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

e 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.
