Domestic Violence Revealed through Elizabeth’s Conflicts in Nicholas Sparks’ The Lucky One. Yogyakarta: Department of English Letters, Faculty of Letters, Sanata Dharma University. This study discusses Nicholas Sparks’ novel The Lucky One. This novel shows the relationship between Elizabeth and her ex-husband, Keith Clayton where the ex-husband always interrupts Elizabeth’s romantic life. The writer chooses to analyze the domestic violence revealed through the conflicts that occur between Elizabet and Keith. There are two problems analyzed in this study: (1) What are the conflicts experienced by Elizabeth? (2) How do the conflicts reveal the issue of domestic violence? This study uses Roberts and Jacobs, Koesnosoebroto, McCue, de Beavoir and Bressler’s theories. In this study the writer applies the library research method and uses the feminism approach. The approach is choosen because this study examines woman’s status in the society. Based on the analysis, there are two main points which can be drawn from this study. The first point is the conflicts experienced by Elizabeth are mostly the external conflicts and the other conflicts are the internal conflicts. The external conflicts happen between Elizabeth and Keith, the conflicts are about the custody of their son and also about Keith who always interrupting Elizabeth’s romance with other man. The internal conflicts happen between Elizabeth and herself. In the conflicts she faces two choices which have the importance with their own consequences. She have to choose between following her thought of keeping Ben on the weekend or following Keith’s custody eventhough her son does not like to spend the weekend with his father. The second conclusion is the conflicts experienced by Elizabeth are categorized into domestic violence because of the relationship between the two people and in the conflicts she was being victimized physically, emotionally, psychologically, and sexually by Keith’s behavior. In conclusion the conflicts of Elizabeth are related to Keith and those conflicts have influenced Elizabeth’s life because she is victimized with Keith’s behavior and it is categorized as domestic violence. Furthermore from the violence experienced, Elizabeth’s position as a woman is considered under the male domination. xi PLAGIATPLAGIAT MERUPAKAN MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TIDAK TERPUJI TERPUJI ABSTRAK SIMON (2013).

The American novelist known for his best-selling tales of romance and heartbreak. Sparks grew up mainly in north-central California, where his family moved when he was eight.

  • CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION A. Background of the Study Film Is A
    1 CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION A. Background of the Study Film is a visual form of dominant mass communication because they are able to reach many social segments, as well as having the potential to affect the audience. This is because the contents of the message brought by the film can influence and shape society based on a story that is brought behind the film and not vice-versa. Being the content of the film is a record of reality that grows and develops in the community and then project it to go back in the direction the big screen. The film as a representation of reality society where, the film is a portrait of the reality of a society in which the film was made and brought back in shaping reality of a society based on the codes, conventions, and the ideology of culture wide. ( Irawanto, 1999: 14). Nowadays, there are so many books adapted to movie, but certainly they have changed. The film director intentionally changed the movie because he or she had different point of view. Film is a more sensory experience than reading, beside verbal language, there is also color, movement, and sound. Yet film is also limited: for one thing, there are no time constraints on a novel, while a film must generally compress events into two hours or so. For another, the meaning of a novel is controlled by only one person (the author) while the meaning we get from a film is the result of a collaborative effort by a large number of people.

His father, Patrick Michael (Mike), was a graduate student for much of Nicholas’ early life, so the family lived in a num- ber of college towns before settling in Fair Oaks, California, when Nicholas was eight. Nicholas’ mother, Jill EmmaMarie (Jill), worked as both a homemaker and optometrist’s assistant. All three Sparks chil- dren, including Nicholas’ older brother, Micah, and younger sister, Danielle, were born within a three-year period, and the closeness in age created a strong bond between them.

  • Nicholas Sparks
    THE NOTEBOOK Nicholas Sparks CHAPTER ONE - MIRACLES WHO AM I? And how, I wonder, will this story end? The sun has come up and I am sitting by a window that is foggy with the breath of a life gone by. I’m a sight this morning: two shirts, heavy pants, a scarf wrapped twice around my neck and tucked into a thick sweater knitted by my daughter thirty birthdays ago. The thermostat in my room is set as high as it will go, and a smaller space heater sits directly behind me. II clicks and groans and spews hot air like a fairy-tale dragon, and still my body shivers with a cold that will never go away, a cold that has been eighty years in the making. Eighty years. I wonder if this is how it is for everyone my age. My life? It isn’t easy to explain. It has not been the rip-roaring spectacular I fancied it would be, but neither have I burrowed around with the gophers. I suppose it has most resembled a blue-chip stock: fairly stable, more ups than downs, and gradually trending upwards over time. I’ve learned that not everyone can say this about his life. But do not be misled. I am nothing special, of this I am sure. I am a common man with common thoughts, and I’ve led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten, but I’ve loved another with all my heart and soul, and to me this has always been enough.

