Place in the world.

I really get a feeling the Fermine is the focus of the Novel. There is a great understanding of who she wishes to be and what she is. The choices she has made in her life, mainly dealing with love felt very, careless and brash. Ultimately it is her contracting Cholera that forces her end. Let the story of life set, just as the sun fades on the horizon.

The Love Song.

One recurring event that I feel serves a higher calling are the love songs for Farmine that both Urbino and Florentino compose. The difference between the two are that Florentos love song is composed and performed by him and his melancholy violin and Urbino hires a pianist to play for Fermine. Florentos labor for his song I feel shows that his love is true and deep routed, while Urbinos hiring the pianist shows that his love is shallow and mostly skin deep.

FLASHBACK

The style of Marquez is extremely original and in my opinion very textured. I found that while reading I could really feel the emotions the characters were feeling, but not in the sense of feeling their feelings, but in the sense that I got a feeling for texture of the feeling. That may sound a little weird but It is the best I could do at explaining the genius of Marquez. His use of non linear story progression felt extremely refreshing and his imagery was very high on my list. In my opinion the best characteristic of this writing was the use of subtly. Nothing could be definitively proven. It really is no wonder this is a classic.

Who's Confused?

Okay so far I'm pretty confused as to why Fermine is turning down the young Dr. Urbino. I just don't get what made her turn down Florentino, but now that shes turning down Urbino I can't really trust Fermine. When Urbino died she only wished that he would have lived longer so that she could tell him of the depth of her love; although when she is first introduced to the character of Urbino he is drastically similar to the earlier Florentino but substantially better

Questions- WITH A PASSION!

What is the significance of Cholera?
-I feel as though Cholera is contracted through the consumption of contaminated things, that Cholera works into the novel as a symbol for love, or all the stress and sadness that comes from love.

did fermine really love Urbino?
- I really feel Fermine loved Urbino, but its hard to say. after his death and the advance of Florentino she wept more for Florentino, then for her late husband Urbino.

What is the connection between Urbino and Florentino?
-I feel as though the two share a spark of greatness but they are realised at different times in their lives. Alas Urbinos spark is realised at a more opporotune time making him more successful and apealing to women like Fermine.

how does love work into Fermines relationships
- I really get the feeling that Fermine is some kind of an object that people covet more then something that covets others.

Myst'ha Yah'woas'te- his Wrath is Nigh!!

Okay so I started the next chapter. Turns out I was incredibly wrong. I should have thought about the authors style a flash back was imminent; although it did involve Fermine with another man, but the twist is that instead of it being a new love in her old age, it is an old love set ablaze by the death of her husband Dr. Urbino. I like this a lot more then what I foresaw.

Forsooth! a Soothsayer!

First and foremost I am not a soothsayer, that is one chapter of my life I don't want to think about. But for the sake of appeasing the Great Sun God, Myst'ha Yah'woas'te- who watches over us and grades all that we do- I will try my best to once again look deep into the abyss of the future...of Love in the Time of Cholera. After a long 2 month morning for my beloved Dr. Urbino, I've turned my eyes onto his wife Fermine. I have a feeling that Fermine might become in tangled with another man, maybe even a younger man in her old age "COUGAR". only time will tell if I have appeased my mighty lord!

Shocking Tear Jerker

I am really upset at this book, in all respects it is a novel, but I'm angry at it, so it's a book. So far in the book I have been creating a big bond with who i thought was the main focus of the book Dr. Urbino. This man was awesome. The Doctor was a very old dog set in his ways, which is how i like my old esteemed men. The Doctor awakes from a siesta , the Doctor can hear his escaped precious parrot near by a finds him on a low branch. As he reaches the parrot hops to a higher branch, now the Doctor needs a ladder to reach his fine feathered friend. As Urbino reaches the apex of the ladder and grabs his parrot a servent gives out a sharp shreak of terror for the old mans daring feat, yet her worried shriek causes Urbino to loose his footing and instead of trying to regain his balance he releases his parrot to saftly cementing his death in the fall. This really bothered me and just out right perplexed me

My Kingdom for a Cracker

So Far in This Chapter of LITTOC, I've been introduced to a lot of interesting characters and events, but one this really touched me in a way I thought only kittens could. It is revealed that as Dr. Urbino is returning form the late saint-amours that he has a pet Parrot, and this bird is the cats pajamas. Dr. U has showered this bird with more love and attention then he showed his own children; although its not that fact which moved me. apparently the bird is fluent in french, can quote scripture, and even has a vast knowledge of arithmetic, but when the President comes to bare witness to this revered birds, its silent. The President stays for two whole hours, all the while the bird just sits there speechless. I was greatly reminded of the old MGM cartoon about the singing frog, in which the frog could sing and dance, but it would never sing to an audience just his owner. CLASSIC!

Suprise, it's a Prise in its Self

People have strange reasons for their decisions. Honor, ethics, morals, almost anything can be used as a reason for an action; although there are some decisions that make the strange decisions look and taste like a common gray paste. In Love in the Time of Cholera (littoc) you are first introduced to Dr. Urbino examining the corpse of his long time friend Saint-Amour. It is concluded that Saint-Amour took his own life. Now, I really just tossed this fact aside, Loads of people kill themselves in books, loads. What made this one different was the reason for it. I learned that Saint-Amour took his life because he vowed to never grow old. When I read this I honestly put the book down and cheered. In my opinion that is one of the best reasons for the taking of ones life, and at the same time it is one of the worst. It is a definitive reason, with no substance, almost as if once you find out why, you just brush it off as "oh- alright". This really surprised me because, honestly I wasn't expecting it and that it am awesome hook. cat

"The Reader must awakened" -booka'dib

I would just like to announce- to my vast, faceless, and ever shifting public- That I had a dream in which a bookworm was crawling upon the edge of a straight razor, this was my dream, and my horror. A bookworm slithering across a straight razor- and living... SO after 12 years of soul searching throughout east Asia I decided to read a book. The novel "Love in the Time of Cholera" by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. I hope you stop in from time to time to check up on my adventure through this book and through the gift of literacy. CAT

I Hates Thesis to Pieces. -Mr. Jinx

Ernesto Guevara was a man who knew not what he wanted to become, but what he wanted the world to become; although, all the while Che served as the main bulwark standing in front of his vision. CAT

Do it!, Do it NOW!!!

The Many-world interpretation in quantum physics claims to resolve all of the correlation paradoxes of quantum theory, such as the EPR paradox, since every possible outcome to every event defines or exists in its own "history" or "world." In layman's terms, this means that there is a very large, perhaps infinite, number of universes and that everything that could possibly happen, or could possibly have happened, in our universe (but doesn't) does happen in some other universe(s).
With this in mind post a comment describing an alternate event that went south (BAD) during Che's time in Peru, detailing in great detail the differences. CAT

FACE MELTER Mk II

In my opinion their is no real easy answer to this question. When Che Guevara was a young man he wanted to become a Doctor, most likely to help people, and inspire them. As Che went through medical school he probably kept these humanitarian ideals close to his heart. As Che aged, becoming interloped with the gorilla lifestyle must have really strengthened his humanitarian and Marxist ideals, although this life also called for him to shed blood and take life. This goes against Ches Hippocratic Oath, as seen here "I will prescribe regimens for the good of my patients according to my ability and my judgment and never do harm to anyone.". This makes me feel as though a person can really change everything them may believe they believe in but the key is to remember, that even though others may not believe what you believe, it is not the fact that they believe anything you believe but that you believe with every sense of the word believe, in what you believe you believe in.
