Abstract

This research is a descriptive qualitative study that analyzes the signs on the cover of the novel House of Hunger by Alexis Henderson and the parts of the signs that represent the content of the story. The aims of this research are: (1) To find out what signs are on the cover of the novel House of Hunger; (2) To find out how the signs on the cover represent the contents of the novel. This research data was obtained by reading novels. Data analysis uses an descriptive analysis model which includes data condensation, data display, and drawing conclusions (Huberman & Saldana, 2014). This research uses Charles Sanders Peirce's semiotic approach to analyze the signs on the cover of the novel House of Hunger. Based on the research results, the author found 3 types of signs on the cover of the novel House of Hunger: Icon, Index and Symbol. The data obtained were 10 signs on the novel cover, 4 of which were icons, 3 indexes, and 3 symbols. All the signs on each book cover represent the content of the story in the novel such as characters, situations, settings, conflict and characterization.
