Abstract

This study examines anticipatory grief experienced by Conor O’Malley in Patrick Ness’s A Monster Calls (2011) through a literary psychology perspective. Using a qualitative descriptive method, the analysis focuses on narrative events, characterization, dialogue, monologue, setting, dreams, and symbolic elements associated with Conor’s response to his mother’s terminal illness. The findings show that Conor’s anticipatory grief is constructed through changes in family life, social isolation, emotional suppression, symbolic encounters with the monster, and increasing awareness of impending maternal loss. His responses can be interpreted through denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance, yet these categories do not occur in a fixed or linear sequence. Instead, they overlap, recur, and change according to Conor’s emotional condition and the progression of his mother’s illness. The monster and the yew tree function as symbolic mechanisms that externalize suppressed fear, guilt, hope, and inner conflict. Ultimately, Conor’s journey reflects psychological adaptation and meaning reconstruction, showing that acceptance involves acknowledging loss while maintaining emotional attachment to his mother. The novel therefore demonstrates literature’s capacity to represent the complex emotional realities of children confronting anticipated parental death.

Abstract

This article investigates the error analysis of the utilization of the simple past tense among students of Writing IV class focusing on their short story composition. The study aims to identify prevalent errors and patterns in the application of the simple past tense while creating short stories. Employing qualitative research methods, the study evaluates a representative sample of writing produced by the students. Through systematic error analysis, the study categorizes and analyzes the errors in terms of verb conjugation, tense consistency, and contextual appropriateness. The findings shed light on common challenges faced by students in grasping the nuances of the simple past tense. There were 85 work pieces used to gather the data and analyze the errors in using the simple past tense. Finally, the data were categorized into four types of errors, such as misordering, misformation, addition, and omission. Moreover, the study concentrates on potential factors contributing to these errors, such as the students' linguistic backgrounds, learning materials, and classroom instruction. The research's conclusions emphasize how important it is to use focused language teaching techniques to improve students' understanding of grammatical structures. In the end, this study advances our pedagogical knowledge on how to teach grammar successfully, especially when it comes to developing precise language abilities in the context of creative writing. It is anticipated that requiring the students to create short stories in the simple past tense will improve their comprehension of how tenses are formed.
