1 CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION
A. Background of the Research
Everybody in this world needs some ways to communicate with
others. Therefore, they have to master language. As human being, people
tend to live or interact with other. It proves that human beings are social
creatures who need to interaction each other. As social creatures, the most
important thing is that naturally motivated to interact with other people to
express their existence, needs, and opinion. Additionally, they try to
understand others about what they read to get information, looking for
solution and so on. The importance of language includes a lot of aspects,
because experience, feeling and idea of someone can only be known by
other people by using language. It means that language is for
communication.
According to Wardhaugh (1992:1), “language is what the members
of a particular society speak”. Language is the way to communicate
element between nation and society that used to consign an idea and
someone feeling (Kamil, 1982:7). From the statement above the writer can
take the lesson that what important language is, in this world. Comparing
the language, the writer can know between one nation with others.
English is an international language. It is used in almost the whole
2
communicate and interact with other. Beside that, English is also prestige;
people who are able to communicate using English are considered as
modern and civilized people. That is why it becomes a necessity to master
that language.
There are four skills to master language that is reading, listening,
writing, and speaking. Reading is the important part among four language
skills, by reading we can understand knowledge and enrich our perception.
Islam has been teaching us to read. It has been figured by our prophet
Muhammad when he accepted the first revelation. It shows in Al „Alaq: 1:
Meaning :Proclaim! (or read!) in the name of thy Lord and
Cherisher, Who created (Al Alaq:1)
In social life, reading is one of the important parts of people to get
information in their circle life. They can‟t avoid from reading activity.
Furthermore, they often meet lot of reading texts materials such as
announcement, advertisement, greeting cards, short message, notice,
caution, invitation cards, postcards, shopping list, and food label. Those
are related texts above, the writer often meet in magazine, newspaper,
billboard, announcement board and so on. Need to remember, from that
many texts, there are texts that refers to character building and nor. It gives
3
As a good reader, they should be able to give critics, message, and
comment to reading material that have been read. Are the texts suitable

Nowadays, our country is affected by moral degradation. It‟s showed
by brawl accident everywhere, the son killing his father, and so on. As
young people and next generation, they should learn actively to get what
they wish for their future and get their goal. But in fact that‟s not all like
that. Here mass media and some kinds of it are very influential toward
reader mind set. According to Wiryanto (2006:22), “the all-powerful
media are able to impress ideas on defenseless minds”.

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
A. Previous Research Review
Sari Anjani is the student of Syarif Hidayatullah State Islamic
University (UIN) of Jakarta in academic year of 2014. Her title is “The
Effectiveness of Using Authentic Materials towards Student’s Reading
Comprehension of Short Functional Texts”. In her research, she focused on
“Effectiveness of Using Authentic Materials towards Students‟ Reading
Comprehension of Short Functional Texts”. She used quantitative method.
The result of her research was using Jakarta post. The effectiveness in
teaching students‟ reading comprehension is using short functional texts,
and the result of the statistic was said that the calculation indicated the
value of t0 = 2,29 and the value of df (degree of freedom) 68 % with
significance 5 % is 1.66. Comparing the t0 with each values of degree
significance, the writer finds that t0 is higher than ttable . The result showed
that t-test (t0) > t-table (tt) (2.29 > 1.66).
Ainnia Balchis Vella Desia, the student of State Institute For Islamic
Studies Salatiga in academic year of 2014. His title is “An Descriptive
Analysis of Character Building Values Seen in “I AM SAM” Script”. She
used qualitative method. The purpose of this research is to analyze moral
8
the teacher and students to learn or behave well and politely in the
teaching process.
Based on thesis above, some of key terms are same with this
research, which is applied as character building and short functional texts.
The uniqueness of this research compared with other researches above is
use of Jakarta post as object of this research. Jakarta post is the one of
Indonesian newspaper that use English language and it is the most popular
newspaper in Indonesia. This research can be reference to choice which
one text that include character building and not.
This chapter the writer shows review of related literature used in this
study. This chapter is giving information concerned with the research
problems. It consists of: the definition of rhetorical messages, character
building, short functional texts definition, and Jakarta Post.
B. Rhetorical Messages
Rhetorical messages are consist of two words, that are rhetorical
and message. Rhetorical is using a style designed to impress or persuade;
artificial or exaggerated in language (Hornby, 1974:728). While, message
is a spoken or written piece of information that you send to another person
or leave for them (Harlow, 2003:1205).
Furthermore, it can be conclude that rhetorical messages is
message that send from one person to another person persuasively event
exaggerated in language.
