Abstract

This article aims to examine the interpersonal meaning of hotel web pages using the Appraisal framework in the view of assessing the frequent occurrence of the appraisal subsystem in the text. The employment of attitudinal, graduation and engagement of text construe the alignment. They explain how the hotel introductory text construction does align the reader. Martin & White (2005) argued that appreciation reaction framework determines interpersonal significancies. The emotive prosody of this appreciation reaction is “it grabs me”, decorative, and then “I want it” (Martin & White, 57:2005). The dominant result of appreciation resources of reaction is shown in this research than other appreciation resources. We can replace the word “it” with the prosody of appreciation. As a result, the appreciation reaction of quality appears dominantly (44%). It means that the hotel talked much about the things: facilities and services. Finally, the interpersonal meaning of the hotel Webpages is ‘I am the most / I am the best’. It implies that the hotel is the best in quality and services in order to attract the reader. It proves that the web pages authentically in constructing the text in order to persuade the potential customer to purchase the hotel product.

Abstract

This paper aims to provide a heroism mythological reflection on the journey of researchers. This study uses the qualitative case study to obtain the comprehension of researchers' metaphor journeys through Monomyth on their research experiences. The documentary analysis is used in this qualitative study with the reflexive narrative because the reflection on experience can help the reader to gain insight into the researcher and their approach during the journey. 15 researchers' literacy narratives chosen in this study which consists of 8 published literacy narratives and 7 literacy narratives task from participants. Research itself often considered as a journey that extends the existing knowledge and also develops new knowledge of the researcher while wandering in the wilderness of knowledge. Along the way, the researchers with their literacy narratives in this study unconsciously have a similar mythical pattern story as like as the mythical heroes which Campbell (1949) term it as Monomyth pattern. The result presented in this paper may facilitate the literate improvements in which to motivate, to help the novice researcher to understand their own hero's journey and to educate them about the stages that they will experience such as their new transition of conducting their new research.

Abstract

While Krakauer's Into The Wild depicts McCandless' flee from society to live in the wild, many reviews argue that McCandless was not really a kind of person who finds freedom in nature. The present study will investigate further the surface characterizations of McCandless as freedom chaser with the plot development to fill the gap between McCandless' characterizations and the myth of freedom that he chases. By applying Barthes’ mythology, the study reveals that McCandless was described as an adventurer, immaterialist, and loner. However, the plot development reveals that as a person who sought an adventure in nature, McCandless would deal with water, but knowing that he had fear of water, it is contradictive with his characterization as an adventurer. As a person who rejected capitalism and materialist society, he was found working at McDonald's for having money in which both McDonalds and money are symbols of capitalism and materialistic society. As a person who spent his time mostly alone and intended to be alone in Alaska, he was a lonely person after all. Thus these contradictions demystify the myth of freedom that McCandless chases.
