problem, sex is a bad thing and even thinks that male and female relationship only concerns sex. Those perceptions appear because her experiences during her live.
For Marguerite, life as a black woman is also a struggle. In the novel, Marguerite always struggles for her life. One of the examples is when she is pregnant and has
a son in the age of sixteen years old. The last perception is Marguerite perception of life as a black woman is shown that nothing wrong with her appearance as
black woman, she becomes proud and confident as a black woman. Marguerite’s life is more colorful after she becomes a mother for her son.
B. Suggestions
This part is divided into two sections. The first section concerns with the suggestions for future researchers. And the second section discusses the
suggestion for the English Teaching Learning process using literary texts. Two skills in learning English that are speaking and reading are presented as the
implementation for the teaching and learning activities.
1. Suggestion For the Future Researchers
Maya Angelou’s novel I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings is a very interesting novel. Angelou’s novel presents situations that can appear and
normally happened in the world. From this novel I also learn how we must appreciate people without look at where they from and what race they are. We can
also find moral teaching and value in it. The problems and incidents that describe in the novel are very interesting. It can be analyzed by the future researchers
without lack of ideas.
My analysis is just limited to the analysis of Marguerite’s perception of life as a black girl. Future researchers may explore about Bailey’s perception of
black people’s life that portrayed in the novel. The future researchers can also discuss about the symbols that appear in
the novel. And also the future researchers can analyze the title of the novel. The future researcher also can analyze the other characters that exist in the novel and
the motivation of Marguerite’s muteness.
2. Suggestion for Teaching and Learning Activities
Most people regard novel as one of the means to pass their leisure time. They can have an enjoyment as well as its beauty when reading it. Actually
reading a novel does not only give us an enjoyment, but it also gives us moral teaching as well as a source for teaching learning activities.
Novel as a literary text provides some valuable sources for improving and developing students’ English mastery. When the students learn English literature,
they also learn the culture of people whose language they are studying. Through English literature the students can stimulate the ability in speaking and writing in
English. As we know, the language used in the literary text sometimes differs from any other texts. It is more difficult to be understood and uncommon to be
used in a daily conversation. Through English literature, students will be more aware and sensitive to some of the features of English. Literature is means to
educate the whole person because the theme of the literary text is not far from human relationship.
Therefore, literature is an important media in teaching language because he teacher will be helped providing rich sources to the goal achievement in
teaching language. Trough literature students can learn not only the language skills but also learn of aspects of life.
The novel I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings can be used as a teaching material in English teaching learning process. It can draw students’ attention to
read literary works. In this part, I choose the implementation of literary work in teaching Speaking IV.
