Chapter 16 Summary

Macondo is suddenly overcome in thunderstorms, meanwhile Ursula feels her end coming and Aureliano Segundo is bored and starts to fix things in his home. The animals that Aureliano had bred are now all dead. Aureliano Segundo is still in the same old same old "Fernanda and Petra" situation and he ends up staying with Fernanda to take care fo the kids but unfortunately Fernanda is still nagging at him. Aureliano Segundo then becomes obsessed with finding the gold coins that Ursula has buried. The same gold coins that were in the saint that some people brought to her during the war and then said they would come back for and when Ursula realized there was money in there, she buried it because then everyone would want it.

Chapter 16 Quotes

“One morning Ursula woke up feeling that she was reaching her end in a placid swoon and she already asked them to take her to Father Antonio Isabel.”

-This quote is in around the beginning of the chapter and it is describing how Ursula feels her death coming and she already wants to talk to a priest, I guess to confess herself before she dies.

“He finally became worried about the state of his animals and he threw an oilcloth over his head and went to Petra Cote’s house.”

-This quote is about how Aureliano Segundo's stock is going down and since he sleeps with Petra Cotes his stock goes up again...I don't know if that makes any sense, I can't seem to word it right right now.

ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY FOR THE SOURCES WE DIDN'T EVEN USE

Brooks, Gary. Literature Board Games. 1997.A to Z Teacher Stuff. March 29, 2007< http://www.atozteacherstuff.com/pages/487.shtml>

We really didn't use this website at all. It did not help us in ANY form or manner. We thought of our own plans. We did not need a website. Well this plan consisted of making a board game. After reading the book, the students have to remember the adventures of the protagonists. This will help students remember important themes and scenes of the book. We thought of a similar idea. In the sense that we also thought of a game. Let us remind you that we did not need this website, we thought of it on our own, but we conclude that this could have been a good idea as well.

This website provided us with absolutely nothing. We just used this website because it was required. We did not think of doing a poem at all, it did not even cross our mind, but here it is. Imaginary Use: We incorporated the thoughts of this website along with ours, it was an awesome website!! A poem WOULD HAVE been a good idea, but we went along with our own ideas. We were creative and thought of such things as a mobile or powerpoint.
