vii UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA 1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 The Background of the Study

Literature is a kind of art usually written in offer pleasure and illumination. Literature refers to compositions that tell us stories, dramatize situations, express emotions, and analyze advocate ideas. Welles & Warren (1971:3) say, Literature is the mirror of human life that portrays human feeling, thought, imagination and perception which can be viewed based on personal judgment.” Literature constituted the imaginative act from the human’s imagination and interpreting life-experiences.

Literature can be divided into three genres, such as prose fiction, poetry and drama. In the sense of literary, prose also called fiction, narrative text, or narrative discourse. Fiction is a narrative work that tells something that is imaginary, something that does not exist and happen in the real world. A work of imaginary, fiction directs the various problems of humanity, life and living. Fiction tells the various problems of human life in the interaction with the environment and others.

Fiction is the result of dialogue, contemplation, and reactions to the environment and the life of the author.

UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA Among the genres of literature, novel is one of the prose fictions. Watson

(1979:158) says “Novel is a fictional prose narrative of light, usually with a claim to describe the real.” Novel is a picture of real life and manners of the time in which it was written. The novel has the intrinsic and extrinsic elements. The intrinsic elements are truly seen from the novel. There are five main intrinsic elements, they are: theme, plot, character, setting, and point of view

Novel is extended fictional prose narrative dealing with human characters and actions of a period time. According to Reeve (1785:26) novel is a picture of real and manners and of the time in which it was written. Novel has complicated intrigue that presents the changing of human character in a period of time, complex social situation, other action happened. Commonly, novels set prevailing values of society against protagonist or antagonist character who feel uncomfortable with these values. The novelist is concerned to present his view about the society. Novels are often about the relationship between individuals and the society in which they live. A story of the novel often tells about how the character explained in his or her social life, and it relates with where the story takes place.

UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA Novel consists of theme, plot, setting, point of view, character, etc. If a novel has all of those elements, there must be conflicts. All of those plot and character interconnected to create conflicts that build the story itself. Conflict, as commonly known, is just a simple word. Since this research discusses about conflict, as commonly known, it seems to be natural for human cannot escape from the conflict it self. It happens so since man cannot fulfill all he wishes completely. Where the choices fail to satisfy the complete desire, the result will be conflict. So, conflict is a matter of choices which results sense of disappointment. Marcus (2000:366) defines that conflict is incompatibility of ideas, beliefs, roles, needs, desires, values, and so on. While Sanderson (1991:505) defines conflict as an opposition of interest between and among various individuals and social groups, which may or may not be overtly observable, and which may or may not break out into open dispute or physical violence.

Marcus (2000:336) defines that conflict is incompatibility of ideas, beliefs, roles, needs, desires, values, and so on. While Sanderson (1991:505) defines conflict as an opposition of interest between and among various individuals and social groups, which may or may not be overtly observable, and which may or may not break out into open dispute or physical violence.

UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA Abrams (1981:20) stated that characters are the persons in a narrative of dramatic work of art such as novel, play, or film. Who are interpreted by reader as being enclosed with moral and dispositional qualities that are expressed in what they say – the dialogue – and what they do – the action. The gerunds in a character’s temperament and moral nature for his speech and action constitute his motivations. Based on the explanation, the characters expression through the attitude and every dialogue has a moral value. Morality of the characters can be positive or negative side. Through the character, the reader could see the great moral value in the novel. It can be concluded characters and morality is related.

The writer is interested in analyzing the scandal used in the novel because it can show the sequence of conflict in the novel. The story is about scandal leading to break the love between Quentin Jacobsen has spent a lifetime loving the magnificently adventurous Margo Roth Spiegel man from afar. Paper Towns is the third novel written by John Green that having interested and good story. The novel explores coming of age and search of the protagonist, Quentin Jacobsen, for Margo

2. REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA 2.1 Novel

There are three mayor genres of literature of poetry, prose and drama. In which each genre has its own characteristic. The word “novel” comes from the

Italian, Novella, which means the new staff that small. The novel was originally developed in the region from other forms or narrative nonfiction, such as letters, biographies, and history. But with a shift in society and development time, the novel is not only based on data nonfiction, but also author of novel can change according to the desired imagination.

Taylor (1981:62) says that novel is a prose of work of quit some length and complexity which attempts to reflect and express something of the quality or value of human experience or conduct. Watson (1979:4) also says that a novel is a way learning about how things were or are-cognitive instrument; and those who district stories as evidence should consider how often in conversation we use them to make a points or answer questions. It means novel has many function to inform or make a points or in some subjects of district stories.

UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA Novel can portray character and actions which represent of real life, dealing with human life, passion or ambition, desire, joy, sadness, feeling, thought, egoism and many related to human life.

In analyzing a novel, one should apply a series of steps in order to get better understanding about the novel, about the theme, plot, character and setting.

All these elements built a qualified completeness of literary value. One of the elements is character. People in a novel are related to characters; there are members of society, and the author’s distinctive view of how people are related to society and reflected in the presentation of every character.

A novel can be analyzed from several of point of view. It can be analyzed from the moral, social, and religious points of view. In this case, the writer is interested in discussing about the conflict that is dominant in this novel, which it will relate to moral and social life

UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA 2.2 Themes

Theme is what the author is trying to tell the reader. For example, the beliefs in the ultimate good in people or those things are not always what they seem.

This is often referred to as the "moral of the story." Some fiction contains advanced themes like morality, or the value of life, whereas other stories have no theme, or a very shallow one. Culler (1977:59) says that theme is something which becomes the authors thought. It means explain about view of life or the author’s image and how they consider the case. A novel has message and theme from the author to the readers.

To understand the theme requires a lot of guesswork by asking what a particular story is about, a question which usually leads to a great deal of speculation.

The whole process should not course be a matter of hit or miss, unless we assume as at time we might that the author was confused by the creation.

It is important not to confuse a theme of a literary work with its subject.

Subject is a topic which acts as a foundation for a literary work while a theme is an opinion expressed on the subject.

UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA For example, a writer may choose a subject of war for his story and the theme of a story may be writer’s personal opinion that war is a curse for humanity.

Usually, it is up to the readers to explore a theme of a literary work by analyzing characters, plot and other literary devices.

A writer presents themes in a literary work through several ways. A writer may express a theme through the feelings of his main character about the subject he has chosen to write about. Similarly, themes are presented through thoughts and conversations of different characters. Moreover, the experiences of the main character in the course of a literary work give us an idea about its theme. Finally, the actions and events taking place in a narrative are consequential in determining its theme.

Love and friendship are frequently occurring themes in literature. They generate emotional twists and turns in a narrative and can lead to a variety of endings: happy, sad or bittersweet.

Theme is an element of a story that binds together various other essential elements of a narrative. It is a truth that exhibits universality and stands true for people of all cultures.

UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA Theme gives readers better understanding of the main character’s conflicts, experiences, discoveries and emotions as they are derived from them. Through themes, a writer tries to give his readers an insight into how the world works or how he or she views human life.

2.3 Character

Character is very important element in literary works such as novel, drama or even poems. The character can be human, or even animal. In a novel, the character usually dominated by human as the character, while the character in a novel has his/her own personality equal to human. The personality of the character will lead the character to act such emotional, behavioral, and all the logical things that deals with the problems which be faced by the character.

Therefore, the character of the novel mostly has a value of a human in real life. Roberts and Jacobs (1993:20) state, “Characters are the person present in dramatics of narrative work, who are interpreted by reader as being endowed with the moral and dispositional qualities that are expressed in what they say in the dialogue and what they do in action.

UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA In a novel, the character can be defined as a verbal representative of human being. Through their action, speech, description, and commentary, the authors portrayed characters who are worth caring about rooting for, an even loving, although there are also characters to be laughed, dislike or even hated, to quote Roberts (1993:131).

There can be simplified that the character in a novel is a description and a representation of a person qualities. It can be shown by the creation of the characters in a novel from their action, gesture, speech, and behavior. These term can be used by the readers to identify the characters in a novel, because the character in a novel has equal qualities as a person in real life. The attempt of the author describes the characters in a narrative work known as a characterization.

Burroway (2003:98) says, “Character as conflict, Rich characterization can be effectively (and quite consciously) achieved by producing a conflict between methods of presentation.

UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA A character can be directly revealed to us through appearance, speech, action, and thought. If you set one of these methods at odds with the others, then dramatic tension will be produced.” A character in a fiction may realize in a number of way. Characters have been constructed to make out an action. They words that they say and the comment that made by the creator depend on how they are presented.

2.4 Conflict

Conflict is one of social process which happened in our life which involves some of people or group of people which challenge each other which has inviolacy impact. Actually conflict comes from cooperation and competition. If competition appears in the middle of our life, maybe we can not find conflict.

