Chapter 10 Summery- Ursula begins to realize the circular history of those of all of the Aureliano's and the Jose Arcadio's. Aurliano took up the habit of talking to the ghost of Melquides in the ghost's old room he also became a cock fighter.

Illusion in Chapter 8- Aureliano Jose was innocent before his growth spurt but "when he became aware of his own nakedness" he started to notice Amaranta in a more sexual view. This is an illusion towards Adam and Eve in the Bible after they ate the forbidden fruit they had become aware of their nakedness.
