3. Mrs. Dra. Sri Mulatsih, M.Pd., my first adviser, for her willingness to share her
valuable times and knowledge as well as her patience to guide me from the
very beginning to the very last minutes of the making of my thesis.
4. Ms. Nina Setyaningsih, M.Hum., my second adviser, for her continous and
valuable guidance, advice and encouragement in completing this thesis.

my study.
