Talking About "One Hundred Years of Solitude" by Gabriel García Márquez
Jaegyum: Hey Jaeyi, did you read that summary of "One Hundred Years of Solitude" on that website, the one Uncle showed us?
Jaeyi: Yeah, the one about the family in that weird town, Macondo? It sounded really long and kind of confusing.
Jaegyum: I know, right? All those people with the same names, like Aureliano and José Arcadio, it was hard to keep track. The summary said it was about a family for like, a hundred years, and all the strange things that happened to them.
Jaeyi: Like the guy who was tied to a tree? And the yellow butterflies? That part was weird. The summary said that's called "magical realism," where normal things and magical things happen together like it's no big deal.
Jaegyum: Exactly! And the town just kind of appeared and then disappeared in the end, according to the website. It was like the whole story was a dream.
Jaeyi: The summary also mentioned that they were kind of lonely even though they were a big family. That's why it's called "One Hundred Years of Solitude," maybe?
Jaegyum: That makes sense. It was like they were stuck in their own world in Macondo, and even with all the love and fighting, they were still alone in some way. The website helped me understand a little bit more of what the story was about, even though it still sounds really complicated.
Jaeyi: Me too. Maybe when we're older, we can read the whole book. But for now, at least we know about the butterflies and the disappearing town!
