    Writing assignment II: Brecht and Garcia Marquez

    Compare and contrast Bertolt Brecht’s Verfremdungseffekt (the alienation effect) in The Caucasian
    Chalk Circle and Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s use of hyperbole in The Incredible and Sad Tale of Erendira
    and Her Heartless Grandmother. In your response, you should consider how the authors draw attention
    to aspects of ordinary “social” reality by alienating the reader through defamiliarization, in the case of
    Brecht, and by extreme exaggeration in the case of Garcia Marquez. Give specific examples from the
    texts that demonstrate your understanding of these two literary techniques as modes of social critique.

    Your response should be no less than 750 and no more than 1000 words. Your essay should be
    comparative in nature and written in essay format. You do not need to use outside resources for this
    assignment. However, it is a good idea to watch the videos posted on SUCourse.
