This novel is well known for many things, but possibly the most well-noted is its rites-of-passage portrayal and throughout many phrases and paragraphs can be extracted that add to this. At the beginning of the book, it is clear that Jim has been well-protected from the outside world by his parents and knows fairly little of it, as any 11 year-old would. On the second page in Ballard writes: “like all children, Jim was intrigued by alcohol but vaguely disapproved of it,” the fact that Jim was ‘intrigued’ by alcohol exhibits that he was curious of it, it was something he had never really understood. This highlights his youthfulness and innocence. A page after this, it is clear he has great interest in childish things: “Yang enjoyed impressing his eleven-year-old passenger with tall tales of film stunts and trick effects.” Young children, generally, enjoy stories told with great exaggeration and ‘tall tales’ implies that these stories were only partly true, most likely exaggerated to please and ‘impress’ Jim.

While growing up his grandmother had told him many legends and myths that had inspired some of his Magical Realism writing pieces today (Garcia Marquez, Gabriel 1-2). The key idea Marquez was trying to give off when reciting this speech was that when he spoke of solitude he was referring to the isolation Latin America was receiving from other countries. Marquez’s younger life had led up to the day he gave his speech, “The Solitude of Latin America” because he knew the stories of his country, and he had experienced the poor life. What Marquez means by “Solitude” in his Nobel Prize acceptance speech, “The Solitude of Latin America” is the isolation Latin America was experiencing from other countries. “Help us for better if they reconsidered their way of seeing us” (Marquez 7).

Mr. Alessandri had us read Silence of the Lambs, Dune, and numerous short stories. I had always just read all the standard books for high school, but this was a whole new twist to reading for me. For once I truly enjoyed what I was reading.

Mr. Alessandri had been teaching the class for almost thirty years so he knew the material like the back of his hand.
