Week #5

As we begin the last section of the novel, focus on the theme of change and the patterns/cycles that Macondo seems to be undergoing.  What events and/or ideas have brought about these changes?  Is history repeating itself? Or are we seeing a dramatic rebirth of this strange village?  Blog postings, as always, due Friday by the start of class.
