Reflective Reading for Chapters 7-11

I would first like to say that Ursula is beyond my favorite character in this book. She is very smart and even realises the continuously repetition of the Jose Arcadios. She is always there to support their family and loves them unconditionally no matter what they do. I believe that Ursula is the mother archetype in this novel. She is the best! Amaranta is a drama case. Yes, we all know her husband killed himself, but that doesn't mean that she needs to isolate herself from everything around her and not except any ones help or love. She is also the one who drove her husband to kill himself. She needs to learn to move on from things and not hold on to them because its only bringing herself down and keeping her form living her life.I am starting to understand the gist of the title of the novel One Hundred Years of Solitude. All of the characters go into a long period of Solitude after heartbreak, pain, or suffering. I feel like I am watching a soap opera. Everything that happens intertwines with everything and everyone in here. An aunt sleeping with her nephew? A son wanting to have sex with his mother? What is that about! I know Gabriel Marquez is trying to send a message to the world, but he sure does have a funny way of expressing it. What is really ironic is that he has allot of references to the bible and through very sexual and sinful lessons. But, this book is almost done and quite frankly I'm glad. Though this is a prized novel it isn't one of my favorites and something I wouldn't have chosen to read on my own. I miss reading my favorites, but i gotta stick it out, i gotta get the grade. Maybe one day I will understand it better and like it more in the future, but until then I'll just have to endure.
