After listening and reading to explanations of why do Stephen King, Borges, García Márquez, Hunter S. Thompson, John Cheever, Italo Calvino, Ray Bradbury, George Orwell and Paul Auster write, I can say that they all have elements in common.
Some of them write because of event’s experiences, these made some impact in their life that they want to share or they don’t want them to fly away. Some others write because of dreams they had and that had some strong meaning for them. And some write because they love literature and because they are highly intellectual in the sense of reading. But at the end they all have something to share, even if it is their ideologies, experiences or even nightmares they want to write about.

Which one of them did you like the most? Were you close to their literature before this class activity?
ResponderEliminarFrom the authors we studied during this class activity I like Gabriel García Márquez because of how he writes; the way he creates a story with characters and settings that are easily imagined by the reader. But, beside this activity, I also liked also George Orwell, his book 1984 and his purpose of writing that we studied last year. Before this activity I was close to the literature of Garcia Márquez, with Crónica de una muerte anunciada and Cien años de soledad, and Borges, with some of his short stories.
