Abstract

Poetry has a mystery contained in the choice of words a magical touch that can make the reader lulled. Through structures, certain issues can be addressed in a deeper analysis. The researcher focuses on the poetic device of Luisa Gluck's poetry "An Adventure". Poetic approach is used to find out the characteristics of poetry and to find out the values. There are two research problems in this study: what are the poetic tools used in the poetry and how are the results of using rubric. The first is answered by using a poetic device approach. Poetry is analysed based on the type of poetic devices: allegory, alliteration, figure of speech, imagery, assonance etc. The second is answered by calculating scores using rubric. A good poem can be judged by considering several important points to get a rating of whether a poem is bad, fair, good or very good

Abstract

This study investigated the strategies used by students of different ethnic groups (Batak, Javanese, and Malay) in refusing requests. A total of 30 participants were involved in this research. Each ethnic group was represented by 10 students that came from three different universities in Medan, Indonesia. Discourse Completion Test (DCT) was used to collect the data. Data were analyzed by using refusal categorization. The results showed that the participants preferred to use indirect refusal strategies to respond to lecturer’s requests, and followed by direct and adjunct strategies respectively. This study also indicated that Batak students performed refusal acts more direct than any other Javanese or Malay students. Meanwhile Javanese students tend to employ refusals more indirect compared to any other students. The Malay students performed the acts moderately. The results indicated that the refusal strategies used by the students of three different cultural backgrounds might be influenced by their cultural circumstances. Future studies should be undertaken to investigate the phenomena in different research settings with more participants to be involved.
