Abstract

Apart from being an entertainment medium, literature has also an important role in exposing social problems, as basically literature is born and is intended for the community. Through the disclosure of social problems, the role of literature is increasingly developing, among others, as a medium of teaching, reference, reflection, character building and also criticism. Thus, it is clearly illustrated that literature has multifunctional roles. The message conveyed through literature can be effectively absorbed by the community owing to the entertainment factor. Through the poem Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard, Thomas Gray tells the story of the lives of marginal people, always having to face problems. Through descriptive qualitative research method, referring to social phenomena, supported by sociology of literature approach, the results of the study show that there are three social problems that always arise in the community, especially in the lower class one: poverty, right to get proper education and equality to obtain opportunities in the line of life. These three social problems are closely interrelated so that they become a unification undermining the lives of marginalized people.

Abstract

Justin Zackham published the script for his film The Bucket List in 2007. The script tells the story of two men who have serious illnesses and have a strong desire to continue doing things they haven't done before they die. The film script was adopted into a film in 2008. This study aims to reveal the moral values contained in the film script. Various theories related to moral values were adopted to support this analysis, but the main theory that will be used is the theory proposed by Berterns. Another concept is proposed by Elizabeth stating that moral is controlled by the moral, the rules of moral to which the members of a culture have become accustomed to and which determine the expected behavior pattern of all group members. The method used in this study is a qualitative descriptive method. The results of the analysis show that the moral values found in the characters discussed, Edward Cole and Carter Chambers, are the values of courage, honesty, patience, responsibility, and humility. These moral values make the two characters successful and useful for many people.
