Diffusion And Osmosis Laboratory

Infidel with fat and pure *

Intriguing, man squad had prepared 38 under the table. Cut the cartridge, put out his hand to put two shots to the infidel. At that moment, the waiter placed the coffee cup to the man in whose hand poured boiling liquid, making up the gun, which fired two shots. One hit the chest of the captain of waiters, who splashed with purple face and lapels faithless lover gray, the second shot went through the neck of an American woman too fat, so obese that he was sitting on two chairs before he sank his face into a pile of plump waffles with jam and a half stick of butter that was spread to the sides of the waffle, as well as happened to the blood. With a burning of a thousand devils, the man turned to put his hand under the table, dropping his gun but collecting it immediately and looking everywhere. Maybe in the next attempt will not take coffee and there was captain of waiters. The truth, he thought, the fat you did not care. The continued unfaithful cheating but now stained red in the cheeks and ear. Who accompanied lit a cigar on a whim. Music the restaurant La Bombilla is too decadent, my love, said the infidel, while a perfect ring of smoke that rose lover had thrown into the limelight. The man returned to cut cartridge under the table, the waiter came with a boiling chicken broth.

Will Jumping Get Rid Of Cyst On Ovary?



I'm tired to read the little letters

short fiction is a name very close to what represents the very short prose. A short fiction ranging from a greguería (metaphor + Humor), like "The nape of the sea is the wave" or "the streets are longer at night than by day" (Gomez de la Serna), a false announcement "For overseas travel, I rent my boyfriend" ( Samperio), no time "What if Adelita were out with me? or "I do care A cumin" (Arthur Smith), at least until a true story, like those called "Necrophilia": "... When he felt that his mother had died, was glad. And it would be born "(Dimas Lidio Pitty), or poetic prose" Empathy of bodies leads to an inertia of imitation: when we rushed to the hotel, mid-afternoon, he had one of my earrings because "(Carmen Leñero). Ie the term "short fiction" is flexible enough to wrap diversity of forms of the brief written in prose. When we say "fiction" we are saying that the text is on the side of literature, especially prose, and the adjective "short" we are stating only their size. Or, as Aristotle, says his militant prose fiction unavoidable ..
When Arreola coined the term "varies invention" would indicate that not all would lead to short fiction story, but the prose in turn could lead to various forms. Arrreola Although not stated, but it is certain that I had in mind, perhaps the single condition that may require a short fiction is to have unity of purpose, as Poe asked for stories of any size. The unity of effect implies that the reader, at the end of short fiction, should receive a uniquely emotional impression or reflective, or a combination of both, inevitable, at the end of reading the text. So there is no defined structure requirement for short fiction, but only in transit effectively to the reader's eye.
Another element that stands out in short fiction is his familiarity with the poetic gesture, in which many times is based, as in the greguerías or the revoleras. In addition, the use of poetic action suits short fiction because it helps to synthesize meanings, giving a touch of ambiguity, something rich in very short space. On the other hand, when Gomez de la Serna said that the greguería is the result of combining metaphor and humor, will be understood that the term used humor in a multiple sense (black, farcical, light and other variants). Humor is a key tool for forming a literary way to reach deeper into the reader, unlike the aphorism that, although sometimes satirical, makes the reader think and printing time will come after reading. A large percentage of short fiction is supported by both the poetic and the humor.
Another notable feature in the short fiction is that, for the most part, tends to end surprising, sometimes rarely move and the elusive. Predominate carrying a load of black humor severe; there, the minificcionero becomes relentless, almost amoral, in order to get your order to watch: the explosive mechanism of its work on time microtext.
Although we can say that Julio Torri, early in this century, Mexico based on short fiction, with texts ranging from short story to prose poetry or essay, or other hybrid forms combining these genres, who promotes rigor, half of the twentieth century, is the aforementioned minifiction Arreola. Torri is an author of devotees, like me, and has not had the publicity it should. This means that we can speak of a father and stepfather of Mexican short fiction. Several of the disciples of Arreola, as Avilés Fabila or Elsa Cross, have been cultivated as soon as began to happen in other regions of Latin America in Venezuela Luis Britto García and Ana Maria Shua in Argentina. However, mid twentieth century literature emerges and bursts of Boom and with it, the power of the novel, which involves the introduction of the book market and in the laboratories of writing great speeches, totalizing discourses, One Hundred Years of Solitude, Where the transparent or green house. These books are consistent with the historical context while also contributing to the dominance of large systems of thought, of great social, framed the cold war.
