Children's Responsibility toward Nature in Roald Dahl's Children's Novels

This research analyzes the issues of natural destruction and children’s responsibility towards nature in two children's novels by Roald Dahl entitled Danny the Champion of the World and The Twits. The writer uses a qualitative method by applying ecocriticism by Greg Garrad. The results of this study show that there are issues of natural destruction; animal abuse and ignorant adults in protecting the environment. Through the issues of natural destruction that depicted in these two novels, Dahl indirectly teaches children to be responsible to take care of and make the best use of animals, respect and be kind to other people, and help others both humans and animals that are in trouble. Dahl conveys the responsibility through these two novels to show that children have an important role in saving nature from destruction
