Oh Joy! It’s time to learn about: Chronological Organization!!! Please take out your rough draft and all C/C Materials. Take everything else off your desk!

ORGANIZATION There must be chronological organization aligned throughout the essay. Title, introduction of novel titles, thesis content organization and topic sentence subjects must be aligned. Likewise, the three points of comparison, as stated in thesis order, should be stated in the same order within the body, and again in the conclusion. Confused yet?

Other Worlds: Dynamic Elements of Magic Realism in Like Water for Chocolate and Chronicle of a Death Foretold. (HOOK): Symbolic dreamscapes, surreal exaggerations, and the illusion of timeless reality encompass Laura Esquivel’s Like Water for Chocolate and Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s novel Chronicle of a Death Foretold. (Thesis): Esquivel’s LWFC and Marquez’ Chronicle of a Death Foretold reveal magic realism through the literary elements of dreams, hyperbole, and sense of time. While Like Water for Chocolate expresses a far more dreamlike atmosphere with exaggerated scenes, Chronicle stresses the supernatural world of dream symbolism but less use of hyperbole. Both novels have a unique sense of time, but while LWFC is more linear, Chronicle promotes a far more sophisticated style of magic realism by avoiding a chronological plot.
