Abstract

This study discusses Skeeter's ambition in Kathryn Stockett's The Help. The purpose of this study is to describe Skeeter's ambition, its causes, and its effects. In analyzing Skeeter’s ambition, the writer used the psychological approach and the theory of ambition by Judge and Kammeyer & Mueller. This study employed qualitative research. The findings reveal that Skeeter aspires to become a great writer. Skeeter's ambition is driven by two factors: internal and external. The internal causes of Skeeter's ambition are her deep love and passion for writing, her desire to uncover the truth, and her drive to fight for justice. The external causes of Skeeter's ambition are her wish to change her mother's traditional thought about women, her closeness to her nanny who is an African-American maid, and the social factors in her environment that frequently discriminate against black people. The effects of Skeeter's ambition are also twofold: positive and negative. The positive effects of her ambition are that Skeeter eventually gets a job in New York, and white women become aware of the unfair treatment experienced by African-American maids. The negative effects of her ambition are that Skeeter starts to be shunned by her friends and even ostracized by other white people. She is abandoned by her boyfriend, and African-American maids are fired by white families.

Abstract

Abstract. This study aims to discuss the problem of post-traumatic stress disorder in the novel As Long as the Lemon Tree Grow by Zoulfa Katouh. This study is focused on the symptoms, causes, and effects of post-traumatic stress disorder experienced by the main character in the story. This study uses PTSD theory to analyze post-trauma Salama stress disorder. The research method applied in this study is qualitative, with the literary psychology approach. According to the results of the analysis, there are four symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder experienced by Salam. The first is to avoid reminders of traumatic events, the second is a disturbing mind, the third is feeling anxious and on edge, and the last is the symptom of passion and reactive. The cause of Salama's experience of post-traumatic stress disorder is a terror incident and bomb explosion that occurred in the past that affected his family, and this incident occurred again when he worked in a hospital in Homs. The effects of post-traumatic stress disorder that Salama experienced first were sedative, emotional, and social anxiety. This can be seen in the feelings of greetings because of the dispute that occurs between Salam and the military soldiers. Therefore, it can be concluded that realistic anxiety occurs when there is fear close to danger. Keywords: PTSD, symptoms of PTSD, causes of PTSD, effects of PTSD
