Write an essay that compares and contrasts "the nose" by nikolai gogol to another magical realist
story, focusing mainly on the tone of the two stories. how does their tone differ? what does their tone
have in common?
your second story should be one that you find through research, but make sure it fits the magical realist
genre. look back over the lesson and ask yourself if it has the appropriate tone and subject matter.
consider what evidence from both stories best supports your claim (or thesis), and make sure you
present this evidence in the form of quotes and paraphrases.
