Abstract

Every human have problems in his/her life. Sometimes those are easy and difficult ones, then they feel confused to decide which one should they take because those are good for their future life. But willy-nilly, they have to choose one of them. The condition as experienced by Frost reflected in his poem entitled Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening, in which he experience difficult something in taking decision in other to make him into dilemma. Two problem formulations which were discussed in this final project are 1) What choices does Frost face as portrayed in Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening?, 2) How does Frost compromise with his dilemma as reflected in selected poem? In doing the analysis, the writer utilized structural and psychological approache. The type of this research are descriptive qualitative. So that it can support the analysis by making the description of the selected quotation, sentence, phrase, and narration that appropriate the statement problems. The results of the study are 1) Frost has two problems, namely, want to enjoy the beautiful scenery at the middle of the woods, and the duties and responsibility that he has to do in his life, 2)  After deep consideration about positive and negative effect in the future life. Finally, in compromising his dilemma he decides to give priority to do his duties and responsibilities and put aside his desire to keep enjoying the woods. The suggestion that could be submitted was every people certainly have ever experienced a dilemma in his/her life, and every decision that is taken has two sides in his/her life, they are positive and negative sides. So, you must think twice and consider it carefully before you are taking decision when you are facing by two options in your life.

This study uses gender role theory and social psychology approach to answer the question. I use qualitative descriptive method to gain the validity and prove the writer’s assumption. The data that found in the film are in form of sentences, phrases, dialogues, action, and mimic of the character shown in the scene. In gathering the data, I took four steps; namely, identifying, inventorying, classifying, and selecting data. First, I watched the movie and read the scripts of film. Second, I inventoried the data, classified the data, and selected the data to answer the problems. The last, the data selected are interpreted based on its function to the topic. From this study I conclude that man’s role degradation that described in American Beauty movie is about a man who faced the degradation of men’s role and men’s authority as a father and husband in the family. The causes are loss spirit of life, loss his confidence, changing gender roles, and economic changes. Beside that, the effects are not harmony relationship among the family and an affair in their marriage life.

Secondly, I listed the data that are related to the topic and then categorized them. The next step was interpreting the data according to the theory related to the topic to interpret and analyze the meaning. From the analysis, I found out that there are various characteristics of men’s view on women’s independence that reflected in the female life nowadays. In addition, we can also find the causes of this syndrome so that we are able to propose solutions of the syndrome itself.

The data were gained by reading closely the novel, then identifying data from the novel, inventorying the data, classifying the data, selecting the data, building up the main topic of the narration that in leadership, and reporting the data. The analysis of this study used new criticism approach in order to find,  identify and analyze the data from the novel.

From the data analysis I concluded that (1) the main characters had sense of leadership which was  built up by the environment (2) there are six points of leadership concept which is depicted in this novel; they are the characterization of a leader, ideal relationship between formal and informal leaders, focus on leadership, problem solving, delegation, and transformational leadership (3) there are some improvements for the people because of the application of leadership concept by the leaders in the novel. In general, this study is expected to be useful for the readers who would analyze a literary  work.

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.

It has the poet’s message and figures of speech which show escapism in the poems.
