BIG FISH

Is there a great storyteller in your life? For Gabriel Garcia Marquez it was his grandfather and grandmother who would recount "the wildest things with a completely natural tone of voice." Garcia Marquez used that style of storytelling in much of his writing, including his Nobel Prize winning One Hundred Years of Solitude. Today, think about storytellers you have known and loved, then try to write a story or poem using that same style.

  1. Is BIG FISH referring to the movie? Which I just saw and loved.
