Authors:Putri Rahma Aulia Azizah, Yasmin Farani, Dewi Kusumowati Abstract: As a part of linguistic, figurative language is always interesting to be studied since it is used in daily life as well. For examples it is applied in literary works (i.e., poetry) and music (i.e., songs). The aims of this study, first, is to analyze the use of figurative language on Xavier’s memes and second, to interpret their meaning. In this study, the researchers chose one of the branches of figurative language which is called irony and merely focus on sarcasm, as the verbal type of irony. As this is qualitative research, mostly, the researchers do library research, including online browsing. This anonymous person called Xavier is often featured in memes, pictures, and videos uploaded by a lot of people at 9gag platform; a social media website allowing users to upload and share user-generated content, including memes, funny pictures, and videos. It happens that Xavier is popular for his sarcastic comment memes uploaded in 9gag and they mostly roast or mock other’s content in funny ways. The finding shows that most of Xavier's sarcastic comment memes use propositional, like-prefixed, and lexical; for examples: (1) Like Tiktokers – like-prefixed sarcasm, (2) First man to win an argument against a woman – lexical sarcasm.

Authors:Rastia Fadhillah Abstract: This study looks into the most common errors made by students in first grade at SMA 70 when writing narratives, particularly when using the simple past tense. To look into and analyze the mistakes made by the students, the study uses a qualitative descriptive methodology. Samples of first-grade student' narrative writing were used to gather data. The investigation found that 67% of all errors were caused by misformation through analysis. These grammatical mistakes reveal a lack of knowledge and expertise in employing the proper forms of the simple past tense. The results of this study provide information about the precise areas in which students have difficulty when writing narratives, particularly when it comes to verb tense. By having aware of these typical mistakes, teachers can create specific instructional strategies to aid students in developing their narrative writing abilities and advancing their command of the simple past tense.

Starting from the most frequently occurring they were overstatement/hyperbole, metaphor, personification, simile, paradox, metonymy, and allegory. Overstatement/hyperbole was the most commonly found in advertisements among those types of figurative language. The use of this type can give an impression and influence to the readers; therefore, it is often used to describe the exaggerated quality of the product. Furthermore, the use of figurative language is one way to improve writing in advertising, using figures of speech can make the memorability of advertising sentences, creates imagination, makes sentences more meaningful, and most importantly increases the interest of the reader.
