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. Also make sure you avoid plagiarism.
Your essay should include the following elements:
• A claim that explains how you're comparing and contrasting your two stories in
the essay
• An introduction paragraph that grabs the reader's attention, gives background
information, and presents the claim
• Body paragraphs that give reasons and evidence for why readers should believe
your claim
