Themes
Chp.11-20
Chp.11
Resentment seems to be the running theme in this chapter and the source of jealousy for many people in this town. Fernanda is jealous of the fact that Aurelino and Petra are together and happy. They are always together and not worrying about anything, except Fernanda wants her man back in her life more. Everything with Petra is better and the love he feels for her is stronger than for Fernanda. People also start to believe that the way the acted, such as Colonel and the war, was for nothing. It was just the going back and feeling like there was a sense of resentment in their life with everything. Rebeca begins her life of solitude to preserve everything that is life in her life.
Chp.12
Change begins to happen with the town and all the new things that are coming into Macondo. Colonel Aurelino is about trying to fix every injustice from war. And his goal in life is to fix everything that he did wrong in the first war and now he wants to start a new one. Everything is becoming updated and people are dying, so this all will cause to make something different out of life.
Chp.13
People all seem to be falling into the same trend of solitude and not being bothered with people. Nobody really wants to be bothered with things in life and everyone just kind of pushes it to the side and never deals with it all the way. Even later on in the book, the son begins a life of not socialing with anyone either.
Chp.14
Nobody in this chapter is having good luck and ending up with either a death or another misfortune. For instance, Amaranta and the way that she gets they main she loves paralyzed by a shooting. All the women seem to be having to give up the men they love and the way that they will have to live their life will efiantly be different. Misfortune and bad luck was doomed to them as early as the father being called insane and tied to a tree.
Chp.15
People begin to lie about their lives and the way that they are functioning for everything. Fernanda for instance with baby suppossedly begin found in the river. And the workers at the Banana Factory were decieved into this job and pushed into making it the way they wanted. And the ones who were left on the train were killed and they thought differently as the town.
Chp.16
The theme in this chapter is renewal. It seemed as though when the rain came the people got washed out of all the bad things in life. And then it is as if it was a sign to people to shape up or ship out of life. And things in life were like starting over after the rain had come.
Chp.17
Solitude and lose of being a person.
Chp.18
Sofia leaves the family and really doesn't tell any reasons for doing what they may have. Fernanda abandons her life when she feels she has nothing more to live for. Everyone is living and walking away from other people and not sticking it out for the long run.
Chp.19
INCEST! Need I say more? There is no explaination for all of this nasty stuff.
chp.20
Tragedy for the fact that the whole town gets wiped out and the majority of the main people get killed off. It shouldn't have to be that way for anyone.

Amaranta Ursula is now a full grown women and not worried about trying to be a little kid at heart. And she is becoming the woman that her mother had always wanted for her to be in life. Aureliano falls in love with Amaranta.
Chp.20
Auerlino just continues on his life and the many changes that have occured. It seems that the whole town has changed and everything is not as it once had been at the beginning of the book or when the author first started the story.

