Abstract

This research emphasizes the use of the monomyth concept in Ernest Cline's Ready Player One novel. The researcher chooses the related novel because of the heroic theme that embodied within the novel. The purpose of this research is to analyze the heroic adventure of Wade Watts in Cline's novel. To analyze the concept of the hero's journey in Cline's Ready Player One, the researcher uses the monomyth concept based on Campbell's 'Hero with the Thousand Faces Commemorative Edition' (2004). There were several studies related to the hero's journey; most of many researchers use monomyth theory by Christopher Vogler. Meanwhile, in this article, the researcher uses Joseph Campbell's monomyth concept, which has seventeen monomythic stages with more detailed and elaborate on the explanation compared to Vogler. Therefore the step of the heroic journey can be well delivered to the reader. Working on this research, the researcher uses a descriptive approach to the qualitative method. Based on the final result of the research, the researcher concludes that the main character indeed depicted as a hero, and the monomyth concept is also applied in "Ready Player One" novel.

Abstract

Nature is essential to our lives. Unfortunately, the widespread influence of modernism and industrial progress results to environmental pollution and destruction of the nature. Ecocriticism study is thereby projected to awaken self-awareness and sense of belonging to human beings towards the nature. This study is thus aimed to discuss and integrate the nature of Ecocriticism in English language teaching, particularly in the applications in lesson plans and teaching materials. The results show that Ecocriticism disseminates the issues of environmental crisis and the necessity of saving the nature and therefore taking the roles of literature to lead people virtue and right is necessary. English teachers is unequivocally became “green” moral agents. They have new responsibilities to use literature to not only teach English skills and components, but also to embed and spread the virtues of loving the nature to the students. Thus, the concept of Eco-ELT derived from the terms of Ecociticism and English Language Teaching (ELT) was coined and introduced. Eco-ELT worked on a basis postulate that literary works could be an avenue to teach English and ecology at the same time. The selections and applications of the literary works therefore mattered. This study provided samples and principles of designing eco-lesson plan and selecting and designing eco-teaching materials. Importantly, this study expounded the areas of eco-English materials necessary for English teachers.
