It means that the narrative fiction is a type of literature that describes imaginary people and events, not real or true: existing only in stories. Most of the stories is a product of the author knowledge and experience. Narrative fiction generally favors prose for the writing of novels, and short stories. Narrative fiction tells about some kinds of the problem of human life, such as: the human interactions to themselves, to others/environment, and to their God.

The people view about moral, values, beliefs, generally influenced the way of life their society(Nurgiyantoro 2010:321). The way of life and value both of them are the one of substance of culture. Values are beliefs about what is right and what is important in life. It means the values are something good, considered something that very important of society. Values are the principles people use when determining what they feel is right, wrong, bad or good. While the way of life is values that accept and select by personal or societies. It means the human behavior not opposite with norm, religion, social and law. The values people use are often relations with a system beliefs called moral. Moral is comes from the Latin word mores,

Therefore, customs and traditions of societies became to the standards people have when differentiating between right and wrong and good and bad. Morals are beliefs and values that conform to normal standards of what is right and wrong which deal with people’s habits of conduct.

CHAPTER II REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
In this chapter, the writer would like to explore about review of related literature that consists of Definition of Moral values, and The Kinds of Moral Values.
A. The Definition of moral values Talking about morals, we can’t separated with beliefs and values. Morals, values, and beliefs are the terms that refer to the ways people think, behave and react. Morals, values, and beliefs have the same meaning, however they has a separate meaning of its own. Each terms builds upon the other terms, beginning with beliefs. Values are a type of belief, and morals are a type of value. A.1. Beliefs Belief is a strong feeling that something/somebody exist or true: confidence that something/somebody is good or right. Something that we believe, especially as part of our religion(Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary:1948). Beliefs are conclusions, assumptions and explanations
people
use
to make
sense
of
their
experiences.
Generally, beliefs are ways of thinking that are ignored in a person by repetitive thinking and reacting to situations.

