Triangulation is necessary to make sure that the research and the data are original and different compared to other researches. By using triangulation, the data in the research become reliable and credible to trust and to read by other people. To make the data become reliable and credible in this research, triangulation was done by the researcher. Two students majoring English Language and Literature study program have done the triangulation by checking and rechecking the data. The researcher chooses these students because they were taking literature concentration who have the same knowledge which are in line with the topic of this research. To reach minimum mistakes in this research, the researcher was regularly consulted to the researcher’s advisors about the content including the data, method and theory in this research.
