Wednesday/Thursday

For Friday/Monday, do the following: Look up United Fruit in Colombia to get an idea of the times and situation. Also, explore the links on my blog labeled Magical Realism, Macondo, and Oprah's 100 Years Site.

Look at the painting on the blog. If you click on it, it will enlarge.Taking everything into consideration, create a detailed, bullet-listed analysis to guide a coherent speech that points out significant details and draw tentative conclusions about the painter's method of communication.

Read from page 1-18 in the text of Gabriel Garcia Marquez's One Hundred Years of Solitude. Of course, look for image patterns, but also look closely at the way the author uses language. How would you characterize his style? Who is the narrator?