Conflict is must happened in our life. Conflict as a concept can help to explain many aspects of social life such as social disagreement, conflicts of interests and fights between individuals, groups or organizations. It is common that everyone will experience conflict in his life since conflict is a natural part of human life.

UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA Conflict is not always has negative impact. With the conflict, we can get the best solution in every problem that happened in our life. Sociologically, cooperation and competition do not always work together. When cooperation and competition do not run well, the tendency of conflict happens is greater. Conflict is disappointed situation when the desired wants do not come true. Thus, conflict may have positive and negative aspect. It is positive if the conflict has been resolved in mutual way. And it will be negative it the conflict brings chaotic situation or even disaster.

Conflict is a necessary element of fictional literature. It is defined as the problem in any piece of literature and it is often classified according to the nature of the protagonist or antagonist. Conflict is actual or perceived opposition of needs, values and interests. Taylor (1981:7) says, “Conflicting judgement or values can also be brought to bear on the same character or event, and inapproprite (contrasting) settings or style employed. In this several ways dynamic tension are created.”

Roberts and Jacobs (1993: 1694) say, “Conflict is a struggle between opposing forces or the opposition between large groups of people, or between protagonist and larger forces such as natural objects, ideas, modes or behavior, public opinion”.

UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA Conflict is usually reflected or accompanied by the external and internal action.

Conflict often forces characters to make a decision, to act or not to act, to behave according to a personal moral code or an external moral code, to compromise or to refuse, to grow and change or to remain more less or less the same. The point at which characters make this choice is usually the climat moment of the story. The effects or implications of this choice usually represent the conclusion.

2.5 Setting

Roberts and Jacobs (1995:230) say that setting is the natural, manufactured, political, cultural, and temporal environment, including everything that characters know and own. Characters may be either helped or hurt by their surroundings, and they may fight about possession and goals. Further, as characters speak with each other, they reveal the degree to which they share the customs and ideas of their times.

Setting in literary work is important because it may stir the reader’s imagination as well as reveal the significance of the action. The element of setting can be differentiated into three principle element: setting of places, setting of time, and setting of society. Although each of these elements offer situations but actually they are close influence each other.

UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA In works of narrative especially fictional, the literary element setting includes the historical moment in time and geographic location in which a story takes place, and helps initiate the main backdrop and mood for a story. Setting has been referred to as story world or milieu to include a context (especially society) beyond the immediate surroundings of the story. Elements of setting may include culture, historical period, geography, and hour. Along with the plot, character, theme, and style, setting is considered one of the fundamental components of fiction.

Setting is a critical component for assisting the story, as in man vs. nature or man vs. society stories. In some stories the setting becomes a character itself. The term "setting" is often used to refer to the social milieu in which the events of a novel occur. Novelist and novel-writing instructor Donna Levin has described how this social milieu shapes the characters’ values. For young readers in the US, the setting is often established as the "setting". As children advance, the elements of the story setting are expanded to include the passage of time which might be static in some stories or dynamic in others (e.g. changing seasons, day-and-night, etc.). The passage of time as an element of the setting helps direct the child's attention to recognize setting elements in more complex stories. Setting is another way of identifying where a story takes place.

UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA 2.6 Plot

Plot is what the character(s) did, said, and thought. It is the Action Proper given unity by the Enveloping Action, the Universal Action, and the Archetypal

Action. As Aristotle said, what gives a story unity is not as the masses believe that it is about one person but that it is about one action. Plot, or storyline, is often listed as one of the fundamental elements of fiction. It is the rendering and ordering of the events and actions of a story. On a micro level, plot consists of action and reaction, also referred to as stimulus and response. On a macro level, plot has a beginning, middle, and an ending. Plot is often depicted as an arc with a zigzag line to represent the rise and fall of action. Plot also has a mid-level structure: scene and summary.

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 or narrative order, however, is only the first step toward the more important consideration. The plot, or the controls governing the development of the actions.

UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA 3. THE ANALYSIS

3.1 Reason Margo & Jase separate

Margo Roth Spiegelman is a very insecure person in her secret life. Nobody knew who Margo really was behind that chestnut hair, blue eyes and her dark red nail polish. She was very popular which was good, but inside she didn’t enjoy being friends with the popular group.

She is a spunky girl bad girl. A girl who lives on the edge, but she is nowhere near the mystery people suspect her to be. She is just a normal girl who, like everyone else, is caught up in a world of paper towns and paper people.

Margo always loved mysteries. And in everything that came afterward.

