2.3 Framework of Analysis
To answer the statements of the problem by analyzing social and political issues and the government‘s control over the society through media, I used sociology of
literature as approach to support my analysis. To answer the problem of statements, I used Sapardi
‘s theory about the relationship between literature and the society to identify social and political issues in the novel. In analyzing the
government ‘ control over the society through media, I used Faruk‘s theory that
states social life as same as literary work Sapardi ‘s theory that focuses on the
relationship between media and literature. To support the data, I used some references such as Faruk‘s Pengantar Sosiologi Sastra, and Damono‘s Sosiologi
Sastra. By using those references, I identified how the novel reflects the goverment control over the society through media, so the statement of the
problems is able to be answered.

CHAPTER III RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
This chapter discusses about research methodology. It consists of four sub chapters. They are research design, instruments, technique of collecting the data,
and technique of analyzing the data.
3.1 Research Design
The object of this study is The Hunger Games, a science fiction novel by American author Suzanne Collins, so the writer will use qualitative research. The
data were in the forms of sentences and dialogues carrying explicit and implicit meanings. According to Cresswell 1994, a qualitative study is defined as an
inquiry process of understanding a social or human problem, based on building a complex, holistic picture, formed with words, reporting detailed views of
informants, and conducted in a natural setting. Qualitative research is looking through at people words, actions and records. Qualitative research is used to
discover patterns which emerge after close observation, careful documentation, and thoughtful analysis of the research topic.
Denzin and Lincoln 1994 define qualitative research as multi-method in focus, involving an interpretive, naturalistic approach to its subject matter. It
means qualitative researchers study things in their natural settings, attempting to make sense of or interpret phenomena in terms of the meanings people bring to
them. Qualitative research involves empirical materials such as personal experience, introspective, life story interview, observational, historical,
interactional, and visual texts-that describe routine and problematic moments and meaning in individuals lives.
Qualitative research is used in this study due to several reasons. First, the source of the data is a novel which is full of description and dialogues, not
numbers. Second, this study focuses on social life, so description and dialogues show daily experience is constructed through social interaction.
