Abstract

This qualitative research investigates the complex factors contributing to reading difficulties among high school students in a rural area of Mindanao, Philippines. In-depth interviews with students, teachers, and community members provided qualitative insights into the lived experiences and perspectives surrounding reading difficulties. The research identified a multifaceted web of challenges: socioeconomic, environmental, instructional, linguistic, technological,  health and wellness, school-related, and community factors. The findings highlight the critical need for comprehensive interventions addressing these interconnected challenges. Recommendations include community engagement programs, violence prevention initiatives, professional development for teachers, curriculum enhancement, technology integration, wellness programs, increased school funding, and resource allocation. By addressing these multifaceted issues, educators, policymakers, and community stakeholders can work collaboratively to create a supportive and enriching educational environment for students in rural areas, ultimately enhancing their reading abilities and academic success.

Abstract

This research aims to identify and assess the translation strategies and ideologies used by translators in the subtitles of the film Tangled Ever After. A descriptive qualitative approach focuses on analysing words, phrases, clauses, and sentences that feature translation techniques within the movie’s subtitles. Data collection involves reviewing documents and archives, watching the film, and examining the subtitles in both the source and target languages, followed by transcription. The analysis includes watching the film, reading the subtitles, evaluating the employed translation techniques and ideologies, and drawing conclusions. The findings indicate that 10 distinct translation techniques were used across 24 instances in the subtitles. The techniques employed were: literal translation (5 instances), compensation (4), modulation (3), transposition (3), borrowing (2), amplification (2), description (2), discursive creation (1), generalization (1), and reduction (1). The analysis reveals that the most frequently used technique was literal translation, representing 20.83% of the instances, followed by compensation (16.6%) and modulation and transposition (12.5% each). Techniques such as borrowing, amplification, and description appeared less frequently, while discursive creation, generalization, and reduction were the least utilized, each making up 4.16% of the total.

Abstract

This study presents a focused character analysis of Heaven Official’s Blessing (book 1) by MXTX, a novel set in a fantastical world inspired by Chinese mythology. The narrative centers around Xie Lian, a former crown prince who ascends to become a martial god. The analysis aims to deepen understanding of the character types within the novel as it has only few prior academic studies conducted. By categorizing and examining these character types, the study reveals how each character functions within the story, enriching readers' comprehension of their roles. Character types are divided into two categories: major characters and minor characters. Major characters include the protagonist (Xie Lian), antagonist (Xuan Ji and Kemo), and tritagonist (Fu Yao and Nan Feng). Minor characters include foil (Pei Xiu), static (Ling Wen), dynamic (Pei Ming, Feng Xin, Mu Qing), flat (Tian Sheng, Xiao-Pengtou, Xiao-Ying), round (A-Zhao, Banyue), and stock (Wind Master, Jun Wu). This study has limitations as it focuses solely on character types in Book 1, though the novel spans eight books, leaving many characters and literary elements unexplored. Future studies should fill these gaps with comparative analyses, exploring cultural influences, applying diverse literary theories, and using multidisciplinary approaches.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the representation of violence in romantic relationships shown in the film *It Ends With Us* through the perspective of contemporary feminism. The focus of this study is how forms of violence, both physical and emotional, are represented and how the film reflects or challenges patriarchal values that are still dominant in interpersonal relationships. The research method used is textual analysis with a qualitative approach, referring to contemporary feminism theories that highlight issues of power, gender, and women's agency. The results show that the movie depicts relationship violence as a complex experience that is often wrapped up in the dynamics of love and forgiveness. Furthermore, the film features the main female character's struggle to redefine her position as an empowered individual in the midst of an oppressive situation. The findings make an important contribution to the discourse on critical awareness of gender-based violence in popular media and its relevance to contemporary feminist struggles.

Abstract

This study presents a comparative structural analysis of two renowned poems, “She Walks in Beauty" by G.G. Byron and "The More Loving One" by W.H. Auden, which are widely regarded as some of their finest works. The objective is to identify the similarities and differences between these poems, which originate from distinct poetic eras: Byron’s work represents the Romantic era of the late 18th century, while Auden’s belongs to the Modern era of the early 20th century. To facilitate the comparison, the analysis focuses on three key structural elements of poetry: theme, figures of speech, and imagery. The findings reveal both similarities and differences between the two poems. Shared elements include a focus on love as the central theme, the use of metaphor, personification, and hyperbole in figures of speech, and the incorporation of visual and organic imagery. However, the differences lie in how the theme of love is portrayed. Byron’s poem celebrates the beauty of a woman, while Auden’s reflects the fear of losing a loved one. Additional differences are evident in figures of speech and imagery; Byron employs simile and kinesthetic imagery, which are absent in Auden’s poem. This comparative analysis underscores the influence of distinct poetic eras on these two iconic works’ structural and thematic elements.

Abstract

This paper explores the cultural representation in Turning Red, focusing on the use of symbolism and stereotypes. Through an analysis of key motifs and visual elements in the film examines how the narrative reflects and challenges cultural identities, particularly those within the Asian diaspora. The study applies a qualitative content analysis methodology, identifying and interpreting symbols related to culture, tradition, and family dynamics. Key results reveal that the film uses the metaphor of transformation to represent the protagonist’s struggle with generational expectations while also highlighting stereotypes associated with Asian heritage. The analysis also shows how these symbols are both subverted and reinforced throughout the film, creating a complex portrayal of cultural identity. In conclusion, Turning Red presents a nuanced perspective on cultural representation, using symbolism and stereotypes to challenge and affirm cultural narratives, ultimately offering a deeper understanding of generational conflict and cultural belonging.
