Abstract

This research aimed at improving the ability of the X MIA 3 students of Senior High School 2 Lamongan in writing descriptive text through the implementation of process writing strategy facilitated by weblogs. This research was a collaborative action research which consisted of four stages: planning, implementing, observing, and reflecting. The data required were gathered by using observation checklists, field notes, and questionnaire. The results of the above-mentioned instruments indicate that the students show their active participation and good interest in attending the learning activity. The group discussion regarding the assigned objects in the pre-writing stage and the implementation of media weblogs can make the students participate more actively when the learning procedure is implemented. Meanwhile, the writing ability of the students also improves as proven by the fact that every student can successfully increase his/her score in at least 10 points, which indicates an improvement to a higher level. It is also found that all of the writing aspects, such as content, organization, and language are improved due to the activity of pre-writing that the students do. The observation towards the assigned objects and idea generation makes the students have a clear plan regarding what to write on the draft.

Abstract

This research aims to conduct a speech acts analysis performed by the character of Thomas Shelby in Peaky Blinders Series Season 1. The study seeks to explore the different types of speech acts used by Thomas Shelby and their corresponding meanings. A descriptive qualitative method is employed for this research. Data collection involves the following steps: (1) Carefully and repeatedly watching Peaky Blinders Season 1 on Netflix, (2) Reading the script of Peaky Blinders Series Season 1, (3) Identifying and extracting data from the series' movie scenes and script, (4) Analysing the collected data. The data analysis process includes displaying, defining, classifying, discussing, and drawing conclusions based on the findings. The analysis of Thomas Shelby's speech acts in Peaky Blinders Series Season 1 reveals intriguing patterns in his communication style. Primarily employing assertive speech acts, Thomas displays confidence and strategic leadership in managing the family's illicit activities. Additionally, commissive speech acts demonstrate his sense of responsibility and loyalty through promises and commitments. Expressive speech acts provide insight into his emotions, wit, and humour, contributing to his multifaceted personality. Explicit declarations, however, appear to be absent, which could be attributed to the specific dialogues examined. This analysis sheds light on Thomas Shelby's communication style and its influence on the dynamics within his family and criminal endeavours. Further research could explore the evolution of his speech acts and character in subsequent seasons, providing more in-depth insights into his development as a character.

Abstract

This study provides a comprehensive analysis of the film "The Platform" through the lens of Marxist critique, focusing on its portrayal of social classes and the impact of the capitalist system on social relations. Using a qualitative content analysis approach, the study examines the film's symbolic elements, metaphorical significance, and key dialogues and interactions. The findings reveal how the vertical prison structure symbolizes social hierarchy, with opulent banquets for the upper levels and scraps for the lower levels representing wealth disparity. The random assignment of prisoners each month illustrates the arbitrary nature of social mobility in capitalist societies. Additional symbols, such as Miharu’s search for her child and the act of sending the child back to the top, highlight themes of exploitation and the potential for revolutionary change. The study also explores the metaphorical significance of the vertical prison, critiquing the illusion of meritocracy and the systemic barriers to social advancement. Key dialogues emphasize social tensions, power dynamics, and ethical dilemmas faced by individuals within an exploitative system. This detailed examination extends previous research by providing a nuanced understanding of how "The Platform" critiques capitalist ideologies and highlights systemic social inequalities. The study underscores the film's significance as a critique of capitalist social structures and its potential to inspire discourse on social justice and equity. Future research could explore the film’s impact on audiences and compare it with other dystopian narratives.
