ABSTRACT Name : Dyah Suprobowati NIM : 40300112014 Major : English Literature Department Faculty : Adab and Humanity Title : Symbols of the Nature Destruction in Transformers Movie Supervisor I : Syahruni Junaid Supervisor II : Muhammad Taufik

This research discussed about symbols of the nature destruction in Transformers movie by Ehren Kruger that based on Pierce’s theory about symbols of the semiotics triangle such as object, representament, interpretant and Sobur’s theory about interpretation of the object meaning. This research was descriptive qualitative method. The writer used note taking as instruments in order to get the valid data. The findings showed eight picture symbols of the nature destruction in the movie as they were; detector, nuclear, nest, an engine ship, pillar, enemy, the driller, and the space bridge. The researcher concluded that symbols of the nature destruction were symbols that describe about something damaged due to action or something else that can be seen from the things that have potential to damage, such as pictures, tools, creation, and light. Keywords: Symbol, nature destruction, and movie

CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

This chapter deals with background of the research, problem statement, objectives of the research, significance of the research, and scope of the research.

A. Background

Human are social beings. In order to communicate each other, they need a language. Language is an important tool in communication. As we know that language is any system of formalized symbols, signs, sounds, gestures, or the like used or conceived as a means of communicating thought, emotion, and other aspects.

The term “symbol” derives from the Greek stem of ballein ‘to throw’ and syn

‘together’. This etymology characterizes the way that words are forced into correspondence with ideas and their physical referents irrespective of any natural affinities. Throughout philosophical history, the term ‘symbol’ is almost exclusively applied to spoken utterances, inscriptions, or other culturally generated meaningful artifacts and actions created specifically for representational purposes. These cultural phenomena include talismans, ritual performances, religious relics, military insignias, spoken words, and typographical characters, among innumerable other forms. In contrast, a cough is generally referred to as a sign of a respiratory infection, not a symbol, and portraits are generally described as depicting people, not symbolizing them. Symbols are manifested in images, shapes, movements, or objects that

represent an idea. These latter are signs that represent by virtue of some ‘natural affinity’, irrespective of human cultural intervention (Deacon 2011 : 1).

A symbol is a sign that stands for its referent in an arbitrary, conventional way. Most semioticians agree that symbolicity is what sets human representation apart from that of all other species, allowing the human species to reflect upon the world separately from stimulus-response situations (Sobeok 2001:23).

In explanation above, that symbol is something used for, or regarded as, representing something else. More specifically, a symbol is a word, phrase, or other expression having a complex of associated meanings; in this sense, a symbol is viewed as having values different from those of whatever is being symbolized.

Nature destruction is anything that of nature or wealth has been polluted and damaged by natural factors and some human activities. It is cited in Al Qur’an Surah

Ar Rum ayat 41 as follows:

“Corruption has appeared throughout the land and sea by [reason of] what the hands of people have earned so He may let them taste part of [the consequence of] what they have done that perhaps they will return [to righteousness].”

From explanation above, it can be concluded that telling about the nature destruction in this world, it is caused not only nature but also humans instead the aspect of the occurrence of nature destruction.

The writer is interested to analyze the film "Transformers" to explore the existence of chemical symbols that refers to nature destruction in the film. Film is a powerful medium: being primarily visual, it therefore caters to a wide audience while natural destruction are divided into those thought of as originating from forces of nature or from the effects of humans. The writer is interested in analyzing this topic about chemical because in general research about symbols focus on symbols illuminati while this thesis focusing on symbols of nature destruction that many found in this “Transformers” movie. Destruction caused by humans included transportation accidents, industrial accidents, release of hazardous materials and the collapse of buildings (Hopkins 2008:28). Through this film, the writer will analyze the kinds of nature destruction symbol.

B. Problem Statement

Based on the background above, the writer formulates two research question as follow:

1. What are the nature destruction symbols found in this movie?

2. What are the meaning of those symbol in the movie?

C. Objective of the Research

From above research question, it can be concluded that the objectives of this research are:

1. To know the symbols of nature destruction in transformers movie.

2. To know the meaning of nature destruction symbol that found in transformers

movie.

D. Significance of the Research

The significances of this research as follow:

1. Theoretically, this thesis will be a reference to students of work devotee,

especially for students of English and Literature Department, for doing

research about symbol.

2. Practically; this theory will be able to give more knowledge to the readers

about symbol.

3. The writer hopes that this writing will give some useful information for the

writer herself, students, society and others who want to know more about

literature, especially about the symbol of the nature destruction not only in the

transformers movie but also in other movies.