I could never stop thinking that may be she loved mysteries so much that she became one.

(Jhon Green, 2015:8).

Margo becomes something of a legend. She is presence at Winter Park High school , known for her lengthy list of exciting and unbelievable adventures. Despite her seemingly happy and interesting life, Margo tends escape her home to frequent a minimal and detail her future plans of running away.

One night, Quentin goes home with his usual routine. Then, when he is about to sleep, he sees Margo in front of his window, just like when they were nine.

UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA Quentin open the door and asks why she is there but all she say is that needs a ride with his car.

Margo takes out all the saving and asks Quentin to go to Wal-Mart to buy some “stuff”, which are thirteen pounds of catfish, Veet, the fat-daddy-size tub of

Vaseline, a six pack of mountain Dew, a can of blue spray paint, and a dozen tulips on the conveyor belt. She tells him that she has eleven mission to accomplish that school night. Quentin is a little afraid that it might be a felony to follow her doing mysterious stuff, but he believes in her. The first task is to attack the club to her boyfriend, Jase’s, car.

Jason Worthington (Jase) Margo’s boyfriend who secretly dates Becca, and is later discovered by Margo that he is cheating on her. (John Green,

2015:40).

His mentality is similar to Chuck Parson’s where nothing complicated crosses his mind. Also, his mind is filled with thoughts about girls for the most part and partying.

The second mission is to call Becca’s dad who is Margo’s friend and tell her dad that her daughter is having sex with Jason running out of Becca’s basement. The third mission, Jason is so much in hurry that he doesn’t wear his boxers appropriately and little Jason have been taken in the picture.

UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA The fourth mission is to get his clothes in case he tries to sneak back into her house. The fifth mission is to leave fish for Becca in her room.

All these missions are for a revenge because Margo didn’t realize that Jason was cheating on her for six weeks until her friend told her few days ago. When

Quentin and Margo accomplishes until the fifth mission, he is not afraid of anything anymore. He is able to continue the journey and follow Margo. Next, the sixth mission is to leave flowers on Karin’s doorstep with apologetic note. After finishing, the seventh mission is to leave a fish for Mr. Worthington. Then, they continue on the eight mission, which is to leave fish inside lacey’s car.

Margo and Quentin continues to travel in the dawn. They go to Chuck’s house to revenge on Quentin’s old humiliation from dance School. Chuck parson a senior attending same school as Quentin who has bullied and bothered Quentin since freshmen year. They break into his room and put Veet on his right eyebrow. They are entertained by the fact that if he will shave the other side or color in the left side.

After they put Veet, they painted his doorknob with Vaseline so that he wouldn’t be able to open the door when Quentin and Margo are running. After the success of the main mission, they are headed to the Orlando City skyscraper. When they are at the top of the building, they look at Orlando City and discuss how “fake” the city is

Margo relates the city to “Paper Town”.

UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA After took one night revenge with Quentin,. Her parents tell Quentin that she is disappears. And her parent tell Quentin that she is run away.

Margo’s reason for the run away and everything about her personality revealed when

Quentin fin Margo.

Margo disappears to relating herself to paper towns and being a paper girl reveal

Margo’s inner self and her longings, she compares herself to being a paper material to explain the hidden and mysterious side of her and the truth lies within herself that only she knows.

UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA 3.2 The effect after Margo broke

After she has been missing for three days, her parents call a detective. Margo has run away four times before in the past. She is been knowns to leave clues.

After the detective and Margo’s parents went, Quentin and his parents talk about how an irresponsible parents they are, leaving their daughter to find her own life. Later Ben and Radar visit Quentin. While they are at Quentin due to the fact that

Quentin was the last person to see Margo, he is questioner by detective. However, soon after hi conversation with detective, Quentin notice a poster of woody Guthrie taped to the back of the shade.

I happened to glance out my window, and I saw immediately that someone the detective, I guessed lowered the shade in Margo’s room. But I wasn’t seeing a black and white poster, taped to the back of the shade. In the photograph, a man stands, his shoulder slightly slumped, staring ahead. A cigarette dangles out of his mouth. A guitar is slung over his shoulder, and the guitar is painted with the words this machine kills fascist. (Jhon Green, 2015:108)

Quentin thinks it’s one of the clues that Margo leave for him. It’s approved by his friend Radar and Ben.

UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA A few days later, Quentin started a little depressed about prom, because

Quentin hate prom. Quentin thought about the clue and be noticed the clue was mine.

