RE: Extreme makeover for a micro story
Saludos, amiga @soulfuldreamer:
La traducción debe estar jugándome una mala pasada, porque con la lectura de su relato solo puedo elucubrar, imaginarme los significados, sobre todo partiendo de lo que me señala el título y las últimas líneas del texto que me remiten a las secretas condiciones de unas paredes que son preponderantes, al parecer, en el argumento. No quiero arriesgarme en interpretaciones más profundas ante los obstáculos que me interpone el traductor, y eso me desconsuela porque conozco la calidad de sus creaciones.
Por otra parte, tengo entendido que esta tarea debía partir de un microrrelato previo, no de una historia de significativa extensión como la que usted utiliza en este ejercicio...
Le deseo el mayor de los éxitos...
@joslud, is it so?
Because I understood it could be any story, or as you said:
I didn't see "micro story" in the instructions. And also, other than these exercises, I don't write microstories.
Edit:
Ok, I read this in the evaluation rubrics. Let me know if you want me to improve a recent microstory for this task, or will it work?
El encabezado de la tarea dice: PUBLICACIÓN 2. Cambio de imagen extremo para una microhistoria. Entendí que se trata de un microrrelato de los que ya hemos publicado...
Yes I read that too. And I understood as:
To make-over a story into a microstory...
Of course you understood it better :)
Thank you for your understanding!
Regarding the story:
This story carries multiple layers of interpretation, but one central theme could be the consequences of mistrust and betrayal. Here are some possible morals or insights:
Betrayal destroys relationships: The friends' gossip about the fourth friend leads to an eerie and supernatural twist, symbolizing how betrayal can isolate individuals emotionally or even metaphorically consume the betrayers.
The power of perception and reality: The friends assumed the fourth friend was hiding something, but their assumption turned into their doom. This highlights how judgment without understanding can lead to unexpected consequences.
Guilt as a haunting force: Their guilt may have manifested in their surreal disappearance, symbolizing how guilt and regret can trap individuals in a metaphorical void.
Karma?: The story implies a karmic twist—what they did to her (hiding truths or betrayal) turned back on them in a way they couldn’t escape.""
The story flips the perspective, making readers question what "missing" truly means and whether their own actions can lead to their downfall.
The title: The walls listen" or "walls have ears" is an idiomatic expression that means someone might be secretly listening to your conversation, even in places you assume are private. It serves as a cautionary reminder to be careful about what you say, especially when discussing sensitive or secretive matters, as you never know who might overhear or be aware of it.
Historically, it emphasizes the need for discretion and vigilance, often in contexts involving trust, gossip, or surveillance.
