Abstract

This study aims to examine the journey to maturity of the main character, Landon Carter, in A Walk to Remember by Nicholas Sparks, by analyzing the literary elements that construct it. Employing a textual analysis method, this study is framed within Allport’s (1961) theory of maturity, and to discuss the analysis, Bean and Moni’s (2003) theory of young adult literature is also employed. The findings show that Landon’s journey to maturity is depicted mostly through the use of one literary element, namely characterization peculiar to Reams’ (2015). Based on Allport’s (1961) general criteria of maturity, throughout the story, Landon shows six types of maturity: (1) extension of the sense of self, (2) warm relatedness of self to others, (3) emotional security, (4) realistic perception of skills, (5) self-insight, and (6) unifying philosophy of life, and three types of immaturity: (1) an ego-centric sense of self, (2) emotional insecurity, and (3) lack of self-insight. Based on the analysis, several moral values can be obtained by young adult readers with different perspectives from reading Landon’s journey to maturity, such as the importance of being mature and the struggles of attaining maturity.

Abstract

The National Literacy Movement is widely echoed in the school environment. On the other hand, literacy can also be developed at home for young children by parents. Reading together between parents and children is proven to be able to develop children's literacy. Herein, the Community Service activity which focuses on the initial read aloud training for parents is pivotal. The initial read aloud training aimed to train parents in a village in West Bandung Regency, West Java, to read storybooks to children. This activity was carried out in October 2018, involving 18 parents (mothers) with young children. Through this training, the involved parents showed an awareness, among mothers, of the importance of reading stories at home, selecting story books for children, and reading stories to and/or with children. Through this activity, it is hoped that parents can increase awareness of the importance of supporting literacy from an early age in children and practicing it at home. In addition, it is expected that there will be follow-up trainings such as reading assistance to parents
