The teacher talked about various aspects and roles of popular science storytelling, how it develops thinking, what are the statistics of this genre, all the data on the effect on the human body. And although he often used various terms, even students who might not have been familiar with these terms listened attentively to their teacher. Many of them have decided which university they will go to, and many of them have decided right now to become like their favorite teacher teachers, those who will love their vocation with all their heart.
Thus, in conclusion, we can say that the development of science fiction literature precisely in the above direction, and adoption as a strategy, will help in the development not only of literature itself, but also of our dear youth and the education in them of the great future of our state and all mankind!
The hall burst into applause, loud applause could be heard everywhere. Vasily Nikolaevich, who was sitting in the center, got up first, followed by all the others and continued to applaud Vadim Alexandrovich standing up. Members of the regional and city departments of public education warmly thanked Anatoly Valentinovich, who enthusiastically applauded the teacher, whom he always considered a friend and comrade.
After this story, Vasily Nikolaevich and Vadim Alexandrovich became strong comrades. They often met and discussed new problems of modern philology, came up with new concepts and even planned to publish a book
Chapter three. Professor Vavilov
June 1999.
Vadim Alexandrovich was interested in literature and the Russian language from a very young age, and now that he was a teacher, he decided to give himself up to science. Of course, the work of a teacher is fascinating, but when you have to explain topics every day, if you really love science, there is an involuntary desire to create and learn amazing bins of science, whatever it may be.
The teacher himself was interested in the subject of science fiction, and lexicography in this area. The fact is that when creating fantastic works, authors usually use both scientific terminology and colloquial speech, in a sense popularizing the development of technology. But at the same time, the way the characters address each other plays a big role. When speaking, it is possible to use an official style, or a simple one, and their mixture creates a certain psychological discomfort. Vadim Vavilov decided to investigate this lexicology and wrote a masters thesis for a masters degree.
His work described the analysis that he had done on the science fiction works «The Mysterious Island», «The Air Seller», «The Lord of the World», «I am a Robot» and many others, thanks to which he managed to compile some systematics to determine the type of work. It was something like a system of tables that allowed you to determine the type of work. As it seemed to the teacher then, his work promised to be quite large-scale and was quite enough for him to write a PhD and even doctoral dissertations on this topic.
Just his recent acquaintance with the Doctor of Philology, Professor Ulyanov Vasily Nikolaevich, which took place last week, was very useful. And so, when he completed his first masters thesis, he decided to talk to the professor and ask to be his supervisor.
Vasily Nikolaevich was preparing for the upcoming lecture. The door of the auditorium opened and Vadim Alexandrovich entered.
Vadim Alexandrovich! the professor was happy to meet you.
Hello, Vasily Nikolaevich.
Both colleagues greeted each other joyfully, and then Vasily Nikolaevich led the teacher to the table and joyfully began the conversation:
How glad I am that you came. I really didnt expect it the professor was smiling, he managed to grow a beard in a month, it wasnt as big as Vadims, but you could tell that it suits him.
I didnt want to bother you too much.
What is the concern, my dear friend? You cant bother me in any way, but as I see, have you brought something for me?
You guessed right, Professor. I decided to defend my scientific work. This is my masters thesis and I would like you to become my supervisor Vadim Alexandrovich handed over the work a little timidly.
I am very glad, Vadim Alexandrovich, you should have done this much earlier, because your talent should definitely find its place, and it is definitely above the level of a secondary education teacher. And of course I agree to become a scientific supervisor the professor accepts the job smiling.
Thank you, Professor.
But thats not all. Its almost lunchtime, so Ill be at lunch after this lecture, and then Ill get to your work, Ill just have time. Kindly come to my office closer to two oclock.
Of course, I will come at that time the bell rang, symbolizing the beginning of the couple, so Vadim Alexandrovich without stopping said goodbye to the professor and left to return at the specified time.
When Vadim Alexandrovich arrived at the specified time, Vasily Nikolaevich had already read the work. They talked for a long time and corrected inaccuracies, sometimes adding new research. And for more confirmation, the professor provided opportunities for conducting his own sociological experiment, which Vadim Alexandrovich was able to conduct next week. While the work on the work continued, Vadim Alexandrovich was already able to enter the masters program. So about two years have passed. And at the end of the masters degree, Vadim Alexandrovich had to present a ready-made masters thesis.
Vasily Nikolaevich also prepared a review, and they also managed to get a positive review from Academician of the Academy of Sciences Gavriil Artemovich Venyaminov. After such a joyful review from the professor, Vadim applied with great joy. And all this happened at the Tomsk State University, which was established back in 1870.
And finally, that very solemn day came. On that day, a scientific commission gathered in a spacious hall, on that day with Vadim Alexandrovich, his comrade and colleague Gleb Valentinovich had to defend him. Both undergraduates were sitting in the corridor and preparing for their hour. They were waiting for their turn, one lady came in front of them, who also defended her work, but both undergraduates did not have the honor to talk to this person. Their supervisors were already in the hall, as were the employees of this department, so they were completely alone in the corridor. Both were solemnly dressed, and in their hands they held a stack of papers, these were copies of their dissertations, the necessary diagrams, pointers and plans.
What did you say about your work, Vadim Alexandrovich? to calm down, Gleb Valentinovich decided to start a conversation.
Have you really forgotten the title that you read a minute ago? the teacher was surprised and again looking at the cover of his work quoted «The role of the official narrative style, as well as the characteristic parameters of determining the type of work, when creating literary works of the science fiction genre.»
One could not be surprised at such a long title of scientific papers, here almost everyone had them not small. Someone wrote their meaning there and sincerely worked, and someone just defended himself with such terminology, trying to seem better.
Excuse my forgetfulness, colleague, Gleb Valentinovich apologized.
When about two hours of long waiting had passed, the lady with a joyful look fluttered out of the hall. And finally the moment came when Vadim Alexandrovich was supposed to speak. The secretary of the Scientific Council read out his data and the documents presented. Vasily Nikolaevich was already sitting in the ranks of those present, among them one could see the same Gabriel Artemovich, who decided to watch the performance of the young man.
