Abstract

This article examines the relationship between Boris Pasternak’s life and his artistic expression through his later poems. Following Wellek & Warren’s (1954) qualitative biographical analysis of Pasternak, which is basically associated with the qualitative method, we examined his personal narrative that contributed to the formation of his poetic voice. Data were taken from Pasternak’s later poems, namely “When It Clears Up” (1956-1959)–to Pasternak’s life stories, mainly taken from Pasternak’s biography by Hingley (2021) and the compilations of his letters to his family and friends (Slater, 2010). This study revealed that the events in his life greatly influenced his creation because they became the key motif of his narrative. The death of his brother and sister was influential in his studies of mortality and death, including grief. Peredelkino was a small village, and his longer period of stay helped him to have a chance to escape in nature and to experience loneliness to the greatest extent. In addition, his poetic work carries the features left by his teachers Alexander Skryabin and Hermann Cohen. To make up for the criticism of Belyi, whom he met in the summer of 1911, Skryabin offered Pasternak the aesthetic ideals of the latter work, developing the principles of poetry. Thus, in addition to recommending for Pasternak’s literary reading material other authors’ opinions on various philosophical issues, Cohen’s philosophic teaching enriched Pasternak’s outlook on the world and launched the latter on his poetic path. Understanding the specifics of Pasternak’s late poems provides knowledge of his life shots and the interconnectedness between his experiences and creation. The novelty of this study is reflected in the integration of a biographical analysis with a poetic interpretation. Such an approach uniquely combines the qualitative biographical analysis with a close reading of Pasternak’s later poems.

Abstract

Abstract. Many students still struggle with reading comprehension, particularly in the areas of identifying topics, using proper grammar, understanding meaning, and expanding vocabulary. This study focuses on determining the effectiveness of applying the Cooperative Integrated Reading and Composition (CIRC) model in reading comprehension, especially in composing recount text. It focuses on finding solutions to the students' reading issues in relation to the four aspects including topic, grammar,   meaning,   and   vocabulary.   The pre-experimental research design was used to carry out this research. Pre-test observations in class were also carried out by researchers before implementing the CIRC model. After carrying out the pre-test, the CIRCL model continued to be applied in class. Random sampling was used with 30 students of VIII D Secondary School in Bandung. During the course of the investigation, classes were observed and reading assessments, including pre-tests and post-tests, were administered to students. The results of this research indicated that CIRC use both individually and in groups significantly helps students' reading comprehension abilities. It was shown that the students' active participation in the implementation of CIRC model enhanced their reading comprehension abilities. Students also demonstrated positive outcomes towards numerous activities and features of the CIRC model.  This study suggests that the CIRC model can be integrated into teaching strategies in school to improve reading skills, and also encourages collaborative learning, which is essential for students’ social development in the classroom.Keywords: CIRC Model, reading comprehension, recount text
