Determined Descr iption of Bu Mus’ Characters

according to village joke, who weren ‟t quite right in the head. Yet Bu Mus and Pak Harfan filled their roles whole-heartedly. They taught every subject. After a day killing herself in class, Bu Mus received sewing orders and worked on lace food covers. She sewed until late into the night. And that was her livelihood. p. 47. Huffman, Vernoy and Vernoy 408 state that in intrinsic motivation, there is not a reward such as money, certificate, or status for someone‟s work, but the reward is his satisfaction in doing something well. Bu Mus is loving and helpful person. For her, helping others like she does to her school and her students is her satisfaction. Bu Mus fulfilled Mister Samadikun‟s trivial and finicky requirements: calculator, compasses, and crayons. She was able to buy a few compasses and some crayons with money from her money from her sewing. And because calculators were very expensive, she bought an abacus instead. The important thing, however, was that we now had two trophies that would certainly impress Mister Samadikun p. 335. She gets satisfaction when she helps her students to fight for their education and dignity. She never thinks about the rewards for the help she gives because as a loving and helpful person, she really enjoys helping others.
