The Rebellion of Anna Fitzgerald against Her Parents as Portrayed in Jodi Picoult’s My Sister’s Keeper. English Language Education Study Program, Department of Language and Arts Education, Faculty of Teachers Training and Education, Yogyakarta: Sanata Dharma University. This research focuses to analyze Anna’s rebellion towards her parents. In order to achieve the objective of this research, there are two research questions. They are: (1) How is Anna’s character described in the novel? and (2) How does Anna show her rebellious actions to her parents as portrayed in the novel? This research employed document analysis method that is library research to gather the data. There were two sources in this research: primary and secondary sources. My Sister’s Keeper novel is the primary source for this research. Then, books about psychology, adolescence development, literature, and related articles from the internet are the secondary sources for this research. This research also used the psychological approach since it analyzes the human behavior. In addition, theories about character, characterization, adolescence development, personality development, and rebellion are gathered to support the analysis of this research. Based on the analysis, there are two findings to answer the two problem formulation questions. This research finds out that there are three characters of Anna to answer the first question. They are brave, selfless, and rebellious. Next, in the second problem formulation question, Anna shows her rebellious actions by stopping being Kate’s donor and suing her parents. There are three reasons behind this action. They are Anna’s immature behavior, the unjust treatment from her mother, and a desire to get the health emancipation. In this research, the researcher provides two suggestions for future researchers and lecturers. The future researchers later may use this research as the reference to analyze the other characters in this novel such as Jesse or Bryan. Besides, the Book Report lecturers may implement this research as the material to teach in Book Report class. Hence, the researcher has provided a lesson interactive plan and list of questions for the private interview session. Keywords: adolescent development, character, characterization, My Sister’s Keeper, personality development, rebellion, vi PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI ABSTRAK Rahayu, Arum Galih (2017).The Rebellion of Anna Fitzgerald against Her Parents as Portrayed in Jodi Picoult’s My Sister’s Keeper. Program Studi Bahasa Inggris, Jurusan Pendidikan Bahasa dan Seni, Fakultas Keguruan dan Ilmu Pendidikan, Yogyakarta, Universitas Sanata Dharma. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis perilaku memberontak Anna terhadap orang tuanya. Untuk mencapai tujuan tersebut, terdapat dua permasalahan dalam penelitian ini, yaitu: (1) Bagaimana karakter Anna digambarkan di dalam novel? dan (2) Bagaimana Anna menunjukkan sikap memberontaknya terhadap kedua orang tuanya seperti yang digambarkan dalam novel? Penelitian ini menggunakan metode analisis dokumen yaitu studi pustaka untuk mengumpulkan data. Terdapat dua sumber dalam penelitian ini, yakni sumber primer dan sekunder. Novel My Sister’s Keeper adalah sumber primer dalam penelitian ini. Kemudian, buku tentang psikologi, perkembangan remaja, dan sastra serta artikel yang relevan dari internet menjadi sumber sekunder dalam penelitian ini. Penelitian ini juga menggunakan pendekatan psikologis karena penelitian ini menganalisis perilaku manusia. Selain itu, teori tentang karakter, karakterisasi, perkembangan remaja, perkembangan kepribadian, dan pemberontakan digunakan untuk mendukung analisis dalam penelitian ini. Berdasarkan analisis tersebut, ditemukan dua hasil untuk menjawab dua rumusan masalah. Penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa ada tiga karakter Anna untuk menjawab pertanyaan pertama, yaitu berani, tidak egois dan memberontak. Kemudian, hasil untuk pertanyaan kedua adalah Anna menunjukkan sikap memberontaknya dengan berhenti menjadi donor untuk Kate dan memperkarakan kedua orang tuanya. Terdapat tiga alasan dibalik sikap memberontak Anna, yaitu kelakuan kekanak-kanakannya, perlakuan yang tidak adil dari ibunya, dan keinginan untuk mendapatkan emansipasi kesehatan. Di dalam penelitian ini, peneliti memberikan dua saran bagi peneliti selanjutnya dan dosen Book Report. Peneliti selanjutnya dapat menganalisis karakter yang lain yang ada di dalam novel, misalnya Jesse atau Bryan. Di samping itu, dosen Book Report dapat menggunakan novel ini untuk referensi mengajar di mata kuliah Book Report. Oleh sebab itu, penulis telah menyediakan RPP dan pertanyaan panduan untuk sesi wawancara privat. Kata Kunci: adolescent development, character, characterization, My Sister’s Keeper, personality development, rebellion, vii PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First of all, I would like to thank My Lord Jesus Christ for His blessing and grace in my entire life. I realize that I can stand so far because of Him. I could finish this thesis because of His miracle, guidance, and kindness. I am surely nothing without Him.

