This is my second lit circle response to the book Love in the Time of Cholera by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. For out 3rd liturature circle meeting, my group had to read to page 200. It was a pretty graffic section about making love. This section explains one of the main themes that my group came up with is Love. One quote that we thought really relates to the them is, Spitritual love from the waist up and physical love from the waist down. (Marquez, 199)This quote is important to the story because it shows the reader what love in that time really is. It also clears up why Florintino Ariza constantly is craving to make love with every women he sees.
I have been surprisingly enjoying this book. If I wasn't doing liturature circles though, I don't think I would enjoy this book so much. The book is a bit disturbing and there are times when you just want to put it down but the lit circles make the book interesting. We talk and laugh about it so that we can make it more of a joke because we are disturbed by the content. It has been getting better but then again because it is so disturbing, i think that we just want to get it over with and finish the book.
A big question that i have is why did we need those first 20 pages of the book about
Jeramiah de Saint Amour?
I think that it was not important to have Jeramiah de Saint Amour because it just confusses the reader to believe he is a main character but he never comes back after Fermina puts the letter in her drawer. It might be there to introduce the characters but it doesn't really work that well.