E. Scope of the research

This research is restricted to discuss about meaning of symbols. In this movie, the writer find many symbols but in this research focused on symbol of natural destruction. In this research, used Pierce’s theory and Sobur’s theory as complement theory in order to interpret the meaning of the object.

CHAPTER II

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

This chapter deals with some relevant research findings, some pertinent ideas, resume and theoretical framework.

A. Previous Study

Researches have been reported about symbol of nature destruction, some of them are as follow:

Imran (2013) in his thesis “Analysis of Symbol in Dan Browm’s Novel “The

Lost Symbol”. In this thesis, he found three kinds of symbols: Personal symbol, consist of: The Order Eight Franklin Square, Melencolia I, SBB13, Masonic Ring,

The Apotheosis of Washington, and The duble-headed phonix; Cultural symbol, consist of: Statue of Freedom, Hand of the Mysteries, Masonic Pyramid, Freemason’s

Chiper, Great Seal of the United States, Kryptos, Federal Triangle, Number 33 and

Cross or Rose Cross; Universal symbol, the writer found one symbols: Sacred Book.

All symbols used in “The Lost Symbol” Novel by Dan Brown is to show as unite state of America is nation build from freemason spirit. This study used semiotic approach because this analysis about symbol in the novel. The data were analyzed by using Jerry’s theory.

Rosida (2007) in her thesis “The Analysis of Symbols in the Novel “The

Scarlet Letter” by Nathaniel Hawthorne”. She found four kinds of symbols use

within the novel, namely: the scarlet letter, the meteor, pearls, and the rosebush next to the prison. The objective of this study is to analyze the symbol in the Novel “The

Scarlet Letter” by Nathaniel Hawthorne”. This study used semiotic approach because this analysis about symbol in the novel. The data were analyzed by using

Richard’s theory.

Melani (2010) in her thesis, “Analysis of symbol in “The Da Vinci Code”

Novel by Dan Brown”. She found there are five explained deepen symbols in discussion, namely Holly Grail, painting “The Last Supper”, Mary Magdalena,

Suniere’s Message Code, and Blood. Every symbol in this novel has each meaning and referent different with the object itself. Descriptive qualitative analysis used to explain kind of symbols that found in this novel. The Holy Grail is described about allowed Mary Magdalena, the painting talk last supper, represents the true story of what who in the painting. Monalisa is considers more detail about the background of the object of the painting. Monalisa picture’s message code is classifies this symbol as action symbol, and blood is study for truth and enlightenment is in the Da Vinci

Code. This research used semiotic approach because this analysis about symbol in the novel. The data were analysed by using Revzina’s theory.

Hikmah (2008) in her thesis, “The Power of Symbols In Jalaluddin Rumi’s

Prosa “Fihi Ma Fihi” (it is what it is)”. She found in Jalaluddin Rumi’s Prosa “Fihi

Ma Fihi” (it is what it is), the writer concludes that there are many kind of symbols.

Several example of these symbol are, scholar, prince, trial word, responsibilities, prayer, helpless, forgotten, ascetic, seal, religion, heart, unbeliever woe, the masters,

the prisoners, the crucible, gold, house, fest, beloved and threw. This thesis is analyzed by Hermeneutics and Semiotic Approach those symbols reflected self unity to Allah for most creator, and also embody “wahda al wujud” unity of existence.

Based on the previous study above, this research has similarity with those researches. In Imran thesis, his research is analysis of symbol and use semiotic approach in novel it also happen in the second researcher and third researcher. They are study about symbols in literary work.

Based on the previous study above, there is differences with the writer has, three researchers analyzed symbol in the novel. In Imran thesis he used Jerry’s theory, in Rosida thesis she used Richard’s theory, in Melani thesis she used

Revzina’s theory and the rest researcher is Hikmah analyzed symbol in phrosa and use hermeneutic and semiotic approach while the writer analyzed symbol in the movie and used Pierce’s theory.

B. Partinent ideas

1. Semiotic Approach

Semiotics is usually defined as a general philosophical theory dealing with the production of signs and symbols as part of code systems which are used to communicate information. The shortest definition is that it is the study of signs. Semiotics includes visual and verbal as well as tactile and olfactory signs (all signs or signals which are accessible to and can be perceived by all our senses) as they form code systems which systematically communicate information or massages in literary every field of human behavior and enterprise.

