review or debriefing is the review of the data and research process by someone who is familiar with the research or the phenomenon being investigated. A peer
reviewer provides support, challenges the researchers assumptions, pushes the researchers to the next step methodologically, and asks difficult questions about
methods and interpretations Lincoln and Guba in Creswell and Miller, 2000: 129. By seeking the assistance of peer reviewers, the researcher added credibility
to the research. The researcher was assisted by two English Language and Literature Program students majoring in Literature to check the research. More
importantly, the researcher also discussed her analysis with her first and second consultants, Bapak Drs Sugi Iswalono, M.A and Bapak Rachmat Nurcahyo, M.A.
to gain greater accuracy and validity of the research.
F. Data Analysis Technique
Creswell and Miller 2009: 185 mentions that there are six steps in data analysis: organizing and preparing the data, reading the data, coding and
categorizing the data, giving data a description, interrelating description and interpreting the meaning. The researcher analyzed the data following Creswell’s
data analysis procedures in order to accomplish the researcher’s objectives. The six steps to analyze the data are explained below:
1. The first is organizing and preparing the data by preparing the primary source
of the research, Suzanne Collins’ The Hunger Games.
2. The second is reading, rereading, and highlighting the data which consists of
words, phrase, clauses, and sentences taken from the primary source of the research.
3. The third is categorizing the relevant data based on categories.
4. The fourth is sorting the relevant data and giving the data a description.
1. The fifth is making the interrelation between the description of the data
and Marx’s theory of ideology; and the background of Collins’ The Hunger Games to get the finding based on the objectives: 1 to analyse
how Collins’ The Hunger Games criticizes repressive capitalist ideologies in the 21st century of the U.S., and 2 to identify the prominent capitalist
culture in the 21st century of the U.S. being criticized in Collins’ The Hunger Games.
5. The last step is making an interpretation of the findings based on the theory.
