Structuralism analysis a final project

2.2. Moral Values 
According to Djibran (2008; 6), moral value is the message conveyed by the 
author through his writings, the deepest meaning of a story that might be a 
solicitation, provocation, and so on. Nurgiyantoro (2008) explains that in 
delivering the moral value of a literary work, the author can express it indirect. 
The message is not conveyed directly by the author, but by the reader’s personal 
interpretation 
Readers can receive even reject actions and utterances of a character in a 
story, where the actions and utterances of the figure contain the implied moral 
value. This is appropriate with Rusyana (2008) which states that the moral value 
is the conclusion that inferred by the reader. From reference above can be 
concluded that moral value is the message conveyed to the reader by giving them 
the freedom to reflect on and take the conclusions of a literary work.

(TAoTS) that was written by Samuel Langhorne 
Clemens (Mark Twain), edited with an introduction and notes by Peter Stoneley 
(2007). The information were collected through reading the novel intensively and 
noting down all the data that is pertinent to this project. This study is conducted 
by analyzing the novel and find other sources that support this research and the 
method used in this research is the structural method.
 
Structuralism viewed literature as a form built comprehensively from 
various developer element. While the study of structuralism emphases on 
functions and relationships between elements that forms a literary work. It is 
obtained by identification, assessing and describing between elements of a literary 
work. Study of a dismantling structuralism and observe the elements forming a 
literary work become a priority thing to do before a researcher stepped up to 
another research (Jabrohim, 2001). (Teeuw, 1984) explains that structuralism is 
a framework built on a few components where an alter in one component 
will influence the others.
