The story of the Dark Tower is now considered one of the most outstanding phenomena in fiction in general, plus fantasy and mysticism in particular. This is one of the strangest stories of our time, where fantasy is intertwined with reality.

What is this book about?

This epic cannot be traced back to any specific framework of a separate genre. It has almost everything. From “dark fantasy” , mysticism to the drama and western. This is a story that weaves together genres, not the other way around.

There is no doubt that the Dark Tower is the most important creation in King’s life. And even though it was written for more than thirty years, in the foreword to “The Gunslinger ” the author says that it is just one small story “under the impression” of the Lord of the Rings.

The first volume is one of the hardest to read. King immediately throws us into what is happening, without explaining anything. His eyes are confused in unfamiliar words, the plot is quite incomprehensible. The world around us is surprising.

However, the main character immediately catches the eye – a tall, statuesque, already immature Gunslinger , delirious to his goal. This is a killing machine with a perfect reaction. We do not care what the purpose, why he goes there. The character himself inspires respect and admiration. As a hero, Roland is such an “echo of romance” . He represents the best of the past, strength, steadfastness. But at the same time, he is not perfect, he is almost ruthless, her heart has cooled down, and in her soul he is endlessly tired of this campaign, but during the narration he will change thanks to friends. He will change – but not to the end, but his heart will open again.

And yet, whether finding new heroes Roland otherwise helps them, gives them hope or saves them from loneliness (as in the case of Jake). But the price of travel and ruthlessness show themselves – and so Roland sacrifices his friend, but continues his journey.

Indeed, one of King’s strongest factors is his characters.

But the first volume ends and the second appears, the action in which starts with astronomical speed. “The Drawing of the Three ” – this is one of the two most adrenaline volumes in the epic. Then new main characters are added to the story. And again Roland somehow saves them.

The third volume is held under the sign of “Divide personality” and marks the appearance of the old hero, and a new, the beast from the Mid World, through which the cat will find integrity.

What I liked about the book

By the way, besides the main characters in the history, there are many other interesting creatures. But the most important thing is that King managed to make almost each individual personality without falling into the frame of the cliche. Whether it’s Callaghan – a former priest, from the roads, Aaron Dipno and Calvin Tower – the keepers of the rose in our world, or the beloved by readers old Roland’s cathet: funny Cuthbert and judicious Alain. And a stunning image of the mastermaster of the Shooter’s mentor Court.

Stephen Discain – Roland’s father, Gabrielle Discain – mother, numerous random characters – the old men from the River Crossroads, John Callem, an old friend of Shimmy, Ted Brotigen, a young artist PatrickNow and finally one of the apotheosis characters – Stephen King himself, fully involved in what is happening. Images of opponents of kA-teta and Roland in particular also succeeded – Gasher, Tic-Tac, Walter, thinking train Blae Mono(!!!), Mordred, Scarlet King and many others. And not all villains are unambiguous in character. This is especially observed in volume five.

All the heroes and villains play their roles to the fullest, resulting in interesting and exciting situations that do not bore the reading.

The world invented by King is huge and amazing. At first, we draw a world after the atomic war, but then the author expands his view and some details of the world structure become clear. In the center of the universe, like a rod, is the Tower. Around it, there are many worlds, but only a few true ones – the rest are just reflection worlds. The rays that support the Tower depart from it. Our world is one of the true ones, among others. In the course of the narration there will be many hints and references to our world.

One of the most significant incidents in King’s life was the car accident of June 19, 1999, and the author reflects this in his story in two ways. One – during which the heroes are trying to stop his death, and the other is a constant reference to the numbers 19 and 99.

Of course, history has disadvantages, mainly it is a confusing world order and the world itself. It is difficult to perceive the language, easy tidying and in some places, it is a bit delayed.

If we talk about the finale of an epic (and King disapproves of those who read in order to know the finale), it is certainly strong and strange. King makes almost impossible in our time – ends the book happy ending and invites the reader to stop there and close the book one step away from the mystery of the Dark Tower. This offer is one of the most mocking in the world. In a good sense. King honestly warns that the ending may surprise and upset the reader

It is possible to recommend the “Dark Tower” to many people, mainly to fans of fantasy, thrillers and adventures.

Studying at a university is very different from school, and studying abroad is different from everything you are used to. More independent work is required here. The amount of material for study grows many times.

First of all, studying at the university should be perceived as a temporary phenomenon. But the ability to manage your time properly is a useful habit that will stay with you for many years.

Lack of time. How do you deal with it?

Plan to study on your own

At the beginning of study, students are given descriptions of the course programs – sillabuses, where the dates of all the control and examinations are very clearly written out. Also, the main stages of study teachers talk at the first lesson.
From the very beginning of study it will seem that there is enough time for everything, but it is a mistaken feeling. It is better to take and fulfill tasks as early as possible.

Overview of the lectures

It sounds like advice from the captain, but the notes from the lectures really help to structure and restore the material during independent study. It’s also useful to share notes with other students, so you won’t miss anything important. It is useful to reread the abstract within 24 hours after the lecture, as well as before the class.

Understand, not just read.

This is, perhaps, the main point. Reading and scraping on the night before the exam will not have a deep effect, as a large amount of information that you will try to remember in a short period of time, will quickly evaporate from the short memory. In reading books and articles, understanding is important. Take short notes on text, short conclusions after individual sections, write down what you have understood, or paraphrase what you have just read. Translate unfamiliar words in texts only if they are key to understanding.

Use useful resources

When time is short and the reading list does not end, you can use the existing resources where the so-called study guides are collected – abstracts and paraphrases of literary works, main topics and concepts from different disciplines.

