Essay Question: (Crystal) The style of this book is magical realism. What is magical realism and how is that defined in this book, and how would understanding that style help you in reading this book?

(Answer:Magical realism is characterized by depictions of everyday reality, but with the element of fantasy or wonder greatly accentuated. Magical realism is defined in this book by how its written and the details the author goes in to. Gabriel Marquez frequently goes in to details about dreams and fantasies of his characters. Understanding this style would help you understand this book a lot better. It would keep you from getting confused about what is going on when the author jumps from the reality (in the story) to the dreams.)

Essential Questions

(Andrew) 1. Santiago made a huge mistake that lead up to his death. Tell how you think that Santiago could have avoided his murder. (Answer: I believe Santiago was wrong in what he did with Angela but he could have avoided it by not have sex with her. Many people knew that they twins were going to kill him and everyone was talking about it. If he had just asked what was going with rumors he could have easily avoided the problem.)

2. How do you think the colonel could have stopped the twins. If, so explain why considering he took their weapons. (Answer: Colonel should have arrested the twins and taken there weapons. He should have no matter what held them until he got the truth out of them but he had doubt in the rumor so he let them go. I believe he is one of the major people to blame.)

(Crystal) 3. How does the time period effect the plot? (Answer:The time period highly affects the plot. In this time period values where different, Angela Vicaro was not a virgen and thats what led to Santiago's murder. There views of sex before marrige is what made the book; Santiago was murdered because of taking her virginity.)

4. How does honor play a role in this book? (Answer: Honor is a very signifficant part of the story. Santiago was murdered to restore Angela's honor. Every one in the story seems to be driven by wanting honor. If you are dishonored you are an outcast in the comunity. )

(Charlie) 5. How is the title significant to the book? (Answer: The title is __Chronicles of a Death Foretold__. It is significant because the book is not even close to being in chronological order. The book jumps around to much. But it catches the perspective of different characters/witnesses, at different times and places.)
