In the research, data trustworthiness is important in order to make sure that the data are credible and reliable. To gain the trustworthiness of the data,
triangulation was used in this research. According to Lather in Lincoln and Denzin, 2003: 141, triangulation is a technique of obtaining trustworthiness
through various data sources, methods and theoretical schemes. Triangulation is needed to ensure that the research is original and unique compared to the
other researches. By employing triangulation, the data are reliable and credible for other people.
To achieve the reliability and credibility of the data, the triangulation was done in this research. To do the checking and rechecking of the data, the
triangulation was done by two students majoring English Language and Literature study program. Moreover, they were considered to be capable to do
the triangulation since they take the concentration of literature which was in line with the grand science of this research. Besides, in order to reach the most
minimum mistakes in this research, the data, the method and the theoretical schemes were regularly
consulted to the researcher’s advisors. They were the
ones who helped to check and examine whether the research could be reliable and credible. Therefore, the data reliability and credibility could be achieved.
