Abstract

This study questions how the narrative voice of Henry James’s The Aspern Papers shapes the reader's understanding of the narrator’s motives concerning Juliana’s letters received from Jeffrey Aspern. This is qualitative analytical research in which ‘unreliable narrator’ theory was used to analyze and discuss the data from primary and secondary resources. This paper also links Booth’s idea to Schneider’s critics about unreliable narrator theory. Although The Aspern Papers’ narrator is unreliable due to his unpredictable and unstable actions, the researcher argues that The Aspern Papers’ narrator who also becomes the main character of the story wants to possess Juliana’s letters for his benefits. Should he get the letters, he would be able to “sell” Aspern’s life to the public, and thus he could get financial profit or personal profit for his career as a journalist, a writer, or a publisher.

Abstract

This study explores how West Kalimantan folklore can be integrated into a children's literature class at STBA Pontianak through a creative writing project. The aims are to encourage students to understand local culture through storytelling and identify the elements of folklore. The analysis is based on three selected stories: The Curse of Jubata (Kapuas Hulu), The Adventure in Lawang Kuari Cave (Sekadau), and The Adventure of Bujang Beji (Sintang). The study uses Alan Dundes’ theory (2007) to examine students’ writing using four folkloristic elements: Tradition, Cultural Transmission, Variation, and Group Consciousness. The findings show that the stories reflect continuity of local beliefs, moral values, and harmony among communities, predominantly Dayak and Malay, as appeared in the chosen stories. The study suggests that Dundes’s framework can serve as a practical tool for developing creative writing rubrics in a multicultural classroom. By linking folkloristic theory with pedagogy, teachers can help students appreciate their cultural heritage while strengthening critical and creative skills.  Future research should validate this rubric and explore broader applications of folklore-based learning across different cultural settings.
