Pedro Paramo is about Juan Preciado who goes out on an adventure to seek his parents, although he was sent on a journey that seems like a twisted fantasy although everything to him seems real. Two entities that were used in the book are the relationship between the living and the dead, and about time. Juan was on his journey to search for his father when he comes across a fellow traveler Abundio who helps Juan find Comala. The story goes from normal to extraordinary and fantastic when he finds out that Abundio is dead. We also find out that everyone in the town is dead as well. The second entity affected is the sense of time. Once Juan has reached Comala the story becomes timeless. Juan gets flashbacks and the story goes back and forth from past to present. The story shifts from the present time while Juan is in Comala, he reminisces back to times with his mother and grandmother. Whenever he hears the stories of the ghost about his father, the time shifts to when he was alive.
