THE ANALYSIS OF THE INTRINSIC ELEMENTS OF THE NOVEL IF I STAY BY GAYLE FORMAN

Literature (from Latin litterae (plural); letter) is the art of written work, and is not confined to published sources (although, under some circumstances, unpublished sources can also be exempt). Roberts (1993: 1) says that literature also refers to compositions that tell stories, dramatize situations, express emotions, and analyze and advocate ideas. Before the invention of writing, literary works were necessarily spoken or sung, and were retained only as long as living people performed them. From the statement concluded that there are 3 kinds of literature, namely: (1) novel (a work of prose fiction written in the narrative, usually in the form of stories), (2) drama (literature designed to be performed by actors who played works of art orally among the players (dialogue)), (3) poetry (expresses a conversation or interchange that is grounded in the most deeply felt experiences of human beings)
Usually, those three are classed as imaginative literature. The genres of imaginative literature have much in common, but they also have distinguishing characteristics. Prose fiction, or narrative fiction, includes myths, parables, romances, novels, and short stories. The writer specially wants to analyze the novel. In novel, there are elements of the building called the intrinsic elements. Which include intrinsic elements, namely : theme, plot, characters, setting and point of view.

Nurgiyantoro (2005:11) says that novel can freely express something, to present something more, more detailed and more involving many complex problems. This includes various the story elements that build the novel.
