1. INTRODUCTION
1.1. Background of the Study Roberts
and Jacobs (1995:2) say, “Literature is classified into four genres : prose fiction, poetry, drama, and nonfiction
prose.” From the four genres, the writer
decided to discuss the prose fiction, exactly on novel. Fiction isa literary term that means unreal. Rees (1973:106) says,
“Novel is a fictious narrative prose of
considerable lenght in which characters and actions representative of real life
are portrayed in a plot of more or less
complexity.” It means that novel is a work of fiction in the form of stories that
describe the unreal characters or events, although it may be fictional, they have a
resemblance to real life. Novel is an extended
work of prose fiction, longer than a
short story or a medium length fiction,
called a novelette ornovella. Novel is one of human literature creation.
Peck and Coyle (1984:102) say, “The novel
reflects a moveaway from an essentially
religious view of life towards a new interest in the complexities of everyday experience. Most novels are concerned
with ordinary people and their problems
in the societies in which they find themselves.” That novels are entertained and also give messages to the
readers. It can also impress the readers.
The type of this novel is epistoraly novel. An
epistolary novel is a novel written as a
series documents. The al form is letters, newspaper clippings and other documents are sometimes used as
storytelling. Recently, electronic documents
such as blogs and e-mails have also come into use. The epistolary form can add greater realism to a story, because it
mimics the workings of real life.
2 Telekinesis is an ability to influence objects
with the power of mind.The term of
telekinesis was coined in 1890 by a researcher from Russia named Alexander N. Aksakof from the Greek tele and
kines. Tele means distance and kinesis
means movement. In the early 1900 the term of telekinesis abused and gets a bad reputation because it related to the a
mystical. After that comes the term psychokinesis
was coined in 1914 by American author Henry Holt in His book On the Cosmic Relations and was adopted by
American parapsychologist J.B. Rhine in
1934 in connection with experiments that were conducted to determine if a person could influence the outcome of falling
dice.
Some people tend to use the term psychokinesis
to refer to the various kind of ability
of the mind, such as moving objects, softening the metal, controlling magnetism, controling of light
particles, relieving pain and others.
While the term telekinesis only
refers to the movement of objects with the power of the mind such as moving, shaking, swaying,
spinning, rupture, and cause hot or cold
an object by speeding up or slowing down the movement of the atoms of the object. Psychokinesis and telekinesis commonly
abbreviated PK and TK. While the term
Micro PK is psychokinesis to small things like influence the atoms and Macro PK is psychokinesis to big things like
bending metal and so forth. And now,
most people use the term psychokinesis and telekinesis are likely the same which influence the objects with mentalpower
without physically touching it.
