Good afternoon,
Tuesday's class was rather interesting. The intertextual connections between One Hundred Years of Solitude and the Book of Genesis- Creation story / Adam and Eve as well as tying in a maze-like Labyrinth was rather unexpected but a perfect connection. As in a maze, one may get lost or confused and must turn back and try a different route (much like the choose your own destiny books). In the case of One Hundred Years of Solitude, I too feel as though I am in a maze like place, constantly confused with the time spectrum and the endless amount of characters and as a result, am consistently referring back to the character list and previous chapters and notes in order to stay in tune with the literature. I am very interested to see what everyone else has to say about the book and its newest pages we needed for class today and next Tuesday.
In general, it seems as though everyone is in the same boat as I am, however, class discussions and the many intertextual connections seem to be helping and will continue to guide me through the One Hundred Years of Solitude.
