Abstract

The purpose of this research is to determine whether or not seventh graders at SMPN 1 Sumbergempol can improve their descriptive writing skills by using online memes.  In this quantitative study, the researcher used a quasi-experimental strategy.  The results showed that the experimental group averaged 79.00 points whereas the control group averaged 70.81. In addition, the findings (Sig 2-tailed) demonstrated a 0.000 significant value. The significance level (0.000 < 0.05) is lower than the significant value (Sig 2-tailed). We may conclude that the Alternative Hypothesis (Ha) is correct and reject the Null Hypothesis (H0) based on the findings of the significance value (Sig 2-tailed). The results show that seventh graders at SMPN 1 Sumbergempol benefit significantly from using Internet memes to improve their descriptive writing skills.  It can be concluded that internet Memes enable the students getting the ideas and lead them to the objects being described. Through the application of this media, students can easily create descriptive text based on images.

Abstract

Kulut kaet, or mourning lament, is an important tradition in the Dawan ethnic community in South Central Timor District, East Nusa Tenggara (NTT), which carries deep religious significance. It is more than just an expression of grief over loss, but also a means of honoring the spirit of the deceased and maintaining the connection between the living world and the spiritual world. This article aims to explore the religious significance of the Kulut kaet emphasizing the spiritual dimension of the mourning ritual. Through a qualitative and ethnographic approach, this study analyses how Kulut kaet functions as a form of respect for the spirits of the deceased, as a way of maintaining relationships with ancestors, as well as a collective healing mechanism for the Dawan community. The results show that Kulut kaet is not only an expression of personal grief, but also a ritual that involves the community in the process of grieving together. This lament becomes important in strengthening social solidarity, preserving traditions, and carrying out religious obligations as a tribute to the spirits of the deceased.
