B. Suggestions
This part contains two sections. The first section is the suggestion for the further study on Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption. The second section
is the suggestion for the teaching learning activity using Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption.
1. Suggestion for the Further Study on Rita Hayworth and Shawshank
Redemption
This study applies psychological approach. This approach is applied in order to analyze how the main character is portrayed in the
novel through the story. I think there are a lot of aspects which can be discussed by the further research. In addition, I have a suggestion for the
further researchers to discuss Red’s role in Andy’s life. In this novella Red has big role in the story and also has very strong character to influence the
main character.
2. Suggestion for Teaching – Learning Activity using Rita Hayworth and
Shawshank Redemption
This part discusses the implementation of Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption as the material in language teaching. I would like
to apply the novella for two kinds of language teaching activities. The first is teaching Reading, and the second is teaching Speaking.
Before we go further, let me present a brief explanation about the role of literature in the language teaching. Literary work is important to
help the students to be creative and imaginative. A person who reads a story should create the situation happen in the story. He is able to imagine
what kind of character, setting, conflicts, and more in the story. Most of people still assume that literary is merely for enjoyment. However,
literature has an important role in the language study. Moreover, literary works can help people to improve their reading ability. Literary works can
stimulate people to have reading habit. According to Povey in Mckay’s Literture in the ESL Classroom, literature could increase all language
skills because literature extents linguists knowledge by giving evidence of extensive and subtle vocabulary usage, complex and exact syntax. 191
Since literature is a kind of reflection of author’s experience, it is able to help learners in their personal development. Rahmanto in his book Metode
dan Pengajaran Sastra says that literature may be able to improve cultural knowledge, to develop thoughts and feeling, and to help the personality
development. 16 – 25 In choosing the material the teachers should concern on the content
of the novel. Mckay says that the selection of the text is the way to be successful in teaching learning process in class. Therefore, before using
the literature as the teaching material, teacher must consider the appropriate selection of the text 193. Moreover, the teacher should
concern on the students’ vocabulary and grammar level in choosing the material. Lado in Language Teaching: A Significant Approach suggests
that teaching literature is useful when the students are in advanced level in
which they are advanced enough in their control of the target language and their understanding of the culture in experience on some what like the
native reader. 141 – 142 Nutall suggests three criteria for selecting literary text. The first is
suitability. This means that the text should be able to stimulate personal involvement of the students. Second is exploitability. It means that the text
should facilitate learning the language. The last criterion is readability. It means that the text suits with the level of difficulty for the students. 25 –
32 A novella can be used as a reading source. In Brumfit’s Language
and Teaching from Practice to Principal it is say that literature has rich and widely appealing source of material for reading 105. According to
Pulston and Bruder, in intensive reading the students’ attention is focused through instruction on the linguistic features which enable him or her to
decode the message 162. Moreover, they also say that intensive reading deals with the study of language features, syntactical and lexical, which
the readers draw on in order to decode the message 163. The intensive reading is concerned with related skills, such as developing strategies of
expectation and guessing meaning from context as well as with using dictionaries.
Intensive reading can be taught using the comprehension reading method. According to Rivers in her book Speaking in Many Tongues.
Essays in Foregn Language Teaching, the emphasis is on teaching reading
for the meanings of words, concepts, reasoning with the information gained by reading. 5 She also says that comprehensive reading in
intended for students in order to stand the content of the reading text in translating, interpreting and extrapolating. 6 The Rita Hayworth and
Shawshank Redemption can be used as the comprehensive reading material. Teacher selects a passage from the novella and provides
comprehensive question for the students for this reading activity. For teaching Speaking, the teacher should prepare a text which is
taken from the novella. The text could be the summary of a chapter or some chapters. The teacher distributes the text material and asks the
students to read it for some minutes. After that, the students are asked to make a group of three and then discuss the content of the text. The teacher
decides the pro and the contra groups. The other groups which do not belong to those groups become the supporters or the judgers. The pro and
the contra groups should prepare their opinion and reasons. The teacher gives time for students to discuss the topic. After the time is up, the
teacher asks the pro group to give their opinion first. The second chance is given to the contra group. Next, both groups have to defend each of their
opinions in front of the class.

