Raymond Carver is style in “Cathedral” I experienced simplicity, minimalism style and story telling. In very concise wording such as “We ate everything there was to eat on the table.” He explores ordinary moments and emotions with a every day language making it more natural. In contrast Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s style in stories like “The Handsomest Drowned Man in the World” is more poetic, imaginative, and metaphorical, Garcia uses a imagery and magical realism in his story, describing the drowned man’s body as the most handsome thing the villagers have ever seeing, different and beautiful. Both writers effectively explore their profound inspiration about the human experience through their pieces. When reading the stories a have noticed that every author has their own identity when writing, every one has the unique wording, story telling, topics and ideas that are placed in their pieces as we can explore them.

Hello,
you have beautifully highlighted the differences between Raymond Carver and Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s styles. Carver’s minimalism in “Cathedral” captures everyday moments with simplicity, whereas Garcia Marquez’s poetic and magical realism in “The Handsomest Drowned Man in the World” crafts a vibrant, imaginative universe. Each author possesses a distinct voice and method of delving into human experiences through their storytelling.
Hi Josue, I agree with you for both of these writers. I too choose the same writers. I agree with how simple and concise the writing of Raymond Carver style is compared to Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s who’s writing style is much more magical and he set the stage with imagery, and it makes you feel like your there. I liked reading this story. Both writers and excellent and I enjoyed both of these stories. How about you?
