In writing this thesis, the writer used a library study. Since this study was a literature study, it was done by using references from various sources on the field
of psychology. In the library research, the study was done by reading and collecting data from certain books and other writings as materials that support the

theory of character and characterization, the theory of aggression, the theory of teaching style, and the theory of personality development which were taken and
summed up from some books. There were some steps that the writer took in doing this study. The first
step was reading summaries of several novels before deciding which novel to analyze. Then, the writer started to read and understand the selected novel several
times, looked for information, and took notes of things that would be analyzed in this study. After that, the writer focused on the main character in the story, namely

CHAPTER IV ANALYSIS
This chapter consists of two parts. The first part is the characteristic descriptions of Sheila as the major character in Torey Hayden’s One Child before
and after learning with Torey. The second part is Torey’s teaching style and its influence on Sheila’s personality development.
A. Characteristics Description of Sheila
Based on Murphy 1972, there are nine ways of characterization to understand the characters in the novel, namely, personal description, character as
seen by another, speech, past life, conversation of others, reaction, direct comment, thoughts, and mannerism. Some of them will be applied to find out the
Sheila’s characteristics description. Sheila is the main character in the novel. She appeared in the story from
the beginning to the end and played an important role. She was a six-year-old girl. Sheila was a child of emotionally and behaviorally disturbed. She caused a lot of
destructions everywhere she was. She expressed her feeling through aggression. Sheila’s aggression was the best way to avoid further rejection. According to
Freud as cited in Bandura p. 13, aggression is a result of the antagonistic influence of the life instincts.
