Tim Burton is an extraordinary film director of playful yet frightening movies that revolve around a character that is different from the rest. In a Burton movie, the audience will find most characters wearing bright colors with an almost perfect life. However, the character that experiences a significant and prominent adventure is often the protagonist who is different than the other characters, based on their dark and eerie past. Burton is able to smoothly transition from a joyous mood, to a suspicious and creepy mood. For example, Edward Scissorhands is a story about a man named Edward, who has scissors for hands and is brought into the “real world” for the first time in his life. Big Fish focuses on the unbelievable and incredible stories

Director Tim Burton is brashly thought of as having a dark, macabre, and humorous style in his films. This being true, there is a multitude of ways that the style is created for the audience.

Edward Bloom and William Bloom, are two main characters, whose relationship is deemed to be the most unstable. It is clear that William’s patients towards his father’s stories, starts to wear thin; especially at Williams wedding, where William believes his father “tried to outdo him”, indicating a false father figure, as a real father is highly likely to support their child and not try to take the spotlight away from their child. This craving for attention leaves the two in abandoned communication for a period of three years. The number three is significant as three contains beginning, middle and end.

Magical realism is a type of writing where two views of reality come together. There are numerous of ways magical realism is expressed in Latin American writing. A very common one amongst stories is open-ended conclusion in which we the readers just have to accept it. Usually magical realism is used as a metaphor for something more meaningful. One story that conveys a lot of magical realism is The Third Bank of The River by João Guimarães Rosa. The story is about the narrator's dad who was quite the quiet man, who one day bought a boat fit for one. He entered the river and never spoke a word to another soul again. The son is the only one who stays at the house in case of the father's return. He leaves food out for him so that he will survive, until one day he makes an offer to his father, and ends up fleeing in terror.

On the contrary, Gilbert’s alienation stems from something different: his brother Arnie. The town of Endora that the Grape family live in, do not offer any sympathy or help, instead they mock them and treat them as outcasts. Lastly, closer inspection reveals that while the two characters appear very different, there are similarities that do exist in their characteristics and surroundings. Both the town Gilbert lives in, and the town in which Edward lives are small, and gossip travels fast.

Imagine, every morning you wake up to the sound of the rooster singing. Not to the normal crow a rooster makes, but to a beautiful sonata that wakes your soul up from a deep slumber. It may not sound too realistic in our real word, but to a writer, this can bring special emphases to the story’s meaning. This literary practice is called magical realism. The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines magical realism, or magic realism as they put it; 1) painting in a meticulously realistic style of imaginary or fantastic scenes or images; and 2) a literary genre or style associated especially with Latin America that incorporates fantastic or mythical elements into otherwise realistic fiction.
