Yogyakarta, January 25, 2007 The writer Metty Cahyaningrum v PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI ABSTRACT Metty Cahyaningrum. 2007. The Influence of Her Mother’s Lifestyles on Liza’s Life as Seen in Rendell’s The Crocodile Bird. Yogyakarta: English Language Education Study Program, Department of Language and Arts Education, Faculty of Teachers Training and Education, Sanata Dharma University. This thesis discusses Ruth Rendell’s novel entitled The Crocodile Bird. The novel pictures the life of a young woman named Liza who is secluded for almost all her life by her mother, named Eve, in an isolated place in Britain called Shrove. This study discusses the lifestyles that her mother chooses and how those lifestyles influence Liza’s life. There are two problems to discuss in this study: (1) What kinds of lifestyles does Eve, Liza’s mother, choose? (2) How do the lifestyles influence Liza’s life? This study is conducted by using a library research. There are two kinds of sources employed in this study: primary and secondary sources. The primary source is the novel The Crocodile Bird itself which becomes the object of the study. The secondary sources are books on literature, psychology and internet sources that provide information related to the study. This study utilizes theory of character and characterization and theory of motivation and lifestyles. The approach used is the psychological approach because this study deals with the main characters’ motivation, their lifestyles, and how those lifestyles can influence someone’s life. The analysis of the main characters in the story shows that Eve employs some lifestyles in her life. They are simple living, environmentalism, serial monogamy, and secularity. She chooses those lifestyles because of some reasons. They are because of her horrible past experience, her love to Shrove, her love to Liza, and her criminal acts that she has done. The analysis also shows that Eve’s choice of lifestyles influence Liza in many ways. The influences on Liza are on her curiousity on new things, her meaning construction of some things like marriage, death and love, her appreciation to the nature, her view about woman, and the way she sees her life. This thesis also provides some suggestions for future researchers related to other possible studies on The Crocodile Bird. Future researches may focus on other topics, such as a close relationship between the mother and the daughter. Additionally, the study also provides the implementation of the novel as a material in teaching English in speaking class. vi PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI ABSTRAK Metty Cahyaningrum. 2007. The Influence of Her Mother’s Lifestyles on Liza’s Life as Seen in Rendell’s The Crocodile Bird. Yogyakarta: Program Studi Pendidikan Bahasa Inggris, Jurusan Pendidikan Bahasa dan Seni, Fakultas Keguruan dan Ilmu Pendidikan, Universitas Sanata Dharma. Skripsi ini membahas novel karya Ruth Rendell yang berjudul The Crocodile Bird. Novel ini menggambarkan kehidupan seorang wanita muda yang bernama Liza yang hampir selama hidupnya dipingit oleh ibunya yang bernama Eve di sebuah tempat terpencil di Inggris yang bernama Shrove. Skripsi ini membahas gaya-gaya hidup yang dipilih oleh sang ibu dan bagaimana gaya-gaya hidup tersebut mempengaruhi kehidupan Liza. Ada dua permasalahan yang dibahas dalam skripsi ini: (1) Apa saja gaya hidup yang dipilih oleh Eve, sang ibu? (2) Bagaimana gaya-gaya hidup tersebut mempengaruhi kehidupan Liza? Studi ini menggunakan studi pustaka. Ada dua macam sumber yang digunakan: sumber utama dan sumber kedua. Sumber utama adalah novel The Crocodile Bird itu sendiri yang juga menjadi objek studi. Sumber-sumber kedua diambil dari buku-buku literatur, buku psikologi, dan sumber-sumber dari internet yang menyediakan informasi yang berkaitan dengan studi ini. Studi ini menggunakan teori tokoh dan penokohan serta teori mengenai motivasi dan gaya hidup. Pendekatan yang digunakan adalah pendekatan psikologi karena studi ini membahas mengenai motivasi dari para pemeran utama, gaya hidup mereka, dan bagaimana gaya hidup tersebut dapat mempengaruhi hidup seseorang. Analisis dari para karakter utama di dalam cerita menunjukkan bahwa Eve memiliki beberapa gaya hidup dalam hidupnya. Mereka adalah gaya hidup sederhana, cinta lingkungan, monogami berseri, dan gaya hidup sekuler. Dia memilih gaya hidup tersebut karena pengalaman masa lalunya yang buruk, kecintaannya pada Shrove, kecintaanya pada Liza, serta perbuatan kriminal yang telah dilakukannya. Analisis juga menunjukkan bahwa pilihan Eve akan gaya-gaya hidupnya mempengaruhi kehidupan Liza dalam banyak hal. Pengaruh pada Liza tersebut antara lain pada keingintahuannya akan hal-hal baru, pembentukan maknanya akan beberapa konsep seperti pernikahan, kematian, dan cinta, pengharaannya terhadap lingkungan, pandangannya mengenai wanita, dan bagaimana dia melihat kehidupannya. Skripsi ini juga memberikan beberapa saran untuk para peneliti yang akan datang berkaitan dengan studi-studi yang mungkin pada The Crocodile Bird. Peneliti yang akan datang bisa berfokus pada topik-topik lain seperti kedekatan hubungan antara ibu dan anak. Selain itu, studi ini juga menyediakan penerapan novel ini sebagai salah satu materi dalam mengajarkan bahasa Inggris dalam kelas berbicara. vii PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First of all, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Allah SWT for making everything possible.

