Problem
A paragraph of this nature should be at least 8-10 sentences. Since the required responses involve individual stories, I would expect that you would use quotes from the texts as a means of support for your answers. Regarding the questions, if an author has written more than one story, each story should be represented in your answer. Please add an quote.
Julio Cortázar: We have been involved in two short stories by Cortázar. Although they seem, at first glance. to be purely about strange but mundane happenings, we notice by the conclusion of these tales that they have assumed a much more shadowy hue. How do his thoughts of murder, premeditation, expropriation, government take overs, and dispossession cross over from imaginative textual narration into nuances about politics and society? In what way does he question existence itself?
