But in this research, the researcher only focuses on Annie Sullivan's character that reflects the teaching independence.


5. RESEARCH METHOD
   This chapter will be discussed the method that the researcher may apply to analyze the drama script. It is divided into 6 subchapters. Those are Type of Study, Time and Place, Type of Data and Data Source, Method and Technique of Collecting Data, Data Validity, and Technique of Analyzing Data.
   A. Type of The Study
   In analyzing The Miracle Worker drama script, the researcher uses qualitative research, statistic is not necessary to examine and explore the facts. Thus, any calculation and numeration were not be
   4
   required in this research type of research. It also included library research in which data sources need literary data. Library research is research that needs a collection of information sources and similar sources that could be found in the library and it is accessible to a defined society for following or reference. The steps in conducting the research are as follows 1) determining the type of the study, 2) determining time and place, 3) determining data and data source, 4) determining method and technique of data collection, and last 5) determining the technique of data analysis.


6. Time and Place
   This research belongs to literary study and library research so that there is no limitation toward time and place. The researcher may take the data at any time and any place.


7. Type of Data and Data SourceDue to the researcher's goal to analyze the fiction (drama script), the type of data is the text that contains in paragraph or discourse. The researcher's father the data from data sources, namely primary and secondary data sources. Primary data is fathered from The Miracle Worker drama script by William Gibson. Then, the secondary data is fathered from previous studies and other resources related to the object of the research. It may be movie scripts, books, journals, the internet, etc.


8. Method and Technique of Collecting Data
   This proposed research would apply literary research and comprehension techniques as the method. Library research is used to gather information and related sources. Comprehension is used for gathering data. And then researcher uses note-taking to complete the data in collecting data. The steps for collecting the data follow:
   5
   a. First, the researcher reads the drama script The Miracle Worker repeatedly for gathering the data and observes the data as the primary data source.
   b. Then, the researcher takes some notes related to the issue that will be discussed in the research.
   c. Browsing to the internet to get information and articles related to the objects of the study and reading some related books to find out the theories, data, and information that are required as the secondary data sources.
   d. Identify the problem and find the data. Therefore, the research’s problem statement and objective of the study could be drawn clearly.
   e. Take some notes of important information in both primary and secondary data
   f. The last is the researcher would analyze the data by using the existentialist approach.
   i. Data Validity
   The use of validity is usually found in qualitative research and now it is reconsidered also in qualitative research. The concept of validity is delineated by a wide range of terms in qualitative research. Validity is used to prove that the data is trustworthy. Every research should have validity in its data.
   According to Goetz and Le Compe 1982:32, Validity in research is concerned with the accuracy and truthfulness of finding. Qualitative validity means that the researcher should check for the accuracy of the findings by employing certain procedures (Jhon Creswell, 2009)
   Based on Goetz and Le Comple (1982:32) stated that validity in a qualitative study is focused on the accuracy and truthfulness of scientific findings. In this research, the researcher uses triangulation
   6
   to make the trustworthiness of the data. Based on Denzin in An Introduction to Triangulation (2010:14-16) there are four types of triangulations, they are Data Triangulation, Investigator triangulation, Theory Triangulation, and Method Triangulation.

1. Data Triangulation (the use of various data sources, for example, time, space, and person)


2. Investigator triangulation (the use of more than one observer, investigator, researcher, or data analyst)


3. Theory triangulation (the use of multiple hypotheses or theories)


4. Methods triangulation (the use of multiple methods to research a situation or phenomenon).
   According to the explanation above, the researcher uses investigator triangulation as the type of triangulation which will be applied and appropriate with this study. The researcher does crosscheck the data with his consultant to make sure the data is valid.

4. The technique of Data Analysis
   The technique of data analysis is document analysis. For analyzing the data, the researcher used content analysis by using an existentialist perspective. Document analysis is applied to analyze the document that used in this research. Based on Creswell (2007) there are some steps to analyze the data, such as:
   a. Organizing and preparing the data for analysis. It is the first step for analyzing the data. In this step, we could be reviewing the material, typing up field notes, or breaking down and classifying the data into different types. It depends on the source of the information.
   b. Read through all of the data. It increases a piece of common information and reflects on its overall meaning.
   7c. Start detailed analysis with a coding process. This step is to classify and differentiate the data based on the type or categories.
   d. Use the coding process to generate a description of the setting or people as well as categories or themes to analyze. In this step, description is giving detailed information about places, people, or events in a setting.
   e. Advance how the description and themes are represented in the qualitative narrative.
   f. Interpret the data using the existentialism approach.


5. THE RESULT OF RESEARCH AND DISCUSSION


6. Factors that are Contribute Annie Sullivan chose teaching as her choice of life
   Based on the underlying theory and match with the story, the researcher found that some factors contribute to Annie Sullivan to choose teaching as her choice of life. As follows:
   a. Atoning Her Guilty to Her Brother
   The way Annie Sullivan looks at Helen Keller, she remembers his promise to his little brother, Jimmie Sullivan. Annie Sullivan and her little brother, Jimmie Sullivan grew up in the state asylum at Tewksbury, Massachusetts, where conditions were notoriously harsh. Annie and Jimmie were sent together when their mother died from tuberculosis and their father abandoned the family. Jimmie Sullivan, who suffered from a tubercular hip, was terrified of being separated from Annie, so she dressed him as a girl and kept him with her on the women’s ward for a time, promising to take care of him forever and ever. But Jimmie was finally taken away from his sister, however, and eventually died.
   Even though Annie was only nine years old and virtually blind at the time, Annie Sullivan blames herself for not being able to keep her promise to take care of her little brother. The memory of Jimmie’s death haunts her to adulthood. Even though she has been told that the battle is dead and done with, Annie Sullivan cannot let it stay buried. She feels that God should owe her resurrection and that she has a debt to Jimmie as well. There is the sense at the end of the play that in
   8
   reaching Helen, Annie Sullivan was found the resurrection she seeks and that she will be able to love and care for Helen Keller in a way that she was not able to do for her brother.
   b. She wanted to assist Helen Keller to get the education
   Annie Sullivan was lost much of her sight due to a trachoma disease contracted as a child due to poor living conditions in the 1870s. When Annie Sullivan was five years old, she contracted a bacterial eye disease known as trachoma. Trachoma is an infectious disease caused by the bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis. This infection causes a roughening can led to pain in the eyes, breakdown of the outer surface or cornea of the eyes, and eventual blindness. And she knows how they feel become a blind kid, like what Helen feel.
   Annie Sullivan wanted to help Helen Keller to make an association between the word and physical objects since actually, she wanted to bring education to everyone even a blind, mute, deaf student such as Helen Keller.


7. Depiction of Teaching Independence as Meaningful Choice of Life
   In The Miracle Worker drama script, there are a sufferer character, pessimist character, and an optimist character. The sufferer character is Helen Keller, the pessimist character is Captain Arthur Keller, and the optimist character is Annie Sullivan and Helen’s mother, Kate Adams Keller.
   The researcher finds out that the depiction of teaching independence as meaningful life of The Miracle Worker drama script is through the character or characterization, style, and plot or creating events. The analysis of the depiction seeking a meaningful choice of life in the drama script is as follows:
   a. Through the Character or Characterization
   Character or characterization is the character presentation and creation of image or idea of the characters depicted in the drama script, as follows:

1. Sufferer Character
   Helen Keller is one of the two major characters of the drama script. In real life she was one of the American’s most famous people of her time, despite being blind, deaf, and mute,
