Despite having to stay at home for the last year of by far my best years in life due to pandemic, it is because of Him that I could reach this far. I would also like to express my gratitude to my thesis advisor, Drs. Hirmawan Wijanarka M.Hum. for his patience and assistance throughout the process of creating this thesis. Thank you very much, Sir. I could not forget my co- advisor as well, Elisabeth Oseanita Pukan. S.S., M.A., for the insight and guidance that she has given to me. Thank you very much, Ma’am. My gratitude also goes to both of my parents and my sister for supporting me. If it were not for them, I would not have been here in this amazing university to complete my education, let alone to finish my thesis. Thank you, you three. Lastly, I must not forget my friends to whom I have been grateful for, too. Deva, Dea, Kat, Ninja, Sasha, Vinska, Ryan, Vinsen, Ilham, and others who have been there that I cannot mention one by one. Being friends with all of you has been both a pleasure and the best thing to ever happen in my life. I wanted to say this a bit earlier, but never found the opportunity. Thank you for the support and for everything else.