9 C. Character Building
Endang Mulyasa (2011: 3), propose Wynee opinion that the term of
character is taken from Greece language is „to mark’. This term more
focused on how to attempt the implementation good values in action form
or behavior.
Others definition based on Lickona quoted by Muslich (2011: 50),
there are three components of characters; moral knowing, moral feeling,
and moral action. Therefore, hopefully the people can understand feeling,
and doing useful values.
Mustikasari (2014: 9) said that character building is to be
implemented in teaching and learning process because teachers play an
important role to educate students. So, the teacher as educator should learn
about student character because it can make him to master and manage the
student if there is a problem, and he takes an apart to educate the student.
William and Burden (1997: 120) in Mustikasari motivation may be
constructed as:
“a) state of cognitive and emotional arousal. b) Which leads to conscious decision to act. c) Which gives rise to a period of sustained intellectual and or physical effort. d) In order to attain a previously set goal (or goals)”
Therefore, everybody who can construct themselves have real
character. Furthermore, he can get strong principle and will not be easy to
change. Knowing other people and knowing environment around is
10
According to Linda and Richard (1997; vi), There are several kinds
of character values: they include the universal concepts such as bravery,
peace ability, self-reliance, self-discipline, loyalty, respecting others, and
love and affection
1. Honesty is the strength and confidence that come from within (Linda
and Eyre, 1997: 3)
2. Brave to try the good stuff though difficult. Brave to say no to an
invitation to do a breach. (Linda and Eyre, 1997: 17)
3. Peace ability, the Poise and patience in adopt opinion from other
people. Understand that the differences are rarely resolved through
conflict; the differences should be resolved by peaceful (Linda and
Eyre, 1997: 35)
4. Self-reliance, overcome the tendency to blame others when
experiencing difficulties. Believe in the ability of self (Linda and
Eyre, 1997: 48)
5. Self- discipline, can to activate and organize of yourself, to control
your emotions and be able to control in personal desire (Linda and
Eyre, 1997: 64)
6. Loyalty, loyal to family, job, state, school, and other organization and
institutions to which we are responsible. Prepared to support, serve,
11
7. Respecting others, respect for life, respect for parents, respect for the
older, and respect for the beliefs. Civilized and courteous behavior
(Linda and Eyre, 1997:112)
8. Love and affection, love to yourself more than just a loyal and
respectful. Affection to friends, love to neighbor, love to hate us and
put the responsibility for love life to family (Linda and Eyre, 1997:
124)
The writer suggests that not all of people have chosen characters, but
in reality everybody have two and three character maximally. Character
values of person can be seen when he did something continuously and
consciously.
Character based on Foester in Sutarjo (2012: 77) is something that
makes one qualified. Character becomes identities, distinctive feature,
constant characteristic, that contains experience that is always changed.
Therefore, character is set of values that become habitual life and become
constant characteristic inside the ones.
Furthermore, there are some traits that can be used as a guide for
analyzing characters building in this research. The following is the six
pillars of character building:
12
people fairly. 6) Citizenship: cooperate, involve in community affairs, stay informed, and obey rules”.
(Adopted from http://charactercounts.org/sixpillars.html,
quoted by Mustikasari, Rr. Dewi Wahyu.(2012). Boosting character
building through an integrated-skills Task an ICT‟s usage)”.
Based on the explanation above, the writer uses six pillars as a
character building to analyze the data. Because there are aspects of
character building that can be used as references in the research. The
aspects of character building above are as the main sources.
D. Short Functional text
1. Definition of Text
Based on Anderson cited by Floriasti (2012;3), text are pieces of
written or spoken language created for a particular purpose and
context. That definition tells us that text is not always in written form.
It can be spoken text, not always in printed form because it can be a
word or as thick as a book. When the words put together although
spoken or written but the meaning is communicated meaning, the text
is created.
J House in Spolsky (1999: 598) give opinion can be seen:
13
least because of the influence exerted by studies in the fields of „text linguistic‟, cognitive text processing models, „discourse analysis‟, functional theories of language and text, and „contrastive rhetoric‟”.
Respond on the J. House‟s opinion that text has existed since
years ago. However, written text consider as not creative work
because usage oral language is more creative.
2. Definition of Short Functional Text
Based on Mark and Kathy in Anjani‟s graduating paper (2014:
13), functional text is used for everyday information. Its presents
information or ideas and aim to show, tell or persuade the audience.
Based on Standar Isi is called Standar Kompetensi. The
complete standard competencies, particularly about Short Functional
Texts in year XI, 2nd semester that are cited from BSNP or Badan
Standar Nasional Pendidikan (National Standard of Education
Bureau) are as follows:
