Today I utilized the library resource tools to search for possible authors and their short stories or poems. I came across one particularly prominent writer, Juan Rulfo, who we have not studied extensively, besides our reading of his short story Luvina. According to my research, he is considered to be one of premier Spanish-speaking writers of the 20th century and was one of the first to significantly implement the use of magical realism in his writing. After searching his name in the library catalog, I discovered that the upper school library holds one of his most famous compilations of short stories: The Burning Plain. At this point, I think I will read two stories from this collection and compare them for my project.
