The story «Light is Like Water» by Gabriel Garcia Marquez is written in the author's characteristic style of magical realism, where reality intertwines with elements of fantasy. The language of the work is rich with metaphors and symbolism, creating an atmosphere of magic and mystery. The author uses simple yet expressive descriptions to convey the extraordinary events occurring in a mundane setting. The structure of the story is linear but filled with details that gradually reveal the inner world of the characters and their aspirations. Literary devices such as hyperbole and allegory help emphasize themes of childhood imagination and the desire for freedom. The story also explores social and cultural aspects, using the symbolism of light as a metaphor for knowledge and the discovery of new horizons.
