Don't you have any donkeys in your country? Daniela ROJAS

Don't you have donkeys in your country? is a great story, i extremely liked the way it was structured. The structure is different than other stories, because the dialogue between the main character and the story teller is just like it would be if it was actually told in real life. This type of writing is called modernism, which means : 
  1. A peculiarity of usage or style, as of a word or phrase, that is characteristic of modern times.
  2. often Modernism The deliberate departure from tradition and the use of innovative forms of expression that distinguish many styles in the arts and literature of the 20th century.
In older stories, this would be told as 2 people have a conversation, but since Aziz used modernism, so his story is a 2 people, but its mostly monologue. The story starts out as the narrator being surprised about the visiter, and the rest of the story is the Crazy guy, but you have to follow along to figure it out. The 2 most difficult things in the structure though, was who was telling the story, and the setting. This, for me, took a little more to figure out. other than those two things, i liked the way that the story had PIZZAZ.
