Medan, April 16th, 2021 Devi Selvia Br Panggabean vi Reg No. 160705038 ABSTRACT This thesis is entitled "Materialism Portrayed in The Winner Stands Alone and Crazy Rich Asians: A Comparative Literature". The author uses novels as the object of research, namely the Crazy Rich Asian novel (2013) by Kevin Kwan and the novel The Winner Stands Alone (2008) by Paulo Coelho. This analysis discusses how materialism is described in the Crazy Rich Asian novel and The Winner Stands Alone novel. In this thesis, the writer uses the sociological theory of literature and social class theory to analyze the novel. The method used in writing this thesis is a qualitative descriptive method. The findings and analysis that can be found in the novel are about differences in social class and also the differences and similarities of materialism in the two novels. This class difference is created because of the existence of social class groups, where they classify their social class, namely the upper class, the middle class and the lower class. Where the upper class doesn't want to accept the middle or lower class into their group. The difference in social class is measured by power or wealth, privilege and prestige which affect the position, lifestyle, habits and behavior between the upper, middle and lower classes so that the gap between the three classes is so striking. The conflict that occurs is a gap in social status within a group and family life or relationships. Keywords: Materialism, Social Class, Comparative Literature, Crazy Rich Asian, The Winner Stands Alone vii ABSTRAK Skripsi ini berjudul "Materialisme yang Digambarkan dalam The Winner Stand Alone and Crazy Rich Asians: A Comparative Literature". Penulis menggunakan novel sebagai objek penelitiannya yaitu novel Crazy Rich Asian (2013) karya Kevin Kwan dan novel The Winner Stands Alone (2008) karya Paulo Coelho. Analisis ini membahas bagaimana materialisme digambarkan dalam novel Crazy Rich Asian dan novel The Winner Stands Alone. Dalam skripsi ini penulis menggunakan teori sosiologi sastra dan teori kelas sosial untuk menganalisis novel. Metode yang digunakan dalam penulisan skripsi ini adalah metode deskriptif kualitatif. Temuan dan analisis yang ditemukan dalam novel tersebut adalah tentang perbedaan kelas sosial serta perbedaan dan persamaan materialisme pada kedua novel tersebut. Perbedaan kelas ini tercipta karena adanya kelompok kelas sosial, dimana mereka mengklasifikasikan kelas sosialnya yaitu kelas atas, kelas menengah dan kelas bawah. Dimana kelas atas tidak mau menerima kelas menengah atau bawah ke dalam kelompoknya. Perbedaan kelas sosial diukur dari kekuasaan atau kekayaan, keistimewaan dan prestise yang mempengaruhi posisi, gaya hidup, kebiasaan dan perilaku antara kelas atas, menengah dan bawah sehingga kesenjangan antara ketiga kelas tersebut begitu mencolok. Konflik yang terjadi adalah kesenjangan status sosial dalam suatu kelompok dan kehidupan atau hubungan keluarga.

    “S.S. KUALA” Researched Passenger List Sunk at Pom Pong Island 14 February 1942 [Version 6.8.0; April 2017] Preface: This list and document have been compiled as a memorial and out of empathy and respect to the women, children and men who lost their lives in that cruel attack by Japanese bombers on the small coastal ship, converted into an auxiliary vessel, “SS. Kuala” on 14 February 1942, twelve hours after it escaped from Singapore. This was the day before Singapore surrendered to the Japanese. Many of the women and children were killed on the ship itself, but even more by continued direct bombing and machine gunning of the sea by Japanese bombers whilst they were desperately trying to swim the few hundred yards to safety on the shores of Pom Pong Island. Many others were swept away by the strong currents which are a feature around Pom Pong Island and, despite surviving for several days, only a handful made it to safety. The Captain of the “Kuala”, Lieutenant Caithness, recorded of the moment “…thirty men and women floated past on rafts and drifted east and then south – west, however only three survivors were picked up off a raft on the Indragiri River, a man and his wife and an army officer…”. The bombing continued even onto the Island itself as the survivors scrambled across slippery rocks and up the steep slopes of the jungle tangled hills of this small uninhabited island in the Indonesian Archipelago – once again, Caithness, recorded “…but when the struggling women were between the ships and the rocks the Jap had turned and deliberately bombed the women in the sea and those struggling on the rocks…”.

  • Sumatra Internees
    SUMATRA INTERNEES including AANS & QA Military Nurses, a few male military personnel interned as civilians [Padang Group] but not including Dutch nationals. Compiled by Jonathan Moffatt, Michael Pether, Becca Kenneison Introduction Four members of the Malayan Volunteers Group are surviving Sumatra internees and others are the children or grandchildren of Sumatra internees. This has generated considerable interest in Sumatra captivity diaries and documents that piece together the story of both groups of Sumatra internees: those interned in the Palembang/Muntok area and those captured at Padang. Many of their names had already come up in Michael Pether and Becca Kenneison’s research into the passenger lists of ships sunk in the Banka Straits in February 1942. Others were recorded as aboard captured vessels including the Mata Hari, the Mary Rose and HMS Tapah. We were aware that although the names of civilians & POWs captured in Singapore were very carefully recorded in documents including the Changi Register and the POW index cards now at National Archives, Kew, the wartime lists of Sumatra internees were extremely inaccurate in both the recording of names and professions. With the list below we hope to put this right. Our main sources of information appear at the end of the list. We welcome any additions and corrections that will enhance this list of names.
