Marquez!!!

The magnificent writing styling’s of Gabriel Garcia Marquez has a way of explaining everyday issues using supernatural and sarcastic elements. In his short story “A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings”, Marquez explained how people classify others as by what they wish it to be, but not for what’s it’s worth. As men and women, the conventional way of thinking and assuming that un worldly objects can only look and be a certain way, over powers the “bigger picture”. In the story, the old man was indeed and angel, but because of his appearance and his lack of compassion for spectators, caused people to question his existence. I believe that Marquez brought up very debatable points within the church. The controversy between having faith and seeing has been a challenge within these spiritual institutions, including my own. I thoroughly enjoyed how Marquez, in an inventive kind of way, called out the people and church on how we ignore the blessings in front of our very noses. In the short story “A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings”, the child had overcame his sickness, the family became sustainable and people had a since of hope. Marquez also illustrated how people can create delusive stories in there heads and make it a reality, as done in his short story “The Handsomest Drowned Man in the World” .
Marquez is by far the best Latin American writer in my opinion. His sagacious way of writing is music to my ears.
