---

Social impact in this research refers to the influence of Amanda
Gorman's literary works on society, especially in fighting for values such
as equality, courage and solidarity. Gorman's work not only reflects her
personal experiences, but also has the power to inspire social change and
strengthen human connections at various levels of society.This research
aims to analyze Amanda Gorman's life and thoughts as reflected in
selected poems. This research data comes from the Encyclopedia
Britannica, Amanda Gorman's own website, an exclusive interview with
The Associated Press, Amanda Gorman's poems entitled "The Hill We
Climb" (2021), "An Ode We Owe" (2022), "Chorus of the Captains" (2021).
This research uses qualitative descriptive and sociological theories from
famous writers Wellek and Warren. The novelty in this research lies in the
analysis of Amanda Gorman's poetry by expanding the focus from three
main concepts (Social Background, Ideology, and Social Integrity) to seven
more detailed concepts. The results of this research reveal that Amanda
Gorman's poetry reflects seven main concepts: Personal Struggles and
Triumphs, Urban Experience, Cultural Identity and Heritage, Activism
through Art, Intersectionality of Gender and Race, Community Building,
and Moral and Ethical Advocacy. Gorman draws on her personal
experiences and cultural identity to convey social issues through poetry,
which reinforces messages of solidarity, justice, and change in society.
