Abstract

In order to be human, we must satisfy our needs, which include well-being. People’s level of contentment with their lives is influenced by these needs. The study’s first goal is to learn about Susan Beth’s Life as We Knew It novel, regarding Miranda’s hierarchy of human needs. The second goal is to learn about the effects of meeting Miranda’s needs. The sentence, dialogue, and quote from the novel serve as the source of the data used in this study. The study demonstrates Miranda’s ability to meet all of their requirements, including psychological ones like food, water, sex, and oxygen; safety requirements (personal safety, freedom from fear, and protection); belonging and love (support, friendship, family, and love); needs for self-esteem in the form of respect from others, appreciation, and self-actualization. On the other hand, it provided a synopsis of the effects of meeting the order of human needs. In terms of connotative effects, Miranda gained a sense of belonging and acceptance from others. In terms of cognitive effects, she gained knowledge and integration that will help her skate well. When Miranda encounters difficulties in her life, she exhibits a calmer nature.
