Reflective blog chapters 18-20!!!!!!!!

This is the last blog for One Hundred Years Of Solitude and I am surprisingly going to miss it.
I was really excited entering chapter 18 because i knew that it was the beginning of my last blog
and I really wanted to find out the ending of the book. Chapter 18 was not all that amazing I didn't really enjoy it as much as i enjoyed the previous chapters. I was pretty sad when Sofia left because she was my favorite just because she was not all obnoxious and she still helped out a lot. I really wanted to know what happened to her after but information doesn't come up about her after she leaves. Then again i guess it is good that she left because then she didn't die with the rest of Macondo. Those little kids are so stupid i was pissed when they came back to the house and stole the money and drowned Jose Arcadio. I mean seriously what a waste..Ursula wouldn't even give the money to her family and then some boys come and just take it, But i guess it was destined because Jose Arcadio was not meant to spend it and he did. I'm not sure if it is considered a motif but they repetively fix the house in this book. Jose Arcadio comes and fixes it, Amaranta Ursula tries to fix it, Ursula fixes it, Sofia tries to also. That might represent trying to make something out of things that are destined to fail, such as Macondo and the Wars that CAB were in. We finally see what happens to Aureliano Amador and he gets shot that is so sad. not to be rude but I was not sad when Fernanda died...I was like "FINALLY!" haha i think thats mean but she needed to die sometime. It is really gross how Amaranta Ursla has sexual relations with her nephew i wanted to puke. I mean it is enough that she is cheating on her husband...but with a relative, that is just disgusting. Pilar Died at a really OLD age i was shocked to see she was alive for pretty much the entire book. Since she could read cards and knew the lives of the whole Buendia family so she was one person who actually did know the repetitions of their history. Aureliano and Amaranta Ursula's son has a pigs tail which is weird but they diserve it cuz they committed incest. Ew it was nasty how he was eaten by ants. I was so excited when i got to chapter 20 and figured out what ONE HUNDRED YEARS really meant. they are rrealllly ignorant because even Jose Arcadio read the Parchments and he didn't even realize he read his death. Macondo was wiped out and i was sad for it to be finished but i guess it was destined from the beginning. I am done and I am happy woop woop!!!!