This preponderance of totalizing discourses, literary, social, or philosophical, would decline gradually to find the symbol of their decomposition in the fall of the Berlin Wall, fragments, sold to tourists, were taken to a variety of locations planet. We can say that every piece of the wall indicated that was happening to the great speeches: would be fragmented. For those same years (late 70's and early 80) displayed what was termed fragmented literature, among their representatives in Mexico could include Walter Samuel Medina in his book Tailors. I think at this time the writers put the look in soon, thinking of the fragmented, and under that flag, server, notebook imaginary published the book, purposefully fragmentary, which included not only stories, but a variety of short fiction, for such jokes, greguería, the palindrome and games of words, through the sayings or false advertisements.
From this moment begins, gradually gaining strength what came to be called in the twenty-first century short fiction. At this time is increasingly of interest not only for writers but also readers. A very modern sample of this interest is the book of Luis Felipe Hernandez, called three-ring circus and other worlds minimum, which includes articles like "Every time Aladdin rubbed the lamp, the genie had an erection."
words, it was necessary that the great speeches to collapse so that the reader realize that these pieces were composed wholes, for details, brevedades, and that these pieces could, by themselves, have a value and point to older areas. An example Vicente Quirarte, "We live under the domination of the body. In the midst of the storm that caused their demands, the spirit is a sailing boat as fragile as a child bouncing the source of the park. " This brevity is not only providing the tyranny of the pleasures of the body, but could also show that increasing consumer society sets aside for the spiritual life of fun and physical pleasure. Implicitly, Quirarte proposes the fragment as a vessel of salvation.
While all this was happening, there were some writers who stubbornly insisted the game as soon as César Fernández Moreno, with his equivocation, or Francisco Tario in his epigrams. The first famous short story anthology of the prepared Borges and Bioy Casares, short stories and extraordinary, while Edmundo Valadés, while maintaining minicuentos section in the magazine's story, makes the second anthology of short fiction of universal importance: The book imagination. Interestingly, both books contain short fiction for the same purpose and others were torn fragments of larger works, being precursors of the debacle that followed.
Over the years there would be other anthologies until you reach the English Clara Obligado, Be brief, please, through the Lauro Zavala, giddy stories. In the foreword to this book, Zavala states that short fiction is indebted to the fragmentary and rightly so, here it says that short fiction should have a maximum length and a half sheet of paper, double spaced, which I also agree, while exceeding these dimensions and we the field of short story that requires more resources narrative a tale of two lines. This implies that short fiction can go from zero words (like the text "The Ghost" under the title is only a blank page) to pastern and a half. Well, you know that the obsession with the size of the story has always been a matter of curiosity apprentice storyteller and theorists. In this sense we can talk then of sizes from smallest to largest: short fiction, short story, long story short novel.
Once the short fiction took a certificate of naturalization, as is customary in the foundations of literature, authors, scholars and writers began to pay attention to any form of what came from where they come soon. Begin to reassess the fragments recovered from the pre-Socratic philosophers, anthologies of aphorisms and epigrams, the selection of thoughts of various philosophers, or what is called the marginal stories, like those of women (gender issue), homosexuals or indigenous people, including the phenomenon of cultural balkanization. Many have been smart to review these materials and have vast greguería stated that existed in the aphorisms of Jubert, the minicuento in the epigrams of Wilde, the short story in Conde Lucanor and passages of Don Quixote, these "discoveries" no are more than the desire, perhaps unconscious, to discredit the short fiction. The explanation is simple: when Stoker published his vampire, critics say that even in the Thousand and One Nights is the story of a vampire and appeared in the Middle Ages many myths and legends of vampires, so did Meyrink's The Golem , arguing that in Jewish tradition had many golem, and so on. However, says the English philosopher María Zambrano, when a certificate of naturalization work acquired a universal character, not only brings out and creates his background, but inevitably consequent gestate. While Stoker and Meyrink not write their masterpieces and went around the world, no one had noticed that there was a tradition of vampirism or beings as the Golem, is a work or a literary movement founders immediately call attention to the past and into the future.
addition, short fiction has going for it in these times, especially in the cities, people are increasingly inclined by brevity, the sparks of thought, the story. In this context, it seems that in the coming years will be a genre short fiction multiple readers to search and that, therefore, publishers will be opened gradually to the texts of which we are inclined to the minimum worlds .
