This indicates that the students give their priority of their writing on observation and taking data from the places as their presentation. Specially, they showed their ideas about the CORONA VIRUS 19, talking about the contexts of society, economics and politics. The critiques on the works of the government were found in many journey stories which reflect that current students and new generation dare to show their ideas with more concerns on public.

Regarding the analysis of aesthetics and from the analysis of all 25 journey stories, it was found that the creation of taste which was most frequent was “the taste of love” which occurred for 89 times. The subsequent occurrence was “the taste of sorrow” which occurred for 34 times. This indicates that the students had knowledge and understanding on the process of describing journey stories which focus on the emotion of love as the main stream and when people have to depart from their beloved ones, they always have sorrows. Therefore, the occurrence of the words indicating sorrow in a subsequent order is regarded as the concurrence with the presentation technique according to the style of the journey stories. Regarding the sound setting, there was the most use of sound concurrence for 2,290 times which was regarded as the basic skill in writing a poem. In a subsequent order, there was the use of consonant concurrence for 350 times which indicates that the students had a skill of using words and gave an importance on increasing the melody of the poem verses. Regarding the comparison of meanings, there was the most use of simile for 89 times which appeared in all stories of journey literature. It is noted that the rhetoric style of the comparison is a style which is widely used even in the daily life when people need to indicate something or it is easy for understanding its style. Next, there was the use of exaggerated words for 48 times which is the expression of much feeling about loving emotion which can not be replaced by real words (reality).
