Abstrak
Literary works can be used to study phenomena of
lives for they are the tools through which the wri
ters convey the messages and opinions to the
readers about the world surrounding them, and expe
riences or cases that happened to
them. By reading thoroughly, the readers will
find some points to be analysed and
finally grasp the hidden meanings and take
advantages from the knowledge that
the literary works concern about. In this
analysis, the series stories of Nasreddin
are the literary works the author used to convey
his idea about intelligence in reasoning represent
ed by the main character in concerning his
environment. The intelligence in reasoning in the
stories is shown by the action or process of
using the ability of thinking, forming opinions, a
nd producing arguments to solve
problems. The ways that the main character
applied in expressing his intelligence
represent the ways that are usually appeared in
the childrens behaviours in delivering their thou
ghts and feelings. Therefore, the objective of
this study is to describe the childrens intellige
nce in reasoning, the factors, and the function
of intelligence as implied by the main character i
n the stories. In this study, the researcher uses
the qualitative research to reveal the case
comprehensively by analyzing and interpreting all
data through the process of data collection and da
ta analysis. In collecting data, the researcher
took some references from books, dictionary, and w
ebsites. In doing the analysis, the
researcher uses the reader response theory in
which the ideas which best conform
to the text or the text meanings are gained
through the interpretive process done
by the researcher as the reader. After all data
are gathered, the researcher tries to
find the childrens intelligence representation
in the main characters behaviour.
The results of this research indicate that the
stories describe the childrens
intelligence in reasoning through the main
characters behaviour and way of
thinking such as making humour, signalling case
through irony, and applying creativity in solving
the problems that are in accordance with the
childrens intellectual behaviours. The researcher
finds the factors of childrens intelligence
in reasoning and its functions that emphasize
childrens abilities in conforming
themselves to the environments.
In conclusion, reading literary works is such a
beneficial activity for the reader will find the h
idden aspects that the writer wants to convey and
take the notes of the literary works values. In li
ne with the conclusion, the researcher
suggests that the series stories of Nasreddin are
the good stories that can be used
as the materials to be analyzed in the literary
classes in order to enrich the knowledge and get t
he meanings to be applied in the real lives