FINAL AR---Magical Realism
Magical Realism Chp. 11-20
Chp.11
Aureliano Segundo sleeps with Petra Cotes so the animals will breed more frequently for them. I find it stupid that just because people are sexually attracted and wanting to be okay with having sex that it means animals are going to have more kids. Triste can break plates by never putting a hand on them at all. The ashes from Wednesday for the 17 kids never even came off and I believe that if that were the case they would have to be magically related to the outcome.
Chp.12
How you ask is it that Remedios ascended to heaven and she was still alive. Well all that red this book are questioning it and wanting to know the same thing. There had to be power in the helping of it all. And what is even funnier is that I honestly found nothing she did any special deed or chore like our Mary the Mother of Jesus had done. There were not many magical realistice movements.
Chp.13
Ursula is remembering people's daily routines and what each of them have to do. In this chapter it seems that is what Ursula lives her life to do for other's goods and needs. However, who is to say what each person in life can handle in their brain! Also when colonel went to go pee out in the yard at the chestnut tree, he got pee all on his father's ghost. The ghost stays there even though the father has passed away for a long time now.
Chp.14
Amaranta sees herself dying, which is not normal. She knew it would come once she finished weaving her shroud and it seemed to be a freaky moment in the book for that. And Amaranta was to take these letters to the other dead ones for them to read and bask in. Who would want to do that?? CREEPY! Also yellow butterflies follow Meme's boyfriend Mauricio Babilonia for a long time.
Chp. 15
The town forgetting what happened when the government went to the plantation and began to kill, is nothing but magical because of the fact that it has occured before this time. Also the heavy rain erasing all traits of what had happened at the plantation. The non-stop raining will cause a flood before it causes them to be cleared of all things at the plantation.
Chp.16
Continuous rain for 5 years is magical because you can't let it rain that long and not die of no foos from flooding or being stuck in your house. Maybe it was sign that they need to change their ways of acting like God did to the people in the Bible.The town is also forgetting more and more by the second. Lastly, Aureliano Segundo is not as able to put himself out there for others to see him as outgoing. Also Ursula predicted her own death, that she knew she was going to die after the rain had passed and personally, I didn't think that you could really do that.
Chp.17
In this chapter Ursula is seeing ghosts of her dead ancestors. She can sit there and talk to them and let them have conversations with her about everything. The Buendias all come to visit her and it seems odd because if you hear someone talking to you, most people would freak out and go insane. However, she doesn't do that. Even though she is getting older like 120, in the last years of her life, you still shouldn't go that crazy to talk to people like that. Also when there was a plague of dead birds in the village, the people found a monster that they blamed the plague on. The plague is able to happen, but not to let the monster be the cause of it or the fact that he wanted it to happen this way. Jose Arcadio Segundo is still stuck in Melaquiades' room after years of sitting and studying.
Chp.18
An aspect of magical realism in this chapter is once again the seeing of a ghost. Melaquides reappearing as a ghost to the baby Auerlino is impossible because of the fact that ghosts don't exist. Aureliano sees the ghost of Melquiades, who talks to him about trying to explain and understand the scrolls. Also Fernanda thought that elves would come into her house and move things around. Elves can't hurt someone who is the normal height compared to them and why would they want to bother you and cause you trouble..you know they have to make toys for Christmas.(lol) The parchments that levitates when the children tries to destroy them.
Chp.19
The fact the Pilar was able to tell Aureliano the way that things were happening somewhere in a distant place. She was able to sense what was going on in his heart as well as the fact the Amaranta Ursula felt the same way as him, with out even speaking to her.
Chp.20
Fernanda’s bones trembled with horror in her grave. I think that it is impossible for bones to move in the grave that is under tons of dirt without some sort of person egging them on. The fact that a family's entire history was predicted and written down 100 years before it even happened is very out of place. How would anyone know what was to happen before it did? Or maybe that could just be the reason that things ended up the way that it was because they didn't want to disprut the way that it was to end up being.

UpDated Journals
March 23, 2007
I am finally getting a grasp on this book and things are finally coming together for me and this project. But I have only one complaint upon this all, which is that the paper that is to be up to 8 pages long, is that I really understand some of the book. However that's not my complaint..my complaint is that I don't understand anything about the themes, but the fact that people like to have incest and go to be alone all the time to do things. I find it to be hard because in turn I need to that paper you been telling us bout. And it has to involve the themes..So maybe if you can like just briefly ease my fears upon the paper by like giving me a little bit more direction as to were to start for it all.
However, this still does mean that I hate this project more and more everyday..
It is horrible and I would have much preferred it earlier in the year and with a different book such as Song of Solomon. Just a comment to that lady that comes in the teacher suit(Ms. Brown). But I still do like this class a little bit more than it was a while ago.
March 29, 2007
I have finally finished the book and really can say that it turned out better than I expected it to be. It really ended up keeping me thinking about all the different things that a society has to go through in their lifetime. He does any awesome job making things interesting and even though the book is still a little off, I can't say that I totally hated every part of it. He really shows to us that the simple decision to go and start a family like this can affect someone else and the rest of a lifetime. Ane even though the Buendias' had rough times, they still came back to each other. And I really admire that fact abou them. Throughout the whole book, Garcia mystifies us and keeps our attention and we never really realize that we are getting so much into it.
And as for this project, I believe that it is coming along just nicely..
Everything is falling into lace for me and making perfect sense now.
I jsut hope that we can relax and enjoy the rest of our year together.. Cause May 16th I out..SUCKAS!
