Welcome To Magical Realism World

Words to know before you read:

What is magical realism?

noun

a literary or artistic genre in which realistic narrative and naturalistic technique are combined with surreal elements of dream or fantasy.

If you’re the child of the 90's or the early 2000's you might know some classical books, childlike show, and movies that show magical realism. One of my favorite books that show's magical realism would be "One hundred years of solitude" this story of the rise and fall of the mythical town of Macondo through the history of the family. The isolated town of Macondo and of the family who founds it, the Buendias. For years, the town has no contact with the outside world, except for gypsies who occasionally visit, peddling technologies like ice and telescopes. The patriarch of the family, Jose Arcadio Buendia, is impulsive and inquisitive. He remains a leader who is also deeply solitary, alienating himself from other men in his obsessive investigations into mysterious matters. through-out the story the character traits are inherited by his descendents throughout the novel. His older child, Jose Arcadio, inherits his vast physical strength and his impetuousness. His younger child, Aureliano, inherits his intense, enigmatic focus. Gradually, the village loses its innocent, solitary state when it establishes contact with other towns in the region.

Who Bears The Most Responsibility For Ensuring The Clothes Are Ethically Manufactured

Vocabulary You Should Know :

• Manufactured : verb
  past tense: manufactured; past participle: manufactured

1. 

make (something) on a large scale using machinery.

Who do we blame ? Who bears the most responsibility ?

     if you're an average consumer there is a good chance you shop at affordable places like Forever 21 , H&M , Zara , and many other shopping places. But  who bears the most responsibility for ensuring the clothes are ethically manufactured? i believe its everyone's fault because at the end of the day their will be some type of flaw that would happen. i believe it is everyones fault because the workers can't stand up for themselves and if they do they won't be able to take of their families , or they might get abused by their boss. which leads to the people who are actually manufacturing the companies. the bosses are to worked up on the money and not caring really for the factory workers and not how the companies actually are , also  not caring what the consumer has to say about the clothes they are buying and the condition it is in. next i blame the consumers they just care about the clothes and not knowing what type of hardship it has been through. the consumer might know what is going in the factories and put their foot down to what is happening in these  countries and how their pay is going. lastly i blame the state and the people who are letting this happen. i blame these people because they are not paying the factories workers enough and not caring about the state the factories are in. they are very selfish and care about the money they are receiving from the foreign countries they manufacture for.

Have you ever taught about why people like crime or seeking to find someone to blame after a crime is done? well i have! in my essay i will be explaining why people are so entertained with crime and adding a touch of Mosely to it. what drew me to this type of argument is everyday we see on social media , the news , and right in front of our faces a crime and the crime could be so harsh and cruel and people just sit their and watch the crime happen. i maybe could come up with a quick synomptous why people want to watch crime for an entertainment. when you read my essay it might just blow you off your seat while reading knowing why people do this type of thing. i will have you thinking are these people just sick out their mind or do they want to blame someone for posting it when they should be blaming themselves for watching it.
