29 A Very Old Man… // Due the week of April 21, 2015

Hi Everyone!

Read the following story:



And answer at least one of the following questions in half of a page:
  1. What's the role of poverty in this story? Who is poor? How does being poor change their role?
  2. What if the Very Old Man had been a Very Little Baby? How would the story be different?
  3. This story is one of the most famous examples of magical realism. How does García Márquez insert the fantastic into the realistic setting?
  4. Would you consider this story comic or tragic? Why?
