In this story, I saw many things that related to magical realism as well as the sublime. The element appears to me as being a magical element rather than an element of the sublime. A person knows that no tortoise is capable of living to be more than one hundred years old. I feel this part is another magical element. If anyone was given a pill to make him or her experience someone else's situation, then life would go much easier.
People have to learn from their mistakes to see what they are doing wrong.
There were not many realistic elements in this story. The enviroment around him was his natural surroundings. People can imagine this as being a real element because they can recall this happening to them. After reading the story, I felt that the relationship between the real and unreal elements was non-problematic. I understood how the author compared the sublime characteristics with the magical characteristics.
