I was wondering If I should edit my EE question, I'm doing an English Literature EE: To what extent does "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" conform to or subvert traditional Gothic conventions, and how does this impact the reader’s perception of the story?
Hi, I recommend refining your question to enhance clarity and focus by specifying which Gothic conventions you plan to analyze, making your research more targeted. You could rephrase your question as: "To what extent does Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets utilize elements of traditional Gothic literature, such as the supernatural, setting, and themes of isolation, to shape the reader's perception of the narrative?" This revision narrows down the Gothic elements you'll explore and links them to the reader's experience. Keep your scope manageable and provide a balanced analysis supported by textual evidence. Your topic has great potential, and with slight adjustments, your research question can become even more effective for your Extended Essay. P.S. As a fellow Potterhead who wrote my IB English Lit EE, I also wanted to focus on Harry Potter, but my teacher advised against it since many students choose that series.
@@nailib Thank you so much yesterday I found out my teacher used chat GPT to formulate my question and was searching for an alternative thank you for giving me a better question and I wish I could change my topic but I'm already in too deep with the research lol
