own similarities to the characters in the story. These type of stories would be classified as fables, conveying a moral with unrealistic situations, but Marquez has a very unique style that separates him from the average Aesop’s Fable. Which brings us to the two short stories we'll be talking about today, which are two prime examples of Marquez special ability to create such a different style of fables. The setting of both stories are pretty much the same, in a small coastal village filled with…

In Aesop’s fable The Eagle and the Arrow an eagle who has been shot with an arrow discovers that the fletchings are made of his own feathers. The moral of this fable is that we often provide our enemies with the tools to destroy us. In William Shakespeare’s King Lear, we see many examples of this same theme. Lear dividing his kingly powers between his two selfish daughters, Goneril writing about her love for Edmund in a letter anyone could read, and Gloucester telling Edmund where he has stashed…

There are several instances of naked males accosting naked females who are covering themselves and shy away from their aggressor. One author postulates that these may relate to a fable where a father rapes his daughter, however there isn’t a strong theme present in this story that connects with the rest of the narrative. Another…

Even though I was the youngest in my grade, I remember starting puberty before most of the girls in my 6th grade class, but thankfully it wasn’t long after that they all followed. According to our text, on page 388 it states that, going through puberty can enhance or diminish relationships with peers. My relationships were enhanced with my female friends.

part of the population could not understand the main idea. They thought that the actions described in it were meant to take directly, so it was often read to children and was considered as an ordinary fable. This was a very big mistake of the society, because this novel is not just an ordinary fable. It has a very deep meaning and needs to be taken very seriously.

Find You “Pride comes before a fall. It happens this way in relationships, as well as with the rest of life.” This quote from an unknown source is so true.
