D. Style
pov 3rd person —> The author tells the story of this "stupid kid's voice" in great detail. Not only telling about each incident in detail, but also involving the feeling of the 1st person in the story. The ideas, ideals and perspective of the 1st person are told in a clear and convincing way so that the readers also feel that idealism is true.
pov 1st person —> The author writes that the main character "Arfan" is someone who is optimistic and has a high spirit to pursue the biggest dream he has. He is also described as someone who is introverted. Prefer the bedroom. He did not organize with village youths, join village organizations etc. He usually prefers to be in his room, writing novels and writing poetry. The character "Arfan" is also described and told by the author as someone who never dares to express his feelings to the girls he likes. Even so, the author tells the main character very well, and makes the character "Arfan" have an extraordinary perspective on life.
∆TIP (explain & give reason)
-making suggestions & recommendations
Suggestions:
In the last part of the story "the voice of a stupid child" it is clearly written that Arfan's regret is overly pursuing something. He wants to win the heart of Gita, his idol, to the point of abandoning Mayang, who sincerely loves him. He was also so hard at pursuing his dream of becoming a novelist that he forgot everything. In this case, Arfan's great optimism is not wrong. But my advice, in this case, Arfan's character should be more balanced in pursuing his dreams. Pursuing dreams optimistically but still paying attention to aspects of love as well as aspects of socialization etc. So that all balance. And there is nothing to regret when we get success.
Recommendation:
*My recommendation is that Arfan should receive Mayang's love. If Arfan accepts Mayang's love then there will be no failure of 2 loves at once. After all, Mayang has a very sincere love for Arfan.
*My second recommendation is that the author should not nail the story from the "arfan" point of view only. But it also involves emotions that are quite focused on several other characters. Like Gita and Mayang. So that readers also get a feel from Gita, Mayang etc. Because they feel the feelings faced by the character. Not only know their nature from the description 1st person.
4. Analysis Character depend on Defense Mechanism Theory by Freud.
This novel main character is Afran he is an "Sublimation Consept". Sublimation is similar to displacement, but takes place when we manage to displace our unacceptable emotions into behaviors which are constructive and socially acceptable, rather than destructive activities. Sublimation is one of Anna Freud's original defense mechanisms.