So, he started to unhinge his door. It was a sliver of newspaper the Orlando sentinel, half straight edges and half ripped. In the paper was write “ do sentinel May 6,2. “

The day she’d left. The message was clearly from her because Quentin recognized her handwriting “8328 Bartlesville Avenue.” Then went to the computer and looked up a map of 8328 Bartlesville avenue. It was 34.6 miles away, way the hell out

Colonial Drive almost to the town of Christmas, Florida.

Once you go to paper town, there is no leaving it. (Jhon Green,2015:149)

Theatre friends are freakted out and decide to leave the building.

Eventually, the clues lead Quentin to believe that Margo may be possibly hiding out or buried in one of the many abounded subdivision projects or “pseudo visions” around Orlando. Margo says it as Paper towns.

Quentin searches abounded subdivisions in internet and managed to compile a list of its. Then, he drove out of town on colonial and arriving at one of pseudovision

Grove Point Acres. From close up, he could see that Grove Point Acres was more finished that it initially appeared. He looked to evidence she had been there footprints or something written in the dirt or some memento. But he seemed to be first person on there. No tent. No campfire. No Margo.

UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA Quentin drove drove to the other pseudovision called Holley Meadows. He drove past Holly Meadows three times before he finally found it everything in the area was trees and ranch land. He ended up his searching for today.

He discoverers that Margo left locations in the map by pinning them with pins. The next day, Quentin and his friends head to the minimal to find Margo’s map in the office. However, unlike how Quentin imagined, the points are not as specific as the thought, which make it harder to decipher the locations that Margo was trying to point out. The final exam weeks are coming up, Quentin and his friends are busy studying. However, Ben and Lacey come up with the theory that Margo will show up at graduation to get attention.

However Quentin doesn’t believe that margo needs attention. When the final was over, Quentin cleans his locker while everybody went home. He realized that it is the last time he would be at school because the next day is Quentin’s graduation day.

For his graduation present from his parents, Quentin gets a ford minivan. Before it turns noon, Quentin searches up some location in the omnictionary. While searching the location, Quentin finds out that Agloe, New York was also called “Paper towns”.

UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA SUMMARY

Paper Towns is the story of a boy named Quentin Jacobsen and the adventure he is drawn into by his childhood friend and secret love Margo Roth

Spiegelman. As children, Quentin and Margo discovered a dead man's body; an event that binds them in ways they do not realize. As they grow up however, they grow apart. After this is explained in the prologue, Part I of the book sets up the main narrative by introducing the setting, Jefferson High in Orlando, Florida in the early 2000s and introduces Quentin's good friends, Radar and Ben Starling, his fellow nerds. In contrast, Margo is the most popular girl in school who has an incredible reputation for her wild hijinks. The plot takes off in Chapter 3 when Margo sneaks into Quentin's bedroom and asks him to help her execute an elevenpart plan, which largely involves taking revenge on her ex-boyfriend.

Throughout the night, Quentin is exhilarated and his love for Margo is reenergized.

In Part II of the book, Margo completely disappears and Quentin wonders if he will see her again. However, Margo has left him a series of clues as to her whereabouts. Part II is spent piecing together Margo's clues. Quentin pursues

Margo with the help of his friends, but all the while, high school comes to an end. Quentin follows a string of false leads, which makes him increasingly reflective and leads him to gradually accept that he has made Margo into a magical non-person, a "paper girl" and that he loves someone who may not

UNIVERSITAS SUMATERA UTARA exist. He eventually decides that the only way to ind Margo is to understand who she is. Throughout Part II, Quentin grapples with Margo's use of the phrase

"paper towns" in her clues. Eventually he figures out that a paper town is a false city on a map that cartographers once used to detect copycats. Margo had left for the paper town of Agloe, New York. Part III begins with the night of the graduation when Quentin grabs his friends to leave on an intense, twenty-one hour road trip from Orlando to upstate Agloe. Quentin, Radar, Ben, and Ben's new girlfriend Lacey, must catch Margo the day before she leaves Agloe forever.

When they reach Agloe, they find Margo in an old barn, writing. After fighting furiously about Margo's apparent selfishness for leaving, Ben, Radar, and Lacey storm out. Quentin and Margo learn that they had idealized one another and love each other. However, they both realize with regret that their love was based in falsehood, in being a "paper boy" and a "paper girl." Margo left in order to release everyone from the effects of her false, public personality. Quentin, however, does not give up on Margo. They admit their romantic affections for one another but realize that their values must inevitably lead them to separate futures.
