Narrative paradigm from the elements of the stories communicate ‘Independent Living Philosophy’. Particularly, the main characters uphold value of freedom, self-pride, and being religious. On communication tactics, ‘Independent Living Philosophy’ relies on the narrative probability and fidelity. The narrative fidelity rests on explicit values that will lead to the ideal basis for human conduct which is the devotion to others and equitable society.
