Abstract

This research aims to discover the types of narrative text through listening to video games. The research focuses focusing enhancing students’ listening skills through narrative text appearing in video games and how listening can be enhanced by narrative text video games. This research uses a qualitative descriptive method. The researcher collected some data through the video games and then continued to classify them into narrative text analysis, especially linear structure, and branch structure. The researcher employed E. Kleinman Carstensdottir and M.S El-Nasr’s theory to analyze the texts and filter them into the linear structure and branch structure categories. The results show that linear structures have cutscenes, character interactions, and task completion. The video games that represent this analysis to enhance listening are taken from Alan Wake 2. The branch structures have multiple endings, dialogue trees, and quick-times events. The video games that represent this analysis to enhance listening are taken from Detroit: Become Human. This analysis shows that narrative video games provide an effective and leisurely way for individuals to practice and enhance their listening skill.

Abstract

This article examines Lee Harker's character growth in movie "Longlegs", concentrating on her emotional journey and the significance of family ties. The study looks at how Harker's tragic history and psychic talents influence her identity as an FBI agent, drawing on Hurlock's theory on emotional determinants. The movie is divided into three sections, each of which shows a different aspect of Harker's personality as she faces Longlegs, the serial murderer. The results demonstrate how Harker's journey exemplifies more general concepts of morality, autonomy, and the effects of hereditary trauma. The emotional burden of her family history affects her decision-making and interpersonal interactions while she conducts her inquiry, highlighting the significance of emotional intelligence in overcoming hardship. Ultimately, this approach emphasizes how important story is as a tool for examining nuanced human experiences in both literature and film. The article's focus on Harker's character arc illustrates the importance of storytelling in forming social ideals and interpersonal relationships while also enhancing our knowledge of how tales reflect and impact views of trauma and personal progress.
