Gabriel Garcia Marquez

“A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings” from Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Ultimately, as I read this story, it seems to say that at the first paragraph of the story, Marquez uses powerful and magical sentences such as” on the third day of rain” and “the newborn child had a temperature” (353) which caught my attention, and I started to engage in the story. In the story, Garcia Marquez used a third person close narrator and at the beginning of the story the author used a meaningful word, which describes whole stories in a one paragraph.
