Alternbern and Levis (1996: 14) says fiction is interpreted as prose narrative, it’s an

A novel usually tells human life in its interaction with the environment and each other. A novel is one of human’s creations. Some novel are fiction and some are based on true story. Peck and Coyle (1984:102) says the novel reflects a moving away from an essentially religious view of life towards a new interest in the complexities of everyday experience. Many novels are concerned with ordinary imaginative, usually in logical and contains the truth of dramatization in the relationship of human being.

2. REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

2.1 Novel

A novel is a part of fiction prose that is typically written in a narrative style.

Novel is narrative text which tell about human life. Rees (1973:106) says novel is a fictitious prose narrative of considerable length in which characters and actions representative of real life are portrayed in a plot of more or less complexity. In other words a novel is a story longer, more realistic and more complicated. The novel is the most to read of all kinds of literature. Peck and Coyle (1984:102) says that the novel reflects a move away from an essentially religious view of life towards a new interest in the complexities of everyday experience. Most novels are concerned with ordinary people and their problems in the societies in which they find themselves.

Every novel has been five elements: setting – when and where the story takes place. Characters – the people ( or sometimes animals ) the story is about. Plot – what happens in the story. Theme – the lesson the writer of the story is trying to teach the reader. Setting- critical component for assisting the story and the last point of view – who is telling the story.

2.2 Character

4

UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA One of the most important aspect in a novel is the character. Characters make story become real and interesting. Without characters the novel is nothing. Peck and

Coyle (1984:105) say that character is the people in a novel a referred to as character.

We assess them on them on the basic of what the author tells us about them and on the basis of what they do. The characters are part of a border pattern they are member of society and the author’s distinctive view how people related to society will be reflected in the presentation of every character. Forster (1972) says, two basic types of characters, their qualities, functions, and importance for the development of the novel: flat characters and round characters. Flat characters are two dimensional, in that they are relatively uncomplicated and do not change throughout the course of a work. By contrast, round characters are complex and undergo development, sometimes sufficiently to surprise the reader.

Main character and Minor Character

There is a character which is grouped as important and forward continuously that is thought to determine the large part of story, and on the other hand there is character which is only put forward one several times in story and perhaps it is relatively in short portion of story. The character mentioned first is the major and the second is the minor character.

Main Character

Main character is the individual who contributes the most to the story or who is the most important of the story. The major character always appears in most of the story, either as subject or as object. Nurgiyantoro (2005:176-177) says, Tokoh utama

5

UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA adalah tokoh yang diutamakan penceritaannya dalam novel yang bersangkutan. Ia merupakan tokoh yang paling banyak diceritakan, baik sebagai pelaku kejadian maupun yang dikenai kejadian.

Minor Character

Minor character is the character that appears once or sometimes in a novel, and may be relatively in short portion. Different from the main character minor character take a small role in a story. Minor characters is the character that appears once or sometime in a novel, and may be relatively in short portion. It called peripheral character of ten provide, support, illuminated the protagonist.

Protagonist and Antagonist

From the function of performance character it can be distinguished to protagonist character and antagonist character. When read a novel the readers always identify themselves with the certain character.

Protagonist

Protagonist is a character who is loved by the audience. He or she likes a hero and the audience always give sympathy emphasis. A protagonist is the main character in the story. The protagonist present something that is adjust with ur perception and expectation and that is why we will recognize him or her because he or she similarity with us. In short words, everything felt thought and done by the character represents us.

Antagonist

6

UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA Antagonist is a character that always make a conflict. The antagonist can be said as opposite of the protagonist directly or indirectly. Readers usually hate a characters antagonist in the story. In other words antagonist is a person or a group of people who oppose the main characters.

2.3 Plot

Plot is a literary term defined as the events that make up a story particularly as they relate to one another in a pattern cause and effect. Plot or storyline is often listed as one of fundamental elements of fiction. Roberts and Jacobs (1995:88) say that plot is stories are made up mostly of actions or incidents that follow each other sequentially. Finding a sequential is the first step toward the most important consideration.

2.4 Setting

Setting is a critical component for assisting the story. Robert and Jacobs (1995:

230) say that setting is the natural, manufactured, political, cultural, and temporal environment, including everything that character know and own. Characters may be helped or hurt by their surroundings and they may fight about possession and goals.

Setting in literary work is important because it may a stir the readers imagination as well as reveal the signification of the action.

