Hello professor! This was a great story and also A quite interesting one. I think what is important while answering your question is knowing that you really have to be able to comprehend the moral of the story after all is said. You have to put yourself , so to speak, in the shoes of the author and ask yourself, what is it that Gabriel Garcia Marquez is trying to tell me? What do I feel when reading this?What I have received from the overall message of the story was live your life with no restraints; to appreciate your life while you are blessed enough to have it. In other words value what is important. I feel like you assigned this as the first post because you want us to start and continue moving forward into this semester with an open mind to have that mentality of having a positive mindset of valuation of life .
One thought on “Nicole Vega Discussion 2”
Nicole, that’s a lovely response. I do hope you will all proceed with an open mind. I also hope you’ll be open to the power of stories. It is the act of creating a story for the dead man that releases the villagers’ imagination and leads them to extraordinary change.
