the classroom.
I would also like to thank my family – Mom, for the never-ending love, patience and support you have for me; my dear sister, Rahma, for believing in me;
my cousins, Andin and Galuh, for listening and understanding me through thick

My gratitude also goes to the students of English Lit B 2010 – Caesar, Netta, Novia, Seruni Gita, Arinda, Chinta, Nunik, Rani, Fatih, Nanda Satia, and
Fadhli – for the enjoyable discussions, funny moments and shared jokes in our classroom.Special thanks to Dony, for supporting me all these years through thick
and thin. Thank you for all the laughs and joy, for befriending a person as weird
and quirky and distant as me. Happy tears are coming.
To GGW – Moecthia, Pritania, Bayu, Tian, Aulia and our plus friend, Cynthia – I hope we can stay together until we all have grey hair and walking sticks. I deeply value our friendship, I sure hope you guys feel the same way.
Last but not least, I’m dedicating this thesis to my Dad. I really wish you
