CHAPTER III METHODOLOGY
3.1 Research Method of the Analysis
In completing this thesis, I am performing the descriptive qualitative method. The method is applied by describing the data and analyzing them, related to the focus of analysis. According
to Bogdan and Biklen in their book entitled Qualitative Research for Education: an Introduction to Theory and Method 1982:2, Qualitative research may be used either as the primary strategy
for data collection, or in conjunction with observation, document analysis or other techniques. There are several steps in applying this method. The first step is collecting the books
which relate to the religiosity. The second step is reading the collected books, including journals, notes and relevant sources to the thesis. The next step is quoting the data and describing them
into the analysis. The analysis will be performed by explaining the religiosity which can be found in a novel entitled Uncle Tom’s Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe .
