2.3 Theoretical Framework
The theory of approach indicates the main direction of the study that will lead to a conclusion. They are the Psychological and the Socio-Historical
Approach. The Psychological approach leads this study into the case of perception between two characters about the Indians. The perception making is indeed
influenced by the different gender, experiences, and the knowledge of the main characters. By using the theory of Gender Stereotypes, this study finds the
characterization of John Cooper and Catarina de Escobar that will then contribute to the mechanism system of perception making. The analysis of perception
making undergoes the experiences and knowledge that John Cooper and Catarina de Escobar have related to the Indians. This approach refers to the analysis
through the psychological aspect and connects the case with the theories of some experts.
The Socio-Historical Approach provides some background knowledge of what happened in the past in accordance with the case of perception. There are
proofs about the Indians’ past life, the Whites’ arrival in the New World, the contrast tradition between the Indians and the Whites that happened in the past,
and the clash between the Whites and the Indians. Those theories aim to prove whether the story depicts what really happened at the past or merely a thought
reflection of the writer. The implementation of the Socio-Historical approach lies in the points of the analysis part; providing reflections and comparisons about the
historical proofs in the past and in what has been written in the story. It helps the theory of perception and the case building of this study since the experiences of

both characters, John Cooper and Catarina, are impulsively aroused and influenced by those realities of fact.
The theory of character and characterization provide the basic understanding of how the writer created the characters and how he suited them
with their manner, speaking, thoughts, ideas, performance and etc. These theories help analyze the first objective of finding John Cooper’s and Catarina de
Escobar’s characterization and their roles in the story. In general, the theories of character and characterization help find the personalities of those two main
characters. The personalities of John Cooper and Catarina de Escobar that are reflected through their characterization then work as the psychological factors that
help the analysis of perception making. Thus, these two theories help augment the analysis on the perception field.
The core theory in this study is perception because it mostly influences the analysis and brings it to a resolution. Perception underlies the essential analysis of
how John Cooper and Catarina de Escobar perceive and respond to the Indians based on their very own experiences, way of thinking, manner and historical
background and gender differences. The flow of the analysis undergoes the mechanism system of perception as Reality Æ Perceptual Field Æ Reacting Part
ÅÆ Emotion and thought. The events happening in the story reflects the Reality of the perceived object. Those events are related to the Indians whom John
Cooper and Catarina de Escobar perceive. Perceptual Field comes as the processor of perception making. Here the mechanism system of perception works and
produces perception points that are influenced by John Cooper’s and Catarina de

Escobar’s characterization, instead. Not only the characterization, but experiences and knowledge of John Cooper and Catarina de Escobar also contribute some
impacts to their perception making. Meanwhile; Reacting Part follows up John Cooper’s and Catarina de Escobar’s perception as the further reaction through
their thoughts and emotions about the Indians. Beside John Cooper’s and Catarina de Escobar’s thoughts and emotions related to the Indians, peer relationship and
social relationship also become the Reacting Part that reflects further relationships that John Cooper and Catarina de Escobar build with the Indians.
The theory of relationship refers to the analysis of how John Cooper builds his relationship with some tribes of the Indians and so does Catarina with the
Indians. It portrays the process and the classification of two or more people in having communication, life-sharing, experiences and cooperation. This theory
also helps finding John Cooper’s and Catarina de Escobar’s Reacting Part which are reflected through their peer and social relationships with the Indians.
Relationship theory consists of peer and social relationship. Peer relationship portrays John Cooper’s and Catarina de Escobar’s personal experiences with the
Indians in person. Meanwhile; social relationship presents their relationship and social affairs with the Indian society. There are four Indian tribes that are involved
in the story. They are the Ayuhwa Sioux, the Skidi Pawnee, the Dakota Sioux, and the Jicarilla Apache. In order to find the third objective of this study, the theory of
relationship will enlist John Cooper’s and Catarina de Escobar’s peer and social relationships with the Indians. Thus, the discussion of the third problem
formulation will employ this theory of relationship intensively.

An additional theory of gender differences gives information related to the process of perception between two people of different sexes. It supports the
analysis on chapter four; explaining why the difference is here. This theory explains the factors why women and men mostly perceive a thing or two in
different ways. This theory is served as the device to find John Cooper’s and Catarina de Escobar’s characterization. The characterization itself represents the
personality of John Cooper and Catarina de Escobar as one of their psychological factors of perception making. In other words, the theory of gender
stereotypesdiversities contributes background personality of perception theory that will be essential in order to analyze the second formulated problem.

CHAPTER 3 METHODOLOGY
This chapter three of methodology focuses on object of the study, critical approach and methodology. Object of the study presents the primary source of the
study and a brief summary of the novel. The critical approach explains the approach used in this study and the last point explains the methods applied in this
study.
3.1 Object of the Study
The object of this study is a novel titled The Hawk and the Dove, written by Leigh Franklin James. This is a novel with strong socio-historical background
