Abstract

Literature is a product of thoughts, ideas, concepts, and also imagination which are the reflection of the life around the author. Poetry as one type of literary work is arguably unique and different compared to other types of literary works. This is because of the figurative language that surrounds a poem that creates the meaning implied in the literal meaning. This research is intended to find out what kind of figurative language is used in Robert Frost's selected poems based on Perrine’s theory, so that we can find out the implicit meaning of the two poems. The whole process is carried out using the desk observation research method, where primary data and secondary data are collected to understand the entire research object. The results of the analysis process show that Robert Frost uses metaphor, symbol, personification, and simile in the poem “The Road Not Taken”. Whereas in the poem “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening”, Frost uses metaphor, symbol, personification, and hyperbole. From these results, the implied meaning of the two poems is revealed. Where “The Road Not Taken” describes Individualism and its influence on the “decision making” process, while “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening” illustrates the level of self-consistency. Both of these poems describe the culture of American society in general.

Abstract

Hikayat is a cultural product of the Malay peoples in the form of ancient prose. The use of language style and ancient words in a saga is one of the causes of the unpopularity of the saga at this time. At present saga is only intended as an art product and research material to examine the culture of a Malay nation. This research is intended to determine the impact of Hikayat Prang Sabil by Teungku Chik Pante Kulu during the times of the struggle of the Acehnese people against Dutch colonialism and also to find out how the role of the spirit of Hikayat Prang Sabil after the Aceh-Dutch war ended to the present. The results of this study prove that the Hikayat Prang Sabil played a major role in the struggle of the Acehnese people against Dutch colonialism, where Hikayat Prang Sabil became a moral force and also as a center of gravity that united all elements of Acehnese society to fight on one main goal, namely to fight against infidels for defend the religion and national pride. Hikayat Prang Sabil became a tool to spread the call of Jihad Fi Sabilillah, with the aim of recruiting and also raising funds to fight. However, the enthusiasm of the people after hearing Hikayat Prang Sabil was beyond expectation. Not only is it momentary, but the contents of Hikayat Prang Sabil also influenced the sociological behavior patterns of the Acehnese people at that time. so that the name Atjeh-Moord appears, namely the behavior in which the people of Aceh become infatuated with the idea of jihad that makes them kill every infidel they meet, even from non-military groups.
