Abstract

This study examines the processes of repentance in Nicholas Sparks' The Last Song, focusing on the protagonist's experiences of resentment and reconciliation. The protagonist's emotional estrangement stems from misunderstandings toward his father and friend, as well as a lack of honesty and effective communication. The objective of this research is to identify and analyze the specific forms and sequential stages of repentance exhibited by the protagonist as a response to these relational conflicts. To achieve this, the study adopts a descriptive qualitative approach, following the framework proposed by Creswell (2013), allowing the analysis and results to be presented in a detailed and interpretive manner. The findings reveal two primary forms of repentance: repentance toward his father and repentance toward his friend, each comprising stages of acknowledgment of wrongdoing, emotional reflection, and efforts to restore trust and relationships. The study underscores the broader significance of repentance, demonstrating how it functions as a mechanism for personal moral development and the repair of interpersonal bonds, highlighting its transformative impact on both the protagonist and the relationships he seeks to mend.

Abstract

This study examines the factors contributing to the protagonist's attitude change in All the Bright Places by Jennifer Niven. The research focuses on how personal experiences and social interactions shape the psychological transformation of the main character. The narrative centers on two adolescents, Violet Markey and Theodore Finch, who struggle with trauma and emotional instability. Violet, in particular, undergoes a significant shift in attitude following the death of her sister, which leads her to become withdrawn and emotionally detached. This study employs a psychological approach to literature, applying Azwar's theory of attitude change to identify influencing factors. A descriptive qualitative method is utilized to analyze textual data in the form of words, phrases, and sentences from the novel. The findings reveal that attitude change is influenced by three key factors: personal experience, the influence of significant others, and emotional factors. Among these, personal trauma and interpersonal relationships emerge as the most dominant factors affecting the protagonist's transformation. This study highlights the complexity of human attitudes and demonstrates how literary works can reflect psychological realities, particularly in the context of adolescent development and coping mechanisms.
Exploring Psychopathic Traits in David Leslie Johnson’s Film Orphan Pardi Pardi; Nadhira Muthia

Abstract

This study examines psychopathic traits through the behavior of the protagonist, Esther, in David Leslie Johnson's movie Orphan (2009), using Hare's (1999) psychopathy framework. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed, with data collected through detailed observation of Esther's actions and interactions in the film. The findings indicate that Esther exhibits core psychopathic traits, including a lack of empathy, poor behavioral control, and manipulativeness. She demonstrates emotional detachment and indifference to the suffering of others, responds impulsively to provocation, and deceives those around her to gain trust and influence. These behaviors reveal a profound disregard for moral and social norms, highlighting that psychopathy can be hidden behind an outwardly innocent appearance. This study contributes to the growing intersection between literary criticism, film studies, and psychological analysis by demonstrating how cinematic narratives can reflect clinically recognized personality disorders. The study underscores the importance of critical evaluation and vigilance in assessing individuals, as external appearances may not reflect underlying psychological dispositions.

Abstract

This study uses Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) to examine women's language politeness in Facebook status updates. Fewer studies have looked at how politeness functions as a gendered discursive practice in digital communication, despite the fact that it has historically been studied as a pragmatic strategy for reducing face-threatening acts. Drawing on Brown and Levinson’s politeness theory and Fairclough’s three-dimensional model of CDA, this qualitative study analyzes 50 Facebook status updates posted by female users. The findings reveal that women predominantly employ positive politeness, negative politeness, and off-record strategies to maintain social harmony, manage face, and negotiate public self-presentation. At the discursive level, politeness functions as a normative expectation shaping women’s online identities, while at the socio cultural level, it operates as an ideological resource that reproduces gendered norms of emotional labor, relational responsibility, and self-regulation. This study contributes to pragmatics and critical discourse studies by reconceptualizing politeness not merely as an interpersonal strategy but as a socially embedded and ideologically loaded practice in digital discourse. Keywords: politeness, women’s language, Facebook status updates, gender, critical discourse analysis, digital discourse
