I’m working on a Literature question and need guidance to help me study.
·Experiment #5: Short story exploring magical realism
·Write a short story utilizing magical realism. This story should be a minimum of 800 words. You may incorporate as much or as little magical realism as you’d like but I encourage you to be wild and free with this one. Use this week’s stories to inspire you and get your imagination flowing. Below are some possible prompts to get you started.
Suggestions to get you started (you don’t have to use any):
Write a story where instead of cosmetic surgery to enhance one’s beauty, people begin risking their lives, getting internal surgery to enhance the potency of their organs.
Write a story where your main character has lost their voice, so they must go on a journey in search of it. Is it in the wind? The songs of the birds? Beneath the soil in their garden?
Other suggestions are talking animals (Animal Farm by George Orwell plays with this) or dystopian worlds.
