The study shows that the main character Siddhartha is searching for salvation through the ordeal life. He learned many teachings from Hinduism, being ascetic Samana, learned Buddha’s teachings, being worldly slave as the courtesan adherent, and finally he finds salvation from the river. In his journey to find salvation, Siddhartha is difficult to find teachings can satisfy him. He got the internal conflict between his worldly and spiritual quest when he became courtesan’s adherent. However, all the inner conflicts that Siddhartha felt have big roles and led him to make the next decision in his life. In the end of Siddhartha’s journey, finally he found salvation. The river has succeeded to change Siddhartha by its voice and “listen” became the key why he gets salvation in his life. Besides, there is the fact that Siddhartha’s story modelled itself on the journey of Siddhartha Gautama the Buddha. Hesse’s Siddhartha was written based on the author’s travel experience in India. The conflict that Hesse portrayed in that story mostly faced by people. In the novel, Hesse characterized Siddhartha as an individual who later found his life wisdom in an act of listening to the voices of nature. Listening means everything for Siddhartha.

Abstract

This study discusses how the portrayal of adults’ superiority towards children in the novel A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett is deconstructed by the work itself. The adults’ superiority is portrayed in the novel, in which the adults are depicted as more superior figure than children. However, the perfect descriptions of the children as portrayed by Sara in the novel show that the hierarchy in child-adult relationship is able to be reversed. This study uses descriptive qualitative method supported by Structuralism’s binary opposition and Derrida’s Deconstruction reading strategy. The aim of this study is to destabilize the novel, A Little Princess, by applying Deconstruction reading strategy. This study shows that the novel deconstructs its portrayal of adults’ superiority towards children. So, by destabilizing the binary opposition in the novel, that is an adult opposes a child, the child-adult hierarchy is reversed. Keywords: adults, children, deconstruction, superiority

This study used psychoanalytic theory of the tripartite model theory by Sigmund Freud and employed qualitative method. The result was the ethical dilemmas of the major characters occurred before they made a decision in their actions. This study revealed that the ethical dilemma happened to them because they needed to think about the impact of their actions on other people or themselves. It could prevent them from doing or saying inappropriate things which could hurt someone's feelings or harm themselves. Another result in this study was that the ethical dilemmas that happened to the major characters mostly represent ego more than the other two parts of psyche. They could control what they wanted to say or do since they thought about the possible things that could happen to each choice before they made the decision.

Abstract

Generally speaking, communication is an inseparable part in daily life since it attempts to convey messages from one person to others. However, there are many problems which occur during the conversation in all languages including English. Therefore, the speakers have to employ some methods in dealing with this kind of problems. Those methods are called communication strategies. More importantly, the communication strategies would be very essential for the speakers who have different knowledge of culture and language. For example, the interaction between foreign tourists and the tour guides. For this reason, I conducted this study which aims to describe how the communication strategies are used in the interaction between the tourist guides and foreign tourists in Borobudur temple. In this study, Celce-Murcia et al’s (1995) model of communication strategies is considered as the most complete and detailed. She divided communication strategies into five main categories. They are avoidance, achievement, stalling, self-monitoring strategies, and interactional strategies. The primary data of this research was in the form of words, sentences, and attitude of the speakers. They were presented in a transcript for each conversation. There were four tourist guides being my research subjects, therefore, there were four transcripts of conversation used as the data. In addition, this research was conducted through qualitative approach since it aims to describe the communication strategies in the conversation. From the analysis of four recorded conversation done by a total of 15 speakers I found out that almost all strategies proposed by Celce-Murcia et al (1995) were employed by the speakers in their conversation in order to compensate for communication breakdowns, except retrieval. From the percentage of the findings, I can conclude that the most used strategy was stalling or time gaining which uses fillers as it has a 21.94% percentage compared to the total amount of the strategies used in the four recorded conversation. After conducting this research, I agree that a real conversation does not always go as smoothly as we think. There are several problems that occur during the communication. In conclusion, the mastery of communication strategy, therefore, is really necessary for the guides in order to cope with those difficulties.

The last is the category which is represented by the  Hispanic, African-American.There are many kinds of groups in society and each group has its own rules and norms. Zoon politicon syndrome happens when the group can push the members to keep align the members with its rules and norms. The signs of zoon politicon syndrome is represented by Akeelah,Terrence, and Mr. Welch. Akeelah who tried not to look smart and Terrence who aped Derrick-T’s clothes and mannerism in order not to be bullied and accepted in the society. The other sign is when Mr. Welch forced Akeelah to join competition with his power as a headmaster.

Abstract

This study is attempted to analyze metaphor in Bob Marley’s selected lyrics; entitled Redemption Song and Buffalo Soldier. The problems of the study are 1) what types and meanings of each metaphor found in Bob Marley’s selected lyrics? 2) How those metaphorical expressions intensify slavery resistance as the content of the songs? The aim of this research is to find out the types of metaphors used in those lyrics and to understand the meanings of words, phrases or sentences contained the data. To achieve the objectives of the study, I used qualitative descriptive research and semantics as the approach in order to interpret the meanings. I collected the data from the songs lyrics, then classified them into types of metaphor. Based on the theories provided, the data were analyzed one by one to know the types of metaphor used and the meaning of them. Metaphorical expressions found mostly in the songs lyrics are structural metaphor and ontological metaphor. In the beginning, the metaphorical expressions were explained in their literal meanings, so they could show the influence of using metaphor in the phrase or sentence. Through songs lyrics as the object of my analysis, it could be concluded that those songs lyrics generally contained metaphorical expressions.