2.5 Theme

Theme is a common thread or repeated idea that is incorporated throughout a literary work. A theme is a thought or idea the author presents to the reader that may be deep, difficult to understand, or even moralistic. Generally a theme has to be

7

UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA extracted as the reader explores the passage of a work. The author utilizes the characters, plot, and other literary devices to assist the reader in this endeavor.

There are two types of themes that appear in literary works. Main and minor theme. A main theme is an idea that a writer repeats in his work, making it the significant idea a literary work. A minor theme on the other hand refers to an idea that appears in a work briefly and gives way another minor theme.

In the fiction the theme is not intended to teach or preach. In fact it is not presented directly at all. You extract it from the characters, action, and setting that make up story. In other words you must figure out the theme yourself. The writer task is to communicate on a common ground with the reader.

2.6 Point of view

Point of view is the angel of considering things which show us the opinion or feelings of the individuals involved in a situation. In literature point of view is the mode of narration that an author employs to let the readers “ hear” and “see” what takes place in a story, poem, essay etc. point of view is a reflection of the opinion an individual from real life or fiction can have. Broadly speaking, there are three major kinds of points of view: The perspective from which a speaker or writer recounts a narrative or presents information. Depending on the topic, purpose, and audience.

Point of view is a reflection of the opinion an individual from real life or fiction.

Courageous

On Monday morning the first week of June he start to following orientation in his new school Goode High School. When he following orientation tour in his school he met with monsters in that school. That’s monsters is cheerleading squad. They want to kill Percy Jackson, because that Percy fight with that’s monster. After that, the monsters to burst make the room burnt. Because that he leave his school and went to the Half-bloods hill. He went with his friend Annabeth.

9

UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA “She nodded. We’d fought together so many times we knew each other’s moves. We could do this, easy. But it all went wrong when the other two scorpions appeared from the woods. Three, Annabeth said. That’s not possible the whole woods, and half the monsters come at us . I swallowed. One, we could take. Two, win a little luck. Three doubtful. The scorpions scurried toward us, whipping their barbed tails like they’d come here just to kill us. Annabeth and I put our backs against the nearest boulder”. ( Rick Riordan 2009: 57 ) In the Half-bloods hill have one problem, Luke want to attack Half-bloods hill, and to kill all of dwellers in Half-bloods hill . Luke is enemy dwellers Half- bloods hill, he live in the Labyrinth. The only way to attack Half-bloods hill is he must found Ariadne’s string who saving by Daedallus. Daedallus is creator of

Labyrinth. So dwellers Half-bloods hill gather to decide who is entered to Labyrinth and found Daedalous workshop and take Ariadne’s string to Half-bloods hill. Percy is courageous person he ready entered to Labyrint . As written below,

“ She stood. Look, the point is, I have to go in. I’ll find the workshop and stop Luke. And … I need help. She turned to me. Will you came? I didn’t even hesitate. I’m in”. ( Rick Riordan 2009: 74 )

When they in found workshop Daedalous , they to asking about Ariadne’s string but Daedalous can’t to help them because he has give that’s Ariadne’s string to

Luke. And that moment Luke troop came to workshop Daedalous and they attack

Percy and his friends, because that’s Rachel partner of Percy steal some slightly used and they together jumped out the window into open sky. As written below,

“ jumping out a window five hundred feet above ground is not usually my idea of fun. Especially when I’m wearing bronze wings and flapping my arms like a duck. I plummeted to ward the valley and the red rocks below. I was pretty sure I was going to become a grease spot in the Garden of the Gods, as Annabeth yelled from somewhere above me, spread your arms, keep them extended”. ( Rick Riordan 2009:289)

10

UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA After jumping out from Labyrinth they stay in Colorado Springs and they found entrance to Labyrinth. In the Labyrinth they found Luke entrance the way to the Mount Othrys the Titan place. Percy entered to Titan place and use the hat. He put in on and he disappear. In the Titan place he fight with Luke. As written below,

“Finally I found my nerve. I lunged at the thing that used to be Luke, thrusting my blade straight at his chest, but his skin deflected the blow like he was made of pure steel. He looked at me with amusement. Then he flicked his hand, and I flew across the room. I slammed against a pillar,”. ( Rick Riordan 2009:304)

Because they can’t found Ariadne’s string they back to the Half-bloods hill, the next day troop of Luke attack a Half-bloods hill therefore all dwellers of Half-bloods hill fight with Luke troop. Percy fight with hellhound. As written below,

“ I closed on the hellhound, which was now pushing the satyrs back toward the woods. The beast snapped at one satyr, who danced out of its way, but then it pounced on another who was too slow. The satyr’s tree-bark shield cracked as he fell. Hey I yelled the hellhound turned. It snarled at me leaped. It would’ve clawed me to pieces, but as I fell backward, my fingers closed around a clay jar-one of Beckendorf containers of Greek fire. I tossed at into the hellhound’s maw, and the creature went up in flames. I scrambled away, breathing heavily. ( Rick Riordan 2009:327)

Humble

In the Labyrinth they arrested by two dracaena , snake women in Greek armor , leveled their javelins at our chests. Standing between them was Kelli, the empousa cheerleader .in the Labyrinth. They are troop of Luke. Percy Jackson and his friends take to the room gladiator. Percy must fight with troop Luke in other they can continue their trip. Percy fight with Ethan Nakamura, after to defeat Ethan Percy help him. As written below

11

UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA “ Don’t be a fool, Ethan groaned. They’ll just kill us both. I offered him my hand. Reluctantly, he took it. I helped him up”. ( Rick Riordan 2009: 262)

After they can to defeat Luke troop, the troop of Luke dropped their weapons and ran to their lives. The giant trampled the dracaena trying to get into the Labyrint first. Telkhines and hellhounds and enemy half-bloods scrambled after them. The tunnel rumbled shut, and the battle was over. Daedalous to met with Percy and gave request in other Percy can keep her Mrs. O’Leary. As written below,

“Daedalus nodded. Well done, son of Hades. You are becoming wise. Then he turned toward me. One last favor, Percy Jackson. I cannot leave Mrs. O’Leary alone. And she has no desire to return to the Underworld. Will you care for her?. I looked at the massive black hound, who whimpered pitifully, still licking Daedalus’s . W was thinking that my mom’s apartment wouldn’t allow dogs, especially dogs bigger than apartment, but I said yeah, of course I will”. ( Rick Riordan 2009:335) Fighter

When he in the half-bloods hill, he follow game with her friends , He one group with Annabeth. they must collect the gold laurels without dying. They can found gold laurels in the jungle. On the jungle they met with scorpions , the scorpions scurried to ward them and they must fight with scorpions. As written below,

“She nodded. We’d fought together so many times we knew each other’s moves. We could do this, easy. But it all went wrong when the other two scorpions appeared from the woods. Three, Annabeth said. That’s not possible the whole woods, and half the monsters come at us . I swallowed. One, we could take. Two, wint a little luck. Three doubtful. The scorpions scurried toward us, whipping their barbed tails like they’d come here just to kill us. Annabeth and I put our backs against the nearest boulder”. ( Rick Riordan 2009: 57 )

The scorpions scurried toward him, and they were so close he could see hideous mouths foaming, anticipating a nice meal of demigods. He try to attack the scorpions. As written below,

12

UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA “Look out Annabeth parried away a stinger with the flat of her blade. I stabbed with Riptide, but the scorpion backed out of range. We clambered sideways along the boulders, but the scorpions followed us. I slashed at another one, but going on the offensive was too dangerous. If I went for the body, the tail stabbed downward. If I went for the tail, the thing’s pincers came from either side and tried to grab me. All we could do was defend, and we wouldn’t be able to keep that up for very long”. ( Rick Riordan 2009: 58 )

When they in the Labyrinth they visit the demon dude ranch they met with man his face was weathered and brown from years in the sun. he had slick black hair and black pencil . He had three body, his neck connected to the middle chest like normal, but he had two more chests, one to either side, connected at the shoulders, with a few inches in between. His left arm grew out of his left chest, and the same on the right, so he had two arms, but four armpits, he is Geryon. He gave challenge to Percy Jackson if they want to continue their trip, he must make stables clean after clean stables Geryon not permit Percy and his friends continue their trip because that Percy fight with Geryon . As written below,

“He raised his swords and charged. I dove sideways. Before he could turn. I hot arrow into the side of his right chest. I heard THUMP,THUMP,THUMP as the arrow passed clean through each of his chests and flew out his left side, embedding it self in the forehead of the grizzy bear trophy. Geryon dropped his swprds. He turned and stared at me. You can’t shoot. They told me you couldn’t.. his face turned a sickly shade of green. He collapsed to his knees and began crumbling into san, until all that was left were three cooking aprons and as oversized pair of cowboy boots”. (Rick Riordan 2009:158)