A.2. Values
Children learn about what is right and wrong, good or bad from their parents and other members of the family. They learn everything they need such as learn how to eat good, how to speak, how to act etc. when they grow up they will have interacting with others
who
is
not
usually
a
member
of
the
family
like
neighborhoods and societies. Children must be enable to conform with them and able to adaptations with environment in where they live. Children needs socialization in order to know how they should act in the middle of societies and cultural environments. Finally we learn about values since when we still young until now, we grow and learn from the experience. Studying
a
culture
it
means
studying
values
people,
its
something ideas of life that are they want. If we give expression to values people, we are studying about them because values is the standard people to distinguish between right and wrong, guidance our choices and identify what is important in life. In the other word values are the types belief a person has regarding to distinguish between right and wrong, good and bad. Values are considered the fundamental beliefs of people, it means that the values are the collections of attitude, feeling or belief of good and bad, right and wrong, noble and contemptible, and what are the
8
important and unimportant. Values people have included things such as honesty, consistent, responsible, optimism, self confident, cheerful, compassion, integrity, courage, fairness, and respect
A.3. Morals Moral from the Latin word mos the plurals is mores its means the custom or ways of life. Discusses about morals usually refer to ethics, ethics and morals are has same meaning, but in the daily life there are some differences. Morals or morality use to measure which valued happening, while ethics use to studying of system value that well done. Suseno(1987:14) differentiating between tenet of moral and ethic. Ajaran moral adalah wejangan-wejangan, khotbah-khotbah, patokan-patokan, kumpulan peraturan dan ketetapan, entah lisan atau tertulis, tentang bagaimana manusia harus hidup dan bertindak agar ia menjadi manusia yang baik. Sumber langsung ajaran moral bagi kita adalah pelbagai orang dalam kedudukan yang berwenang, seperti orang tua dan guru, para pemuka masyarakat dan agama, dan tulisan-tulisan para bijak. Etika bukan sumber tambahan bagi ajaran moral, tetapi filsafat atau pemikiran kritis dan mendasar tentang ajaran dan pandangan moral. Etika adalah ilmu, bukan sebuah ajaran. Jadi etika dan ajaran moral tidak berada ditingkat yang sama. Yang mengatakan bagaimana harus hidup, bukan etika melainkan moral. From the quotation above
its to show that the morals refer to the
tenet of right and wrong, good and bad which generally or society acceptance. Therefore, customs and traditions of societies became to the standard people have when differentiating between good and bad behavior.
9
While the ethics is the science and its not tenet, so the standard differentiating of good and bad is the human mind. Ethic is more theoretical characteristic, while the moral is practical characteristic.
A.4. Moral Values Moral values are beliefs and values people that conform to normal standards of what is right and wrong and deal with people habits of conduct. The standard of the moral values is difference between one society and other society. The difference standards of morals and ethics is on the basic of determining or standards measure right and wrong that used. be based on customs or agreement that dealing with society. If the society regard that the some behavior is a good so its also good for their values. Finally, the characteristic standards of morals and ethics is local and temporal. On the view Islamic religion, moral values is expressions of heart through the actions of human being, the standard of moral values is Alqur’an and Hadist/Sunnah. Therefore, a good moral values is considered motivation from of people belief, because of the beliefs must to shows in daily activity.
B. The Kinds of Moral Values Moral values is the standards good or bad behavior, it is common with ways people thinks and actions. When the peoples do
10
something usually getting reactions from others people.
Positive
attitude usually getting a good reactions from others. According to Nurgiyantoro(2010:323-324). Jenis ajaran moral itu sendiri dapat mencakup masalah, yang boleh dikatakan, bersifat tak terbatas. Ia dapat mencakup seluruh persoalan hidup dan kehidupan, seluruh persoalan yang menyangkut harkat dan martabat manusia. Secara garis besar persoalan hidup dan kehidupan manusia itu dapat dibedakan kedalam persoalan hubungan manusia dengan diri sendiri, hubungan manusia dengan manusia lain dalam lingkup social termasuk hubunganya dengan lingkungan alam, dan hubungan manusia denganTuhannya. From the quotation above the moral tenet is related with the some interactions between human to themselves or the person to her/himself, human to others people and environment, and the interactions of the human to their God. Persoalan manusia dengan dirinya sendiri dapat bermacammacam jenis dan tingkat intensitasnya. Hal itu tentu saja tidak lepas dari kaitannya dengan persoalan hubungan antarsesama dan dengan Tuhan. Pemisahan itu hanya untuk memudahkan pembicaraan saja( Nurgiyantoro,2010:324).
According to quotation above, the writer making conclusion about the kinds of moral values. In other word the kinds of morals such as individual moral, social moral, and religion moral, the explanation is the below :
11
1. Individual Moral is the attitude of the human to him/herself, its means that human has the right to make their decisions and spirit to do something or actions. 2. Social Moral is the attitude of the human to others consider the environment, include action to help, paid of promise, compassion, care etc. The personal freedom limited of the social freedom so, the relationships between personal and social its very closed because when the person takes actions usually get the reactions from the others. Finally, as the human that life in society we should respect each others. 3. Religion Moral is the attitude of the human to God which can they show in daily activity, it means that all the activity are connected with the worship of them.

A. Research Method Research method on the basically is a scientific method of data analysis. It means that the scientific is the manner to get data which have the functions and purposes. Discusses about method always related with methodology, both
of
them
often

While the methodology can also called science of method, it means that the methodology is the science which study about manners, ways or practical guideline on the research, so the research methodology study theory concept of various method.

15
16
A.1.1 Discipline When we have expectation in anything we needs, we must control the way our behave and make ourselves do things that we believe we should do. We are the leaders of ourselves, we must leads ourselves to do something which have the best values. tentulah Aku beruntung………………Berapa ratus malam sepi yang aku habiskan sampai dini hari untuk mengasah kemampuanku, belajar, membaca, menulis, dan berlatih tanpa henti(R 1 M, 2013:08).
From the quotation above, Alif Fikri disciplined himself to exercise his abilities
in
learning,
reading,
writing,
and
nonstop
improving
his
knowledge. “Sus, jangan matikan dulu, masih mau baca nih.”kataku sambil mengambil buku TOEFL………aku selalu merasa harus membaca sebelum tidur(R 1 M, 2013: 109).