Semiotics have considerable variation. Semiotics involves the study not only of what we refer to as ‘signs’ in everyday speech, but of anything which ‘stands for’ something else. In a semiotic sense, signs take the form of words, images, sounds, gestures and objects. However, the two primary traditions in contemporary semiotics stem respectively from the Swiss linguist Ferdinand de Saussure (1857–1913) and the

American philosopher Charles Sanders Peirce (pronounced ‘purse’) (1839–1914)

(Chandler 2007:2).

Ferdinand de Saussure (Linguist) calls the science of sign as semiology, unlike

Charles Sanders Peirce (Philosophy) states it as semiotic. Even though they lived in the same period and had different statement, but they did not interfere each other (Rosida, 2007 : 10).

Some researches had different statements about semiotic but they had same idea in it, look at about stubbes opinion:

The term, which was spelled semeotics (greek: semeoitikos, an interpreter of signs), was first used in English in a very precise sense to denote the branch of medical science relating to the interpretation of signs.

2. Definition Concept of Disaster

The word disaster implies a sudden overwhelming and unforeseen event. At the household level, a disaster could result in a major illness, death, a substantial economic or social misfortune. At the community level, it could be a flood, a fire, a collapse of buildings in an earthquake, the disasters of livelihoods, an epidemic or displacement through conflict. As the limiting factor in disaster response is often the coping capacity of those affected, improving their resilience when responding to

disasters is a key approach to lessening the consequence of a disaster (Hopkins

2008:28).

Natural disaster is the occurrence of an extreme hazardous event that impacts on communities causing damage, disruption and casualties, and leaving the affected communities unable to function normally without outside assistance. all natural disasters have the potential to produce common land issues in terms of destruction, displacement, and deaths (UN-HABITAT 2010 : 19).

The writer conclude, destruction is a part of nature disasters. destruction happened start with nature destruction. Millions of people are affected by natural disasters every year, and their impact can be calamitous. From the destruction of buildings to the spread of disease, natural disasters can devastate entire countries overnight. Tsunamis, earthquakes and typhoons do not just wreak havoc on land; they also disrupt people's lives in both densely populated cities and remote villages.

3. Kinds of Disasters

a) Natural disasters

In the minds of many, disasters are divided into those thought of as originating from forces of nature or from the effects of humans. The list of natural disasters include weather phenomena such as tropical storms, extreme heat or extreme cold, winds, floods, earthquakes, landslides and volcanic eruptions. Disasters caused by humans have included transportation accidents, industrial accidents, release of hazardous materials and the collapse of buildings. (Hopkins 2008:28).

Sample image: Tornadoes

b) Natural hazards increased by humans

From the earliest days, disasters were often classified as acts of God or acts of man, a language which persists in the terminology of insurance companies. As society has become more complex, it is evident that people are increasingly responsible, directly or indirectly, for the consequences of events previously ascribed to forces beyond their control. Many disasters arising from natural hazards would not have occurred or would have had a smaller impact on communities had it not been for actions by people:

deforestation for firewood or building materials has resulted in landslides during heavy rainfall in Central and South America; overgrazing of cattle has allowed desertification in the Sahel; uncontrolled housing construction close to beaches increases risks from tsunamis and storms: removal of wetlands has eliminated a

natural mitigating factor for the damage caused by tropical storms; political systems have turned droughts into famine, particularly in Africa (Hopkins 2008:29).

Flood Landslides

c) Disasters caused by humans

Though weather and geologically related disasters are considered to have generated the greatest number of deaths and economic loss, disasters generated by humans are increasing in importance. In former Soviet-bloc countries, industrial systems have left the environment heavily polluted with dangerous substances in many places. Globalization is now carrying industrial production to previously agrarian societies. The risk from the unintended release of hazardous materials is becoming ever more widespread. Potentially hazardous products are now available in communities and populations which do not have adequate regulations governing their use and, in fact, may not even be aware of their presence or health risks. Rapidly increasing transport of people and commodities across continents means that transportation disasters pose increasing threats to millions. Although effective

methods to contain these threats are possible and used in many countries, others see implementing these disaster mitigation tools as contrary to short-term financial interests. Armed conflicts, often called Complex Humanitarian Emergencies (CHEs) are the worst disaster that can befall populations. The deaths among civilians in

Vietnam, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Mozambique and Iraq are counted in hundreds of thousands and, in some cases, in millions. (Hopkins 2008:29).

4. Theory symbols of Pierce

A symbol is a representamen whose representative character consists precisely in its being a rule that will determine its interpretant. all words, picture, written word, a sound, a piece of music, sentences, books, and other conventional signs are symbols

(Buchler: 2013:112).

