Abstract

This study analyzed the effects of transracial adoption toward children’s psychology. Transracial adoption means the joining of racially different parents and children together in adoptive families (Hall and Steinberg, 2003:1). There are positive and negative effects of transracial adoption which are still debated. This final project was aimed at analyzing how transracial adoption affects children’s psychology as reflected in Bullets on the Bund. The objectives of the study is answering the statements of problem: first, how transracial adoption is revealed in Bullets on the Bund; second, what are the effects of trasracial adoption toward children’s psychology as reflected in the novel; third, what are the suggested ways to overcome effects of trasracial adoption toward children’s psychology. I employed Steve Whan’s novel Bullets on the Bund as the object of this study. This study is a descriptive qualitative study with Psychology of Literature as the approach. It is descriptive qualitative since the data of the study are in the form of words, phrases, sentences, narrations and dialogues and I did not employ computation. The data were gained by reading the novel thoroughly, identifying, inventorying, and classifying; then the analysis was done by selecting and explaining. There are several findings as the investigation result. First, transracial adoption is revealed implicitly in the novel since the plot of the novel is about the adventure of transracially adopted child. Second, transracial adoption can affect adopted children’s psychology. The psychological effects of transracial adoption found in the novel are: children may suffer feeling of loss, rejection, grief, and confusion of identity. Third, there are some ways to overcome the effects of transracial adoption, they are: letting children know the truth, support group, developing sense of racial identity. However, adoptive family support is the most important role to overcome the effects of transracial adoption toward children psychology. Adoptive parents love and care can decrease the negative effects of transracial adoption. Whereas the openness of children feeling toward situation they face eases the family to take an action to overcome the psychological effects of transracial adoption. For the next researcher, I suggest to analyze loss cultural identity issue in transracial adoption.

The data then written in descriptive and in order to answer the research questions, I also employ psychological approach. It is done to analyze how the modern society as represented in its intrinsic elements and how the modern society reflects signs of zoon politicon syndrome. The results indicate that the modern society is represented by three major groups. They are functional (ascription and acquisistion), aggregate, and category groups. The functional ascription covers the family group and the acquisition is represented by Terrencewho joined Derrick-T’s gangbang. Then the aggregate is portayed by the audience of the spelling bee. The last is the category which is represented by the  Hispanic, African-American.There are many kinds of groups in society and each group has its own rules and norms. Zoon politicon syndrome happens when the group can push the members to keep align the members with its rules and norms. The signs of zoon politicon syndrome is represented by Akeelah,Terrence, and Mr. Welch. Akeelah who tried not to look smart and Terrence who aped Derrick-T’s clothes and mannerism in order not to be bullied and accepted in the society. The other sign is when Mr. Welch forced Akeelah to join competition with his power as a headmaster.

Abstract

In this globalization era, there are so many changes toward fields of human life. Society is very swift in its instincts and if you do not belong to it, it will resist and sneer at you or quietly drop you. It means that if an individual cannot conform to his surrounding or group, he has to be ready to receive mockery, underestimation, or even rejection. It is the reason why people will conform to the system no matter what and without any appropriate assessment to the system so that they can be accepted in the group. They do not care and do not realize with the impacts that the system may give to their personal lives. Using the media, the capitalists also unconsciously start to create a tyranny where they want to control people around them so that they have power and they will do anything to make their power stable including ignoring the norms and justifying the wrong. People then come to a deeper tyranny system without realizing it unless they empty their mind and reconsider what they have been doing. At this point, society needs someone whom they think “unusual” or “different” to give them a different point of view of their life. Someone who is called nonconformist to make they see something in a different way of thinking and someone who bravely states his view regarding his self-determination. This study is aimed to find how the nonconformist shares his idea to criticize the tyranny system in the world so that his idea is suddenly accepted by the society. The results of this study are as the following: (1) By the comparison among four characters in the same pressure, Andrea preferred to nonconformity although she knew she might lose her dream. On the other hand, Miranda, Emily, and Nigel still stood on the side of conformity because of the idiosyncrasy credits and the goal that they still wanted to reach; power, fame, and material thing. (2) By the analysis of the four characters, Miranda is as the representation of a tyrant who controls, threats, and does something harmful to her leader and her partners to maintain his position. Nigel, Emily, and other workers are as the representation of tyrant’s supporters. Andrea is as the nonconformist to criticize the tyrannical system. The nonconformity behavior in the movie tries to tell the viewers that there is no point if we become tyrant or have a will to get power, fame, or material thing while in fact we do not need them, we just want them. Therefore, this study is expected to make the readers more aware of tyrannical system around us whether it is done clearly or hidden so it will not become worst finally.

Abstract

The purposes of this article are to analyze some concepts of naturalism which are used to describe the portrayal of Buck (dog) in Jack London’s novel The Call of the Wild and to understand how London uses the attribution of human qualities in humanizing the animal protagonist Buck. The method of this study is descriptive qualitative with naturalistic approach. The data are in the form of words, phrases, sentences, and paragraphs. As the results, there are two important findings. First, some naturalism concepts such as the concept of survival of the fittest, determinism, and violence are shown in details. The forces of heredity and environment toward Buck’s life journey are clearly discussed well. Second, the dog-protagonist, Buck, is attributed with characteristics such as love, ambition, and revenge, traits that usually describe humans. London as the author makes a strong case that the ingredients of human morality such as sympathy, love sharing, rules, and hatred are very much evident in other animal. It is emphasized again and again, The Call of the Wild exposes the essence of human’s life. From depiction of Buck, London has successfully placed the readers in the animal’s point of view. For conclusion, whether human morality could never have developed without foundation of fellow feeling that every species shares with other animals, and consider it as a reflection of the way of human thinking toward natural environment and the existence of other creatures.

The data were collected by doing reading, identifying, classifying, selecting, analyzing, and reporting them. The data were analyzed using  structuralism  theory.  Theory of structuralism was used for analyzing the character of Sarah Watson as the main role. From the data analysis, I may conclude that 1) Daddy novel reflected the life of women in around 1960s to 1980s. It is the time when women get the opportunity in getting higher education after World War II and women movements. And as being educated, women could get a job and be equal with men. 2) Daddy novel is a simple reflection of the influence of women movement. By the characters, Steel describes the women issue in that time clearly.

Those issues are the main things which women movement strugle for and it also led the changing of women role in society in that time.

Based on the theories provided, the data were analyzed one by one to know the types of metaphor used and the meaning of them. Metaphorical expressions found mostly in the songs lyrics are structural metaphor and ontological metaphor.

Through songs lyrics as the object of my analysis, it could be concluded that those songs lyrics generally contained metaphorical expressions.