PICTURES ITALIA Durata: 1h47 Uscita italiana: 4 settembre 2009 La vita di Sara e Brian Fitzgerald e dei loro due figli cambia per sempre quando scoprono che Kate, la piccola di due anni, è affetta da leucemia. L’unica speranza dei genitori è concepire un altro figlio, allo scopo di salvarle la vita. In alcuni questo tipo di ingegneria genetica susciterebbe problemi morali ed etici: nei Fitzgerald, in particolare per Sara, non è una questione di scelta, vuole solo che Kate viva. E arriva Anna. Kate (Sofia Vassilieva) e Anna (Abigail Breslin) condividono un legame più profondo di altre sorelle: anche se Kate è la maggiore, fa affidamento su Anna, perché la sua vita dipende da lei. Fin da piccolissime, le due sorelle subiscono numerose cure mediche e tanti ricoveri ospedalieri. Sara (Cameron Diaz), moglie e madre amorevole che ha abbandonato la carriera di avvocato per occuparsi della figlia, è concentrata solo sullo sforzo di salvare Kate. Il marito Brian (Jason Patrick) la sostiene, ma a volte si sente impotente di fronte alla forza e alla determinazione della moglie.

  • Chapter I Introduction
    CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION A. Background of the Study In this life, struggle can be seen in a society. Struggle means some efforts to reach something. If someone struggles to do something, she or he tries hard to do it, even though other people or thing, may be, make it difficult for her or him. The struggle varies, such as struggle for justice, struggle to get a job, struggle to get happiness, struggle for freedom, struggle for love, struggle to get achievement, and also struggle for life. Many people live to make a life better than before. They must work hard and struggle to get better. Basically, every human being has the same purpose of her or his life. People want to be happy and can live well with other. However in the fact, life in the world will not always go smoothly and evenly, it is inevitable that every person has problems and conflict. One of the most well known humanistic psychologists is Abraham Maslow. His theory is called Hierarchy of Needs. Maslow formulated a theory of human motivation in which the human’s being varying needs are seen as arising in a hierarchical fashion. That is, certain basic needs, such as hunger and thirst, must be satisfied before other needs. Maslow (in Hjelle, 1992: 448) proposed that all human needs are innate and that they are systematically arranged in an ascending hierarchy of priority or prepotency. 1 2 The needs are, in order of their priority: (1) physiological needs; (2) safety and security needs; (3) belongingness and love needs; (4) self-esteem needs; and (5) self-actualization needs, or the needs for personal fulfillment.

In Sterling, New Hampshire, 17-year-old high school student Peter Houghton has endured years of verbal and physical abuse at the hands of classmates. His best friend, Josie Cormier, succumbed to peer pressure and now hangs out with the popular crowd that often instigates the harassment. One fi nal incident of bullying sends Peter over the edge and leads him to commit an act of violence that forever changes the lives of Sterling’s residents. Even those who were not inside the school that morning fi nd their lives in an upheaval, including Alex Cormier. The superior court judge assigned to the Houghton case, Alex—whose daughter, Josie, witnessed the events that unfolded—must decide whether or not to step down. She’s torn between presiding over the biggest case of her career and knowing that doing so will cause an even wider chasm in her relationship with her emotionally fragile daughter. Josie, meanwhile, claims she can’t remember what happened in the last fatal minutes of Peter’s rampage. Or can she? And Peter’s parents, Lacy and Lewis Houghton, ceaselessly examine the past to see what they might have said or done to compel their son to such extremes.

  • My Sister's Keeper
    My Sister’s Keeper Author: Bex Lewis Keywords: Cancer, Families. Bioethics, Suffering, Sacrifice, Choice Film title: My Sister’s Keeper Director: Nick Cassavetes Screenplay: Jeremy Leven Distributor: New Line Cinema Cinema Release Date: 26th June 2009 Certificate: 12A In My Sister’s Keeper Kate Fitzgerald (Sofia Vassilieva) is diagnosed with acute promyelocytic leukemia when she is 2 years old, and the prognosis is not positive. Her parents Sara (Cameron Diaz) and Brian (Jason Patric), and her brother Jesse (Evan Ellingson) are not genetic matches. Sara, at least, will do anything to save Kate, and Dr Wayne (Jeffrey Markle) suggests, off the record, that producing another child in a test-tube would provide a perfectly matched donor. Anna (Abigail Breslin) is the result. The initial expectation is that only the blood from the umbilical cord will be used, but by the time Anna is 11, she’s undergone a number of medical procedures, including bone marrow transplants, and the latest call is for a kidney. The call for a kidney appears to be a step too far for Anna, who hires slick lawyer (success rate 92%!) Campbell Alexander (Alec Baldwin) to help sue her parents for medical emancipation, allowing her the right to decide how her body will be used. Having spent all her life defined as ‘Kate’s sister’, is Anna, like many teenagers, questioning who she is? As Anna says in the film “I just want to live a normal life!” This is much clearer in the book, where she loves (and is brilliant at) ice-hockey, which she’ll have to give up if she gives up her kidney.
