Firstly, it is important to consider the power of storytelling, which can be used to give a personal or emotive dimension to a dissertation. Collecting and recollecting pertinent information, prior to critically evaluating it, helps to bring depth and clarity to an argument. Utilizing the narrative approach is a powerful literary tool to bring an emotional intensity to the dissertation. For instance, describing the feelings of a character in a poem or a story to illustrate a key point in a dissertation help service can draw the reader in and increase engagement.

Storytelling: Crafting a Compelling Narrative

One of the most potent tools in literature is storytelling. A dissertation, too, has a story to tell – that of your research. By embracing the art of storytelling, you can create a captivating narrative around your study. Start by setting the context, present the ‘characters’ (core concepts), and then build up to the climax (your findings), before finally concluding with a resolution (discussion and implications). This narrative structure can help in maintaining the reader’s engagement and making the content more relatable.

Another way to make the content more engaging is to use vivid language to bring the topic to life. While avoiding a conversational approach or making flashy claims, your dissertation should narrate its components in the language of the field. To illustrate this, you can use vivid analogies to clarify concepts and articulate the implications of the research in terms that the readers understand.

Rhythmic Flow: Utilizing Literary Cadence

The cadence, or rhythmic flow of words, is a defining feature of literary prose and poetry. Though academic writing is usually more structured, incorporating a sense of rhythm can enhance readability. Vary sentence lengths and structures to avoid monotonous patterns. Use shorter sentences to convey important points and longer ones to elaborate. This variation in rhythm can make the text more dynamic and pleasing to the reader, without compromising the academic tone.

Additionally, making effective use of rests, pauses, and rhetorical devices such as alliteration and repetition can give the text an engaging and interesting cadence. Take the time to consider the rhythm of the words you use and the way they flow together. With practice, you can create a fluent cadence and create a more persuasive and compelling text.

Imagery and Metaphor: Adding Depth and Dimension

Literature frequently employs imagery and metaphor to convey deeper meanings and evoke emotions. While it’s important to be clear and direct in a dissertation, judicious use of metaphor can elucidate complex ideas. For instance, comparing a cell to a factory with different departments handling various functions can make it easier for readers to understand cellular processes. Use metaphors sparingly and ensure that they add clarity rather than confusion.

Dialogue with the Reader: Creating an Interactive Experience

In literature, authors often engage with readers through direct or implied dialogue. In dissertation writing, you can create a sense of dialogue by posing questions, presenting counterarguments, and inviting the reader to consider different perspectives. This conversational approach can make the text more engaging and encourage critical thinking. However, it is important to balance this with the formality expected in academic writing.

Thematic Cohesion: Weaving a Consistent Thread

Literary works often revolve around central themes that run consistently throughout the text. In a similar vein, your dissertation should maintain a central focus. All the chapters and sections should be cohesively interwoven with this central thread. Use transitional phrases and callbacks to previous sections to remind the reader of how each piece of information is connected to the overarching theme.

Incorporating the art of literature into dissertation writing can transform it from a mere compilation of research data into a compelling academic narrative. By employing storytelling techniques, creating a rhythmic flow, using imagery and metaphors, engaging in dialogue, and maintaining thematic cohesion, you can craft a dissertation that not only meets academic standards but also resonates with readers on a deeper level. This harmonious blend of literary art and academic rigor is the tapestry that can make your dissertation truly stand out.

“Black Sun” is less a novel, and more an experience. Roanhorse’s storytelling will carry you far from home, sweeping like a sweet wind past jagged mountains, over vast expanses of ocean and cliff cities that weathered the anger of gods. It will pour you into ships with fickle crewmen and ill-lit cells that unlock to new beginnings. It will siphon you away from the dead-end corridors of a loveless house before the walls hem you in, and pin your heart to a small, hushed cabin where a bruised, chafed longing still lingers in the air like lightning… before finally falling still as lake water atop a freestanding mesa where a man opens his eyes and becomes a god.

