Explanation:
Once when I was walking along the beach with my best friend, we came across a lot of people gathered around a man. People were very effusive so we decided to go see what happened.
When we got closer we could see a man who was holding a contest, who was encouraged to eat a live fish, he would win a whole day on a private yacht.
The yacht was in the port and it was really luxurious, it looked like a famous person.
Obviously nobody dared to do it because it was something impressive and something disgusting. And since no one was encouraged, we should try before someone comes along and does it before us.
My friend was very hesitant but I finally convinced her and we did.
We did not know how to start and the truth is that it was very impressive, but in the end it was a lot of fun and everyone applauded us. But the best of all was that we were able to spend the day on that beautiful yacht.
If we hadn't taken a chance before someone else arrived, I couldn't be telling this story today. I owe all this adventure to the saying that my mother always says: strike while the iron is hot.
Answer:
Franz Kafka’s <em>The Metamorphosis</em>
Explanation:
Magical realism is a literary genre that depicts the real world with elements of magic or fantasy. Although it is most commonly associated with Latin American authors, the first example of magical realism is considered to be <em>The Metamorphosis </em>- a novella written by Franz Kafka. It tells the story of a salesman Gregor Samsa, who wakes one morning to find himself transformed into a huge insect and afterward struggles to adjust to his new form.
Some of the elements of stories that belong to the magical realism are:
- realistic setting
- magical elements
- limited information - the magic remains unexplained in order to normalize it as much as possible and make it feel like a part of everyday life.
- critique - magical realism is often used to criticize society.
- unique plot structure - there is often no clear beginning, middle, and end, which provides the reader with an intense reading experience.
