1 1 CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION A. Background of the Problem A literature work is not only imaginative but it also can be as the actual reflection of human life. Human life aspects such as religion, economy, and social are delivered implicitly or explicitly into a literature work to develop an emotion of the story. Wellek and Warren (1948: 89) states that "Literature imitates life and life is, in a large measure, a social reality eventhough the natural world of the individual have also been objects of literary 'imitation'". In other words, a literary work also can be an artificial world which can reflects a social life of society although there will be an imaginative story of someone s life. A social condition of the society that is formed and expressed then it is developed and presented into a literature work. This literary work is then analyzed in a study of sociology of literature where literature is referred as the reflection of a social condition of society. When We Were Orphans, a contemporary novel by Kazuo Ishiguro, tells about a back-forward-back memories of the main character who has ever lived in China together with his parents as a foreigner from England when he was a small boy in China opium war era.