    HO CERCATO IL TUO NOME Titolo Originale: The Lucky one Di Scott Hicks; USA, 2012; 101. Sceneggiatura: Will Fetters da un romanzo di Nicholas Sparks Produzione: da Dinovi Pictures/ Langley Park Pictures. Interpreti: Zac Efron, Raylor Shilling, Blythe Danner Logan Thybault è un marine in missione in Iraq. Un giorno vede per terra la foto di una ragazza e va a raccoglierla. Quel semplice gesto gli salva la vita e il viso delle misteriosa ragazza nei mesi seguenti lo aiuta a sopravvivere. Tornato a casa, ancora turbato dalla guerra, decide di andare a cercarla. La trova in un paesino della Louisiana: si chiama Beth, ha un figlio piccolo, Ben, e un ex marito che non la lascia in pace. Per un quiproquo crede che Logan sia lì per un posto di lavoro nel suo canile e lui non ha il coraggio di dirle subito la verità, ma resta sul posto e cerca di rendere la sua vita migliore in ogni modo… Valori e Disvalori Storia semplice e di buoni sentimenti (qui pure al cattivo viene offerta una via di redenzione) che mostra una sua sincerità di fondo Pubblico Adolescenti: Un paio di scene sensuali e di nudo parziale Giudizio Tecnico: Le storie targate Nicholas Sparks sono precise (o meno caritatevolmente, prevedibili) come un orologio svizzero. Efron non è probabilmente un grande attore, ma qui fa il suo e i suoi occhioni azzurri spalancati lo rendono però almeno un credibile e aitante angelo custode. Le storie targate Nicholas Sparks sono precise (o meno caritatevolmente, prevedibili) come un orologio svizzero, e affidabili come quelle torte pronte che è impossibile sbagliare perché tutti gli ingredienti sono già perfettamente calcolati: un protagonista maschile di bell’aspetto e così di buon cuore da rasentare l’incredibilità (e che per soprammercato spesso restaura case in rovina), una protagonista femminile dalla situazione familiare e sentimentale complicata, una cittadina sufficientemente piccola perché la gente possa parlare di loro, qualche parente più attempato e saggio, un antagonista più o meno bastardo.

  • DEAR JOHN Nicholas Sparks
    DEAR JOHN Nicholas Sparks For Micah and Christine Acknowledgments This novel was both a joy and a challenge to write; a joy because it’s my hope that the characters reflect the honor and integrity of those who serve in the military, and a challenge because . well, to be completely honest, I find that every novel I write is challenging. There are those people, however, who make the challenge that much easier, and without further ado, I’d like to thank them. To Cat, my wife and the woman I love with all my heart. Thanks for your patience, babe. To Miles, Ryan, Landon, Lexie, and Savannah, my children. Thanks for your endless enthusiasm, kids. To Theresa Park, my agent. Thanks for everything. To Jamie Raab, my editor. Thanks for your kindness and wisdom. To David Young, the new CEO of Hachette Book Group USA, Maureen Egen, Jennifer Romanello, Harvey-Jane Kowal, Shannon O’Keefe, Sharon Krassney, Abby Koons, Denise DiNovi, Edna Farley, Howie Sanders, David Park, Flag, Scott Schwimer, Lynn Harris, Mark Johnson . I’m thankful for your friendship. To my fellow coaches and athletes on the New Bern High track team (which won both the indoor and outdoor North Carolina State Championships): Dave Simpson, Philemon Gray, Karjuan Williams, Darryl Reynolds, Anthony Hendrix, Eddie Armstrong, Andrew Hendrix, Mike Weir, Dan Castelow, Marques Moore, Raishad Dobie, Darryl Barnes, Jayr Whitfield, Kelvin Hardesty, Julian Carter, and Brett Whitney . what a season, guys! Prologue Lenoir, 2006 What does it mean to truly love another? There was a time in my life when I thought I knew the answer: It meant that I’d care for Savannah more deeply than I cared for myself and that we’d spend the rest of our lives together.
