Abstract

This article discusses two political systems in The Hunger Games trilogy written by Suzanne Collins. The trilogy consists of The Hunger Games (2008), Catching Fire (2009), and Mockingjay (2010). The works reflect at least two political systems which are totalitarianism and democracy, and the confrontation between Capitol that applies totalitarianism and the rebels who put hopes on democracy. After the rebels win the war against the totalitarian Capitol, they and all citizens soon expect democracy would bring better lives. In analysing whether democracy fails for them or not, the writer uses Foucauldian discourse and power relations which argue that discourses have strong relationship with power. People tend to believe democracy to be the most humane political arrangement, while totalitarianism is all about total control. Democracy especially refers to freedom. This concept of freedom has now changed both in matter of meaning and practice. Comparing the discourses on totalitarianism and democracy in the books, one can see democracy has become a troublesome system similar to totalitarianism. However, using Foucauldian discourse and power relations has brought the writer to the conclusion that democracy in this trilogy is totalitarianism in disguise.Keywords: political system, totalitarianism, democracy, freedom, total control, discourse, disguise.

Abstract

This study aims to find out the noun phrases which are missing from sentences by comparing the deep structure and surface structure in the English proverbs of John Ray’s book A Complete Collection of English Proverbs. In this research, the theory of Transformational Generative Grammar (TGG) proposed by Huddleston (1975) is applied.The data were collected with the observational method and note taking technique. In analyzing the data, the writer uses Phrase Structure Rules in revealing the constituents of the proverbs. Then, the Tree Diagram is applied in appearing the deep structure of the proverbs. After that, the writer uses Transformational Rules to observe the transformation of the deep structure into the surface structure. Furthermore, the data are presented by formal and informal ways (Sudaryanto, 1993).The writer finds two forms of noun phrase: partial and total noun phrases. The partial NPs often occur in the NP which are modified by adjectives. Meanwhile, total NPs are often occurred in the pronoun ‘you’. The selection of the NPs are based on several things, they are: because the sentence is an imperative sentence which requires the pronoun ‘you’ as the missing words, because the appearance of the pronoun in the proverbs that needs the missing words must be connected with the pronoun, and because of the verb in the proverbs which compels the missing words connected with the verb.Key words: transformational generative grammar, ellipsis, noun phrases

Abstract

George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four and Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451 are masterpieces of both well-known authors. Both novels highlight government’s control and propaganda upon society as they reveal different ways of control and propaganda in the stories. This research aims to find the intertextual relation that exist in both novels. In conducting this research, the writer uses the theory of intertextuality by Julia Kristeva, combined with the Ideology and Ideological State Apparatus theory by Louis Althusser. The research proves that there are so many similarities between both novels in the terms of the government control purposes such as making people become passive, making people believe what government wants them to believe, and eliminating people’ chance to rebel. This research also proves that there are similarities in the main characters’ development in both novels. Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury is evidently influenced by Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell.
