in the panic mode when it comes to the consequences of her action. It is because she is afraid anyone who knows about her action will tell the story to the whole school,
and her world will collapse. This thought makes Hanna cannot face the problem bravely. She always hides
behind someone. She never solves her problem by herself. She prefers to run or to hide from the problem until her mom comes and defends her. She only thinks how to
hide the situation from others. She hopes noone will know about the incident and acts like nothing happen.
4. Becoming Worried
People who live hiding something will anxious with their surround. They will become worried all the time. They are worrying if people may know something
which they try to hide. They are worrying if people know their secret, then people will leave them.
In Hanna cases, she is worrying if people find out her past life and it makes her travel back to her slum life again. She is worrying become unpopular, ugly,
chubby, and lonely again. Basically, Hanna hates her old self and does not want to go back to that condition,
I‟m not jumpy,” Hanna said quickly. But she was: Ever since the police station and that e-
mail she had gotten last night, she‟d been freaking. This morning, her eyes even seemed more dull brown than green, and her arms
looked disturbing puffy. She had this horrible sense that she really was going to spontaneously morph back into her seventh-grade self. Shepard, 2006:116
She hates her old images and does not want to go back to her old images. She feels her condition now is much better. Everyone pays attention to her at school. She
can date her dream man. She is slim and perfect now. These reasons make Hanna does not want to go back to her seventh-grade image.
For maintaining her condition, she always lives in worried. She is being worried that she will become chubby and unpopular again. Because of that, she has a
habit of checking her appearance all the time. At the beginning, she is never worrying about her appearance even though she is chubby. Now her appearance becomes
number one. After her transformation, Hanna had been neurotically careful about not only
looking cool and perfect at all times, but being cool and perfect, too. Terrified that the tiniest mistake would send her spiraling back to dorkdom, Shepard,

She always checks her appearance from time to time and gives the questions to herself that she still has a good body or something wrong happen to her body.
She stopped at the mirror in the hallway and pulled up her shirt to examine her taut stomach muscles. She swiveled sideways to investigate her small, round
butt. Then she bent forward to look at her skin. Yesterday‟s blotchiness was gone. She bared her teeth. One bottom front tooth crossed over a canine. Had
they always been that way? Shepard, 2006: 154-155
Hanna thinks that what people see more important. Because of that, she tries maintaining her appearance and hides her true self in the secret room. It is because
Hanna does not want people to know herself and her past life. PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
