Marquez Writings

When I read Marquez's writtings it brings me into another world.  The way he writes is so interesting and what he writes about is so entertaining.  The story The Very Old Man with Enormous Wings I believe when Marquez talks about how the child is ill and the family wants to make him better, they believe the man with the enormous wings can heal him.  That makes me think when I'm ill how my parents would do anything to be in my plae to take the sickness away from me.  Family will do anything for one another.  I think in the story The Handsomest Drowned Man in the World when Marquez talks about how the women look at him as an object of desire It brings me back to when we were in class talking about how this story was from Playboy magazine.  The way the magazine takes the pictures of the women and photoshop all of the women to make them look as perfect as possible.  It takes away all their flaws that way one can disire them which is not real.  I would say Playboy is not the real world in my eyes.  I would also say that The Very Old Man with Enormous Wings would not be real world.  In the real world is there a spider lady? No.  But when you read and really think about Marquez writings you think about how he is using it in a metaphor way. I do think there is one thing that you could fight is a metaphor of the real world would be how the man with enormous wings could heal people.  When you think about that metaphor it makes you think about Jesus and the many religions.  Religion is also something that I really care about.  Its good to have a religion to believe in!  I enjoyed both of these stories very much I found them to be very interesting and a diffrent outlook on life with the many metaphors Marquez uses in his writings.  I would recomend his writings because they are so interesting and diffrent you just cant stop reading them and will never forget them!
