materials as the topic to teach English. There are interesting topics to teach reading. The topics are about respect. In this study, the writer would like to
use the novel to teach reading. The writer chose this novel to teach intensive reading rather than extensive reading because the writer only used some

reading the passage. The second stage is while-reading activity. In this stage, the students read and comprehend the text. And the last activity is
post-reading activity. The students answer the questions which are given by the teacher to know their comprehension about the information underlying
the passage. The procedures to teach reading are listed below:
1. The teacher gives some pre-reading questions. 2. The teacher gives the text to the students.
