This study examines the poems of Boris Pasternak, the famed Russian literary figure. It analyzes and compares the poet's works with those of his contemporaries and predecessors’. Some motifs, themes, images, and characteristic features of the stylistics and tropics of poetic creativity in Pasternak's lyrics were revealed, which signify the influence of traditions and innovation. By employing several literary criticism methods, namely those of close reading, a structuralist analysis, and biographical criticism, this study found that there is a wealth of themes both old and new in Pasternak’s poetry. These themes were mostly derived from past authors, which confirm the findings of Baróthy (2015), Han (2015), and Polivanova & Polivanov (2018). These themes were then reconstructed in Pasternak’s works in a way that signify these works as a celebration of the old and the welcoming of the new in the Russian literary tradition. This study has cemented Boris Pasternak’s role as a hub linking the old and the new generations in Russian literature.

Pandemi mengubah jalannya sekolah kita. Semua kelas tatap muka tradisional diubah menjadi kelas dalam jaringan. Hal ini mempersulit perencanaan pendidikan yang sangat baik untuk mata kuliah berbasis praktik, karena mata kuliah ini mengandalkan fasilitas laboratorium untuk meningkatkan kemampuan siswa. Oleh karena itu, pelayanan sosial kepada 24 guru SD menjadi penting melalui pemanfaatan platform dalam jaringan, khususnya Google Meet. Oleh karena itu, tujuan dari makalah ini adalah untuk mempelajari tentang proses pengajaran penggunaan Google Meet selama pandemi Covid-19, serta untuk menilai pendapat instruktur tentang pelatihan dan penggunaan platform ini. Penulis menggunakan paradigma kualitatif untuk menggambarkan metode pembelajaran dan menentukan pendapat instruktur tentang pelatihan menggunakan observasi lapangan dan survei. Berdasarkan observasi lapangan yang terdokumentasi, presenter kursus menggunakan Google Meet untuk diskusi konten. Menurut survey ini, 73,62 persen responden lebih memilih mode pembelajaran dalam jaringan karena minimnya masalah yang dihadapi. Menariknya, temuan kuesioner mengungkapkan 81,95 persen persepsi yang baik tentang penggunaan pelbagai platform selama sesi. Ini memiliki potensi untuk menjadi peningkatan yang signifikan untuk kuliah dalam jaringan di semua konteks.

Pramoedya Ananta Toer's novel, Child of All Nations, tells the story of Minke, an upper-class Javanese living under Dutch occupation. In this second book of the Buru Quartet series, Minke must come to terms with his allegiance and identity in the colonial world. This article examines Child of All Nations in order to reveal the portrayal of hybridity in Minke's characterization. Using Bhabha's hybridity theory (1994) and Rimmon-Kenan's character classification and characterization (2002), this study found that Minke is a hybrid character with complexity, development and open insights of his inner world. He shapes his hybridity through experience, study, and the act of accepting himself, something that is considered hard to do in the colonial era, especially for the colonized people. In this way, Minke is a unique hybrid character.
