“…Besides invoking God and other higher powers in his gratitude, Felix Salinger's religiosity is also reflected in his praying habit. According to Dewi et al (2021) and Febriana et al (2014), praying is an act of someone who believes in God. In Gleitzman's Once, Felix Salinger was revealed to be praying in subsequences 3f, 4b, and 14d.…”

“…This action can be read as a camouflage strategy for Felix Salinger to hide his Jewish identity. On the other hand, it can also be read as respect toward other religions, which is in itself a sign of spirituality (Dewi et al, 2021;Kemendikbud, 2017;Saraswati et al, 2021;Suwastini, Asri, et al, 2020).…”

“…Each sequence consists of one main event in the plot development. Each sequence can include subsequences, comprised of details of incidents around the main event of the sequence (Dewi, Suwastini, & Jayantini, 2021;Suwastini, Lasmawan, et al, 2020). This segmentation is aimed to ease the process of data analysis by presenting the novel in more manageable units of analysis.…”

The present study aimed to elaborate on the characterization of Felix Salinger, the main character in Morris Gleitzman’s Holocaust novel entitled Once. Through textual analysis, the study revealed that the novel portrays Felix Salinger as an eight-year-old Jewish boy who was religious, brave, caring, and creative. Felix Salinger's religious character involved strong tolerance toward Christianity and high respect for the higher powers in their various names. His bravery was shown when he had to accomplish many challenging tasks at the risk of his own life. Felix Salinger's caring characterizations were supported by his observant, attentive, and selfless characters. His creativity relied on his imagination to create solutions to various challenges he faced, including creating stories to entertain others as part of his survival. These findings imply that children can be very resilient in challenging situations.

J. K. Rowling’s Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone has presented readers with different unique teachers. Even though Rowling’s series disclose Professor Snape as a hero, the first novel depicted him as an insufferable character set to thwart the main characters’ adventure. This study aimed to provide more objective portrayals of Professor Snape through interactive qualitative data analysis. The subject of the study is J. K. Rowling’s Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. Meanwhile, the characterizations of Professor Snape become the object of the study. As the main instrument of data collection, the researcher conducted close reading. The analysis consisted of a concurrent process of data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing, which are also synchronized with the data collected at the beginning of the research. This study reveals that Professor Snape was depicted as knowledgeable, curious, observant, hardworking, loner, partial, loyal, responsible, and authoritative. These results show that Professor Snape has good characters. However, they were overshadowed by his brooding appearance. This conclusion implies that students should not judge their teacher or others based on their appearance.

“…The primary method of data collection was close reading, supported with the segmentation of the novel narrative into sequences and subsequences to help divide the novel into manageable units of analysis (Bordwell and Thompson, 2008). In this case, a major event in the plot is considered a sequence, while the detailed incidents of the event are called subsequences (Dewi et al, 2021). These subsequences are then analyzed to identify the social issues that they contain.…”

Literature reflects life and shares insights about human life. Holocaust literature focuses on sharing the dark experience of the German Nazis' occupation of Poland in the Second World War. This study aims to identify the representation of social issues in John Boyne’s The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas (2006), one of the Holocaust novels that focuses on children’s experience of the Holocaust. The study employs the interactive qualitative data analysis from Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña (2014), where the data analysis consists of three simultaneous processes of data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing. It reveals five major social issues included in the novel: the ethnocentric Nazi’s beliefs about German’s superiority, slavery, child labor, class difference, and marginalization toward women. The results imply that children’s literature can also present social issues that may raise awareness about the cruelty of the Holocaust.
