BACKGROUND of the PROBLEM Poetry is a work of literature created by human being; it is the way for people to convey an emotion whether it happiness or sadness of powerful feeling. Everyone who has experience can share their life on poetry, so poetry is kind of media which full of creativity of human being. Therefore, poetry still exists as a formal art in this present period. If we study poetry carefully, poetry is like a puzzle that we have to pick it apart to see what the message of poetry has been hidden for us. We have to explore our mind to break down every section to know about poetry all together. Unfortunately, some people are not interested in English poetry; they think that they get bored by studying this work, because it needs more senses that we have to know in analyzing poetry. Poets make their poems more interesting by using the figure of speech, symbol, imagery and many others of elements which support the beauty of the poem. Sometimes some poems use the
2 figurativeness and images that make the reader confused when read a poem, in order to do this, the reader has to understand the meaning behind the word used. There are several elements of poem namely imagery, figurative language, symbol, allusion, tone, syntax, sounds, rhythm and mater. All the elements of poem together convey the meaning. Figurative speech runs out of the real meaning, we seldom find the figure of speech in our daily conversation but we often find it in poem and imagery represents the mood of poem, imagery is the image that we can feel our five senses that can be described on symbol which poet uses. Those helped us to convey the point of poem. Many poets use it, so the poem is more interesting for readers to read. Therefore, we need to read it carefully by creating the meaning, emotion, and the idea of poem. Based on the explanation above, the writer conducts this thesis entitled The Usage of Figure of Speech, imagery and Symbol Illustrating in the World War 1 Poem of British Poet in finding out figure of speech, imagery and symbol on World War 1 poems that contribute the theme in each poems, because the World War 1 poem is one of powerful poems from the period in old English poetry. Many poets or soldiers convey their experiences in war are written on powerful poem, so it can help us as young generation to get more knowledge on World War period. REVIEW OF LITERATURE Poetry (from the Latin poeta, a poet) is a form of literary art in which language is used for its aesthetic and evocative qualities in addition to, or in lieu of, its apparent meaning ( Parrine (1974:553) said that poetry maybe defined as a kind of language that says more and says it more intensely than an ordinary language. This statement confirms that poetry is a kind of language because poetry is to say and to express more itself intensely. The word in our language can be equalized with compact, full of meaning capacity to use word to bare meaning. The word poem is from Greek word Poiema meaning something made, created. For some people poem is a work of art. Poem requires two parties to work: a reader and a listener (Robert, 1986:142). According to Karl Beckson and Arthur Ganz (1990:205), poem is a composition in which rhythmical, and usually metaphorical, language is used to create an aesthetic experience and to make statement which cannot be fully paraphrased in prose. Such elements are usually but not necessary present. Figure of speech is word or words are used to create an effect, often where they don t have the original or literal meaning. If someone says that they are 'starving', they do not mean that they are in fact dying of hunger, but that they are very hungry. This is a simple example of a figure of speech, where the word is used to heighten or increase the state that they are describing / The word imagery derives from Latin, meaning making of likenesses, imagery as general term converse the use of language to represent objects, actions, feeling, thought,
3 ideas, the state of mind and any sensory or extra sensory experience. An image does not necessarily mean a mental picture (Cuddon, 1998:115). The word symbol comes from Greece Symbolus means of something that tell to what it is to someone. Symbol is not a word, but the word that create symbol (Burton, 1973:25). According to Perrine, a symbol maybe defined as something that means more that what it is (Perrine, 1974:628). Perrine said star has a unique meaning and individual value (Perrine, 1969:86). RESEARCH METHOD Descriptive method is a method which is not just only on collecting and arranging the data, but also covers analysis and interpretations of the data (Surachmad, 1975:131). Qualitative method is a method is presented in the form of qualitative and descriptions (Wilkinson, 2000:7). RESULT OF STUDY Table 1.