Santoso in Stira (2012 : 06) according to Pierce in semiotic and philosophy of language, symbol is correlated to its object by an arbitrary and conventional decision, and many symbol the Pierce sence such as flag, emblems, astrological, and chemical

symbols, and also refers to the object that it denotes by virtue of law usually an association of general ideas.

Charles Sanders Peirce formulated his own model of the sign, of ‘semeiotic

[sic] ’ and of the taxonomies of signs. Peirce offered a triadic (three-part) model consisting of:

OBJECT

REPRESENTAMEN INTERPRETANT

Figure 1.5 Peirce’s semiotic triangle

To qualify as a sign, all three elements are essential. The sign is a unity of what is represented (the object), how it is represented (the representamen) and how it is interpreted (the interpretant). The Peircean model is conventionally illustrated as in

Figure 1.5

1. The representamen: the form which the sign takes (not necessarily material,

though usually interpreted as such) called by some theorists the ‘sign vehicle’.

Sign or Representament is something which stands to somebody for something in

some respect or capacity.

2. An interpretant: not an interpreter but rather the sense made of the sign.

Interpretant is a term for the meaning of sign.

3. An object: something beyond the sign to which it refers. that object is which

the sign (represent) usually something else, but in the borderline case of self-

references, representament an object can also be same with entity. Afterward, in

semiotic object is something to know what the name or form of something, and

object is the real thing that can be known what the name or form. In this part

object have important role to find meaning of the signs.

In Peirce’s own words:

“A sign . . . [in the form of a representamen] is something which stands to

somebody for something in some respect or capacity. It addresses somebody,

that is, creates in the mind of that person an equivalent sign, or perhaps a

more developed sign. That sign which it creates I call the interpretant of the

first sign. The sign stands for something, its object. It stands for that object,

not in all respects, but in reference to a sort of idea, which I have sometimes

called the ground of the representamen”. (Chandler 2007:29).

Base on definitions above the researcher concludes that in Pierce theory are representament, object and interpretant correlated each other. Representament is something which stands to somebody for something in some respect or capacity, interpretant is a term for the meaning of sign and object is which the sign (represent)

usually something else, but in the borderline case of self-references, representament an object can also be same with entity. The way of people’s understanding the representament are different based on their own experience.

Example use triagle meaning:

Picture

Semiotic analysis of Charles S. Peirce

a. Representament : Hand gestures pointing at a portal machine from within

a car.

b. Object : Pointing to engine portal Street

c. Interpret : Thinking man who wants submissive and obedient to what is

he commanded, man the desire security officers.

The decision was taken at scene 4, using techniques image capture medium shot, the shooting from the hip or until the center of the head. The scene is set in

jammed state highways. The first scenes a young man stopped in front of portal machine-covered roads while calling security officers who are in a state of the traffic jam on the road toll. Overall, non-verbal signs in the first setting above interpret a man who was pointing a machine portal roads that cannot be open due to the absence of the officer who opened the portal the road. Sign contained in the first scene that hand gesture pointing to the facial expressions are not happy who are in a car. The object, push down the portal engine. The interpretation that man to be submissive and obedient to what is he commanded, the man wants the security officer immediately open portal covered roads in order to avoid the congestion that occurs (Feralina 2013

: 360).

6. Hazard Warning Labels

For the GHS, the assigned pictogram, signal word, and hazard statement are given in that order for each hazard category of the hazard class. Where the hazard class and or categories are covered under the UN recommendations on the Transport of

Dangerous Goods, Model Regulations, the assigned corresponding pictogram is given for each category below the GHS requirements. GHS is a system of classifying the safety of chemicals released by the United Nation.

(United Nations 2011 : 253)

8. Synopsis

Transformers Dark of the Moon in 2011. In 1961, the Ark, a Cybertronian spacecraft carrying an invention capable of ending the war between the benevolent Autobots and the malevolent Decepticons, crash lands on the dark side of Earth's Moon. The crash is detected on Earth by NASA, and President John F.

Kennedy authorizes a mission to put a man on the Moon as a cover for investigating the craft. In 1969, the crew of Apollo 11 lands on the Moon.

In the present, the Autobots assist the United States military in preventing conflicts around the globe. During a mission to Chernobyl to investigate suspected alien technology, Optimus Prime finds a fuel cell from the Ark, discovering that it had survived its journey from Cybertron. The Autobots are attacked by Shockwave, who manages to escape. After learning of the top-secret mission to the Moon, the

Autobots travel there to explore the Ark. They discover a comatose Sentinel Prime–

Optimus' predecessor as leader of the Autobots – and the Pillars he created as a means of establishing a Space Bridgebetween two points to teleport matter. After returning to Earth, Optimus uses the energy of his Matrix of Leadership to revive

Sentinel Prime.

Meanwhile, Sam Witwicky is frustrated that he is unable to work with the

Autobots or find a job. He also becomes envious of the close relationship between his new girlfriend, Carly Spencer, and her boss Dylan Gould. After finding work, Sam is provided information by his eccentric co-worker Jerry Wang about the Ark, before

Jerry is assassinated by the Decepticon Laserbeak. Sam contacts the now- independently wealthy Seymour Simmons, and together they realize that the

Decepticons and their leader, Megatron, are murdering people connected to the

American and Russian space missions to the Ark. They locate two surviving Russian cosmonauts, who reveal satellite photos of hundreds of Pillars being stockpiled on the

Moon. Sam realizes that the Decepticons raided the Ark long before the Autobots' mission and intentionally left Sentinel and five Pillars behind to lure the Autobots into a trap – Sentinel being the key to activating the Pillars and the Decepticons lacking the means to revive him. The Autobots rush to return Sentinel to their base for protection, but Sentinel betrays them and murders the Autobot Ironhide, revealing he had made a deal with Megatron to ensure Cybertron's survival.

Sentinel uses the Pillars to transport hundreds of concealed Decepticons from the Moon to Earth. Carly is captured by Gould, who is revealed to be in the service of the Decepticons. The Autobots are exiled from Earth at the demand of the

Decepticons to avoid war, but as their ship leaves Earth it is destroyed by Megatron's second-in-command, Starscream, seemingly killing the Autobots. The Decepticons, led by Megatron and Sentinel, seize Chicago as their agents place Pillars around the

world. Gould reveals to Carly that the Decepticons plan to transport their homeworld of Cybertron to the Solar System, then to enslave humanity and use Earth's resources to rebuild their world. Sam teams with USAF Chief Robert Epps to go into Chicago to save Carly, but they are nearly killed by Decepticon forces before the Autobots intervene, revealing they concealed themselves during the launch of their ship to convince the Decepticons they were destroyed as well as to prove to the humans that the Decepticons were untrustworthy.

Working together, the Autobots and human soldiers manage to rescue Carly and kill Laserbeak, Starscream, Soundwaveand Shockwave, with Optimus using

Shockwave's arm-cannon to blast the Control Pillar, disabling the Space Bridge. Sam confronts Gould as he reactivates the Control Pillar, and knocks Gould into the Pillar, electrocuting him to death. Bumblebeeand Ratchet arrive and destroy the Control

Pillar, permanently disabling the Bridge and causing the partially transported

Cybertron to implode. Optimus and Sentinel fight while Carly convinces Megatron that he will be replaced as leader of the Decepticons by Sentinel. Sentinel severs

Optimus' right arm, and is about to execute him when Megatron intervenes, incapacitating Sentinel. Megatron slyly proposes a truce, having the desire to become the one in charge again, but Optimus instead attacks Megatron, decapitating and killing him. Sentinel pleads for his life, but Optimus executes him too for betraying his own principles. With the Decepticons defeated, Carly and Sam are reunited and the Autobots accept that, with Cybertron gone for good, Earth is now their home.

CHAPTER III

METHODOLOGY OF RESEARCH

This chapter deals with method of research, source of data, instrument of

the research, procedures of collecting data and technique of data analysis.

A. Research Method

In this research, the writer used Qualitative Descriptive Methods in which

the data are taken in the form of words, phrases, and sentences, and interprets

them descriptively. Bogdan and Biklen in Sugiyono (2011: 21) define

Qualitative Descriptive Method is a method that used to analyze and interpret the

data in the form of words of picture rather that number. The writer used this

method to describe about symbols of the nature disasters in Transformers movie.

B. Source of Research

In this research, the source of the data was the movie “Transformers” by

Ehren Kruger. This movie was published in 2011.

C. Instrument

Note taking is the practice of recording information captured from

another source. By taking notes, the writer records the essence of the

information. This writing process, information is more accessible. This means

doing an outline, writing first draft and citing sources is made easier.

According to Nazir in Rosmini (2012:30) note taking was system for

recording information which required the writer to use card. The information

included the last name, page, line, and related information. The information was

written on each card and also put chapter and where the data found.

D. Technique of Data Collection

The writer applied as follow:

1. The writer watched the movie “Transformers” by Ehren Kruger many times

to understand the whole story.

2. The writer screenshot the picture of the movie “Transformers” by Ehren

Kruger and classify the data related to the topic.

