Abstract :
The writer found there were three kinds of idiom and fifty one
idioms were used by Stephanie Newton in her novel “Point Blank Protector”.
They were Pure Idiom, such as, just in case, no wonder, shake off etc., Semi Idiom
such as, find out, back off, make sure etc. and Literal Idiom such as, at first, knock
on, turn off etc.. In addition, the writer also described the meaning of the idiom
that used by the author in the novel.
As conclusion, this thesis argues that Stephanie Newton used three kinds
of idiom in her novel “Point Blank Protector” and this thesis also implicates to tell
people how many kinds of idiom and to give understanding about the idiom, as a
result, no more misunderstanding and conception about the idiom among the
reader. Beside, this thesis can stimulate the students of English and Literature
Department to learn more about idiomatic expression.
