This chapter consists of two main parts. The first part is conclusions. This part presents the answers of the questions formulated in the chapter one. The second
main part is suggestions. This part presents the suggestions for the next future researchers and for English teaching learning using literary work.
A. Conclusions
Based on the analysis in the previous chapter, Jonathan is the main character in this novelette because he plays a big role from the beginning until the end of the
story. Jonathan is also described as a complex character. He is a protagonist character which leads the reader to give sympathy on him. In analyzing the
characteristics of Jonathan, this study uses five of the nine methods characterization suggested by Murphy. Those methods are direct comment, conversation with other,
character seen by other, thought, and speech. This study shows that Jonathan is a hard working seagull. He always
practices flying every day. He learns to fly higher than other gulls in his flock and to fly faster in the air. He loves to fly very much. Jonathan is also a smart and
curious seagull. He wants to know everything about flying and he always learns every movement. He wants to know what he can or cannot do in the air. He can
answer his own questions by identifying every step of his life. He can learn faster than other gulls in his flocks.
Jonathan is also described as a brave seagull. He dares to take the risk when he learns to fly in the high-level of speed of flying. If he is not careful enough in
doing his movements or he cannot control the speed, he can die. Yet, he takes that risk because he wants to be able to fly. Jonathan is also described as a stubborn
seagull. When his mother tries to remind him of his nature, Jonathan does not want to obey his mother. He defends himself in front of the Council Flock of seagulls by
speaking back to the Elder Gull. By analyzing his experiences, Jonathan is described as a stubborn seagull.
Secondly, Jonathan faces two conflicts, intrapersonal and interpersonal. There are two intrapersonal conflicts faced by Jonathan. The first intrapersonal
conflict happens when Jonathan decides to learn about flying. The second intrapersonal conflict happens when Jonathan wants to keep flying at night. The
conflicts solved by using win-lose solution. There are three interpersonal conflicts Jonathan has to face. Those three
interpersonal conflicts are influenced by Jonathan’s relationship with his parents, the flocks and his instructor, Sullivan. These interpersonal conflicts are categorized
as ego conflict. The conflict with his mother begins when his mother does not like to know
that her son is getting thin and thinner. Jonathan’s mother is worried very much about Jonathan’s condition. This conflict is resolved with the win-lose solution. In
this case, Jonathan cannot achieve his goal, which is learning to fly while his parents can achieve their goal. Unfortunately, as time goes by, the conflict situation
is changed. Jonathan does not want to stay with his flock in fighting for bread and surviving his life around fishing boats. His characteristic as a stubborn and brave
seagull, he decides to go away from that place and spend his days practicing. Thus, the conflict resolution changes into lose-lose solution. Both parties cannot achieve
their goal. The second interpersonal conflict happens because the Council Flock does
not want to appreciate the truth that seagull can be free. They blame Jonathan as a rule breaker. Since Jonathan is a brave seagull, he dares to speak back to the
Council Flock. Jonathan tries to explain the reasons. Unfortunately, the Council Flock refuses to hear Jonathan’s explanation and puts him as the outcast of the gulls
in his flock. To end this conflict, the Flock and Jonathan gain a win-lose problem solution. There is only one party who achieves the goal. In this case, the flock can
achieve the goal to put Jonathan as the outcast but Jonathan cannot achieve his goal. The last is the conflict with Jonathan’s instructor, Sullivan. The conflict is
caused by disagreement of Sullivan about Jonathan’s plan to go back to the earth. He thinks that Jonathan will not be able to show heaven to seagulls on earth because
they cannot see the heaven. This is approach-approach conflict, where the parties can solve their conflict by defining the motivation to achieve the goal. Since
Jonathan is brave and stubborn, finally Jonathan decides to go back to the earth and leave Sullivan. This conflict ends with win-lose solution as their problem solving.
