Winner Stands Alone Standard Competence : On completing the course, the students are able to a. compose a good paragraph b. write well using different types of writing genre c. deconstruct the generic and schematic structure of each genre d. find the social purposes and linguistic features of texts e. write texts with the learned genres Basic Competence : The students are able to write well using descriptive genre Learning Indicators : a.
