CHAPTER II THE RESEARCH METHOD
2.1 The Method of Study
In analyzing the poems, I use the library research and am done based on that poem itself and supported by much information and opinions given by the previous
researcher about the poet and his works. Data are collected from library research, by using the poems themselves as the primary sources; opinion and criticism from earlier
investigator as well as biography of Robert Frost are included as secondary sources. It is applied by reading and studying some books concerned with the topic of the
problem. As Nawawi 1991:30 says: “Penelitian Kepustakaan Library Research, kegiatan penelitian ini dilakukan
dengan menghimpun data dari berbagai literature, baik di perpustakaan maupun di tempat – tempat lain. Literature yang dipergunakan tidak terbatas
hanya pada buku – buku, tetapi dapat juga berupa bahan – bahan dokumentasi, majalah – majalah, koran – koran, dll.”
There are three methods of collecting the data; they are interview, observation, and analysis on written documents such as quotation, notes, memorandum, publication
and official reports, diaries, and written answer to questioner and survey. Since the data of this analysis are collected from Robert Frost’s poems so I
decided that the method of collecting the data using analysis on written documents. Then, as the sample of the analysis, five poems of Robert Frost are taken by applying
purposive sample method as proposed by Sutopo 2006:64:

“karena pengambilan cuplikannya didasarkan atas berbagai pertimbangan tertentu, maka pengertiannya sejajar dengan jenis teknik cuplikan yang dikenal
sebagai purposive sampling, dengan kecendrungan peneliti untuk memilih informannya berdasarkan posisi dengan akses tertentu yang dianggap memiliki
informasi yang berkaitan dengan permasalahannya secara mendalam dan dapat dipercaya untuk menjadi sumber data yang mantap.”
