Abstract

Readers frequently use the term "happy ending" to describe the pleasant resolution that the main characters achieve.  In the romance genre itself, happy endings are frequently linked to stories in which the protagonist finds happiness through marriage to their loving partner. Readers of romance stories frequently expect a happy ending due to the expanding concept of happy endings and their frequent usage in romance genre works. Thus, the aim of this research is to examine how readers perceive happy endings, particularly in Jang Jin's manhwa Devil Number 4. This study used a qualitative method, combining the reader response approach and Stuart Hall's concept of Encode/Decode to analyze the research. It was discovered that the author of this work emphasized that the best ending for the side characters is self-acceptance, and that happiness necessitates significant sacrifice for both the main characters and the side couple. Moreover, eight out of ten participants in this study fall into the dominant-hegemonic reader category, one into the negotiated reader category, as well as one into the oppositional reader category.  Based on this research, it can be said that the majority of Devil Number 4 readers are able to comprehend Jang Jin's message of a happy ending which is a sacrifice in order to achieve happiness.

Abstract

This study aims to explore how digital escape through K-pop serves as a coping mechanism for young adult women facing stress and personal challenges. Using content analysis and in-depth interviews with five female participants aged 20 to 25, this study focuses on individual experiences in accessing K-pop content, interacting in online communities, and developing hobbies related to K-pop, such as fan art and fan fiction. This research employs Abraham Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory as its theoretical framework, with an emphasis on the levels of love and belonging and self-esteem. The findings reveal that engagement in the K-pop world provides a safe and supportive space for participants to express themselves, build their identities, and receive emotional support online. This study highlights how popular culture and the digital context can function as significant coping mechanisms in the daily lives of young adult women. This study contributes to contemporary cultural studies and psychology by demonstrating that the K-pop world can serve as an alternative space for fulfilling the emotional and psychological needs of young adult women.

Abstract

This research examines instances of corporate rivalry depicted in the film Ford v Ferrari (2019) and analyzes its impact on the competing automotive companies and the film's main protagonists. The study employs a qualitative interpretive film analysis design, utilizing M.H. Abrams' expressive literary criticism theory to examine the film's authored choices in relation to historical context, while Porter's Five Forces framework serves as the analytical lens for identifying and evaluating competitive dynamics. Primary data consist of timestamped scenes, dialogue excerpts, and screenshots from the film, collected through systematic observation and supplemented by historical documentation. The analysis reveals how corporate rivalry progresses throughout the film, primarily from Ford Motor Company's perspective, through identified competitive forces including threat of new entrants, threat of substitute products, and bargaining power of suppliers and buyers. Findings demonstrate that the rivalry not only shaped the future trajectories, historical legacies, and competitive positions of both companies but also profoundly impacted the personal and professional lives of protagonists Ken Miles and Carroll Shelby during and after the depicted events. The study contributes to the intersection of literary criticism and strategic management by demonstrating how cinematic narratives can serve as pedagogical sites for understanding corporate competitive action sequences.

Abstract

This study examines Emily Dickinson’s poem The Soul Selects Her Society through a Freudian psychoanalytic lens, with particular focus on the portrayal of identity. Using Sigmund Freud’s structural model of the psyche, the id, ego, and superego, this research investigates how the soul’s selective withdrawal functions as a defense mechanism for preserving selfhood. The analysis interprets the poem not as a mere act of social retreat but as a conscious assertion of individuality, in which the ego regulates instinctual desires and resists external pressures. Findings reveal that the soul’s rejection of societal appeals reflects the ego’s effort to maintain psychological boundaries, safeguard authenticity, and establish identity. Connections to Dickinson’s reclusive lifestyle and poetic style further demonstrate how her personal life resonates with this act of inward loyalty. Ultimately, the poem emerges as a literary articulation of the psyche’s negotiation of selfhood, showing identity as an active construction achieved through autonomy, resistance, and self-protection.

Abstract

This study explores the altruistic qualities of Posey, the main character in Mitch Albom’s novel For One More Day, focusing on her voluntary and intentional behaviors as expressions of altruism. Altruism is defined as selfless concern for the welfare of others, often manifested without expectation of reward. Using qualitative methods and character analysis, this study examines Posey’s acts of sacrifice, emotional support, and moral guidance, specifically in her relationship with her son, Charley Benetto. Her behaviors—from defending her son against unfair judgment to creating lasting emotional bonds—are voluntary and intentional, reflecting a deep commitment to the welfare of others. In conclusion, this study confirms that altruism in the literature can be explained by consistent and intentional actions that prioritize the needs of others over personal gain.