3. The writer interpreted the data based on the related theory.

E. Technique of Data Analysis

In analyzing data, the writer used Pierce’s theory to analyze what are the

symbols of nature disasters especially about symbol nature destruction in the

movie “Transformers” by Ehren Kruger and the writer used Hopkins theory to

describe about nature disasters. In this research, the writer used semiotic

approach.

CHAPTER IV FINDINGS AND DISCUSSION This chapter provided the findings and discussions. In this research, the writer presents a further explanation about the symbols of the nature destruction in transformers movie. In the findings section, the writer would like to present all the datum that had been found in transformers movie.

A. Findings

In this case, the datum were got from the transformers movie the dark of the moon. The writer described about the interpretation of symbols nature destruction based on the representament, object, and interpretant.

Representament is sign. Sign is all of the life, can be seen from eyes and real. The object is the sign refers. Pierce in Winfried Noth (1990:42) states that object is which the sign (represent) usually something else, but in the borderline case of self- references, representament an object can be same with entity also. The interpretant is a term for the meaning of the sign. Pierce defined interpretant as sign “a sign of address” (Pierce in Winfried Noth 1990:43) also. The interpretant is not an interpreter but rather the sense made of the sign. The interpretant is interpreting something seen.

According to Pierce’s theory representament, object, and interpretant is one relation, to find the interpretant must be see the representament and the object.

Sentinel Prime : Only five? We once had hundreds!”

Pillar is the most important part becomes nature of destruction symbol because this pillar will be bridge between earth to dark of the moon and bring enemy go to the earth and than make the damage.

“Sentinel Prime: It is the ability to reshape the universe. Together the pillars form a

Space Bridge. I designed, and I alone, can control it. It defies your

B. Discussion

1. Kinds of Natural Disasters

According Hopkins (2008:29) natural disasters are divided into thought of as originating from forest of nature or from the effects of humans. a. Detectore

The first picture is detector stand in around city and the second picture explains about how the tools function. In the first and second picture, it can be seen the detector in around a city. In the movie explain the dangerous situation in the world. So, they need detectors to protect and save a city from an enemy. The detector is a device to detect Energon which is something dangerous from another planet like alien. Alien in the movie is a robot from another planet.

The detector includes conventional symbol analysis by colors and setting.

According to Arthur Berger as quoted by sobur in setyaningsih thesis (2015: 06), black seen as a cold and negative aspect suggesting passivity, death, danger, ignorance, or evil. The picture describes detector color is black. In the picture, it

happened in town. The town has meaning place where rules are on their best behavior.

we can analyze the picture is a conventional symbol and include nature disasters symbol cause the tool is very important for protect the city from the enemy.

See in previous page the first and second picture include nature disasters symbol because nature destruction symbols is not always accident has happened but tools or device become nature destruction symbol if the symbol determines toward city and humans safety. (Datum 1, 00:14:33) b. Nuclear

The first and second picture see the nuclear symbol. First picture, Nest soldier used a protection from nuclear radiation and the second picture is the area of nuclear.

Those pictures explain about the dangerous area, especially from humans. If someone will come to this area, they must protect thyself and they can’t be any longer stay in the nuclear area.

Nuclear include conventional symbol analysis by colors. According to Arthur

Berger as quoted by sobur in setyaningsih thesis (2015: 06), the red color is seen as vitality, blood, passion, emotion, danger and yellow saw the approach of death.

According to the globally harmonized system of classification and labeling of chemicals, nuclear include hazard warning symbol.

The first and second picture include the nature destruction symbols because according to arthur and book of the globally harmonized system of classification and labeling of chemical nuclear the nuclear is dangerous. Energy is commonly offered as

an alternative to overcome the crisis of energy but blow up of the nuclear reactor will happen serious contamination imperiled people and the environment severely. It is obvious that nuclear energy should be avoided because it really endangers the environment. (Datum 2, 00:16:48) c. An engine ship

The picture shows the object of circle and in place of Middle East area. The second picture is the head of Nest explains about specification from the object that was able to break into atomic fuel. In transformers movie to find it, Autobot and Nest soldier war with Megatron wrest it and make the building in the area demaged because of the incident.

According to the globally harmonized system (GHS) of classification and labeling of chemicals, part of Decepticon ship include flammable because the contents are atomic fuel. everything that is flammable include danger because can destroy and damage.

