Wha is the most important and recognizable use of magical realism in literature?
370955
May be the first use of magical realism is the able to maxisize a determined point of view or situation that in "normal" life is not such as sized as it could be if you use a very limited vision. May be an analogy could be seemed with the word "creativity" that basically (said basically; warning) means to de-structure reality and ensambled again in many diferent ways, in which each one gives you a new version, not better, not worst, just diferent of the original idea you got. Thinking about, in each new version you could use a parodia of real life if you wish to show the readers your vision, in case a stronger claim for the inequity, or lack of logical thought in "normal and socially accepted ideas" that as a collective guide our criteria.\n\nMay be some of the most remembered novels I've read ever.\n\n1.- Cien años de soledad. Gabriel Garcia Marquez\n2.- Macario. B. Traven.\n3.- Pedro Páramo, El llano en llamas, Luvina. Juan Rulfo.\n4.- El guardagujas, El prodigioso miligramo. Juan Jose Arreola.\n5.- Metamorfosis. Kafka.

I'm going to have to go with Angels. I have read a few books on Angels and I guess they are more excepted as being real while fairies are in the same catergory as leprachuans. OK. I am going to tell you the truth. I believe in it all. Faeries, leprachuans, hollow earth. All of it. \nLove & Light\nSharon

One only needs to read "Animal Farm" (by George Orwell). On the surface it appears to be just another fairy tale with animals, but it's actually an allegory about the Communist Revolution. The various characters in the book represent real historical figures or organisational entities.

I'd say B. Interpretive literature because it's by no means short, and it's a play, not a novel

Actaul def.\nSatire is a literary technique of writing or art which exposes the follies of its subject (for example, individuals, organizations, or states) to ridicule, often as an intended means of provoking or preventing change. In Celtic societies, it was thought a bard's satire could have physical effects, similar to a curse. The humor of such a satire tends to be subtle, using irony and deadpan humour liberally. Most satire has specific, readily identifiable targets; however there is also a less focused, formless genre known as Menippean satire.\nsimple:\nwhich means someone making a joke or making fun of something in particular or someone\n\nact def:\nMagic realism (or magical realism) is a literary genre in which magical elements appear in an otherwise realistic setting. The term was first used to describe the work of certain Latin American writers.\n\nMagical things happening in normal settings

Considered one of the great English literaries of our time, Charles Dickens captured the imaginations of his readers with timeless characters, such as Ebenezer Scrooge and Oliver twist, and rich story telling in books such as Great Expectations and A Tale of Two Cities.  His popularity today is as strong as ever and evident by the fact that none of his works have ever gone out of print.\n\nThere is a start......

There's this creative writing theory about "suspension of disbelief" that says that readers/moviegoers will maintain their attention as long as the ideas presented are not too far off from reality.  So you would have trouble with a movie about a completely alternate existence where nothing approximates human life and completely different laws of nature and physics and reality apply.\n\nAlternatively, it could be something as simple as someone that - for no reason whatsoever - likes someone that hits them in the head or cuts them... Might be good for satire or comedy, but makes no sense in drama unless we're talking Wuthering Heights.

The story opens with a description of North Richmond Street, a"blind," "cold ... .. silent" street where the houses "gazed at one an-other with brown imperturbable faces." It is a street of fixed, decaying conformity and false piety. The boy's house contains the samesense of a dead present and a lost past. The former tenant, a priest,died in the back room of the house, and his legacy-several old yel-lowed books, which the boy enjoys leafing through because they areold, and a bicycle pump rusting in the back yard-become symbolsof the intellectual and religious vitality of the past. The boy, in themidst of such decay and spiritual paralysis, experiences the confusedidealism and dreams of first love and his awakening becomes incom-patible with and in ironic contrast to the staid world about him.\n\nEvery morning before school the boy lies on the floor in thefront parlor peeking out through a crack in the blind of the door,watching and waiting for the girl next door to emerge from her houseand walk to school. He is shy and still boyish. He follows her, walkssilently past, not daring to speak, overcome with a confused sense ofsensual desire and religious adoration. In his mind she is both a saintto be worshipped and a woman to be desired. His eyes are "often fullof tears," and one evening he goes to the back room where the priesthad died. Clasping the palms of his hands together, he murmurs, "0love! 0 love!" in a prayer not to God, but to the concept of love andperhaps even to the girl, his love. Walking with his aunt to shop onSaturday evenings he imagines that the girl's image accompanies him,and that he protects her in "places the most hostile to romance." Inthe mixed symbolism of the Christian and the Romantic or Orientalmyths Joyce reveals the epiphany in the story: "These noises con-verged in a single sensation of life for me: I imagined that I bore mychalice safely through a throng of foes." He is unable to talk to thegirl. Drifting away from his schoolmates' boyish games, the boy hasfantasies in his isolation, in the ecstasy and pain of first love.\n\nFinally the girl speaks to the boy. She asks him if he is going toAraby. He replies that if he does he will bring her a gift, and fromthat moment, his thoughts upon the mixed imagery of the saintly lightupon her hair and the potential sensuality of "the white border of apetticoat," the boy cannot sleep or study. The word Araby "cast anEastern enchantment" over him, and then on the night he is to go tothe bazaar his uncle neglects to return home. Neither the aunt noruncle understands the boy's need and anguish, and thus his isolationis deepened. We begin to see that the story is not so much a story oflove as it is a rendition of the world in which the boy lives.\n\nThe second part of the story depicts the boy's inevitable disap-pointment and realization. In such an atmosphere of "blindness"-the aunt and uncle unaware of the boy's anguish, the girl not con-scious of the boy's love, and the boy himself blind to the true natureof his love-the words "hostile to romance" take on ironic overtones.These overtones deepen when the boy arrives too late at the bazaar.It is closing and the hall is "in darkness." He recognizes "a silencelike that which prevades a church after a service" but the bazaar isdirty and disappointing. Two men are "counting money on a salver"and he listens "to the fall of the coins." A young lady, bored withhim and interested in two men who are flirting with her, cheapensand destroys the boy's sense of an "Eastern enchantment." His love,like his quest for a gift to draw the girl to him in an unfriendly world,ends with his realizing that his love existed only in his mind. Thus\n\nthe theme of the story-the discrepancy between the real and theideal-is made final in the bazaar, a

The best way to find imagery in a piece is to draw what you see as you're reading.  When you've finished the section and study your drawings, it should give you a very realistic idea as to the imagery.  Also, you can go to Barnes & Nobles website No Fear Shakespeare for a breakdown of literary elements and how they're used in each play.  Good Luck!

Dictionary.com defines fiction as "the branch of literature comprising works of narrative prose dealing with or offering opinions or conjectures upon facts and reality, including biography, history, and the essay (opposed to fiction and distinguished from poetry and drama)."  \n\nIt also defines fiction as "the class of literature comprising works of imaginative narration, esp. in prose form."\n\nWikipedia also states, "Essays, journals, documentaries, scientific papers, photographs, biographies, textbooks, blueprints, technical documentation, user manuals, diagrams and journalism are all common examples of non-fiction works, and fiction within any of these works is usually regarded as dishonest. \n\nThe sole difference seems to be that lyrical poetry is accompanied by music.  This originates from Ancient Greece, where lyrical poetry was accompanied by a lyre.  Both tell stories (as that is what a narrative is); however, lyrical poetry will have music accompanying it.
