Abstrak
This final project is a study of ambitions in
life, especially of womans. Ambition is just
part of what makes up a human being. It is a
powerful force and this force always spurs people
on and motivates them to move through challenges i
n life and go after the things they value.
The object of this study is a song lyric entitled
Ive Never been to Me by Charlene. I
choose the lyric as my research object because it
explores much about women's desires in life. It
is also very useful for us since we can learn more
about human problems and difficulties,
especially problems that are faced by women in the
world. There are two statements of the problems i
n this study (1) How are woman ambitions to
get the truth described in the lyric I've Never
been to Me?, and (2) What is the correlation of
the content of the lyric with the feminist followe
rs?. This study is a qualitative research therefo
re, the data are in the form of meanings as
drawn from the texts. Thus, the technique means
to take words, phrases, and sentences in the text
which are relevant to my idea and they are
explicated. I did a close reading to know and
understand the content of the texts. In doing
close reading, I firstly read the texts carefully
to understand the deep meaning of the texts. The s
econd was identifying the deep meanings as the
raw data. The third was observing the raw data
and correlated it with the feminism approach to
reveal the answers to the problems of the study.
The song lyric Ive Never been to Me shows that
modern life or womens liberation tries
to change women into a better position, they are
fighting to get the similar rights as men in
order to pursue their freedom of life although it
doesnt always guarantee ones happiness. As we
can see in Charlenes song lyric, the speaker fina
lly realizes if having an exiting, extraordinary,
and free life may cost too much. She has missed ou
t on the really important things that would have
made her happy the love of a man and having child
ren. From the elaboration above, I conclude that w
omen may live in emptiness and without
purposes lost the real happiness which they
would have accomplished if they had not been
lured by the false ideas of being free in order to
find the truth in their life. In fact, having a
family, being a housewife and a mother doesnt mea
n that a woman doesnt fight for her rights. They
are also regarded as feminist followers. It is bec
ause they can work seriously to take care of
their children and their family well to build a ha
ppy family.
