Murakami’s “U. F. O. in Kushiro” AND Shklovsky’s “Art as Technique”

Murakami’s “U. F. O. in Kushiro” AND Shklovsky’s “Art as Technique” (the two text that need to be synthesized)

How does defamiliarisation (or “making strange”), as defined by Shklovsky, apply to Murakami’s “U. F. O. in Kushiro”? That is, how does language use, whether by the narrator or any character/s, serve to make the story “strange” in any way/s, challenge your understanding or logic? What larger lesson/s can be derived from this about the capacity of language to foster or obscure understanding?

Your essay must cite both the readings you’re writing about, with at least one direct quotation from each source, and document these in the 8th edition MLA style.
