It makes the reader realize that his death was fate.

“But they both suddenly woke up to reality, because they were exhausted, and yet they thought that Santiago Nasar would never fall”  M/O because they woke up from reality and thought that Santiago wasn’t falling because of his own strength.

Dogs I decided because they were vicious towards Santiago in the beginning. I said it was foreshadowing, how when he was dead the dogs were fighting over his decomposing body. I used the knives because it was used throughout the book as "carved", "pig slashing", etc. I said it also foreshadowed Santiago's death because the text says he was gutted like a pig.

He was stabbed multiple times but then walked around his whole house with his guts hanging out. He was even conscious enough to talk to the neighbors. An example of causality is subjective was when Placida was not able to see her son running to the door so she shut it. If she had been at a slightly different angle, she would have seen him and Santiago would have been saved.

Dreams symbolize premonitions and foreshadowing of what is to come. This is time is not linear because it is foreshadowing what happens to the person who had the dream.

It makes the reader feel how the characters within the story felt and it immerses the murder into the context of the entire story. One example of magical realism is when time jumps around on page 116, this offers insight into how many of the events that were happening that day were simultaneous. Additionally, when the twins were killing Santiago the blades were coming out clean, until they stabbed him in the back. This is an example of magical and ordinary being one in the same because you cannot stab an individual successfully and have the blade come out clean, this shows how powerful stabbing Santiago in the back was and how it sealed his fate.]]> 2023-05-10 18:13:04 UTC https://padlet.com/lmcfarland7/k32bh4bzlr2cjrmh/wish/2585924384 https://padlet.com/lmcfarland7/k32bh4bzlr2cjrmh/wish/2585925376 The men and women in this book are compared to different standards because of machismo. Men are expected to be "manly" and get a wife and are not allowed to show emotion because it is considered weak. Women are required to learn how to be the perfect wife, they are also expected to save themselves for marriage and be submissive. One character that goes against this expectations is Maria and that is because she doesn't save herself for marriage and she sleeps with most of the men. She is one of the more dominant people in the book in my opinion which goes against the supposedly submissive nature of women.]]> 2023-05-10 18:13:55 UTC https://padlet.com/lmcfarland7/k32bh4bzlr2cjrmh/wish/2585925376 rbrown1108 https://padlet.com/lmcfarland7/k32bh4bzlr2cjrmh/wish/2585925747 In Latin America, traditional gender role are prevalent in their culture. Men are the providers and women are the ones in charge of the house and kids. The idea of Machismo really intensifies these beliefs. Some characters who stray from these expectations are Maria and Clotilde. Maria is a prostitute when women are supposed to remain virgins. Clotilde is the one who stepped up and tried to prevent Santiago's murder. ]]> 2023-05-10 18:14:13 UTC https://padlet.com/lmcfarland7/k32bh4bzlr2cjrmh/wish/2585925747 ccavicchia https://padlet.com/lmcfarland7/k32bh4bzlr2cjrmh/wish/2585926299 Machismo is how men are supposed to be super brave and take care of the family, but also in this culture they expect the woman to be perfect and virgins and do what the man wants. You can see machismo when Bayardo says "Remind me to marry her when I wake up". He does not care what she says he just decides that he wants t marry her and it happens. You can also see how men are seen when pablos fiance says she would not have married him if he did not kill santiago. Men are supposed to bring honor to their family and if the twins did not do that they would be seen as failures or not real men. This chasing honor can also make people to lose their morals like the twins when they had to kill santiago who was their freind.]]> 2023-05-10 18:14:42 UTC https://padlet.com/lmcfarland7/k32bh4bzlr2cjrmh/wish/2585926299 cjohnson1270 https://padlet.com/lmcfarland7/k32bh4bzlr2cjrmh/wish/2585926900 Some symbolic images that reoccurred in the book was the dreams sending messages and almost explaining Santiago's fate.

Time was not linear and certain instances provided causality. For example "He went up to his room a minute ago" (Marquez 116). If Placida knew Santiago was still outside, she wouldn't have closed the Fatal door and could have let Santiago in, providing causality. The fragment "a minute ago" represents how time was not linear. The causality adds to the idea Santiago's death was fated to happen. Magical Realism also helps us understand if Santiago was innocent of taking Angela's virginity. "I'd given it to him at least three times and there wasn't a drop of blood" (Marquez 118). The lack of blood and clean knife could represent is genuine innocence to the situation. ]]> 2023-05-10 18:15:20 UTC https://padlet.com/lmcfarland7/k32bh4bzlr2cjrmh/wish/2585927053 sdesilva16 https://padlet.com/lmcfarland7/k32bh4bzlr2cjrmh/wish/2585929140 I chose birds and trees. 

Birds- Birds represent freedom or the ability to escape from death. When Santiago was described by Nahir as a "wet bird." Because Santiago's wings are wet he cannot escape death as his fate has been decided for him. 

