routine drill and joined his mates on playing card games until the late night. In the card games he had lost much money that he had spent before he enrolled into the
Marine so he decided to stop and try another activity. In the early of the other day, he jogged nearby the camp and at the end of the session he found a photograph of
a smiling young woman with a phrase “Keep Safe-E” which was buried in the
dirt, thinking of someone might have lost the photograph, after back to the camp Logan attached the photograph on the announcement board so the one who had
lost the photograph could get it back. After days passed, no one claimed for the photograph so Logan take back the
photograph. Starting from this moment his life strikes into luck, his first luck was when he came back into card game after his friend asked him to re-join the game,
previously he had lost much money while in this time he won the money back even gained more money so that he played longer with the other players, the other
luck saved him from the combats during his duty tour. A friend who was also a Marine, Victor, told Logan that the photograph had brought him into luck because
he believed in superstitions that the photograph was a lucky charm, but Logan just did not to pay so much attention on his friend‟s superstition until five years after
the duty tour was over he still remembered on what his friend had told him. Coming back home in Colorado, Logan was haunted by
his friend‟s suggestion on looking for the woman in the photograph. At last, he followed his
friends suggestion and with the lack of information which was only found in the photograph about the woman in the photograph he took a trip by foot to Hampton,
North Carolina.
The long journey had brought him and his fellow-dog, Zeus into a small town in North Carolina. In the town he tried to get more information about the woman
from the men in the same age as her. He found out that the young woman named Elizabeth, she was a divorced young mother who lived with her grandmother and
a son i n the grandmother‟s house with a kennel. It is like antoher fortune that the
kennel was looking for an employee so Logan signed up for job and that was the beginning of Logan
involved into Elizabeth‟s life. Day by day passing by, Logan and Elizabeth were getting closer and they involved into a relationship. Their
relationships was threaten when Elizabeth‟s ex husband knew about the photograph that Logan brought and because of his dislike with their relationship
he tried to take them a part.
B. Approach of the Study
In this thesis writing, the writer used Feminism as the approach of the study. This approach was choosen because it is related to the study which is about the
status of a woman in the society, and the writer sees that in the study the position of woman is being controlled by the men, woman cannot have her relationships
with the other man just because her ex-husband does not like her to be with the other man and stalking on her life, those are some of the controls that minimizing
the rights of the woman on having the freedom in the society and it is closely related to the purpose of Feminism where the Feminism is to make the people
especially women to become conscious with the situation where mostly women are being under the control of the men by lim
itating the women‟s move in the
society and women must fight against the situation because women and men are equal.
There is a definition about what Feminism is according to Maggie Humm in her book entitled
The Definition of Feminist Theory
. The definition is stated as follows.
The definition incorporates both a doctrine of equal rights for women the organised movement to attain women‟s rights and an ideology of social
transformation aiming to create a world for women beyond simple social equality Humm, 1989:94.
According to the quotation above, feminism means a doctrine that provoke the issue of rights equality between men and women by doing organised movement to
establish women‟s rights, and an ideology to women‟s rights equality in the society.
Moreover, there is a goal of the feminism according to Bressler in his book entitled
Literary Criticism
, Feminism‟s goal is defined as follows. Feminism‟s goal is to change this degrading view of women so that all
women will realize that they are not a “nonsignificant Other,” but that each
woman is a valuable person possessing the same privileges and rights as every man. Women, feminists declare, must define themselves and assert
their own voices in the arenas of politics, society, education, and the arts. By personally committing themselves to fostering such change, feminists hope to
create a society where the male and female voices are equally valued. Bressler, 1999:180.
In the society women are always put as the secondary people, they do not have
much access to have an education, politics, work, and they are also have small voice in taking any decision in the society. The purpose of Feminism is to change
the general view of women on the society, as previously discussed, that women in the society are treated as the nonsignificant other which means that women have
no role in the society while men are the only people that role the society and the men also role the women, the other purpose also the liberation of the unequal
treatment betwe en men and women by changing women‟s view that actually
women have the same quality and rights with men, so that women can have the same opportunity with men.
