A. Conclusions

After analyzing the novel, the writer comes to the conclusions that answers the problems formulated in this thesis. The first is the description of Mark Anders’ character in Wilbur Smith’s A Sparrow Falls. Mark Anders characters are classified into three categories, they are physical, psychological, and social traits. Mark Anders in the novel is described as handsome physical trait; tough, determined, smart, well-planned, brave, sensitive psychological traits; generous, grateful, easily attracted to women, regretful, competent, honest, affectionate, dutiful, trustworthy, and reliable social traits. The second is Mark Anders’ motivation to be a Chaka’s Gate ranger. There are two kinds of motivation found in the analysis of this novel. They are extrinsic and intrinsic motivation. Extrinsically, Mark Anders is motivated to be a Chaka’s Gate ranger because Mark already has close relationship with Chaka’s Gate since he was a child. Mark often went to Chaka’s Gate with his grandfather 54 in his childhood. Mark is motivated to be a Chaka’s Gate ranger also because there is no ranger in Chaka’s Gate so that people can hunt and cut trees freely in Chaka’s Gate. The next Mark Anders’ motivation to be a Chaka’s Gate ranger is that Chaka’s Gate is in danger. Intrinsically, Mark Anders is motivated to be a Chaka’s Gate ranger to fulfil some needs. The first is to fulfill physiological needs. Although money is not the first priority in his life, Mark still needs a job and the job is as the ranger of Chaka’s Gate. By working as the ranger of Chaka’s Gate, Mark fulfils his physiological needs although it is in the minimum level. The second need is safety need. Chaka’s Gate gives him the feeling of peace which he cannot find anywhere else. The third is belongingness and love needs. Mark finds love in Chaka’s Gate. It is not love between Mark and a woman but it is love between Mark and Chaka’s Gate. The last is esteem needs. By being a Chaka’s Gate ranger, Mark feels important and valuable as a human.
