The objective of this research is to analyze students’ introductory paragraph in writing academic essay in forms of the analysis of the general statements and thesis statement. This research was qualitative research and the data was collected from students’ writing. The respondents of this research were third semester students of English literature study program. The result of the analysis shows that most of the students’ essay (90,7%) put general statements on introductory paragraph. It shows good result in practice because students already know the importance of general statements in introductory paragraph. Students comprehend and implement the main function of general statements, i.e. to attract the reader’s attention. In addition, it was also revealed that there were 68,5% of the students’ essay put thesis statement on introductory paragraph. The result is quite satisfying, although there are some of the essays not contain thesis statement. Indeed, thesis statement is important in writing introductory paragraph because it functions to state the specific subdivisions of the topic and/or the “plan” of the paper.

Abstract

Permasalahan mengenai isu gender sudah mulai mendapatkan perhatian dan seringkali menjadi bahan perbincangan. Namun begitu, kesadaran masyarakat akan kesetaraan gender masih cukup rendah sehingga perlu dicanangkan kegiatan untuk meningkatkan kesadaran dan kepedulian akan permasalahan gender kepada masyarakat luas. Kegiatan semacam itu seharusnya bukan saja menargetkan orang dewasa, tetapi juga para remaja karena hal ini akan sangat berpengaruh terhadap pola pikir mereka saat dewasa. Kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini bertujuan meningkatkan pemahaman kesadaran gender dan perilaku kesetaraan gender pada siswa SMA di kota. Para siswa SMAN 5 Purwokerto yang tergabung dalam English Conversation Club (ECC) dipilih sebagai target sasaran kegiatan. Media film juga digunakan dalam kegiatan ini untuk memudahkan pemahaman para peserta. Metode yang digunakan dalam kegiatan ini dilaksanakan secara terstruktur dan sistematis, dimulai dari survey terhadap pihak mitra, identifikasi permasalahan, persiapan program kegiatan, pelaksanaan kegiatan PkM, dan yang terakhir evaluasi jalannya kegiatan. Program PkM ini dilaksanakan dalam bentuk kegiatan English Movie Club yang mencakup kegiatan ceramah, menonton film dengan isu gender, berdiskusi mengenai isu gender dalam film, dan membuat movie review pada kurun waktu Maret hingga Juni 2022.  Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan bahwa terjadi peningkatan pemahaman para siswa terhadap isu gender. Hal ini dapat diketahui melalui evaluasi kuesioner jawaban para siswa dan hasil dari movie review yang telah mereka kumpulkan. Selain meningkatkan pemahaman isu gender, kegiatan dapat meningkatkan kompetensi menulis dan kepercayaan diri para siswa untuk mempublikasikan karya mereka.These days, gender issues have begun to get attention and are often a subject of discussion. However, public consciousness of gender awareness and gender equality is still quite low. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct activities to increase awareness and concern for gender issues in the wider community. Such activities should target adults and teenagers because it will greatly affect their mindset as adults. Based on that idea, this community service activity aims to increase understanding of gender awareness and gender equality behaviour in high school students. The students of SMAN 5 Purwokerto who are members of the English Conversation Club (ECC) extracurricular were chosen as the target of the activity. Film media was also used in this activity to facilitate providing understanding to the participants. Furthermore, the method used in this activity was structured and systematic, starting from a partner survey, identification of problems, preparation of activity programs, implementation of PkM activities, and evaluation of the course of activities. This PkM program is carried out in the form of English Movie Club activities which include lectures, watching films with gender issues, and making movie reviews starting from March to June 2022. The results of the activity showed that there was an increase in students' understanding of gender issues. This can be known by evaluating the students' answers to the questionnaire and the results of their movie reviews. In addition to increasing understanding of gender issues, activities can increase students' writing competence and boost their confidence to publish their work.

Abstract

Black Widow is a sci-fi superhero movie directed by Cate Shortland. This movie narrates the lives of the black widows under the control of a secret crime organization called the Red Room Academy. In Black Widow, Natasha Romanoff as the main character and ex-black widow is shown taking down the Red Room Academy and its male leader, Dreykov. This current study utilizes a poststructural feminism approach and the concept of kyriarchy in literature to reveal the poststructural feminism inclination and the portrayal of kyriarchy in the movie. This study uses poststructural feminism and Susan Fiorenza's concept of kyriarchy as the theories. In analyzing the data, this currrent study uses visual narrative approach. The analysis reveals the postructural feminisim inclinations portrayed by Natasha Romanoff in two categories, those are infiltration and act of self-sacrifice. Moreover, the portrayal of kyriarchy is revealed through the Red Room Academy's system and Dreykov's sexist belief. This explains how sexist belief and the practice of kyriarchy by Dreykov affects the women as the target of oppression. Thus, no matter what the situation is, women are always at a disadvantage.

Abstract

Every woman has different nature either being strong or being weak. Not all women have a lucky fate; in fact, many of them become the victims of men. Of the many cases of violence and sexual harassment in the world, women mostly become victims, especially in cases of sexual acts without consent. In Promising Young Woman (2020), these issues are conveyed very well. Its main character, Cassandra, carries out a mission that targets men who try to take advantage of drunken women to become deterrent and frightened. The purpose of this qualitative study on the film is aimed to discuss the behavior of radical feminism living in the character of Cassandra. Cassandra reflects a radical feminist attitude in order to achieve revenge and conveys a message about women's rights to obtain justice. Radical feminism occurs based on three key issues namely sexual objectification of women, rape, and patriarchy. The result shows that Cassandra can fully be claimed as a radical feminist because there are several characteristics of radical feminism that match the nature and behavior of Cassandra in the film, which are opposing sexual objectification of women, opposing sexism, and toxic masculinity, lastly patriarchy.
