Abstract

The purpose of this analysis is to expose the issue of overcoming life hardships in the novel Family Life (2014) by Akhil Sharma. The issue of overcoming life hardships refers to the types of life hardships that the immigrants face and efforts that the immigrants take to overcome the life hardships from the main character’s perspective. This analysis looks on the hardships of all the characters inside the novel which are having brain-damaged family member and having alcoholic family member. The two efforts that the characters make to overcome the hardships are accepting the condition of brain-damaged family member and helping the alcoholic member to sober. This analysis is related to the concept of life instinct which proposed by Sigmund Freud. The use of the concept is based on the interpretation of text and context of the novel. This analysis also uses a lot of fictional devices such as character, plot, and setting to reveal the meaning. The result of the study shows that the characters have desire to solve their problems and they are also persistent and strong even though they find another problem to solve.

在阿希尔·夏尔马的小说《家庭生活》中克服家庭困难

本分析的目的是揭露Akhil Sharma的小说《家庭生活》(2014)中克服生活困难的问题。克服生活困难的问题是指移民所面临的生活困难的类型以及移民为克服生活困难所做的努力。这一分析着眼于小说中有脑损伤家庭成员和有酗酒家庭成员的所有人物的苦难。主人公为克服困难所做的两项努力是接受脑损伤的家庭成员的状况和帮助酗酒的成员戒酒。这种分析与西格蒙德·弗洛伊德提出的生命本能概念有关。概念的运用是基于对小说文本和语境的解读。这种分析还使用了许多虚构的手段，如人物、情节和背景来揭示意义。研究结果表明，角色有解决问题的愿望，即使他们发现另一个问题需要解决，他们也会坚持不懈，坚强。

期刊介绍： Asiatic is the very first international journal on English writings by Asian writers and writers of Asian origin, currently being the only one of its kind. It aims to publish high-quality researches and outstanding creative works combining the broad fields of literature and linguistics on the same intellectual platform. Asiatic will contain a rich collection of selected articles on issues that deal with Asian Englishes, Asian cultures and Asian literatures in English, including diasporic literature and Asian literatures in translation. Articles may include studies that address the multidimensional impacts of the English Language on a wide variety of Asian cultures (South Asian, East Asian, Southeast Asian and others). Subjects of debates and discussions will encompass the socio-economic facet of the Asian world in relation to current academic investigations on literature, culture and linguistics. This approach will present the works of English-trained Asian writers and scholars, having English as the unifying device and Asia as a fundamental backdrop of their study. The three different segments that will be featured in each issue of Asiatic are: (i) critical writings on literary, cultural and linguistics studies, (ii) creative writings that include works of prose fiction and selections of poetry and (iv) review articles on Asian books, novels and plays produced in English (or translated into English). These works will reflect how elements of western and Asian are both subtly and intensely intertwined as a result of acculturation, globalisation and such.
