In order to discover the theme of a magical realist story, the reader can analyze the recurring topics/issues characters talk about/struggle with.
An example of it can be found in Gabriel García Márquez's "Love in the Time of Cholera", which is a work of magical realism. The main character experiences unrequited love and never gives up. Throughout the whole book, the poor man keeps hoping his beloved one will some day give in to his advances. We can say the theme of this magical realist story is the invincible power of true love.
Another work by García Márquez (his most famous one), "100 years of Solitude", revolves around the Buendías, a family who lives in the fictional municipality of Macondo. It is another work of pure magical realism, since there is the rain that lasts for many years and also the woman who lives to be much more than 100 (really much more). It shows successive generations of the same family and also how certain characteristics can be inherited. The theme here is that of the relevance of kinship.
The option that provides the best definition of the term avant-garde as the author intends it in the passage is (b.) innovative.
<em>Avant-garde </em>is a term taken from French that is used to refer to new ideas that are introduced in fields such as music or literature.<u> It is a concept that is mainly connected to artists that are ahead of their time and also to innovative works of art</u>, especially those that were produced during the 20th century. In this case, <u>a</u><u><em>vant-garde</em></u><u> has been used to describe </u><u><em>Waiting for Godot</em></u><u> since the play appeared to be radically original when it was premiered due to its characters, settings and themes</u>.
Bravery, Cleverness, Confidence, Determination, Loyalty, and Strength. So all except Patience but I don't know what part of the book you are at.
