Reflective blog for chapters 3-6 :D

After leaving chapters one and two i picked up OHYOS and began to read chapter three, telling myself it would in fact get better. As i slowly turned each page i slowly developed i liking for the book. yes, some things were odd but the text became less confusing and more of a story than an explanation of history.
Pilar's son was born, Arcadio, and i guess that it is good he doesn't know his identity, but again it is bad because the feelings he begins to desire for pilar later on in chapter six.
The Moscote family annoys be just because things begin to get bad when they come into town.
When Aureliano starts to like the nine year old girl, remedios, i think that is disgusting. he is a pedophile. Then also i felt sad when she had to die expecially when she was going to have children.
A girl named rebeca came to live with them and she had a disease called insomnia, i never really admired her character because all she brought was somewhat pain and illness. I mean if she never came maybe Remedios would not have had to die. It seemed like JAB liked Rebeca more than his own daughter Amaranta which would explain the anger Amaranta has for Rebeca. Not only does Rebeca recieve more affection from her non biological parents but she also has the heart of the man that Amaranta loves. Which brings me to my next point, why does Amaranta not marry Pietro crispy after he falls in love with her? She finally wins his heart but she rejects it. She plays hard to get and makes him kill himself. Melquiades came back to life in the begining/middle of chapter three and i was excited because everyone thought he was dead and they had lost their memories so they did not know who he was. in these four chapters so much happens it's kind of hard to take it all in. Aureliano goes to war, Arcadio goes mad with power has a child and one on the way and eventually dies, Remedios dies, Jose Arcadio comes home and marries Rebeca, JAB goes crazy, and the peacful like of Maconda changes in the matter of pages.
i like how much goes on because it keeps you locked on the book but it also drags on and somewhat gets boring.
It's funny how Arcadio says to name his child if a girl Ursula like her grandmother and if the next child is a boy to be named Jose Arcadio, not like his uncle but his grandfather. this is humurous because ursula and JAB are actually thr great grandparents of his children and he is their grandson. and the childrens uncle, Jose Arcadio is actually their grandfather.
After Aureliano goes to war he has 17 kids that all die.. how sad and kind of gross that he sleeps with 17 women, but i guess that is what happens in war. I believe this is were the solitude begins.
it is so sad people are dying right after they find love, and that is what Arcadio, pietro, Remedios, and Melquides all have in common, they find something important and then they die.
