Italo Calvino once argued that reading classical novels would be better than not reading them at all. The author, whose postmodernist works made him the most-translated Italian writer of his generation, would get the idea from Socrates learning how to play the flute. “What good will it do you,” the philosopher's doubters asked, “to know this tune before you die?”.
Dissertation writing is the most important piece of writing you'll undertake during your undergraduate career, so it's natural to have the jitters. There's only way to do it, and it won't be a walk in a park. It doesn't mean that it can't be manageable at all. You can have fun along the way. Planning will be one thing, where you must devote your free time to it.
Knowledge is all you need to write a good academic paper, as you must be able to demonstrate your academic prowess. You have to look for reliable sources, and there is much information to look over in a short notice. Let's start with the Internet: You're wise enough not to give Wikipedia a second chance. It's the site for students who are too lazy to do an extensive research on their assignment.
It's understandable if some students dread writing a book review. It's a form of literary criticism, a skill that English major students can master in a year or less. But not everyone aspires to be a critic. Most (students) prefer to do something else during their free time. (They must have a social life or else.) Analyzing a book can be a daunting prospect, and discussing its content, style, and merit might lead to sleepless nights. Have no fear.
A dissertation may or may not be submitted to obtain an academic degree, but there's no doubt about its importance. It will be judged on whether (or not) it will make a unique contribution to the university. In this regard, it will take up most of your time. It might take a few years (to finish it) depending on the complexity of the topic. And even the best-laid plans can go awry.
If you're an English major student, then there's a likely chance that comics was brought up as an option (for further study). Alan Moore became a renowned author in his native Great Britain until Hollywood took notice of his works. "Watchmen" was the only graphic novel to make it to the list of greatest novels compiled by Time
PhD candidates rarely fail their defense. Do you know why? To get to the point of defense, a candidate needs a perfect dissertation paper, which contributes with great value and knowledge to the relevant area of study. Only then the mentor will give their approval for scheduling a defense.
"Cinderella", the classic tale of unjust oppression, could be written like this: "The next morning, as soon as the shades of Night, pursued by the constables of the Sun, had fled the country, ..." The metaphorical usage would have provided the story, which generations of readers believed was simple and feel good, an intriguing twist. There would be more to this make-believe tale, even revealing some information about its origin. But no one would want to. This what turned Cinderella into a universal figure.
