Essay / Research Paper Abstract
5 pages in length. Maryse Conde's "Land of Many Colors" and part II of "The Harp and the Shadow," by Alejo Carpentier, ponder the impossibility of telling everything when narrating the story of a person's life. When comparing why the story of these people must be told in each case, it is important to realize that not each and every individual detail is pertinent when telling one's life tale. Indeed, imagination and facts prove to influence the doctor's account of Berthe's and Antoine's lives, while Columbus' account of his own life also comes across just as peppered with a mixture of illusory and truth as he prepares to confess his sins. Inasmuch as these elements exist within the boundaries of both tales, the limitations that exist to influence the way each story is told are somehow both apparent and obscure at the same time. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Shadow, the limitations that exist to influence the way each story is told are somehow both apparent and obscure at the same time.
Conde was as simple as she was complex. The lucid and uncomplicated images she created with her seemingly elementary style were anything but; in fact, the complexity that resides
within her characteristically versatile prose, which demonstrate a purity and precision like no other are known only to those who can see beyond their fa?ade. Attention to outer detail
and an unquenchable desire to portray her inner pain, Conde favored a more simplistic approach to convey the immense pain and suffering she endured throughout her life. Utilizing the
concepts of surrealism and imagism, as well as incorporating strains of masked emotion, the troubled writer cleverly and quite appropriately captured her audience with images of her own anguish.
The story in Land of Many Colors begs to be told as a means by which to counterbalance the political implications of Berthe and
