1.2 Reason for Choosing the Topic
Social life seems to be very interesting to study since we are a part of it. Analyzing social cases will give us a good perspective to become more aware of what happens
in our surroundings. Our sense towards social problem will increase and make us tend to participate in coping up with it. The study of social life can be done from history,
pamphlet, newspaper, biography, and also literature, because literature is a part of human life that it is written by author that he contemplates his surroundings.
Therefore, studying literature will give us not only pleasure, but also the facts of history, especially the society of the author.
Iron Star, a novel of Brian Kelleher tells about war and murder set in America during the end of World War II. This novel seems to be close with how American
people view toward their enemies terrorism in the war when they became the winner or in other word we call as superpower state. This novel was published in
2001 as happening in America a great accident of WTC World Trade Center building bombing and the terrorism issues that had been reveal some years before the
explosion of the building. The situation on the novel as the aftermath of the World War II seems to have been related. This novel also shows how the effect of the war
had caused people to live in misery and fear. The novel shows how the characters solve the problem in overcoming the
conflict and its root. It is such a kind of example as a civil society in coordinating with the government to achieve peace. The choice of the study is hoped that it will
give some short explanations on how we will do for our country as a civil society to achieve peace as many civil wars or internal conflicts tend to occur in our country
easily. The other advantageous is how we view something from other different point of view. This study will lead us to know that not all American people are in same
opinion in viewing the terrorism that happened in America.
