I used Jhumpa Lahiri’s novel The Namesake as the object of this study. This study is a descriptive qualitative study with psychology of literature as the approach. It was because the data of the study are in the form of words, phrases, sentences, narrations, and dialogues. The data were gained by reading the novel thoroughly, identifying, inventroying, and clasifying; then the analysis was done by selecting and explaining. There were several findings as the investigation result. First, the identity crisis on the main character happened after he made his interaction with society that had a different culture to his own culture. This was because the different comprehensions about identities between him, his family culture, India, and the dominant culture environment, America. Finally, he changed his given name to another name that showed his changed self-identity at a whole. This changing name represented a change of culture that he chose. Second, after various conflicts regarding names and cultural identity that he chose, he knew that changing his identity because of the different societies’ influences did not solve his problem. He realized that move dynamically would help him to live easier in two different cultures.

Abstract

This final project discusses the syntactic analysis of Mark Twain’s About Barbers on Leech’s Method which focusses on its sentence structure and sentence construction. The problems in this study are: how every sentence of Mark Twain’s About Barbers is analyzed syntactically, what the types of sentence structures are used in About Barbers story, what the most dominant type of sentence structures is used in About Barbers story. The objectives of the study are to have a closer look to the elements of syntactical units, to construct of the sentences of About Barbers story, to show and to explain types of the sentence structures used in About Barbers story, to reckon the frequency of types of sentence structures found in About Barbers story and their degree in percent. The sources of the data in this study are the script of the short story. The data taken from the script are in the forms of phrases, sentences, and dialogues. In collecting the data, I used some steps like reading, identifying, inventorying, classifying, and reporting. In analyzing the data, I identified every sentence by parsing analysis with labelling and then counted the percentage of every sentence to get information the most dominant of sentence structure types used in the story. The result shows that compound sentence structure dominates the short story with the amount of frequency 24 in number. Then, compound-complex sentence structure follows it with 16 sentences. The percentage of simple sentence structure is 15%. Complex sentence structure are 18%. Compound-complex sentence is 27% and the last compound sentence structure is 40%. With regards to the previous results, it can be concluded that this text is dominated by compound sentences. Compound sentence contains more than one meaning to be interpreted, so it is a little bit complicated to catch the meaning for English young learners. The result of this study will help students in understanding the compositions of sentences and how the sentence constructed. Besides, it can help English teachers to consider if this work is understandable or suitable for the students.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze woman’s figure representation which was portrayed in Henrik Ibsen’s play A Doll’s House during the Victorian era. The method used is descriptive qualitative. It focused on the words, phrases, sentences, monologues, and dialogues as the data to analyze. The data were also analyzed by using sociological criticism on feminist critique. By using this criticism, the work is analyzed, especially in how Henrik Ibsen depicted woman’s figure in his play. The analysis results in two findings. Woman’s figure representation in this play is portrayed by Nora’s character and by the symbol of “doll.” Woman’s figure represented by Nora’s character was complex that she prances about in the first act, behaves desperately in the second, and gains a stark sense of reality during the final of Henrik Ibsen's A Doll's House. In the first, act she represents childlike qualities such as childish, deceptive, obedience, conceited, inconsistent, unadorned, insisted, and dependence. In the second act, she represents a desperate woman by being manipulative, insecure, and seducer. In the final act, she represents mature qualities such as becomes calmer, bolder, and more independent. Woman’s figure represented by the use of “doll” as a symbol of woman in this play is that both Nora and the doll are demanding treatment, demanding leadership, and having physical beauty that can give amusement.

Abstract

The god’s mortality is an interesting topic to be discussed since people believe that god exists and appears like human. Besides, mortality is related human and very near to human’s life. There have been many events where the gods’ part of body is claimed to appear. Accordingly, this study aims to describe the gods’ mortality shown in The Pelasgian Creation Myth and explain the gods’ mortality portraits as cultural representation. The method of this study is a qualitative analysis by Barthes’ semiotics approach (1983; 1991). The data are collected from the myth text by reading, identifying, and inventorying based on Barthes’ semiotics. Then, the method of data analysis is based on literal meaning in the primary modeling system and the cultural meaning in the secondary modeling system. Ultimately, the final finding is done by contextualizing signifieds as cultural representation. This study finds: first, the gods’ mortality is described literally in the way they do, need, appear, and behave. Second, the gods’ mortality is the cultural representation of ancient Greek society and their surroundings. It is the connection between the humanism and the imagination manifestation of ancient Greek people. Both of them altogether create the gods’ mortality in the ancient time.

Abstract

Hegemony is defined as a condition under which a group establishes its supremacy not only by physical force but also through a consensual submission of the people who are dominated. This study aims to describe how “Sameness” is represented as a form of hegemony to create utopian society in The Giver and to describe the kinds of hegemony found in the novel. The methodology used in this study was descriptive-qualitative. By using sociological approach, this study analyzed the novel from the point of view of hegemony, a theory developed by Antonio Gramsci. There were two objects of the study, namely material object which was The Giver novel and formal object taken from the analysis of the novel using theory of hegemony. The results of this study show that system of “Sameness” is represented as a form of hegemony to create utopian society, seen from the episode of climate control which is created to avoid unpredictable weather, episode of family unit to control the populations of the community by regulating some procedures and rituals, episode of assignments by observing each of the citizens’ interest through volunteer hours and recreation time, episode of precision of language and attitude to keep good communication and behavior; episode of no individual choices, episode of artificial sense which limit the vision, audio, and feeling after the removal of memory, and episode of punishments for rule breakers. There are three kinds of hegemony found in the novel based on the level of domination and resistance, namely Integral hegemony which is seen from the full obedience of the citizens towards the authority of the Committee of Elders, Decadent hegemony which is depicted by the citizens’ disrespect and boredom towards the rules, and Minimal hegemony which happens due to the the resistance from the Receiver of Memory against the Committee of Elders despite the transformismo. Keywords: Sameness, Hegemony, Utopian society