  • Exercises Final Edit
    _______________________________________________________ THE SIMPLICITY EXERCISES A SOURCEBOOK FOR SIMPLICITY EDUCATORS Mark A Burch Simplicity Institute Report 12k, 2012 SPECIAL ISSUE ____________________ SIMPLICITY INSTITUTE PRAISE FOR THE SIMPLICITY EXERCISES: Mark Burch is the real deal—it’s evident from The Simplicity Exercises that he’s spent a lifetime integrating simple living principles into his own life, and luckily for the rest of us, has developed and honed exercises to help others do the same. Seasoned voluntary simplicity facilitators will appreciate how thorough and well-presented these activities are. In fact, the material is so well-thought out that informal educators new to simple living could use Mark’s book with confidence. If you’re ready to change your game plan or help others do so, this book ofers real transformative opportunities. C. Jones, M. Div., Adult Educator and Simple Living Enthusiast Refraining from adding to the critique of current social, economic and ecological challenges, Burch makes a notable shift towards positive social transformation, opting to share the rewards and potentials of simple living with others rather than additional criticism and analysis of contemporary problems. … The sourcebook is therefore an important and valuable resource for all educators or individuals interested in exploring simplicity further,.. Natalie Swayze, Research Associate, Centre for Indigenous Science Education, The University of Winnipeg In The Simplicity Exercises, Burch provides us with a path through that mental barrier [to transformative change] with comprehensive and well-thought-out group thought- experiments and exercises. Drawing from years of real-world experience, the book provides us a path beyond fear, critique and common despair-ridden questions about how to move forward to solve the challenges of our time.

Controlling What Is Wild The Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act and Ecoterrorism Thomas Levendosky Environmental Studies 4000: Senior Thesis May 15, 2016 1 Abstract This thesis examines the extremist side of the environmental activism commonly known as ecoterrorism, and the subsequent implications of categorizing criminal activism as terrorism. Groups such as Earth First!, the Animal Liberation Front (ALF), and the Environmental Liberation Front (ELF) strive to protect the natural world from the detrimental impacts of industrialization. Activists affiliated with these groups endorse direct action against environmentally harmful enterprises. Extremists are motivated by the belief that they are on the frontline defending the defenseless. They hope to dissuade corporations and government agencies from exploiting the natural world by exposing unethical practices and causing economic damage. The strategy of direct action can involve sabotaging of industrial equipment (monkeywrenching), arson, and tree spiking. Direct action also promotes nonviolent protest and civil disobedience to obstruct industrial development.

You eating from the trash?” [emphasis original] (2013, 9). Talmadge says that yes, yes he is and that the excesses of capital are ruining society: people are starving while supermarkets dump perfectly good food. Crabtree responds that Talmadge is crazy if he thinks anything is changed by going through the garbage.

  • INTRODUCTION We Are Writing This Zine to Create a Discussion About
    INTRODUCTION We are writing this zine to create a discussion about freeganism and wether or not it has any place in the struggle towards total liberation. We (the authors) identify as anarchists, and recognise that human-supremacy is one of the most widespread and destructive authoritarian constructs to exist in the shit hole that is industrial society. Veganism for us is not about dietary or consumer choices but is part of an intersectional approach to living in a non hierarchical way that seeks to actively confront and challenge the structures and ways of life under the various systems of authority. This zine is directed at people who associate themselves with anarchism and seek to challenge hierarchy in their day to day lives. If you serisouly think that you can vote with your money and that consumer choices will shape the future of human relationships or the wellbeing of the earth and all of its inhabitants, then please put this zine down and continue living in your bubble full of hope. We aim to create a more radical critique of human supremacy then a simple economic-centric catch phrase. Since the anti globalisation movement has discovered there is food to be found in dumpsters, people made up this funny word freeganism, and created an anti capitalist critique to go with it, some might even claim it is a lifestyle. This trend is blocking the path towards total liberation since it is blurring the lines between speciesism and anticapaitalism[1], creating confusing situations. Such as walking into an anarchist space to find people with ALF patches skinning a rabbit in the middle of the room and preparing a pot of stinking roadkill bone broth, preaching that this is a more natural way of living.