Part of Decepticon ship includes nature destruction symbols because it threatens the safety and can damage. In transformers movie, this object is a source of energy for the Autobot. (Datum 3 00:17:57) d. White skull

A white skull with black circle seen in Nest area.The first and second picture showing that symbol. The nest is network element supporter transformer. Nest soldier and Autobot cooperation to fight the enemy and help solve the conflicts of humanity and also protect the human from danger.

That includes conventional symbol analysis by color. According to Arthur

Berger as quoted by sobur in setyaningsih thesis, black seen as a cold and negative aspect suggesting passivity, death, ignorance, or evil and skull include hazardous symbols by the globally harmonized system (GHS) of classification and labeling of chemicals. As we know in classification and labeling of chemical, the skull is a symbol of dangerous and include hazardous chemical. This picture becomes symbol of nature destruction because everywhere place uses the symbol that has dangerous meaning. Sometimes the place has tools which is flammable and blows up like in

Nest office. The place has weapon and plane fighter. So, the symbol must be existed in the area.

After seeing the picture and analysis the object by the color and analysis by the classify from the chemical symbol, the white skull with black circle include the symbol of nature destruction and the symbol use in the dangerous area, use for the specifically area that have tools which is easy flammable and blow up. A nest is a secret place not anyone can get it. (Datum 4 00:40:22) e. Pillar

Pillar form like a capsule. The first picture controls pillar that use to control all of the pillar in the world. The second picture is a part of thousands pillar in the world. The first and second picture is processed to put five pillars include control pillar as control other pillar and the next process to open the bridged. The process like teleportation.

The pillar includes conventional symbol analysis by color according to Arthur

Berger as quoted by sobur in setyaningsih thesis, red color in control pillar light seen as a danger and analysis by the setting those picture setting at the town. The town has meant the place where rules are on their best behavior.

First and second picture of the pillar in Transformer movie Dark of the Moon include the symbol of nature destruction because the object becomes bridge and teleportation toward enemy coming to earth and destroyed the planet. The pillar has explanation by conventional symbol include dangerous by analysis setting and color.

(Datum 5 00:49:57)

f. Enemy

First picture enemy comes to earth and the second picture the enemy destroy the town. Make destruction all of the places. Burn buildings and cause black smoke all over the place. The plane enemy shooting and blowing up some place. In addition causing damage toward a lot of people many of them died because of it.

According to Arthur Berger as quoted by sobur in setyaningsih thesis analysis by nature include darkness seen as evil, ignorance, and danger because first and second picture imagines dark sky and destruction almost all of place in the world. So, the enemy includes symbol of the nature destruction as we know destruction always relates to the disaster.

From the first and second picture, the enemy becomes a symbol of nature destruction analysis by nature which includes conventional symbol and according to

the in the transformers movie, the enemy is the symbol of nature destruction. As can be in the picture, the town has suffered severe damage. (Datum 6 00:36:08) g. The Driller

The driller in the first picture emerged from under the ground destroying the streets and the second picture the driller destroying the building. Those picture destruction happened in all of the place and no one spared from damage, even in addition to the building, people's becomes the victim.

In setyaningsih thesis according to Arthur Berger as quoted by sobur, the driller include universal symbol because the universal symbol is the symbol which is rooted in the people’s experience. As we know by the picture destruction in all of the places and by the people experience the first and the second picture has shown about impact destruction by the driller action.

After analyses that picture, the driller becomes the symbol of nature destruction because that action to destruct the city and symbol itself according to the deacon 2011 symbol is almost exclusively applied to spoken utterances, inscription, or other culturally generated meaningful artifacts and action created specifically for representational purposes. (Datum 7 01:48:10) h. The space bridge

The first picture is the started of the space bridge and the second picture is the bridge that is connected to the outer space. All aliens get in to earth through the bridge and to stop it, the control pillar should be destroyed so that the bridge is disconnected and all of the aliens back to where it came from.

According to Arthur Berger as quoted by Sobur in Setyaningsih thesis, the space bridge include conventional symbol analyze by nature darkness seen as evil, ignorance, danger and analyze by weather, time is lightning indicates the spark of life and the powers of fertilization and analyze by globally harmonized system (GHS) of classification and labeling of chemicals book, the space bridge include danger electricity because the space bridge have electricity contains.

The space bridge include the symbol of the nature destruction because the space bridge has electricity contains. No one is able to touch it because people who touch it will feel like electric shock in high voltage and cause of human death. Beside dangerous for the human, the space bridge also damages to the earth because the space bridge pervades power from earth to build the Cybertron planet of alien.

