An Analysis of Irony in John Grisham’s The Rainmaker. English Language Education Study Program, Department of Language and Arts Education, Faculty of Teachers Training and Education, Yogyakarta, Sanata Dharma University. The research discusses the irony portrayed in the novel The Rainmaker. The novel was selected out of other books because it was the only one screenplayed to be a movie despite the novel not being a best-seller. The novel also makes use of exciting plot. The exciting plot employs the use of irony throughout the story. Therefore, the researcher decided to analyse the relation between irony and plot. In order to analyse deeply about the elements of the story, there are three problems examined in the research. First, analysing the plot structure of the story is essential. The second problem deals with how the irony is portrayed in the story. The last problem concerns how the irony influences the flow of the story. Using library research as the method of the research, the theory of Abrams and Harpham and Arp and Johnson on irony is gained to analyse the use of verbal and situational irony portrayed in The Rainmaker novel. The data and references needed for the analysis were gathered from printed and electronic books, articles, encyclopedia, journals and some on-line references. There are three findings to answer the problems formulated previously. The first finding discloses how Rudy confronts an experienced lawyer to prove the innocence of his client, which is categorised into exposition, crisis, climax, and resolution. The second finding shows the use of verbal irony in exposition and crisis parts of the story. The situational irony is also portrayed in crisis, climax, and resolution. The third finding shows that through the use of irony, the plot twist could add essential suspense needed by the readers to keep reading the story. Keywords: irony, verbal irony, situational irony, The Rainmaker, plot, plot structure. vi PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI ABSTRAK Asthereni, Patricia Vania Septhine Yulia. (2016).

    WHAT'S AMISS? THE LAWYERING INTEREST IN..., 65 Consumer Fin. L.Q.... 65 Consumer Fin. L.Q. Rep. 151 Consumer Finance Law Quarterly Report Spring/Summer, 2011 Plus Jonathan C. Lipsona1 Copyright © 2011 by Conference on Consumer Finance Law; Jonathan C. Lipson WHAT'S AMISS? THE LAWYERING INTEREST IN “MISCELLANEOUS” CONTRACT PROVISIONS I. Introduction A. Why Do Contracts Have “Miscellaneous” Provisions? This basic question raises several subsidiary questions. First, what do we mean by “miscellaneous” provisions? How do we distinguish the miscellaneous from the “non-miscellaneous” parts? Second - and more importantly - how do we assess the merits of various miscellaneous provisions? What work - if any - do these provisions do in the contracts of which they are a part? Miscellaneous provisions are generally the terms at the back of an agreement that deal with a variety of matters secondary to the “heart” of the contract (e.g., the sale of stock or the granting of a security interest). Some address future disputes (choice of law; choice of venue). Others address more technical matters (rules of construction; notice provisions). These may (perhaps pejoratively) be characterized as boilerplate. Yet, they tend at bottom to deal with something vital to the deal, even as it may be ancillary: what happens if things change? Thus, miscellaneous provisions not only contemplate litigation (implying breach, certainly a kind of change), but also rules on the rights of successors and assigns, how the parties should interpret the language of the contract, and so on. This brief essay argues that miscellaneous provisions exist as much to benefit lawyers as clients, reflecting a kind of “lawyering interest” in the design and execution of contracts.

  • The Limits of Irony: the Chronillogical World Of
    THELIMITS OF IRONY The Chronillogical World of Martin Arnis' Time's Arrow s a work of Holocaust fiction, Martin Arnis' Time'sArrm is as A, oving and disturbing as it is ingenious; indeed, it is Amis' narrative ingenuity that is responsible for the work's moral and emotional impact. What moves and disturbs the reader is the multitude of ironies that result from the reversal of time- the "narrative conceitn (Diedrick 164) that structures and drives the novel.' In Time'sArrow the normal present-to-future progression becomes the movement from present to past and the normative convention of realistic fiction-the inability to foresee the future- becomes the inability to recall the past. A narrator in Amis' Einstein's Monsters describes the 20th-century as "the age when irony really came into its own" (37) and Time'sAwow is an ironic tour-de-force if ever there was one. The minor and major ironies generated by the time- reversal all follow from the most important effect of the trope- the reversal of all normal cause-effect relations. (The minor become major as the reverse becomes increasinglypmerse.) The irony is structural-formal when the reader recognizes that the novel is an inverted Bihhngsromn- detailing the devolution of the protagonist- and an autobiography told by an amnesiac; but as might be expected, the trope results in an array of more locally comic, and then, grimly dark ironies. Indeed, the work's most disturbing effects are the epistemological and, ultimately, onto- logical uncertainties which are the cumulative impact of the narrative method.

    CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background of The Study According to Paul Findley (2008), bravery is a character to defend and struggle something which is reputed as the right thing for facing all forms of danger and difficulty. Not only men who has bravery in theirself but also women. Nowadays there are still so many women are not brave enough to express their opinion and what they think right to do.

Women has the same freedom with man to express and do what they want to do, what they think right to do. God has indeed created different between women and men to complement each other. Each has their own rights, obligations, and roles. Perhaps in some cases women and men can exchange roles but that does not necessarily serve as a footing that men and women can replace each other.
