Concerns about the environment have been a big topic of conversation, including in literature. Jostein Gaarder’s novel entitled The World According to Anna addresses this issue. Since environmental perseverance needs to be done collectively, this article analyzes the minor characters' contributions toward the main character’s motivation to preserve the environment. The writers used the theories of motivation and behavior. The New Criticism approach is applied in this study along with the close reading method. The writers found that three (3) minor characters significantly contributed to the main character's motivation in persevering the environment. They were Dr. Benjamin, Jonas, and Nana. Dr. Benjamin, an eccentric psychiatrist, helped Anna provide factual information about the environment and he suggested setting up a pressure group. Jonas as an intelligent student, helped Anna answer her question and propose an idea for the green machine. As a calm and mysterious grandmother, Nana helped Anna by providing an image of a future. In conclusion, the contribution of many people including minor character is needed to preserve environment. In other words, it is a collective movement that needs to be sustained.