(Datum 8 01:50:01)

2. The meaning of symbol of the nature destruction in transformers movie a. Datum 9

The Datum shows about symbol of the nature destruction. The writer was taken at Datum 1 and Datum 2. The picture set in Chicago, Florida, Indiana,

Moskow, and Washington DC. The picture in Datum 1 is a detectore stand around the city. In the conversation between optimus prime and guard from Nest, optimus say

“in the year since our arrival, our new home, earth, has seen much change, energon detectors guard its cities now.”The second picture in Datum 2 the detector stands in front of international of a health of human services office. In the office is the center that plays a role as monitoring everything is happen in the city. in this picture in

Datum 2 the detectors help detected danger situation will happen specially detect the presence of the enemy. The object in the picture of Datum 17 is a detector. The interpretation that detectors help detect danger situation and become important tools is the human need. b. Datum 10

The Datum shows about symbol of the nature destruction. The picture in

Datum 3 is Nest soldier use clothes for protecting them from nuclear radiation in the area and the picture in Datum 4 shows dangerous area. That area had been nuclear radiation. The first place that is populated by society but after that area had been nuclear radiation. The picture in Datum 3 and 4 shows nuclear symbols that can be seen in around that area. Nuclear becomes nature destruction symbol because nuclear is related with dangerous place or situation. They said:

“Voshkod : I am Voshkod, General Counsel with Ukrainian Department of

Energy. My government will officially deny that we're having this

conversation. At one of our decommissioned facilities, a, uh,

discovery was made, which I fear may be... alien in nature. The

facility's name is... Chernobyl.

Lennox : MrVoshkod. So, uninhabited since '86. I hear it won't be livable

again for another twenty thousand years?

Voshkod : At least. Ukraine was the most fertile land. It's a tragedy. This way.

Lennox : Gear up! We have sixty minutes on the ground. Watch your radiation

levels.MrVoshkod, where's your protective gear?

Lennox : Where is your protective gear?

Voshkod : It would not matter. For me, it's only a matter of time. Through the

school.”

The conversation above is between Voshkod and Lennox, They are talking about nuclear in they conversation as danger expostulation. After nest soldier come in, destruction in the building happens because of war accident between nest soldier and driller. The representement in Datum 3 is about who people stand in front of portal with him weapon and the Datum 4 is about Nest soldier stand in front of old building, the object is yellow triangle beside portal and the Datum 4 the object is yellow triangle in Nest soldier wear and the door after nest soldier come in. The interpretant from the Datum 3 and Datum 4 is yellow triangle is a sign for human that need to be careful stay in the area. c. Datum 11

The Datum shows symbols of the nature destruction. The picture shows in

Datum 5 and 6. The Datum 5 is first nest soldier found an engine part and the Datum

6 is explanation from Mearing about the part of ship. They said:

“NASA Officer: A total of thirty five people knew the real plan at NASA.

NASA Officer: Soviets managed to land unmanned probes. Somehow they must

have... picked up that fuel rod.

Mearing : We believe the Russians deduced that the rod was a fissionable fuel

assembly, believed they had it mastered and tried to harness it at

Chernobyl.”

The conversation between NASA officer and mearing, mearing explain about the part of the ship that the rod was a fissionable fuel assembly. The representament in the picture in Datum 5 the object circle foam and it has cable in around and in the

Datum 6 shows the object has studied and thanmearing explain to all of the people in nest office. The object in Datum 5 and 6 is an engine part and the interpretation the picture shows the part of the ship has analyzed by the expert and Mearing explains the part of ship fissionable fuel. and imagine destruction danger happen if the part of ship blows up. d. Datum 12

In accordance with the findings, the writer can explain the symbols in picture

Datum 7 and Datum 8. The first picture in Datum 7 is the skull with the black circle and the second picture in Datum 8 shows the symbols in Nest office. Skull is a symbol of hazardous and in 7 and 8 picture Nest office shows that symbols. the picture in Datum 8 shows the place that has ships and weapon in it. The picture in

Datum 8 also describes the area is dangerous and not just anyone can enter the place.

In they conversation betweenmearing Nest, Sam, Lenox, and Carly they said:

NEST Announcer: All NEST officials clear the floor. We have 10 minutes until

attempted contact.

“Mearing : We've taken possession of the five devices that were hidden in the ship with Sentinel Prime. They're some kind of prototype Autobot technology. They say Sentinel was the... Einstein of his civilization, so we're gonnakeep these locked up until we know what we're dealing with. Right now, no one gets access. No one.

Sam : This Wang guy recognized me. He told me to warn you, he was talking about the dark side of the moon, and then they killed him. Lennox : Wait a minute. He mentioned the moon?