Abstract

The primary objective of this study is to examine phonological processes and adaptations across various languages, focusing on their influence on language acquisition, literacy development, and second language learning. The research spans from 2019 to 2024, covering recent studies in the field. Databases such as Google Scholar and Crossref were used for the initial search, utilizing tools like Zotero and Publish or Perish. Keywords such as "phonological processes," "language adaptation," "phonological awareness," and "cross-linguistic studies" were employed." A comprehensive search across major databases, including Crossref and Google Scholar, yielded an initial 1,200 articles. Rigorous inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied, including the removal of duplicates and non-English articles, resulting in 22 articles selected for in-depth analysis. The research synthesizes findings from multiple studies to provide a comprehensive understanding of the topic. Key findings highlight that phonological awareness instruction positively impacts engagement and outcomes in language learning, especially for young learners and those learning a second language. Systematic and explicit instruction in phonological awareness has been shown to significantly improve vocabulary acquisition and speaking skills. Future research should continue exploring the most effective methods for teaching phonological awareness in diverse linguistic contexts, ensuring that all learners have the opportunity to develop strong language skills. By addressing these areas, future studies can contribute to refining educational strategies, making phonological awareness instruction more adaptable and impactful across different learning environments.

Abstract

This study uses a qualitative analysis of magical realism in the anime “The Tunnel to Summer, the Exit of Goodbyes” (2022), with the main goal of identifying the elements of magical realism as depicted in the anime and exploring how these elements shape the overall narrative structure. Using a descriptive qualitative method, this study uses Wendy B. Faris’ theory of the five characteristics of Magical Realism to analyze key scenes and dialogues. The analysis confirms the presence of all five characteristics, identifying the Urashima Tunnel as the main “irreducible element,” a magical event set in the “phenomenal world” of Kouzaki City, Japan. “Unsettling doubt” is formed through the absence of any logical or historical explanation for the tunnel’s existence, while “the merging of nature” is demonstrated when the protagonist, Tono, brings his dead parakeet back to the real world alive and physically enters scenes from his past. Finally, the anime features “disruptions of time, space, and identity” through measurable time shifts, the tunnel’s ability to manifest psychological memories as physical space, and Tono’s past and present selves coexisting. The study concludes that these elements fundamentally disrupt the anime’s narrative structure. The narrative does not employ traditional conflict, instead focusing on the characters’ hesitations in using the tunnel.

Abstract

This study analyzes Red Dead Redemption 2 as a modern literary work by examining archetypes and symbolic themes in one of its most emotionally impactful scenes, commonly referred to by players as the "I'm Afraid" moment. Using Carl Jung's theories of archetypes and the process of individuation, the study examines two different versions of this crucial scenario: one with Sister Calderon and the other with Reverend Swanson, both of which demonstrate the main character's moral awakening. This paper uses data from a survey the researcher conducted previously to identify how players experienced the scene and what symbolic elements made it powerful. The study then explores how Red Dead Redemption 2, through its integration of narrative choice, moral consequence, and symbolic storytelling, expands the boundaries of modern literature. Unlike traditional forms, the game enables players to participate directly in the protagonist's emotional and philosophical development, demonstrating how interactivity can heighten literary engagement. By combining narrative depth with player agency, Red Dead Redemption 2 is positioned not merely as a game, but as a compelling example of contemporary literary experience that invites active moral and psychological participation.

Abstract

How to Make Millions Before Grandma Dies (2024) is a Thai film that depicts a young man's journey toward self-actualization amid complex family conflicts. This study analyzes how M's self-actualization shows and the influence of other family members in this process. Applying Abraham Maslow's concept of self-actualization, adapted by Kaufman into the Characteristic of Self-Actualization Scale (CSAS), this study explores M's characteristic development through content analysis, utilizing dialogue and visual elements to reveal the family's influence on M's growth. Findings highlight the vital role of each character as a catalyst and barrier of family Influence factors (including financial and informational support, expectations, and values or beliefs) in triggering M's characteristics, such as acceptance, authenticity, purpose, humanitarianism, and efficient perception of reality. This study concludes that family influence significantly impacts an individual's self-actualization and emotional maturity journey.

Abstract

This research examines the representation of psychological trauma in the main character of the animated series Blue Eye Samurai (2023), with particular focus on the concepts of belatedness of trauma and numbing process as theorized by Cathy Caruth. The study analyzes how trauma is experienced by Mizu and its effects on her behavior and life over time. Using close viewing methods for in-depth textual and visual analysis of each episode, this study identifies how visual and narrative structures convey unresolved trauma and its long-term behavioral impact. The analysis employs the TEEL technique, a systematic approach consisting of four parts: Topic (the main statement), Evidence (scenes or dialogue from the series), Explanation (detailed connection to trauma theory), and Link (connection to Caruth's theory). The findings reveal that Mizu's trauma is fragmented and resurfaces through flashbacks and nightmares, manifesting changes in her behavior and emotional capacity. Mizu experiences emotional numbness that impairs her ability to feel, express, or accept emotions. The study demonstrates how Mizu's unresolved childhood trauma, compounded by adult experiences of betrayal and violence, leads to pervasive emotional detachment that shapes her identity and choices. This research highlights Blue Eye Samurai as a significant case of how contemporary animation engages with trauma, identity, and resilience, offering new dimensions to literary and trauma studies.
