THE STORY OF A SHIP WRECKED SAILOR

EVERY WRITTER HAS A PURPOSE TO EVERY PIECE OF WRITTING THAT THEY WRITE. GABRIAL MARQUEZ'S PURPOSE IN WRITTING THIS STORY IS TO TELL US OF A SHIP WRECKED SAILOR. "WHO DRIFTED ON A LIFE RAFT FOR TEN DAYS WITHOUT FOOD OR WATER, WAS PROCLAIMED A NATIONAL HERO,KISSED BY BEAUTY QUEENS,MADE RICH THROUGH PUBLICITY,AND THEN SPRUNED BY THE GOVERNMENT AND FORGOTTEN FOR ALL TIME"(MARQUEZ 4). WHAT ATTRACTED ME TO THIS STORY WAS HOW IT WAS WRITTEN INTO A NARRATIVE PERSPECTIVE. THIS STORY IS OF A MAN'S STRUUGLE AGAINST THE SEA. I REALLY THINK I AM GOING TO ENJOY THE REMAINDER OF THE STORY. _andrea borsic 9/22/07 a block
