In both novels, each describes the competencies possessed by a teacher in the learning process. This is proven by the success that occurred in Waskito's character who turned into a good and obedient child because of Mrs. Suci's patience and persistence in guiding him. Apart from that, in the Novel Laskar Pelangi there is teacher competence in the characters Bu Mus and Pak Harfan. Thus, the two novels have something in common, namely the teacher competency possessed by the teacher character. The difference between the two novels is the number of different teacher characters. In the novel Two Day Meeting, there is only one teacher who is persistent and patient, namely Mrs. Suci. Meanwhile, in the novel Laskar Pelangi there are two teacher characters who are described as patient, loving and active, namely Mr. Harfan and Mrs. Mus with the full name Muslimah.]]>
