This study discusses the kind of child abuse and the impact of child abuse in Delia Owens' Where the Crawdads Sing. This study uses the child abuse theory by Christiane Sanderson and takes a psychological approach as it examines real-life phenomena. A qualitative approach is used as a method of research. The analysis reveals that Kya experiences physical abuse, emotional abuse, and neglect, primarily inflicted by her father and further exacerbated by the abandonment of her parents and siblings.

Abstract

This article aims to discuss the issue of anxiety in Akemi Dawn Bowman's Starfish. The objectives of this study are to find the causes, effects, and types of anxiety experienced by the main character in the story. This study uses the psychoanalysis theory by Sigmund Freud to analyze Kiko's anxiety. The research method applied in this study is qualitative, with a psychology of literature approach. From the results of the analysis, there are four causes of the anxiety experienced by Kiko. The first is an experience that happens to Kiko in the past, caused by her uncle. The second is the conflict between Kiko and her mother. The third is Kiko’s environment, and the last is frustration. The effects of Kiko's anxiety are emotional effect and social anxiety. This can be seen from her feelings of anger because of the dispute that occurs between Kiko and her mother. Therefore, it can be concluded that Kiko's anxiety is categorized as neurotic and realistic anxiety. Neurotic anxiety comes from the id, which is an unconscious feeling so that it often loses its emotions such as sadness, anger, panic, and so on. Realistic anxiety occurs when there is a sense of fear of approaching danger.

Abstract

This thesis explores how Ann Patchett’s Tom Lake captures and expresses the unspoken emotional atmosphere of rural American life during the COVID-19 pandemic through the lens of Raymond Williams’s theory of the "structure of feeling." Focusing on the novel’s portrayal of small-town community, familial labor, and generational memory, the research examines how emotions like longing, resignation, care, and quiet agency shape character identity and social relationships. Using Williams’s cultural materialism as a theoretical foundation, the study reveals how Tom Lake reflects the lived experiences of individuals whose emotions are deeply entangled with historical and socio-economic change, yet often remain unarticulated. The cherry farm, as both a physical and emotional space, becomes the central site where the past and present converge, offering a poignant setting in which Lara and her daughters navigate memory, loss, and continuity. Through narrative analysis, this thesis argues that Patchett’s use of everyday life, particularly under crisis conditions, mirrors the emotional undercurrents of a transitional era. The novel does not dramatize suffering but instead reveals the quiet persistence of meaning and feeling in ordinary routines. The result of this study demonstrates literature’s capacity to render the emotional truth of a historical moment visible through subtle, shared, and deeply human experiences. Keywords: COVID-19, Cultural Materialism, Rural Life, Structure of Feeling
