  In short, a dissertation literature review provides a critical assessment of the sources (literature) you have gathered and read surrounding your subject area, and then identifies a “gap” in that literature that your research will attempt to address. What is a literature review? There are a lot of misunderstandings about what a dissertation literature review entails. Whilst in some cases a dissertation literature review can be a simple summary of important sources, most often it requires you to critically engage with the text to convey your opinions of it, as well as any critiques that you may have. What is your interpretation of a particular source? Does this interpretation differ considerably from other viewpoints in the literature? This is the sort of critical engagement expected in a literature review. Whereas a summary will most likely provide a simple recap of the general arguments of the source(s), the expectations concerning a literature review extend beyond this. A liter...

  The resolution, also known as the denouement, is the conclusion of the story’s plot. It’s where any unanswered questions are answered, or “loose ends are tied.” Interestingly the phrase denouement comes from the French word dénouement meaning “to untie.” A story with a complete ending is said to have a strong resolution. Examples of Resolution Example 1 Kim was angry at her brother Brandon for stealing her peanut butter and jelly sandwiches from the fridge before school. To teach him a lesson, she loaded hers with hot sauce. Sure enough, at lunch, Brandon’s eyes began watering and he asked her, “What did you do to this sandwich?” “Teach you a lesson!” she replied. Brandon never stole another sandwich again. In this example, the exposition explains that Kim is angry at her brother for stealing her lunches. The rising action occurs when she plans to teach him a lesson. At the climax of the story, he eats the sandwich and discovers what she’s done. The falling action is when she rev...

  Literary giants who shape the way we think, write and live today Shakespeare’s dead. Long live literature! Here is something that might come as a shock: Shakespeare is not the most influential writer in the English language. Arguably, he is not even the best. And for this reason he is not going to be amongst the five names you are about to read. We love Shakespeare as much as the next reader, but in this blog we’d like to get past the stumbling block which is the famous Bard and his legacy. We’ll explain first why he doesn’t make it in. Shakespeare: cultural phenomenon The glovemaker’s son from Stratford is without doubt the most famous, the most mythologised, and the most studied of all English writers. This year, his second most produced play, Romeo and Juliet (behind A Midsummer Night’s Dream – almost always being performed somewhere in the world) finds itself once more turned into a major Hollywood Film. But he doesn’t qualify for this list. For one key reason: the influence ...

  Comics have never been bigger: with Marvel TV shows, DC movies, and indie adaptations growing by the day, comic books have never been more prominent in pop culture. This biweekly Verge column recommends comic series new and old, whether you’re a longtime fan or a newcomer. With most mainstream comics today tending to skew more toward sci-fi superheroes, Boom Studio’s Coda is a perfect gateway for those who prefer swords and sorcery — set in a magical post-apocalypse with some of the best comic art around. What is it?  Coda is a 12-issue fantasy comic set in a desolate apocalypse after a gigantic, magical war between the forces of good and evil that cost the world most of its magic. Think Mad Max: Fury Road if it happened after the final battle in Lord of the Rings, with magical power instead of water as the scarce resource that everyone is fighting for. Coda is as much a story about a husband and wife figuring out their complicated marriage as it is a soaring fantasy epic. T...

  People study English online for many reasons. One growing reason is to develop a career in the field of science and research. English is the language of the science world, and a good understanding of the language, especially in the context in which it is used for science and research purposes, is crucial for those seeking to achieve highly in the field.

  Online shopping is full of regrets. But it can be really entertaining too. If you also can’t understand the purpose of this sparkling little chair, don’t worry. Its sellers are as clueless as we all are. “Always have a front-row seat thanks to this sparkly pavé folding chair made in collaboration with lifestyle brand Myreality,” they wrote in the product description. “Shown on the runway at New York Fashion Week, this bedazzled object d’art doesn’t actually carry anything, except for a conversation.” And people loved it.