Trees- Trees are people or warnings that could have alerted Santiago or have helped him know about his death. However, in the dream he was flying through the trees. He could not be stopped by the trees as again his fate was already decided. ]]> 2023-05-10 18:16:56 UTC https://padlet.com/lmcfarland7/k32bh4bzlr2cjrmh/wish/2585929140 kborkowski9 https://padlet.com/lmcfarland7/k32bh4bzlr2cjrmh/wish/2585929200 in the book dreams were mentioned at the very beginning. the way dreams are described has a bit of magical realism, there are dream interpreters (Santiago's mom). the symbolism of the dogs was also important. in the beginning of the book Santiago was grossed out by the dogs eating rabbit guts and it was really foreshadowing to how santiago was gonna get "cut up like a pig"]]> 2023-05-10 18:16:59 UTC https://padlet.com/lmcfarland7/k32bh4bzlr2cjrmh/wish/2585929200 rbrown1108 https://padlet.com/lmcfarland7/k32bh4bzlr2cjrmh/wish/2585930976 One of these important symbols was the dogs. The dogs were always barking for the guts and they foreshadowed and represented death. They also relate to causality is subjective and time is not linear. The dreams are also an important symbol. They were premonitions about what was going to happen to Santiago and examples of time is not linear. ]]> 2023-05-10 18:18:24 UTC https://padlet.com/lmcfarland7/k32bh4bzlr2cjrmh/wish/2585930976 echapman71 https://padlet.com/lmcfarland7/k32bh4bzlr2cjrmh/wish/2585931776 Trees are important because they symbolize how santiagos dreams were misinterped. There are also almond rees and they can grow differnt types of almonds and nuts. The dogs are important because they did not know santiago had died yet when he was going to die they started to bark which foreshapds his death. The dogs barking symbolize death and the guts because they were fed rabbit guts in the beggining and in the end when santiago had been cut up like a pig his guts were falling out of him. When his death occured there were dogs barking before and after it. ]]> 2023-05-10 18:18:59 UTC https://padlet.com/lmcfarland7/k32bh4bzlr2cjrmh/wish/2585931776 ccavicchia https://padlet.com/lmcfarland7/k32bh4bzlr2cjrmh/wish/2585933358 some symobols in the book are the trees because in the dream he is flying around the trees with them stopping him, just like later in the book the people in the twon all know about the murder and still say nothing and dont try to stop it.

This can compare to how Santiago was cut up like a pig when he was murdered as well as how his death was a "sacrifice" in the name of Angela's honor along with her families honor. I personally think that when one character claims to see the knives dripping in blood before Santiago was killed helps express the twins bloodlust as well as the irony of when he was killed the knives came out clean (magical realism). The other symbol I chose was the dogs and I found it interesting how the dogs were used for foreshadowing when they barked at Santiago and when they ate the guts.]]> 2023-05-10 18:20:27 UTC https://padlet.com/lmcfarland7/k32bh4bzlr2cjrmh/wish/2585933480 mkelly165 https://padlet.com/lmcfarland7/k32bh4bzlr2cjrmh/wish/2585933801 The magical realism I used was Magical is ordinary because While Santiago was being stabbed no blood was coming out until they stabbed him in the back. I said this was magical in the ordinary because he was literally being stabbed in the back by the twins, they murdered him and never talked to him and told him why. I also used a quote "were holding him up stabs aganist the door" (Marquez 119).

Machismo furthers these roles by expressing that women are more delicate and should stay home, whereas men should venture into society and have a more labor-intensive job. Maria goes against these roles by successfully maintaining her job as a prostitute, which machismo deems not honorable. Angela goes against these traditional roles by not saving herself as a virgin for her husband. Additionally, Bayardo seemed to go against these societal expectations as he plunged into alcoholism, leaving him unable to complete the tasks typical men would have, such as earning an income, hunting, riding a horse, etc.]]> 2023-05-10 18:20:58 UTC https://padlet.com/lmcfarland7/k32bh4bzlr2cjrmh/wish/2585934121 tmcglinn1 https://padlet.com/lmcfarland7/k32bh4bzlr2cjrmh/wish/2585938978 The roles of men and women in Latin America express the concept of Machismo. Men were expected to be brave, dominant, , honorable, and emotionless. Women were expected to take care of the family, house, and to be a virgin. Men were encouraged to dominate the women. An important aspect of the Latin American Culture is the value of honor. Angela put the blame on Santiago for the man who stole her virginity. She made this lie up so she does not destroy her family's honor by her 'wrong doing'. This lie was the reason Santiago died. In order for Angela's brothers, Pedro and Pablo, to restore their sister's honor, they had to murder their old friend, leaving them with intense guilt that causes their own physiological problems. ]]> 2023-05-10 18:24:57 UTC https://padlet.com/lmcfarland7/k32bh4bzlr2cjrmh/wish/2585938978 mkelly165 https://padlet.com/lmcfarland7/k32bh4bzlr2cjrmh/wish/2585939126 Usually, women were so housekeepers and just were supposed to sit back but women like Clotide and Maria were strong women.

The cocks act as an alarm or warning sign to Santiago as they crow on the morning of his death. This displays magical realism through extraordinary and ordinary being one and the same as the cocks could not genuinely know of Santiago's upcoming death. Additionally, the dogs act as the spirit of the individuals who want Santiago dead. It is shown that throughout the entirety of the book, the dogs want guts, and furthermore, they want Santiago's gut. This displays magical realism as the dogs represent people wanting Santiago dead, and the wanting him dead caused him to physically end up dead.]]> 2023-05-10 18:30:41 UTC https://padlet.com/lmcfarland7/k32bh4bzlr2cjrmh/wish/2585945530 tmcglinn1 https://padlet.com/lmcfarland7/k32bh4bzlr2cjrmh/wish/2585946826 In Chronicles of a Death Foretold, dreams represent fate/the future. For example, Santiago's dreams represented the day of his death and his mother could have felt to blame for his death because she did not interpret the dreams correctly.
At the end of the book, Santiago was running through town without anyone stopping him or maybe even noticing him. In one of Santiago's dreams, he was flying on an airplane without hitting any trees in the way or without anything stopping him from flying. His dream of flying through the dreams symbolized the day of his death and how it was going to play out- no one was going to stop him. ]]> 2023-05-10 18:31:44 UTC https://padlet.com/lmcfarland7/k32bh4bzlr2cjrmh/wish/2585946826