APPENDIX 1 BIBLIOGRAPHY OF STEPHEN KING
Stephen Edwin King was born in Portland, Maine in 1947, the second son of Donald and Nellie Ruth Pillsbury King. After his parents separated – when
Stephen was a toddler – he and his older brother, David, were raised by his mother. Parts of his childhood were spent in Fort Wayne, Indiana, where his
fathers family was at the time, and in Stratford, Connecticut. When Stephen was eleven, his mother brought her children back to Durham, Maine, for good. Her
parents, Guy and Nellie Pillsbury, had become incapacitated with old age, and Ruth King was persuaded by her sisters to take over the physical care of the
elderly couple. Other family members provided a small house in Durham and financial support. After Stephens grandparents passed away, Mrs. King found
work in the kitchens of Pineland, a nearby residential facility for the mentally challenged.
Stephen attended the grammar school in Durham and then Lisbon Falls High School, graduating in 1966. From his sophomore year at the University of
Maine at Orono, he wrote a weekly column for the school newspaper, THE MAINE CAMPUS. He was also active in student politics, serving as a member of
the Student Senate. He came to support the anti-war movement on the Orono campus, arriving at his stance from a conservative view that the war in Vietnam
was unconstitutional. He graduated from the University of Maine at Orono in 1970, with a B.A. in English and qualified to teach on the high school level. A
draft board examination immediately found him 4-F on grounds of high blood pressure, limited vision, flat feet, and punctured eardrums.
He and Tabitha Spruce married in January of 1971. He met Tabitha in the stacks of the Fogler Library at the University of Maine at Orono, where they both
worked as students. As Stephen was unable to find placement as a teacher immediately, the Kings lived on his earnings as a laborer at an industrial laundry,
and her student loan and savings, with an occasional boost from a short story sale to mens magazines.
Stephen made his first professional short story sale The Glass Floor to Startling Mystery Stories in 1967. Throughout the early years of his marriage, he
continued to sell stories to mens magazines. Many of these were later gathered into the Night Shift collection or appeared in other anthologies. In the fall of 1971,
Stephen began teaching high school English classes at Hampden Academy, the public high school in Hampden, Maine. Writing in the evenings and on the
weekends, he continued to produce short stories and to work on novels. In the spring of 1973, Doubleday Co. accepted the novel Carrie for publication. On
Mothers Day of that year, Stephen learned from his new editor at Doubleday, Bill Thompson, that a major paperback sale would provide him with the means to
leave teaching and write full-time. At the end of the summer of 1973, the Kings moved their growing family to southern Maine because of Stephens mothers
failing health. Renting a summer home on Sebago Lake in North Windham for the winter, Stephen wrote his next-published novel, originally titled Second Coming
and then Jerusalems Lot, before it became Salems Lot, in a small room in the garage. During this period, Stephens mother died of cancer, at the age of 59.
Carrie was published in the spring of 1974. That same fall, the Kings left Maine for Boulder, Colorado. They lived there for a little less than a year, during
which Stephen wrote The Shining, set in Colorado. Returning to Maine in the summer of 1975, the Kings purchased a home in the Lakes Region of western
Maine. At that house, Stephen finished writing The Stand, much of which also is set in Boulder. The Dead Zone was also written in Bridgton. In 1977, the Kings
spent three months of a projected year- long stay in England, cut the sojourn short and returned home in mid-December, purchasing a new home in Center Lovell,
Maine. After living there one summer, the Kings moved north to Orrington, near Bangor, so that Stephen could teach creative writing at the University of Maine at
Orono. The Kings returned to Center Lovell in the spring of 1979. In 1980, the Kings purchased a second home in Bangor, retaining the Center Lovell house as a
summer home.
