This chapter consists of three sections. Those are conclusions and suggestions. The conclusions contain the summary from the result of the analysis
in this study. At the second place, there will be suggestions for future the researchers and the teachers.
A. Conclusions
In the previous chapter, the two problems which are how the narrator is described in the novel and the meaning of grown-ups as seen by the narrator had
been answered. The researcher concluded the previous discussion into a summary consist of some paragraphs. It is clear that in this novel the narrator‟s
characteristic is pretty much affected by his experiences and society. He was an imaginative person until he had to give up his dream to become an artist and
ended up being a pilot. That reason is a pair of cause and effect with his loneliness. It seems that nobody in his society understands him. He cannot share
his thought to people around him because no one has the same way of thinking like him. The narrator is a grown-up but he has the childlike perspective. Being
someone with that kind of perspective, often arouse people‟s negative thought that he is a childish person. However, the researcher does not agree with that view.
The researcher thinks that having a childlike perspective is somehow can bring PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

someone into a deeper meaning of life. It is shown that with that perspective, you can judge that the na
rrator‟s drawing is not a hat but a boa swallows an elephant. It is important to think like children sometimes because children always learn and
discover something new in their learning. In the novel, the readers can find so many life lessons. One of the lessons is
that we have to look beyond the surface. That is what the researcher discussed in the Chapter Four. The researcher used the connection between the narrator and the
grown-ups. The narrator thinks that a grown-up is an absurd individual. They pursue something in their life without knowing what the meaning behind it. They
pursue money, car, house, fame, and wealth. They only care about numbers and figures. The narrator clearly tells us that he does not like this individual.
The life lessons that are found in the novel is formulated to the second problems. The researcher revealed the meaning of grown-ups as seen by the
narrator. The meaning is both literally and deeply. The readers can know the meaning of grown-ups literally from the novel itself. The literal meaning of
grown- ups can be seen from the narrator‟s direct explanation. The narrator often
explained the grown-up by describing who they are and what they do. The deeper meaning was revealed by relating the explanations that are
presented in th e novel with the real world with the character‟s motivation. The
first thing that represents the deeper meaning of grown- ups is parents‟ control. It
has something about the control that parents have over their children. It is a relation to the real life that many parents that force their own ego above their
children. They force their children to do, act, and think like them. They do not PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