Say no to multitasking

It seems to you that you can manage everything, but it is not. Try to concentrate on one task for 20-30 minutes by turning off your phone and all notifications, with short breaks on social networks.

Rest

Do not forget to rest. The brain works in two phases – actively consuming information, and then digests it in the background. That is why it is important to take breaks, to spend the weekend on vacation, not on a toothpick. Walks in nature, sports, communication with friends, long sleep, and delicious food – all this will contribute to the deep learning of the material. But do not forget to go back to work.

Due to global quarantine, students and schoolchildren in many countries are learning online. This type of training has its own characteristics. But in this article, we decided to collect recommendations for writing an essay, which will always be relevant.

The first thing to pay attention to is the choice of the essay theme. The topic should be interesting for you as an author and meet the requirements for an essay.

1.Consider
If the topic is researched and the information is extensive and accurate, then you can proceed to the stage of analysis of available evidence. The author is required to accurately formulate the thesis, as well as to fix the arguments and ideas to be considered in the work. To be productive, the writing should be based on examples of similar works by other authors, where both the strengths and weaknesses of the presentation are obvious. Familiarity and comparison will make it possible to find the best way to write your own essay.


2.Reflection
In order for the work to be based on rational thoughts, it is necessary to compose several thematic questions and give a detailed answer to them. Preferably, it should be done in writing.

3.Clarity of thought formulation
Before you start writing, you should select and accentuate the leading and colorful thesis. It will be necessary to develop this thesis, forming the main idea of the essay. Thanks to this idea, the reader will understand the motives that prompted the author to choose a specific topic and its disclosure.

4.Working on a draft
In small sketches of the draft plan, it is necessary to draw the general features of the essay. Formulating brief sentences, it will be possible to express in full the main idea of each part. Alternatively, a list of the marked types will help you write the full version of the essay.

5.Introduction
The beginning of work on this form of essay should be an introduction that meets the characteristics of drowsiness and attractiveness. This approach should be the basis for the reader to continue “acquaintance” with the “work”.

6.Parts
If there is a basic thesis, the structure of paragraphs should be arranged in a circle. It is recommended to start the next part with the main sentence, where you should specify the essence. Then, it is necessary to present the thoughts, prove and convince with the help of strong arguments. The form of writing an essay should be a desire to directly address each reader personally. Experts recommend, for greater credibility and fidelity of the emotional perception, to accompany the process of writing an essay by saying the text

7.The result
The conclusion should contain a clear, clear, nd substantial answer, revealing the essence of the thoughts that the author sought to convey to the readers.

8.Proofreading and correction

Editing involves the process of proofreading and correct design of borrowings, which can be presented in the form of thoughts, ideas or phrases. Presenting them correctly will ensure that the author cannot be found guilty of plagiarism.

9.To make it complete

In the final proofreading of the essay you should pay attention to inaccuracies and errors of grammatical, syntactic and lexical nature. It is desirable to read the work several times, giving the text the appearance of a complete and ideal literary work.

10.Look at Samples

A good sample will show you an example of a good essay. This is why you should get more than one. Then you can compare and contrast them. The samples will show you different ways to approach the essay. You can get some ideas about how to do the research and how to formulate it. A good sample will show you how a writer followed the rules. It can also show you where they went in the script. A good essay should stand out, so departing from the “normal” rules may help you in some way.

Analyzing Essay Prompts

Some prompts are in the form of questions while others take the form of a stimulating statement. However, essay prompts are built around a few basic elements which you should be aware of in order to produce a good essay. Some of these elements are discussed below:

Don’t get confused when faced with an Essay prompt. It will always give you room to think creatively and analytically.

Essay prompts will give you a specific subject, topic or a theme to address.

A prompt is always aimed to produce original thought. Do not worry about being forced to write in a predetermined manner.

Essay Prompts Requiring Explanation or Deductive Reasoning

Some Essay prompts like “Why do you think we are faced with the problem of global warming today?” require deductive reasoning to answer the topic presented in the Essay prompts. Whereas, Essay prompts like “Explain the process of condensation of water vapors in relation to the water cycle.” require you to elucidate and expand a certain aspect of the Essay prompts, which in this case would be the process of condensation of water vapors.

Essay writing can be called one of the most popular and typical assignments for students of all levels of education – from high school to college and university.

Many books have been written on how to write essays or academic papers but today we will discuss some of the basic advice that students received personally during their undergraduate and graduate studies.

While the goal of the essay must be to provide an in-depth analysis of a particular subject matter, the theme, flow and structure of the paper must be completely revised if your audience is an unfamiliar or a non-teaching one. The subject matter of the paper must be as convincing as possible, yet true to the main concept of the paper. If there is something that is not true in the case study, it must be included in the paper. Here is an example of the content of a research paper:

Examining the impact of a vaccine used in treating polio on society.

It is necessary that the arguments in your essay must be supported by the support of your data. There must be sufficient details of your research or specific facts that are related to the topic. There must be logical proof for your thesis statements and the data that supports your claims. It is also necessary to link the supporting facts and data from different sources and to work with them through logical arguments.

Examining the role of insecticide usage in deforestation in Brazil.

Here is an example of a research paper:

What role does insecticide usage play in deforestation in Brazil?

All of the above examples are research papers written by our students while they were at university. We should always strive to ensure that the research work is logical, reasonable, and logical for others. If the results of the research are not supported by data, then the topic of the paper is wrong.

Today, it is easy to write a research paper as you can access the Internet and get lots of research tools and online resources. But if you want to write a research paper that could help you in your career, you have to do a thorough analysis and do it by using the tools that we have shared in this article. Good luck!
