CHAPTER V CONCLUSIONS, RECOMMENDATIONS AND SUGGESTIONS

This chapter consists of three parts which are conclusions, recommendations and suggestions. The first one is conclusions, which discusses about the conclusions of the analysis in the chapter four which are the characteristics of Jamal Malik, the surface meaning, and the deeper meaning of Jamal Malik’s motivation in joining the Who Wants to be a Millionaire quiz. The second part is recommendations which consist of recommendations for future researchers. The last part is suggestions for English teachers.

A. Conclusions

After analyzing Slumdog Millionaire movie script, the researcher can draw conclusions of this thesis. In this chapter, the researcher is going to conclude the findings into some paragraphs. There are two formulated problems which are discussed in this study. The first one deals with how Jamal Malik is described as the main character in Simon Beaufoy’s Slumdog Millionaire script. Using the theory of character, Jamal is described as a major and round character. It is because Jamal’s character is given attention by the readers and cannot be described just in a single phrase or sentence. Using Murphy’s theory, Jamal is described as a kind, brave, generous, introvert, and reactive person. Jamal’s kind characteristic is shown in 54 one of the situations when he gives Latika his plastic sheet which is used to cover up his body. He gives it to make Latika’s body warmer because her body is wet. Besides, he also lets Latika join them under the same building during the rain, even though Salim does not let her. The next characteristic of Jamal is brave. One of Jamal’s brave characteristics is shown when he is still competing in the Who Wants to be a Millionaire quiz. He does not want to give up at all in the quiz even though the host wants him to give up and brings home the money immediately. Jamal is also a generous person. He easily gives his money to his friend who is blind. Jamal accidently meets him in the street while he is singing to beg for money. Jamal gives him a hundred dollars that he gets from the tourists because Jamal is feeling sorry for him. Other than that, Jamal is an introvert person. It is proved in the situation when Jamal calls his brother to help him answering the question of the quiz. He says that his brother’s number is the only number he knows which means that he never contacts other person except for his brother. In the story itself, Jamal is never seen go out with his friends. The last characteristic seen in the story is reactive. It can be shown when Jamal punches Salim when they meet each other after a long time being separated. He is too angry for everything Salim does to him. The second finding deals with the meaning of Jamal Malik’s motivation in joining the Who Wants to be a Millionaire quiz. The researcher explains the surface and the dee per meaning of Jamal’s motivation. The surface meaning of Jamal’s motivation in joining the quiz is because he wants to meet Latika, the girl PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI 55 he loves. They have to be separated several times because of many things. It makes Jamal join the quiz since he knows that Latika loves watching it. In the end of the quiz, Jamal finally can speak to Latika through the phone call from the quiz. Therefore, through the quiz, Jamal is able to meet Latika again. The dee per meaning of Jamal’s motivation in joining the quiz can be seen through Jamal’s motivation based on his needs. Jamal is struggling in fulfilling his safety need. Since he lives in a slum area, he faces a lot of hard things. One of them is when his mother died and he has to live with Salim in the cruel world. One day he meets Latika. They live together until one day Maman takes them to become a beggar. However, Jamal and Salim successfully run away from Maman while Latika is left behind. Maman then makes Latika become a prostitute. After Maman dies, Latika cannot do anything even go anywhere because he is owned by Javed, Maman’s enemy. Jamal several times tries to safe Latika because both of them are not safe if Javed still exists. By joining the Who Wants to be a Millionaire quiz, Jamal can show his presence to Latika and both of them can go together in case of their safety. From this, Jamal’s safety need is fulfilled. He and Latika can release themselves from bad people.

B. Recommendations

This part gives recommendations for the future researchers. For those who want to conduct a study using Slumdog Millionaire script, there are still many aspects that can be analyzed. The analysis of this study is limited to the motivation of Jamal Malik in joining the Who Wants to be a Millionaire quiz. 56 Therefore, the researcher suggests the future researchers to analyze Jamal’s love towards Latika as seen in the Slumdog Millionaire script. Besides, the future researchers can also analyze Salim Malik’s motivation in joining a group of gang as seen in the script.

C. Suggestions

This part gives suggestions for English teachers. Even though Slumdog Millionaire story is an adaptation from a novel, it still can be used for teaching- learning activity.
