Abstract

Hero's journey exists in every story. According to Vogler, every character could be a hero in their own journey. Thus, this study is to analyze the Hero's journey in The Karate Kid movie. Instead of using Campbell's, this study uses Vogler's stages to reveal the heroic representation of Dre -the main character from the movie. The study also employs a critical approach on Dre's cross-cultural experience by using Hofstede's cultural values dimension theory to identify the discrepancy between his native and Chinese (his new) culture. The result of this study contains twelve stages of Hero's Journey proposed by Vogler as well as Dre's challenge on his personal growth. Moreover, cultural values dimension took major part on supporting his journey to achieve his goals. Keywords: cross culture, hero's journey, The Karate Kid movie

Abstract

This study discusses the discrimination that occurs in the short story of the Gadis Berkulit Hitam. The discrimination is due to the oppression of white people against black people. The concept of black and white is an inverse which cannot be separated from one another. The inverse gives a binary opposition and can form a new meaning for a person. Black and white is part of the identity of post-colonialism. In the short story Gadis Berkulit Hitam, the main character is a country girl who goes to France to achieve her dream of coveted luxury and success. But it never came true because she was just a black girl. Through a deconstruction approach, the writer begins to try to come up with a new identity for the main character in the short story by taking advantage of the language gap. This uncertainty eventually led to the absence of the main character. Therefore, a person's identity can change and the process of change is called difference which means to distinguish and be different. The writer tries to apply this concept to bring up a new identity for black girls by deconstructing the pre-formed hierarchy. In conclusion, the black and white construction inherent in society is a rigid construction and cannot be justified anymore. The boundaries that become the identity and separate the binary opposition cannot be strictly maintained.

Abstract

In a novel, it is often found that there is a character which becomes a center of the attention. That character can be a good character or the bad one. In literature, this character is named The Hero. This study is used to reveal how the role of a hero in case of building a completed story is. The hero which will be analyzed here is the hero in She Came to Stay written by Simone de Beauvoir. To analyze the hero in that novel, two theories which are brought by Northrop Frye is used, Theory of Modes and Theory of Mythos. Both of those theories is really related to the creation of a story and the hero in it. By using Theory of Modes, it will be easy to understand the position of the hero which is created by the processes in the story such as becoming inferior and superior. Almost the same to last theory, Theory of Mythos also analyzes how the story creates the hero from another point or view. It sees the story in case of giving some conditions which will be experienced by the hero. Those conditions can create the hero. When Francoise becomes a hero, this study also sees that there will be some changes as some effects of becoming a hero. That becomes the focus also for this study. Keywords: hero, superiority, inferiority, innocent, experience
