Chapter 11
I. Elements of Magical Reality
l Thirt-two belfries tolled a dirge at six in the afternoon in the manor house, which was paved with tomblike slabs, the sun never seen. The air had died in the cypress” pg.205 Magical realism because it is written with exaggeration a bit far from reality.
II. Characters
l Aureliano Segund-marries the queen yet has an affair with Ternanda
l Ternanda del Carpio- sleeps with Aureliano even when he is married
l Fernanda- marries Aureliano Segunda
l Colonel Aureliano- rejects the honor from the president
l Jose Arcadio 2- child of Aureliano Segunda

III. Plot Summery
When Aureliano Segunda saw Ternanda del Carpio, he became obsessed with her that he started tracking her down to her city. However still continued sleeping with Petra Cotes. After Fernanda and Aureliano get married they soon get two children. (Renanta Remedios and Jose Arcadio 2) Civil war occurred and the president tries to honor Colonel Aureliano Buendia, but he rejects it. When the seventeen children of Colonel buendia receive a cross on their forehead with ashes, and they do not wash the cross off till they die. Aurelaino Triste and Aurelaino Centeno start to build an ice factory in Macondo while he also builds a railroad connection to the modern world.
IV. Quotes
l “The only candle that will make him come is always lightened” pg.204 I like it because it seems like there is a deeper meaning to what it just says.
l “Her little great-great-grandson had his pontifical future assured” pg.213 I find it interesting how Ursela is very healthy yet she should be really old having great-great-grand children.
V. Themes
l Affair-Even when Aureliano Segundo was married to Fernanda he still slept with Petra Cotes.
l Fulfill- Aureliano Triste and Aureliano Centeno made an ice factory to fulfill Jose Aureliano Buendia’s world of ice.
