March 10th

1.  Remember: Chronicle needs to be finished by Monday, March 13th. We will have a quiz. 

2. Literary Discussion- Book Club 

  • In what ways does the narrator’s profession influence the way in which the novel is told? Why do you think García Márquez chose to make his narrator a journalist
  • How would this text be different if it was told from another point of view? (3rd omniscient?) 
  • How does the journalistic point of view complement the subject matter of what is being reported upon? 
  • How is gender addressed by the narrator? The society?
  • How do you think POV impacts the aspect of Magical Realism in Chronicle? 

Freud on Dreams: 
Freud (1900) considered dreams to be the royal road to the unconscious as it is in dreams that the ego's defenses are lowered so that some of the repressed material comes through to awareness, albeit in distorted form. Dreams perform important functions for the unconscious mind and serve as valuable clues to how the unconscious mind operates.


  • How does the discussion of dreams in Chronicle enhance the style of Magical Realism? 
  • How does the book address time?
  • What is the effect of the literary style of Marquez on the reader?
