The short stories recording the October Events represent the
October 14, 1973 and the October 6, 1976 events and emphasize on
violent scene and how people and college student were passive, revealed
by stories’ details and themes under limited focalization from the student
side. There is main typical noticeable structure that is the student and the
state performing as hero and villain or the passive and the active.
The violence and the passive role, resulting to and image of
innocent and sacrifice of the student, produce some meaning or
understanding to history of the October events, namely the October events
are severe violence of unfair fight between people and the state. This
discourse speaks to historical knowledge, both national history and the
October event’s history studied by historians, who mostly are people
experiencing the October events. In the national history, the discourse
produced by the short stories attacks and challenges silence or unexplained
history of the October events in the national historical stream which has
main plot about protesting the national independence, unity and respect to
the essential Royal institute. In the other historical aspect of the October
events itself, the short stories merely repeat the issue about violence and
crime that the state commits to people. However, they don’t explain any
possible justification of the events unlikely the attempt of the historian.
