  10. Magical Realism? Learning Goals: SWBATExplain the characteristics of magical realism and read and summarize the beginning of a short story by Marquez. My Understanding: 1 2 3 4 Describe/Notes in your own words: • Magical elements are mixed into a real life setting. • Magical events are explained or presented as normal. • This type of literature originated in Latin America • The narrator of such stories is detached– or not involved directly in the story. • These stories give the reader a sense of mystery. • Magical elements mixed with reality help the reader grasp a deeper understanding of reality. • MR stories include a criticism of the elite– the ones with power in a society.

  11. Draw: Further Understanding: How does Magical Realism connect to agency? Agency= free will/decision-making/self-power. MR gives characters who are stripped of their agency more power. In all of these stories, the characters who represent the most oppressed. Therefore, MR gives these characters more agency.

  12. Learning Goals: SWBAT1. Explain the characteristics of magical realism and read and summarize the beginning of a short story by Marquez. Magical Realism • Magical Realism is a genre or fiction in which magical elements are blended into a realistic atmosphere in order to access a deeper understanding of reality. • These magical elements are explained like normal occurrences that are presented in a straightforward manner which allows the "real" and the "fantastic" to be accepted in the same stream of thought. • Literary Magical Realism originated in Latin America.

  13. Characteristics of Magical Realism Learning Goals: SWBAT1. Explain the characteristics of magical realism and read and summarize the beginning of a short story by Marquez. 1. Fantastical Elements: The fantastic attributes given to characters in such novels — levitation, flight, telepathy, telekinesis. 2. Detached Narrator: The narrator does not provide explanations about the accuracy or credibility of events described or views expressed by characters in the text. Further, the narrator is indifferent, a characteristic enhanced by this absence of explanation of fantastic events; the story proceeds with "logical precision" as if nothing extraordinary took place. 3. A Sense of Mystery 4. Political Critique: Magic realism stories contains an "implicit criticism of society, particularly the elite (wealthy and powerful members of society)". Magic realist texts, under this logic, are subversive texts, revolutionary against socially dominant forces.

Topic: Erendira’s life gets more difficult after the “winds of misfortune” blow and knock her candle into the curtains of her bedroom and burn the mansion down. Her grandmother forces her into prostitution to repay her for the property damages. Context: Her grandmother has every man in their small village pay for Erendira’s love. At first Erendirafights back, but is powerless against her grandmother’s tyrrany and the strength of grown men. Then, when there are no men left who have not had their way with her, the grandmother decides to travel to another village where there might be smugglers (drug dealers) who would have even more money to pay for Erendira. Evidence: “When there was no other man left in the village who could pay anything for Erendira’s love, her grandmother put her on a truck to go where the smugglers were… Behind the pile of cans and sacks of rice Erendira paid for the trip and the cartage by making love for twenty pesos a turn with the truck’s loader” (p.269).
