Abstract

This research is an analysis of an animation movie by Walt Disney Animation Studios entitled Zootopia. The story of Zootopia, just like other animation movies which can be generalized as intended for children. It contains a positive message which can be seen from the tagline of this movie; “This is Zootopia. Anyone can be Anything”. However, this research tries ascertaining the opposite as it can be seen that the message of the movie is not entirely true. It is under descriptively qualitative method supported by the Theory of Deconstruction as a framework -- that a text can betray itself and this movie is no exception. In Zootopia, just like in human world, the animals are divided into species and kinds or types. This division can clearly lead to discrimination, stereotypes and prejudice. At the end, the notion that anyone can be anything is right to some extend but there are certainly limitations and boundaries that one cannot across to avoid instability in the life of the animals. Thus, the movie can be ‘read’ as having an entirely different message. This research shows that an animation movie can also be interpreted in many ways and may indeed reflect what happens in our reality.

Abstract

This study focuses on the use of narrative techniques, especially point of view, in a novel entitled The Slap written by an Australian author, Christos Tsiolkas. This novel begins with a barbeque party hosted by a couple in a suburban Melbourne. The party is attended by many of their friends, families and co-workers who come from many different ethnic backgrounds, mostly immigrants or immigrant descents in Australia. The story takes an interesting turn when a man slaps an unruly boy who is not his own. The boy’s parents become so furious and decide to report the incident to the police. The story then continues with the revelation on how the case goes. What is special about this novel is that the aftermath of the incident is written in multiple chapters, narrated by a different character for each chapter. Readers will be able to see what happen after the incident through the eyes of each character who not only talk about the incident but inform the readers also about their life and the people around them. This is very interesting considering all the characters come from different ethnics; Greek, Indian, Jew, and British Australian. Christos Tsiolkas claimed that he wanted to show the real Australia which is not often represented in other novels through this novel and he has chosen to use the 3rd person limited point of view as a means to deliver his message. At the end of the research it can be concluded that there is a shift in position between the white Australians and immigrants or immigrant descent nowadays in terms of superiority and inferiority. Keywords: narrative technique, point of view, multiculturalism, immigrant, white Australians.

Abstract

Adultery is a novel written by Paulo Coelho which focuses on the story of a woman named Linda, who seems to have everything in her life. However, her perfect life seems to bore her and drive her to the brink of depression. Linda then gets involved in an affair to end her boredom. At the end of the story, Linda realizes that boredom is something which will always be a part of human’s life, and mere adventures also distraction cannot abolish it. The only thing that one can do is to live their life the way it is with passion. This research analyzes the narrative techniques used in the novel based on Eastman’s theory of narrative techniques, which include point of view, time and tempo, style, and distance. This theory will measure the distance between the readers and the story/the protagonist as well as the ability of the author in delivering the message through the very techniques he has chosen. The novel has been discussed mostly in the light of the psychological condition of the protagonist or the portrayal of the female protagonist while this research focuses specifically on the narrative techniques used by Coelho in delivering his message as the author of the novel using formalism approach. At the end of this research, it can be concluded that Coelho has successfully managed to deliver his idea about boredom and passion – which are inevitable in human’s life – through the very narrative techniques he has chosen.
