Imaging_Argentina

Imaging Argentina The Power Of Imagination Lawrence Thornton’s Imagining Argentina is a book that depicts the struggles of the Dirty War. The story takes place in the nineteen seventy’s. There are thousands of people that have been kidnapped, imprisoned, and killed. Carlos and his imagination will help motivate the people of Argentina, and never let the Generals destroy what the Argentina people stand for. I will first show how Carlos uses his imagination to give the people hope to keep on searching but most of all to not give up hope. Then I will explain Carlos’s trip to the south to show how it kept him from losing hope. Then I will compare Imagining Argentina and Jorge Luis Borge’s short story The South to show how important the power of the imagination is. The last point I will make is how Carlos imagination is used as a tool to fight back against the Generals. Carlos is blessed with an unbelievable gift that speaks to everyone in Argentina. His power of hope is the one thing that cannot be taken away and this is what ends Argentina’s suffering.
