The people who lifted me up when I fell down, pushed me forward when I got left behind, pulled me out when I remained stuck, enlightened me when I was confused, were there when I needed them the most, made me special when I felt unworthy, and encouraged me when I was afraid to take the terribly hardest steps in life. And also to the ones who stopped believing in me or never did; I dedicate this as a proof that I always find a way to pursue my dreams. This is for you too. viii PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First of all, my highest praises be to Almighty God, the source of all things, who never abandons me through joy and sadness. The One who is always there although not seen, guiding me all the way and in every way. It is because of Him, this undergraduate thesis has become possible. My next gratitude definitely goes to the two people whom God has given His divine trust to provide me with affection and materials in achieving my dreams, who are no other than my beloved parents, Anna and Jimmy Shannon, and not forgetting to mention my third parent and caretaker Paulus Souhuwat for helping me in any way he can. I thank my big sister Catherine Shannon who have been supporting me and checking on me now and then to make sure everything is okay. My thanks also go to my daughter Sally Angelina whose existence has taught me the true meaning of love and patience. I give my thanks to all the staff of English Letters Department of Sanata Dharma University who cannot be mentioned one by one, especially my HMPS and thesis advisor, Hirmawan Wijanarka, M.Hum. for his patience and kindness in guiding me and helping me make this undergraduate thesis real. I also thank my academic and thesis co-advisor Elisa Dwi Wardani S.S., M.Hum for her willingness to review my undergraduate thesis and give suggestions in order to improve my writing. I also thank Tatang Iskarna, S.S., M.Hum. for his guidance throughout the early years in university as my academic advisor. I thank ix PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI him for giving me a chance to prove myself to be the better person I promised to be. I would like to give my thanks at the top of my lungs to my long best friends who have been supporting me from afar: Maria Ajeng, Nathaniel Suryadinata and Gerarda Agriveta. I thank them for their comfort and unconditional love through the good, bad and random times. My special thanks also go to my university buddies whom I know I can count on: Tan Michael, Patrick Antonio, Christiana Megastra and Stephanus Edy. The last but not least, I would like to express my love and thanks to Aditya Kurniawan for making me whole and being there by my side at times when I needed him the most. May God bless everyone who has helped me complete my studies and undergraduate thesis. They all have a special place in my heart.
