This study aims to analyze aspects of creative thinking in the Collection Short Stories Monkeys, Dogs, and Ginkgo Trees by Jasni Matlani. This study was conducted to identify aspects of creative thinking and as well as apply creative thinking based on SPB4L Theory. In this study, the researcher used the Theory SBP4L Integrated Thinking System (Upper, Born, Logic, and Lateral) by Yusof Hassan. Based on this theory, noble thinking as well as logical thinking is a thought that is often associated with storytelling. Noble thinking is a spiritual aspect of life. Meanwhile, logical thinking, on the other hand, emphasizes the facts and an event that happened to form history in life. In addition, the researcher limited the study by studying a total of 5 stories in a group of short stories. This work was chosen as the study material because it contains elements of identity, pure values, and community life that are described to non-human beings. The analysis of this study found that the creative thinking aspect is used as best as possible by the author. This study revolves around the personal patterns of society itself and is shown through non-human characters and history through stories in the Collection Short Story of Monkeys, Dogs, and Gingko Trees. In conclusion, this study not only shows the creativity and perseverance of the artist but also can see the adaptation between human values with the SPB4L theoretical approach.
