Review of One Hundred Years of Solitude

--This website is good to do research with because it gives you the larger picture of the storyline in the actual book. It explains the beginning, connects outside aspects of Latin America, and plugs in new ideas to the authors. Also, it is good for understanding the family history throughout the chapters. And the best part of the website is when the article explains the ending of the story to us. It gives another perspective that a reader may not look at. So all in all, it ties up the entire story to what you think, while explaining what solitude is all about.

Approach to History
http://bolivianstudies.org/history/journal/1994-5/Estorino.htm
--Understanding the approach to history is understanding solitude. At the end of the book when the memory is completely erased, I blame the Buendias family. They doomed their self into a fated destruction. If they understood that the story inside the story was about them, maybe they would not have been pushed into solitude by their own family members. So if the reader or in this case, the writer of the paper, can understand what was going on with not only the text, but also the family, then we can understand solitude. So this website can help you understand what is going on throughout the entire text, the author's thoughts, the author's biography and the family history.
