Abstract

This study examines how Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's Purple Hibiscus interrogates the oppressions of women in the Nigerian patriarchal society and how women empower each other lead them to women empowerment. The study shows how the oppressions of women is represented through female characters which perpetually put women in disadvantaged positions as portrayed in Purple Hibiscus. One of the most despicable oppression among the so well-known cultural practices in Nigeria is the patriarchal oppression. However, as the events unfold, efforts will be made in order to reveal of how African women are rated based on the good and real women as represented by Beatrice and Ifeoma. I argue that Adichie's approach to subvert patriarchal oppression describes that despite the struggle and pain, women assert themselves in the world of patriarchy through education and sisterhood. Adichie’s novel suggests women empowerment through social transformation confronted by women. The title of the novel, "Purple Hibiscus" may refer to a particular type of flower, but it also emphasizes the triumph of the innovative suggesting that the unusual is not necessarily bad as it looks which aims to women empowerment.

Abstract

This research analyzes the form of the speech act of advice acquired by senior students at English Department of Andalas University in 2019. The identified structures of advice were then described about politeness strategy being used and the social factors (Power, Social Distance, and Rate of Imposition) that underlie the selection of the form and strategies. Data were gathered using online DCT that made use of Google Form platform. As many as 32 senior students of the department in 2019 participated in this research and filled in their responses completely to the 12 situations presented in the online DCT. The situations were designed as similar as possible to Indonesian students' daily life situations in West Sumatera and written in Indonesian. However, the responses were required in English. The results of the analyses revealed that most participants tended to use hedging type of advice (57%) with a positive politeness strategy (76%). In addition, social variables such as social distance appeared to play a significant role in the participants' selection of the politeness form and strategy. When the social distance was close between an advisor and an advisee, the advisor tended to switch to the direct mode form and direct politeness strategy. However, when an advisor assumed a far social distance against the listener, s/he tended to advise the listener in a more indirect form and strategy regardless of the listener's power status.

Abstract

Reading is the process of knowing, understanding, and getting information about the contents of the text. Teaching Reading is the process of teaching students to understand and comprehend texts. There are some problems in teaching reading. Therefore, the teacher needs to implement several strategies. One strategy is the Jumble Summary strategy. This is a strategy used by the teacher to present key words and phrases that are randomly ordered from the lesson or topic to students. Students place terms and phrases in paragraphs or logical sequences to show understanding. This research is an experiment. The population of this research is the eighth-grade students of SMPN 2 Suliki District. There are 6 classes in the school. A cluster sampling technique is used to determine the sample. Experimental classes are taught with the Jumble Summary Strategy, and the control class is taught by the strategies currently used by the teacher. This research tool is a multiple-choice reading test. This test is validated because the material is taught to students before taking the test. To check the reliability of the test, researchers used a half-separate test formula. After that, the data were analyzed using the t-test formula suggested by Gay, Mills, and Airasian [1]. From the data analysis, the t-count is 3.214, while the t-table is 2.021, which means that the t-count is greater than the t-table. In other words, the research hypothesis is accepted. So it can be concluded teaching reading by using the Jumble Summary Strategy has had a significant influence on learning to read. Therefore, it is recommended that English teachers apply the Jumble Summary Strategy in reading learning.

Abstract

Nature and Literature have a related meaning relationship. Ecological aspects paradigmatically can have a role in telling the story of literary works. This study aims to determine the narrative functions of ecology in the novel Aroma Karsa. The method of this study is a narrative analysis with a literary ecology approach in the ontological, epistemological and axiological scope focusing on the characters’ narrative functions. The data are obtained through the documentation process, which is in-depth reading; with the aim of identifying, classifying and categorizing the story based on the concept of the narrative function by Vladimir Propp. The results of the study identify four characters who ontologically have a strong relation to the ecological aspects of the story, namely; Sangyang Batari Karsa/Puspa Karsa, Jati Wesi/Randu, Tanaya Suma/Malini, and Raras Prayugung. Epistemologically, it is known that Aroma Karsa (1) builds perception of the cultural environment and ideal environmental criteria, and (2) enriches the ecological knowledge of the readers. Axiologically, Aroma Karsa mutually reveals the symbolic relationship of nature with the readers’ cultural receptions related to myths, medications, fragrances, gender and cleanliness. There are 5 spheres of action (villain, hero, helper, false hero, princess) out of 7 with 24 supporting functions on 4 identified characters. The mechanism of narrative function uses special personage in the form of character condensation to convey the premise of the story. The mechanism of the narrative function is centered on Puspa Karsa who becomes the symbol of ecocentric narrative in the novel Aroma Karsa.

Abstract

This thesis entitled ‘Being Muslim Immigrants in America: Preservation, Resistance, and Negotiation of Identity in Ayad Akhtar’s ‘American Dervish’ aims to analyze the depiction of Muslim immigrants identity in the context of diaspora. Through the lenses of Hall’s theory of identity and Clifford’s  diaspora, the analysis centered on how the Muslim immigrant characters in the novel interacted with other individuals with diverse backgrounds of race, gender, and religion. This contributed towards the construction of identity through the preservation and resistance of homeland culture, dominant culture or host land culture and the negotiation between Muslim immigrants and their state and American society. Therefore, the Muslim immigrant characters in the novel hold a non-essential and fluid identity as portrayed from the perpetual construction of identity.
