The subjectivity in the history of the story will appear when there are two people tells the same historical event. This difference can arise because the storyteller gives an interpretation of that event he says. For example when we interviewed people who have experienced or see the Bandung Fire Ocean event. Possible people who are tells the story of Bandung Sea of ​​Fire will be different tell it between one another. If what we interviewed is a person soldiers involved in the war against the Dutch, maybe he will tell event of the Bandung Ocean of Fire in the perspective of himself as a soldier
who always fought at that time. But if we interviewed for example a farmer, maybe he did not tell too much about the events of Bandung The Ocean of Fire as part of Indonesia's current struggle strategy
that.

Historical stories presented can be either oral and written. If we listen to someone tell about the events of Bandung Lautan Fire, then it includes the category of oral stories. But if we want to know
event of Bandung Ocean of Fire by reading books that tell stories about Bandung Ocean of Fire, then it is included in the story form categories writing.

Lately we often see many important figures writing his biography. The book usually tells a lot about events important to be seen or experienced by the character. The character who wrote the biography
it will give its own judgment about an event. These events can be judged as something positive or negative. But, if we read the biography of other characters about the same event as has been written by the previous figure, will likely gives a different impression. For example a figure who supports events the 1998 reforms in Indonesia will state that such events as something positive in building democratization in Indonesia. Instead for a character who feels aggrieved his position with the event
reform, there is likely to give a bad judgment against events of reform.

Interes and Values

The interest in the writing of history is largely determined by the purpose of writing history. In the writing of history, various interests appear, whether personal, group, or formally state. For example in writing history as a subject in school, then very prominent state interests. Teaching history at school has mission to build the spirit of nationalism. Hence, the writing of history textbooks must contain national values. Which events written selected and selected for the purpose of planting national values. It may be an event written in a school history textbook in contrast to the results of a new historical study. Textbook lesson history does not include historical facts based on the results of that research only if the facts found are contrary to the interests teaching history at school. Similarly, in the writing of history which is colored by individual interests. A character will write history himself or his biography with the aim of accentuating those roles he did. He sees that history does not include him.

The story of a struggle written by a retired officer about the resistance the nation of Indonesia in the face of the Netherlands, will be colored with high values ​​of nationalism. The story of how heroism is
fighters in the face of colonialism. The fighters are described as those who fought in defense of the truth. Dutch or the invaders are portrayed as dishonest parties for colonizing it contrary to the principles of humanity, while the fighters are on the right side.

The Social Group

Professions owned by the author of history will color the results of writing. Historians, journalists, teachers, free writers and others, are forms profession. These professions can be called social groups. In social groups, usually individuals associate with or relate to others work or status. Not a few of the professions who are not historians writing history.

Each of these social groups is likely to be different within provide an interpretation of the history he wrote. A historian, will write history using the academic rules of science history. The steps of historical research as one of the disciplines science will be used by historians in writing history. In
this, history becomes a scientific writing. The importance is to academic environment, for example in college. The teacher profession as an educator will show the writing of history for interests of educational values. This can be seen in my book history lessons in school. Historical events are displayed not for academic interest that is scientific, but intended for interests of educational values ​​that are practical.

The Treasury of Knowledge

Knowledge possessed by a person will affect the written works of history he wrote. Profession owned by someone can be a measure of how much knowledge it has. Knowledge can be either fact knowledge or knowledge of science knowledge. Writers who have a lot of knowledge of facts, then
the story of history will be more complete, detailed, and provide information more.

As already noted, knowledge in science can influence in the narrative of historical narratives. A person who has the history of science will be different from those who do not have history science. Historians will be rich with writing approaches, compared with a teacher, so that his historical work will too provide a different interpretation.

A history writer who comes from historians or people who have an educational background in history, will have a difference in telling history with people who are not historians or not has an educational background in history. In telling a story a historical event, a historian or a person with a background historical education, will use analysis based on the methodology and the theory it uses. Not just a narrative story or only presents a series of time and events. History basically is the history of society, hence historians will see society as a structure. In the context of time how the structure changed. For example how the changes that occur to society in a village from 1970-1980 when the emergence of industrialization in the form of construction factories in the village area? Are people changing jobs from farmers to motorcycle taxi drivers; from farmers to construction laborers or from
farmers into factory workers?
