The Glass Bottle Trick : Magical Realism

               This story was full of situations in which the rules of magical realism would apply.  One specific example would definitely be the glass bottles themselves.  These bottles contains the dead wives spirit.  This takes the gap between the real world and the spirit world and only separates them by a layer of glass.  the escape of the spirits then makes these dead bodies come back to life.  This whole scene creates allows the living and the dead to exist in the same realm at the same time.  This falls under one of the categories of magical realism.
