Abstract

This research discusses the needs of a character named Brianna Jackson in On the Come Up novel by Angie Thomas. The theory applied for the study is the hierarchy of needs theory proposed by Maslow and characterization theory by Kenan. Under the umbrella of qualitative research, this study uses the psychological criticism approach to find out whether Brianna is able to fulfill all her needs and her character portrayal based on how she fulfills her needs. Living as a struggling sixteen year-old girl always challenges Brianna to attain even her most basic needs. The analysis reveals that Brianna manages to satisfy her physiological need, safety need, love and belongingness need, and esteem need. However, her self-actualization need is failed to be fulfilled due to some of Brianna’s actions being unfit as a self-actualizing person. Out of fifteen required characteristics in self-actualization, there are only five of them that are found in Brianna. The other eight characteristics were unfulfilled since they contradicted with Brianna’s behavior. Meanwhile, the other two were not reflected. Nonetheless, the exploration of her actions in fulfilling her needs also unveils the way Brianna’s character is portrayed in the novel. It turns out that Brianna is an argumentative, impulsive, confident, and determined character who always tries her best in securing her needs no matter how hard things get for her.

Abstract

As a black Nigerian woman who married an immigrant, Chinaza from The Arrangers of Marriage (2009) short story had to go to the United States of America and live with her husband. Being in an unfamiliar environment made her feel isolated, especially with her marriage being an arrangement in which she had no say. This research aims to reveal Chinaza’s lack of agency in gaining her voice and how it affects her alienation in a new environment. By using a qualitative descriptive method, this research applies a postcolonial approach with the help of Gayatri Spivak’s subaltern and Homi Bhabha’s unhomeliness concept. The results show that Chinaza is a subaltern who is silenced and marginalized in both her patriarchal family and her new environment in the United States. In addition, her new life in a foreign country made her feel confined between two cultures, which couldn’t seem to accept her nor was she able to accept completely. The feeling of “unhomely” that Chinaza experienced was not solely caused by living in a foreign country, but also because of her husband urging her to abandon her culture.