He always do something perfectly to get the best result. we should like him in order to succeed and discipline in everything, such as discipline in works, daily activity, and discipline in time management.
A.1.2. Confidence One of the factors that helps human to confident is a good self concept. The self concept influential in behavior, if the self concept said that he/she was able to be in love, respected, succeed and was able to do
17
things, so their behavior show what it same with their self concept. On the contrary if the self concept said that he/she was not able to be in love and respected, failed and was not able to do things, so their behavior show anything which same with their self concept. Finally we should be sure about our abilities to do thing and be successful. Kami bersalaman dengan sentakan keras……….. Dadaku terbakar rasa kesal. Lihat saja nanti. Aku akan mengalahkan Randai. Persaingan yang panas tapi sehat. Fastabiqul khairat, berlombalomba menuju kebaikan(R 1 M, 2013:28). From the quotation above, he doesn’t like the conditions and he willing to do things and makes one decision to be winner in everything. He very trust in his abilities to do it and very confident to defeat his friend. “saya yakin kemampuan saya besar, tapi belum tertantang saja. Beberapa minggu ini saya mulai bosan dengan rutinitas……… ”oke siap Mas. Saya akan berjuang habis-habisan.”(R 1 M, 2013:114). From the quotation above he doesn’t like something monotone and bore in routines activity. He willing to do things that have a great challenge. He very trust in his abilities to do it then make others believe in and be sure about his abilities and qualities, in both of work place or friendships world.
A.1.3. Self-respect and Bravery Before we share our love to others we must love ourselves, because who don’t know how to love themselves they can’t love others. We needs

We are independent people which very intelligent or smart, we don’t let others people lower ourselves or makes ourselves unappreciated. We are a good person when we can handle situations and brave to take risk from the taken of decisions. Aku berpikir keras bagaimana cara menjawab pertanyaan tanpa berbohong, tapi juga tidak merendahkan harkatku didepan mereka. “Aku masih menunggu hasil beberapa wawancara. Sementara itu aku terus menulis,”kataku(R 1 M, 2013:27). From the quotation above, he still keeps his honesty although he have difficult situations. He doesn’t let others people lower him because he have high self-esteem and he is a courageous person. ”ayo panggil orangnya sekarang!” suaranya makin tinggi. Lengannya tanpa segan sudah terjulur ke dalam pagar. Intimidasi fisik tampaknya sudah dimulai. Aku punya pilihan, bisa mengaku akulah orangnya, atau bilang kalau Alif Fikri sedang keluar. Aku ragu-ragu. Tapi Kiai Rais pernah bilang, jangan takut pada manusia. Dunia itu rata, di atas langit, di bawah tanah. Semua sama. Kenapa takut?(R 1 M, 2013:36).
From the quotation above, he dare say it to his guest and he still keep his honesty. He has high self-esteem and he doesn’t like the other people lower him. His beliefs that all the people that live in the world is on the same level, so don’t be afraid. Seperti pesilat ulung, aku meloncat secepat kilat ke dalam kabin jipnya. Duduk di samping Jenderal Broto di jok kulit gelap ini…………. Aku coba tarik napas panjang sabil mengingat nasihat Kiai Rais dulu , “jangan takut pada manusia. Yang membatasi kita atas dan bawah itu Cuma langit dan tanah.”(R 1 M, 2013:119).

neighborhoods
and
person
who

relations
with
us
as
personality and general society. “Oke Mas,” jawabku senang. Aku pegang erat-erat kertas penugasan pertamaku ini. Sepertinya penugasan ini tidak sulit. Hanya mengikuti rapat dan konferensi pers lalu wawancara dengan beberapa pajabat pemerintah dan pemenang tender. Tugasku yang menantang adalah mengendus kalau modus korupsi di balik proyek(R 1 M, 2013:59).
From quotation above , he was very responsible for himself to finish his duties. His responsibility is not only for himself but also for his boss. He was know about what he do and always accept his duties happily. Setelah dua minggu menjadi doctor, aku menerima gaji pertama. Untuk pertama kali dalam hidup aku mendapatkan gaji yang langsung ditransfer ke rekeningku. Dalam sekejap Rp 1.250.000 habis aku bagi-bagi, untuk Amak, adik-adik, utang, biaya makan, dan membeli sepotong pantalon dan kemeja…………….Hari ini aku tunaikan kembali tugasku yang sempat tertunda sebagai anak laki-laki dan kakak tertua: membantu mereka secara financial, sesuai kemampuanku(R 1 M, 2013:69).
