final blog question

There are several reasons that Marquez and Allende choose to write outside of this tangible, "real" realm that we live in. In these made up worlds they can make something that is thought to be nonsensical to be a real, almost normal occurrence. It is possible to compare this to children, they are in their own worlds that they create. Children believe in magic and fantastical things that we used to dream of when we were younger and may still dream of. This belief is taken away from us by the world in which we live, by the rules we must abide by and the hard times we must withstand. magic almost makes it disappear and the reader gets sucked into this realm and can live there believing it. This magic that is created by the words of Marquez and Allende opens the readers brain to a new level of creativity while at the same time showing the truth of what was going on in Chile at the time. Not only are these novels to shed light into an unseen world they are to show a dark history and how it slowly changes into something better. A more straight forward answer would be to say that they write like that to hide the true meanings of their words. Hiding the fact that these are commentaries on the dictators and the patriarchal society.
