Abstract

ABSTRACT  This paper analyzes the portrayal of Victorian women and men in the poem of Moira O'Neill, entitled “The Grand Match”. The poem gives the description of men and women relationship related to the discussion of love and marriage. As one of Victorian female poets, O'Neill tries to satirize the relationship of women and men by portraying the love story of a stereotypical male fortune seeker, who marries a rich woman and denies his own feeling toward a young-charming woman. This study is an attempt to show that O'Neill's female characters are not typically women commonly found in a literary text during the era in which it was written. In many ways they position themselves as a complete break from the traditional stereotyping of women, and they even can be seen as the representation of “New Woman”. In addition, through this study, the readers would be able to broaden their perspectives that although the Victorian Age was known as the era of prose, there are a lot of poems worth reading.

Abstract

This paper is an attempt to discuss the personality of Henry Fleming, a fiction character in the novel the “Red Badge of Courage. The problem statement in this paper is “What defense mechanisms which occur in Fleming's character”? This study used American Studies theory by Robert Meredith which agrees that the American Studies approach needs more than one academic discipline. The reconciliation of academic discipline enables the writer uses psychological approach. According to Wilbur S. Scott the application of psychological knowledge can generate three kinds of study and analysis: a more precise language with which to discuss the creative process, a study of lives of authors, and the use of psychology to analyze fictional characters. The theories of psychology were taken from Sigmund Freud's Psychoanalysis: A General Introduction to Psychoanalysis (2002), Sigmund Freud's The Ego and The Id (1962), and Anna Freud's The Ego and Defense Mechanism (1948). The result of the study shows that there are a total of 25 acts of defense mechanisms conducted by Fleming in this novel. Henry acts all of the ten defense mechanisms from Anna Freud's theory. The primary act of denial is refusing to accept the condition Henry is facing and even lying to his own comrades. The acts of regression are not to talk to his own comrades either to help or just ignoring his comrades. Most of the acts of fantasy are about the ideal war in Henry's perspective which in reality was far from it. In the acts of displacement, most are by blaming his comrades and his generals instead of the enemy. The act of sublimation is conducted by hiding his fear and projecting his confidence. In the act of projection, Henry is projecting his insecurities to his enemy and his generals. Henry's act of rationalization is by justifying his flee from the battle. Henry's act of intellectualization is by 2 letting his thought overcome his act. The act of repression is by forgetting the fact that he is dependant to someone. And in the last, the act of reaction formation is by attacking the enemy in order to hide his fears.

Abstract

One of the most widely discussed concepts in education and educational reform these days is critical thinking. This thing we call critical thinking or analysis has strong cultural components. An area of cultural difference that may influence critical thinking is the use of language to effect thinking and learning. It is more than just a set of writing and thinking techniques- it is a voice, a stance, a relationship with texts and family members, friends, teachers, the media, even the history of one's country (Fox, 1994, p.125). Critical thinking begins when people make the connections between their individual lives and social conditions. In classrooms that feature critical thinking, students are encouraged to participate actively, raising issues of concern in their daily lives, such as work, school, and housing as topics for class discussion. As teachers and scholars grow to understand the unique characteristics of the culture, it is important to see, observe, analyze and response appropriately through language in the class and social life so that young generation can learn how to appreciate members of another culture and go hand in hand with them. It may become an effort to shape the civil society. This condition does not stop at that step. It leads them to act and response critically in daily life. Then, this beneficial actions form good characters
