Don't be too nervous when defending your thesis. Just answer the teacher's questions carefully. Students should not be embarrassed.

Short answers to frequently asked questions in English thesis defense;

What's the significance of your paper?

What's unique about your paper?

This kind of question is very common, as long as you are familiar with your paper.

Problem:

The teacher may pick out something you wrote in great detail and ask, for example, others think this character is like this, why do you think it is like that, but these two views are just the opposite?

During the defense, the teacher asked me: I wrote The Legend of Narnia by C.S. Lewis. The teacher asked: Will Narnia written by the author really come true? This is difficult to answer, because it is possible from the author's point of view and almost impossible from the realistic point of view.

Generally, you don't turn over the papers when you reply. Because on the one hand, you must be familiar with your paper, on the other hand, you can't read the answers to the questions raised by the teacher well. Unless the teacher says turn to a page, what do you think of this page and explain why? This will turn the paper over.

The teacher knows. Sometimes he won't ask any difficult questions. He just pointed out where your paper had been revised. Because after the final defense, the final draft will be submitted for the record, and the format will continue to be changed.

Suggestion: To have a certain understanding of your own bibliography, some teachers will ask what opinions a document has, and generally just answer these questions, so you need to know what documents you have used.

The title of my thesis is Ahab's Analysis? Moby Dick's personality tragedy. I chose this topic as my topic for the following reasons. First of all, I like literary works, especially Gothic literary works. Secondly, I am very familiar with this work, because it is a text in our American literature course. Last but not least, Moby Dick is not only recognized as Melville's masterpiece? But the art of American novels in the 19th century.

The purpose of this paper is to study the character Captain Ahab in Moby Dick, who was bitten by a Moby Dick in the process of whaling. After losing a leg, he decided to get back at Moby Dick and tried to kill it. In order to get revenge, Ahab finally executed the crew of the Pequod (except Ishmael) because of his obsession with Moby Dick. Through the comprehensive analysis of Moby Dick, this paper will point out the main characteristics of Ahab.

This paper consists of three parts. The first part introduces the social background and life of Herman Melville, and the second part introduces the main features of Ahab. Analyze his character from three aspects: his paranoia, his selfishness and his individualism. The third part introduces the consequences of Ahab's personality tragedy.

All right, that's all. Thank you!
