Personalization
From the conversation it can be inferred that Tom is
an emotional person; he gets angry when Summer said that his action was not
needed. Then he can’t control his emotion like in the 14th line. Tom
also an active person because Tom takes floor immediately after Summer said
like in 2nd, 4th, 6th, and 8th line.
While Summer is an ignorance person, she does not
cares about Tom’s feelings, she just want to enjoy their togetherness without
clear status. It can be seen in the 15th line. She also a dilemmatic
person, she needs to think for a few second to answer Tom’s question as in 16th
line “I like you, Tom. I just don't want a relationship”.
Analysis
The conversation begins from man
namely Tom and his girl namely Summer entered the room of the apartment in the
night. They were from the pub. Tom came with hold a plastic of ice to compress
his cheek, and Summer came with handed a hand bag and cardigan. Just right
after Tom opened the door, they start to loud arguing. They are talking about an incident in the
pub. When they were in the pub, Tom got
punch right on his cheek by Summer’s friend namely John. Tom got punch because
he start to smash John first then Jon smashes him back. Tom did it because he
can’t accept Jon’s statement about him which is humiliated Tom.
From the conversation above, Tom
gets angry because Summer clarify that there is nothing special in their
relationship. Summer thinks that their relationship is just friend. While Tom
doesn’t agree with Summer’s opinion.
Tom’s disagreement is reflected in the 14th as supported as
in his stressing tone “NO, Don't pull that with me!” which implies that Tom is
completely disagree with Summer’s opinion then getting angry.
In this conversation, overlap
occurs when Summer said “You were so completely, completely uncool in there” in
5th line, and at the same time Tom reply immediately by answer
“Wait. Are you mad at me? I just got my ass kicked for you” in 6th line. Summer’s utterance has the form a statement, the function is as the complaint to Tom. While Tom’s utterance has the form as question and has function as the expression of anger to Summer’s utterance.
“Wait. Are you mad at me? I just got my ass kicked for you” in 6th line. Summer’s utterance has the form a statement, the function is as the complaint to Tom. While Tom’s utterance has the form as question and has function as the expression of anger to Summer’s utterance.
In this conversation also there is
a lengthening as in number 1, Tom’s last word was lengthened for 3 seconds and
it has function to give emphasize about the conversation. Then in 10th
line and 16th line, there are pauses. In 10th Tom pauses
his statement for 14 seconds and it has function to think more about what he
will say by exhaling. While in 16th line Summer pauses his statement
for 6 seconds and it has function to rethink about the Tom’s answer.
