Abstract

This study entitled Darcy Archer as a Mind-wanderer in Melissa Hill’s A Gift to Remember. It discusses mind wandering portrayed in Darcy. The objectives of this study are mainly to analyze the symptoms of mind wandering, and to find out how the mind wandering affects Darcy and her surrounding based on the symptoms that appear in the novel. Mind wandering can shift one’s problem-solving efforts to unconscious processing, which has been theorized to facilitate new associations and combinations of existing knowledge. Mind- wandering can be defined as a special case of spontaneous thought that tends to be more-deliberately constrained than dreaming, but less-deliberately constrained than creative thinking and goal-directed thought. This study uses qualitative method. The writer uses psychological approach to analyze the data. The psychological approach is suitable for this study as the focus of this study is on the psychological condition of Darcy in the novel. The analysis shows that the symptoms of mind wandering portrayed in Darcy are lack of awareness, lack of attention, risky behavior in activities, and mostly her inability to focus. The symptoms of mind wandering portrayed in Darcy affect her and surrounding. A man named Aidan Harris suffered temporary amnesia due to an accident caused by Darcy. Keywords: mind wandering, unconscious, spontaneous thought.
