Marquez contrasts the supernatural in the story with vivid natural details, thus conflating the supernatural and the everyday. P

elayo does not see a large difference between a natural oddity - the invasion of his house by crabs - and a supernatural one - the invasion of his house by a decrepit angel. Indeed, when Pelayo and Elisenda build their mansion, they secure it from crabs and angels alike, thus treating both as equal nuisances. Moreover, the angel's wings are described in gross, vivid detail, and when he first appears they are crippled by mud. He is described in one place as a senile vulture, in another as a 'huge decrepit hen among the fascinated chickens', and in paragraph four the crowds treat him as a 'circus animal instead of a supernatural creature.' These comments serve to blur the distinction between the natural and supernatural. Garcia Maquez may be suggesting that such a distinction is unnecessary, or that the people are simply blind to it. Whether it is a failure to impose the boundary or ignore it is a matter of interpretation - and the story, ultimately, invites interpretation more than it invites meaning.

Lyrx [107]

The setting is not disclosed in the giver but it takes place in the future without a past. A quotation from the text would be anything that mentions the past since the future is hardly referenced. Jonah is the protagonist in the giver, However, it says in your protagonist is Delaney, who is struggling to raise her little sisters. Quote “Although she was just 16 years old, Delaney had spent much of them providing for her sisters. She displayed the toughness—and weariness—of someone twice her age” (page 16). The main conflict is a world without light or past. The giver seems to be a story written by you, as you will answer the questions.

What was the turning point in haiti's history?
Arisa [49]

The real turning point in Haiti's history was the Haitian Revolution from 1791-1804. The revolution was a slave revolt in the then French colony of Saint Domingue. It was the only successful slave led revolution in history and it culminated in he elimination of slavery and founding of the Republic of Haiti. Prior to the revolution, Haiti had been a colony ruled by France within the Americas. Its inhabitants were either slaves, freed people of colour and mulattos, or white-French colonists. After the revolution, no white French were allowed to remain in Haiti and were forced to move or be killed.
