You must post 2 times before Monday, April 4th (regardless of the fact that we do not have school on this date). Your first post should be completed by Thursday, March 31st. It should be in response to one of the prompts below. The second time you post, it must be in response to or in reaction to the post of another student.
- Where do you see connections between what we've learned about Freud's ideas concerning the unconscious and our dreams and the way Gabriel Garcia Marquez has chosen to write this text? Give specific examples including passages from the text. Cite page numbers.
- On page 68, Jose Arcadio Buendia says that "Love is a disease." What evidence is there of the destructive powers of love and lust in this novel in terms of how an individual can be affected and the impact it can have on relationships. Give specific examples and cite page numbers.
- Find a piece of art which you feel represents a passage or portion of the text. (You will need to paste the link to the artwork in your blog post so that other students may view it.) Explain your choice. Support your explanation by comparing the passage from the text with details from the artwork. Cite page numbers. Do not simply Google "One Hundred Years of Solitude art", do a little more of an in-depth searching on your own.
- Identify elements of the story that you find particularly confusing, interesting, or worthy of discussion. Pose your own questions. Include portions of the text that you feel contribute to your questions/your point. Cite page numbers.
