The results of the discourse analysis of the novel find that the female character is in the subject position, Kiran as the female character is placed in a position that uses men as revenge for her disappointment towards God and rejects the concept of marriage. In the position of the object, Kiran is shown as a sexual object. In describing the anger of women, the author uses the first-person singular pronoun to describe the figure of a woman who celebrates her body in a domineering way. Based on the results of feminist discourse analysis of the novel, it can be concluded that Kiran represents feminism and masculinity in the theory of gender performativity and the theory of deconstruction. Kiran's character is both a resistance and a critique towards the law and social values that considers not to be in favour of women and also a critique of society's stigma related to gender-based actions.

Teaching materials regarding an official letter of request for permission prepared by students have several mistakes, namely in determining the composition of the official letter. Weak skills in compiling official letters for junior high school (SMP) students are thought to be caused by their low understanding and ability to write official letters.

The number of samples in this study was 60 students. The research instrument used was the official letter writing test. The results showed that generally, the level of ability to write official letters of students was in the sufficient category. So that there needs to be more special attention from the teacher to improve the understanding and ability of junior high school students in compiling official letters based on the structure of the letter.

This study is motivated by several reasons, and one of them is the lack of ecofeminist studies of Indonesian novels. The previous studies focus on novels written by women. Ecofeminist studies of Indonesian novels written by men have not been available so far. The analysis in this study is descriptive with hermeneutic technique of interpretation. This is part of a collective research project in this area. The study leads to a conclusion that Tere Liye’s novel, Si Anak Pemberani, contains some ecofeminist values. The most represented ones in the text are the natural ecofeminist values because there is essential relationship between women and nature. The least represented ones are the spiritualist ecofeminist values because the relationship between spirituality and nature is considered a mystical belief that is no longer relevant in modern society. Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh beberapa hal; salah satunya adalah belum adanya kajian ekofeminisme terhadap novel-novel Indonesia. Penelitian-penelitian yang sudah pernah dilakukan selalu dilakukan terhadap novel-novel yang ditulis oleh pengarang perempuan sementara penelitian ekofeminisme terhadap novel-novel Indonesia yang ditulis oleh laki-laki belum ada. Berdasarkan hal tersebut, masalah yang dideskripsikan dalam penelitian ini adalah “Bagaimanakah perspektif ekofeminis tercermin dalam novel Si Anak Pemberani karya Tere Liye?”. Teori yang digunakan adalah teori ekofeminisme yang meliputi (1) ekofeminisme alam, (2) ekofeminisme spriritualis, dan (3) ekofeminisme sosialis. Penelitian ini bersifat kualitatif dan merupakan penelitian kepustakaan. Metode analisis yang digunakan adalah metode deskriptif yang didukung oleh teknik hermeneutik. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat perspektif ekofeminis dalam novel Si Anak Pemberani karya Tere Liye. Aliran ekofeminisme yang dominan adalah aliran ekofeminisme alam karena pada dasarnya perempuan memiliki kedekatan dengan alam. Aliran yang paling sedikit ditampilkan adalah aliran ekofeminisme spiritualis karena pada zaman sekarang kedekatan secara spiritualis dengan alam dianggap hal mistis yang tidak lagi dipercayai oleh masyarakat.
