Abstract

This article underlines the perspective of sacrifice in a flash fiction of Ralph Henry Barbour & George Randolph Osborne entitled Thicker Than Water. Sacrifice is a gift for a better view of the future as it is in line with the short story that shows a sacrifice of a brother to his beloved sister who needs to be blood donated because her blood is thinner than ordinary blood. Through qualitative method in explorative approach, this paper points to the relation between Bataille’s theory and Barbour & Osborne’s short story. In analysis, Barbour & Osborn’s short story shows the sacrifice and sincerity of an older brother who had to donate a lot of blood and even hold the pain for the sake of his younger sister in order to save her from dying. In conclusion, sacrifice in this story is engaged with sincerity in which all goodness of one's self is given to the other.

Abstract

This article explores how the movie Everything Everywhere All at Once, written by Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, depicts existential despair through Evelyn Wang’s persistent doubts and uncertainties. As the story unfolds, Evelyn is thrown into the multiverse, where she encounters numerous versions of herself, overwhelming her with never-ending possibilities. These encounters lead her to question her choices, as well as her sense of purpose and self-worth. The ongoing uncertainty about which version of herself is “right” or “real” drives Evelyn into a state of existential despair, intensifying her feelings of hopelessness. By applying Kierkegaard’s theory of existential despair and qualitative method, this research analyzes how Evelyn’s internal conflict reflects the dread and disorientation that emerge when individuals face the uncertainty of their existence. In conclusion, through an examination of Evelyn’s perception of freedom and identity, also shaped by her doubts, the psychological and philosophical weight of uncertainty in the quest for authenticity and purpose are underscored further.

Abstract

This article exposes the crucial points of narratology to expand knowledge of everyday life. This writing is based on community service done to elementary students in Wisma Penjaringan Sari, Rungkut, Surabaya from 2023 to 2024. Narratology mainly emphasizes matters of narrative structures indicated through perceptions of the cultural world as supported by Tzvetan Todorov. Everyday life is understood as reflections of complex actualizations of plural identities in the sense of the living world. Through explorative approach in qualitative research, this paper digs more understanding of everyday life as stories of experience and taste of the people. Putting focus on narrations of the people, the analysis accentuates more into knowledge of everyday life as a never-ending process. It is a continuous understanding being underlined through meanings of individual experience in everyday life. Furthermore, narrative structures include matters of other individuals as otherness. In conclusion, narratology is significant in expanding knowledge of everyday life especially in widening perspectives of otherness through understanding of own self.

Abstract

This study explores the altruistic qualities of Posey, the main character in Mitch Albom’s novel For One More Day, focusing on her voluntary and intentional behaviors as expressions of altruism. Altruism is defined as selfless concern for the welfare of others, often manifested without expectation of reward. Using qualitative methods and character analysis, this study examines Posey’s acts of sacrifice, emotional support, and moral guidance, specifically in her relationship with her son, Charley Benetto. Her behaviors—from defending her son against unfair judgment to creating lasting emotional bonds—are voluntary and intentional, reflecting a deep commitment to the welfare of others. In conclusion, this study confirms that altruism in the literature can be explained by consistent and intentional actions that prioritize the needs of others over personal gain.
