Aura

This story is completely different from the other novels that i have read for this class. This particular realism is different from the supernatural and fantasy. In class, we discussed how magical realism is in between the super natural and the fantasy. I think and magical realism is the perfect boundary between what is real and what could be a fantasy but not to the point where anxiousness and uncomfortable occurs. As noted in the book, there are a lot of moments where some things could be due to supernatural effects such as the dark house and the designs. however, every time we think some thing bad might happen or something very supernatural, the the whole scene changes as we read how the character in the story felt. Personally, i feel like the characters in the book are unafraid of the supernatural which causes the whole scene description to be not spooky but rather, just ordinary. If the characters portray a more nervous reaction towards things in this novel, the readers would obviously feel the same exact nervousness rather than comfort. The characters in the novels are the key factors who can say whether to be scared or not.