Roanhorse spins a tale that thrums with the heady fervor of an epic but is as intimate as any kiss, told as tightly and tautly as a zither string, with words that feel as smooth as creek stones. The first line catches the eye and holds it: “ Today he would become a god ”. What follows is less a prologue, and more a lifting of veils, a ripping of something wide open—like a ribcage—until every word is a wound. It’s disquieting, affecting, wildly devastating. And once you cross that river of ravaged language, there will be no escape, no moment to gasp for breath. You will burn through the pages, and through the hours, until all time and words are spent, and you will ask for more, wishing you could somehow extend the reach of both.

The standouts in this book are the relationships between characters. Without getting into spoilers, the constantly shifting dynamics between Marchion Ro and his Tempest Runners is wild to watch play out. Getting more Padawan Bell Zettifar and his charhound Ember is absolute perfection. The rapport between my personal favorites Stellan Gios and Elzar Mann is a delight. Speaking of Elzar Mann, his relationship with everyone and everything is fascinating to watch unfold, without a doubt providing me with some of my favorite moments in this book. I hope we get to see more of this interpersonal character exploration in future installments, now that we’ve been introduced to such a strong host of Jedi in this era. They are original and fun to watch!

For those that struggled with the scope and breadth of characters in Light of the Jedi, I’m not sure you’ll have an easier time in this installment. While Scott’s writing feels less choppy than the heavy-on-the-details world building of Light of the Jedi, the book still bounces from many points of view and characters, especially during our big battle. While I enjoy the cinematic scope of this era of Star Wars and find following many characters a gift (it’s like Christmas but for the whole book!), even I have struggled to keep up with the settings and figuring out where we’re hopping to during particularly intense sequences. I hope this is something that The High Republic will continue to refine, and I hope that we will get some smaller stories for adult audiences too.

Ultimately, The Rising Storm is a thrilling second installment in the adult offerings of The High Republic. It completely surpassed my high expectations, shocking me more than a few times. It has emotional highs, emotional lows, and provides the same level of excitement and enjoyment that you’d expect from your favorite Star Wars movie. It has set us up for even greater stories, and I applaud author Cavan Scott and the whole High Republic team for making me even more worried than before.

It truly hugged my inner weirdness and nerdy proportionally!

Since the Martian I was expecting something equally blistering, earth shattering, marvelous from this author! After the disappointment feelings I got from Artemis, I am truly satisfied with my space journey, intriguing mystery and another one man against the universe to save lives theme!

Ryland Grace wakes up from miles away from his home, lying down on a soft bed, surrounded by cameras watching his every move, wearing breathing mask tight on his face, naked, connected to more tubes he may count! And this is not the only weird thing about his situation: he is accompanied by two corpses and as a computer keeps asking what is two plus two.

Did I also mention he didn’t remember anything about himself including his name! And as we discover more about him by catching glimpses from his past, we realize this man is only hope to save the universe and he’s the sole survivor of desperate deep space mission ( you may call it suicide mission) Through the scattered quick flashbacks, we gather more information how he was assigned for this project !

I don’t want to spill more about details which I always do : because the surprise elements and unexpected twists are important to enjoy this journey!

Even though this looks like a long journey, narrated by one man who barely gathers his memories and rediscovers his identity ( so ironic, right, a world’s future depends on a man who tries to redefine who he’s and how he finds his real mission to exist), this book is truly a precious, addictive gem! It is smart, complex, entertaining but in the meantime thrilling, claustrophobic: the dark parts equally balanced the witty, enjoyable parts.

And let me tell you something, I loved to spend my time in Ryland’s mind. He was such a great narrator who has dark and witty sense of humor. You easily engage with him and deeply feel his dilemmas, struggles!

Overall: maybe it’s too early to declare but I feel like this will be my best sci-fi reading of this year!

I’m so thankful to Mimi Chan and fantastic Goodreads team to share this remarkable, one of the best reads of the year with me!

I highly recommend this extra smart, compelling, entertaining, well crafted novel! I’m planning to reread again in near future! At some parts I found it more enjoyable than Martian!
