Active Reading-Summary: Chapter Five

This chapter is full of drama. Aureliano's wedding to Remedio's is being postponed till Remedios has reached puberty, which is obvious when she brags to her sisters she has received her peiod. Yet at the same time so is Rebeca's becasue her fiance receeives a letter saying that his mothe ris ill. We soon find out that the letter is a fake. They plame Amaranta for it but I she wears at the alter it was not her. Remedios may be a child but she has a good heart for she chooses to raise Aurelianos out of wedlock son. This is not the only drama. Remedios dies. Jose Arcadio comes back and ebgins an affair with Rebeca which I feel is unexpected. They are kicked out and then there begins a growing attraction between Rebeca's old fiance and Amaranta. I'm confused on the warfar part of the chapter but I know that that is how Aureliano receives his "Colonel" name.