In the Labyrinth they arrested by two dracaena , snake women in Greek armor

, leveled their javelins at our chests. Standing between them was Kelli, the empousa cheerleader .in the Labyrinth. They are troop of Luke. Percy Jackson and his friends

13

UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA take to the room gladiator. Percy must defeat troop Luke in other they can continue their trip. As written below,

“Round one. Antaeus announced. The gates opened and a dracaena slithered out. She had a trident in one hand and weighted net in the other- classic gladiator style. I’d trained against those weapons at camp for years. She jabbed at me experimentally. I stepped away. She threw her net, hoping to tangle my sword hand, but I sidestepped easily, sliced her spear in half, and stabbed Riptide through a chink in her armor. With a painful wail, she vaporized into nothing, and the cheering of the crowd died”. ( Rick Riordan 2009:260)

In second round Percy fight with young warrior, he had glossy black hair, and his left eye was covered with an eye patch. He was thin and wiry so his Greek armor hung on him loosely. He is Ethan Nakamura. Ethan Nakamura is troop of Luke but he’d never been at camp half-blood. As written below,

“ He pressed forward. He was good. He’d never been at Camp Half-Blood, as far as I knew, but he’d been trained. He parried my strike and almost slammed me with his shield, but I jumped back. He slashed. I rolled to one side. We exchanged thrusts and parries, getting a feel for each other’s fighting style. I tried to keep on Ethan’s blind side, but it didn’t help much. He’d apparently been fighting with only one eye for a long time, because he was excellent at guarding his left” ( Rick Riordan 2009: 261)

After 5 minutes fight and there was no blood, Percy Jackson can defeat him after

Ethan Nakamura made mistake , his sword dropped into the dirt. As written below,

“Ethan pressed me, but I had no trouble defending, even without a shield. He was dressed for defense- heavy armor and shield-which made it very tiring to play offense. I was a softer target, but also was lighter and faster. The crowd went nuts, yelling complaints and throwing rocks. We’d been fighting for almost five minutes and there was no blood. Finally Ethan made his mistake. He tried to jab at my stomach, and I locked his sword hilt in mine and twisted. His sword dropped into the dirt, before he could recover, I slammed the butt of my sword into his helmet and pushed him down. His heavy armor helped me more than him. He fell on his back, dazed and tired. I put the tip of my sword on his chest. ( Rick Riordan 2009:262)

14

UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA After defeat Ethan Nakamura, Antaeus entered to room gladiator. Antaeus is son of Posedium , Posedium is father of Percy Jackson. Fight with Antaeus is the final because if Antaeus winner Percy and his friends can continue their trip but if Percy defeated they will dead.as written below,

“Antaeus lunged. I rolled under his legs and stabbed him in the back of his thing. Arrhh he yelled, but where blood should’ve come out, there was spout of sand, like I’d busted the side of an hourglass. It spilled into the dirt floor, and the dirt collected around his leg, almost like a cast. When the dirt fell away, the wound was gone. He charged again, Fortunately I’d had some experience fighting giants. I dodged sideways this time and stabbed him under the arm. Riptide’s blade was buried to the hilt in his ribs. That was the good news. The bad news was that it wrenched out of my hand when the giant turned, and I was thrown across the arena, weaponless. ( Rick Riordan 2009:264)

After to defeat hellhound Percy fight again with a monster and Kampe , they are very strong. Annabeth look Percy being overburdened she help Percy to fight with the monster and Kampe. As written below,

“ Together we charged, dodged the monster’s slashes, got inside her guard, and almost.. almost managed to stab Kampe in the chest, but a huge bear’s head lashed out from the monster’s waist, and we had to stumble backward to avoid getting bitten. ( Rick Riordan 2009:330)

Finally they can to defeat Luke troop, the troop of Luke dropped their weapons and ran to their lives. The giant trampled the dracaena trying to get into the Labyrint first. Telkhines and hellhounds and enemy half-bloods scrambled after them. The tunnel rumbled shut, and the battle was over. The clearing was quiet except for fires burning in the woods, and the cries of the wounded.

He gave challenge to Percy Jackson if they want to continue their trip, he must make stables clean and Percy optimistic he can finished this challenge. As written below,

“ As I got closer to the fence I held my shirt over my nose to block the smell. One stallion waded through the muck and whinnied angrily at me. He bared his teeth, which were pointed like a bear’s”. ( Rick Riordan 2009: 149 )

After back from the Labyrinth, he back to his town Mahattan with Annabeth and visit his mother in the apartment , there Percy promise to his mother that he will explain to the Paul Blisfo who is him.
