In 1840, the transcendentalist periodical <em>The Dial </em>was founded, and in that same year it published "Orphic Sayings" by Amos Bronson Alcott.
<em>The Dial </em>was a journal that supported the transcendentalists' philosophy, influenced by Immanuel Kant. Transcendentalism believes in the inherent goodness of people and nature and reinforces the idea that society is capable of corrupting the soul of an individual. Furthermore,<u> "Orphic Sayings" was one of Alcott's contribution to </u><u><em>The Dial. </em></u><em> </em>Alcott's work got favorable reviews and was considered highly valuable for its philosophy. In that way,<u> "Orphic Sayings" was famous for expressing the mystical idealism of the author</u>. The last "Orphic Sayings" was published in 1842.
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.

This is the most probable reason. She was already an artist when she graduated so that knocks out option 1. She might have been creative and determined, but this is not particularly mentioned (unless you count the last line). She does not exactly use her education to figure out what to do.</span>
The Nobel Prize for Literature aims to reward a writer, regardless of his nationality, who has developed a literary work of the highest quality and remarkable meaning that must be disseminated and awarded.
In one of the Nobel Prize for Literature, Bob Dylan, a musician and composer was awarded and had the honor of receiving this award, which generated a great debate within the literary society that presented controversial reasons for this permission. That's because Dylan was not a writer but a musician, causing many not to believe that he should receive an award for literary works.
However, we must not forget that music is nothing more than sung poetry and like all poetry, it must be written with literary devices, correct grammar, coherence, cohesion, rhyme, tone and all the other factors that make up a literary work. . A composer is a writer, and is one of the most notable writers, since the music must convey a sunjunctive message, but full of meaning.
Based on this, we can say that it is impossible to doubt the merit of Bob Dylan and any other composer to receive the Nobel Prize for Literature, since his work is nothing more than a literary work.
