Eva Is Inside Her Cat by Gabriel Garcia Marquez

Today we went over Eva Is Inside Her Cat and we all were taken back by the obscure short story written by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. The story has many images that are difficult to say whether they are real or a fantasy. In fact, this story falls into the genre Magical Realism which pertains to accepting magic in our real world and has magical and unreal elements that are accepted in our everyday, realistic society. Everyone in our class had different ways of describing what actually did take place in our story and had no real answer to how it began and ended. We all agreed that it was much better to share our ideas and what we thought took place throughout the story. We also pointed out a few of the stand-out images. When I asked what they thought of the story from one to ten, our lowest number was six, but all the others were from eights to nine. On Friday, we will go over A Very Old Man With Enormous Wings: A Tale For Children by Gabriel Garcia Marquez.
