"The following is the full text of a lecture delivered, in part, in Liberal Studies 402, on Tuesday, March 28, 1995, by Ian Johnston. This text is in the public domain, released May, 1999; the text was edited slightly on April 11, 2000]" >This source helps me because it is a lecture that is full of such useful information and information that possible you couldn't get out of the book itself. For example it tells you what some of the things in the story may be based on. For example the civil war in the book may be based on the wars of Colombia. I know that may not directly involve the purpose of the paper, but it may be called for for one or for another reason.

I don't know why but the dumb website wont come out but when you click on the link it sends you to the page.

This site helps me because it gives me a ton of information of the book. Anything from summaries, to descriptions of ALL the characters to examples of allegories. Let me tell you something also, it gives you ALL the Buendia's seperated into generation in case there is some kind of confusion as to who is who. It also gives you their own interpretation of the themes of the book, which could help me very much because it'll give me someone else's point of view as to what the themes are.