Because their children have become adults, Stephen and Tabitha now spend winters in Florida and the remainder of the year at their Bangor and Center
Lovell homes. The Kings have three children: Naomi Rachel, Joe Hill and Owen Phillip, and three grandchildren. Stephen is of Scots-Irish ancestry, stands 64
and weighs about 200 pounds. He is blue-eyed, fair-skinned, and has thick, black hair, with a frost of white most noticeable in his beard, which he sometimes wears
between the end of the World Series and the opening of baseball spring training in Florida. Occasionally he wears a moustache in other seasons. He has worn glasses
since he was a child. He has put some of his college dramatic society experience to use doing cameos in several of the film adaptations of his works as well as a bit
part in a George Romero picture, Knightriders. Joe Hill King also appeared in Creepshow, which was released in 1982. Stephen made his directorial debut, as
well as writing the screenplay, for the movie Maximum Overdrive an adaptation
of his short story Trucks in 1985. Stephen and Tabitha provide scholarships for local high school students and contribute to many other local and national
charities. Stephen is the 2003 recipient of “The National Book Foundation Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters.”

APPENDIX 3 PICTURES OF STEPHEN KING
APPENDIX 4 Summary of Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption
The events in the story are told in voice-over
by Ellis Red Redding Morgan
Freeman , and span from 1947 to 1966.
Having been wrongly convicted of murdering both his wife and her lover, Andy Dufresne -- a straight-laced and successful but emotionally reserved banker
-- is given two life sentences, and sent to the notoriously harsh Shawshank Prison. During his first night, the barbaric treatment by prison guards, most notably the
chief guard Byron Hadley, leads to the death of a fellow new inmate. About a month later, Dufresne becomes acquainted with Ellis Redding, also known as
Red, and his friends. A friendship begins after Red, the man who knows how to get things, procures a
rock hammer for Dufresne, an object he wishes to own in
order to pursue a hobby in rock collecting Over the first few years of his imprisonment, Dufresne works in the prison
laundry service, and is dogged by threats and harassment, and instances of rape by a group of sadists known as the Sisters. Andys former life as a banker and his
knowledge of accounting and income taxes come to the attention of Hadley during an outdoor work detail, and after assisting the chief guard with an inheritance
sum, Andy is moved to work with Brooks Hatlen in the library, where he shortly sets up a make-shift office to deal with finance related queries brought to him by
various guards. His practice becomes so popular that even opposing guard teams in an inter-prison baseball match bring work to him. While working within the
library, Dufresne begins to canvass support for improving the library at a relentless pace. When Andy is brutally beaten again, the prison guards commit
vigilante punishment against the offender, and it becomes clear that they are now protecting Dufresne from the mistreatment. When the head man of his attackers is
permanently hospitalized, Andys victimisation comes to a close. Warden Samuel Norton soon capitalises on Dufresnes ability and deduces
a program to put prison inmates to work for local contracts in construction, road-
building, and other labour intensive projects. The wardens motive, however, is to profit from corruption in the system. Dufresne is quietly employed to hide the
embezzled funds for Norton, and Dufresne does this by creating an alternate fraudulent identity through which all the paperwork is completed. In the same
year, the prison library is extended and Dufresne begins educating inmates to obtain their high school diplomas. A young prisoner named Tommy enters
Shawshank in 1965
and corroborates Andys tale of innocence. Fearing the loss of the lucrative criminal funds that Andy administers as well as exposure of his own
illegal involvement, Norton has Tommy killed and Andy sent to solitary confinement. Two months later, Andy returns to the main prison population a
seemingly broken man, giving abstract instructions to Red. Andys friends are concerned that he may commit suicide. The following morning, he is missing
from his cell and an investigation is launched. Following the events that led to his departure, it becomes clear that Andy
escaped the prison having tunneled through the walls, using the rock hammer, over a period of years, toting his prison wall out into the exercise yard, a
handful at a time . Once he has escaped, Andy assumes the fake identity he
created earlier in order to conceal the wardens embezzlement. He collects the wardens funds from the banks in which he had deposited them over the years, and
sends the bookkeeping
evidence of the scams to a local newspaper, exposing the warden. Refusing to be arrested, Warden Norton commits suicide. When Red is
finally released from prison on parole, he follows the instructions given to him by Andy to find a further note hidden beneath a tree, which eventually leads him to
reunite with Andy, on the coast of Mexico
