    I have just finished reading a story of magical realism The Very Old Man With Enormous Wings: A tale for Children by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. In my opinion this magical realism was very well written; even though I think more of the characters emotions could have been shared. Although Gabriel Garcia Marquez chose such a basic storyline of a new person comes to town‚ he was able to take it to new places. The story is also written from a third person limited point of view. In class we talked about

    Drama Objective Review: I really enjoyed reading Riders to the Sea. Although it was not always very clear and was slightly confusing it always kept me interested and I couldn’t keep my eyes of the page. I loved the vocabulary that they used in the early 1900s. I thought that it seemed very classy and intelligent. I love the way John Millington Synge described how Maurya (the old woman) lost all of her sons to the sea. He uses very brief and to the point explanations of how Maurya’s sons

    In “A Very Old Man With Enormous Wings: A Tale For Children” by Gabriel Garcia Marquez‚ is quite an interesting story. This particular story discuses one of the many ongoing problems that we facing in our society; judging a person by how they look. My initial thoughts that this story is boring.
