I also think that Úrsula represents the culture of Latin America. However, I would argue that as time goes on, the Buendia family deviates from this Latin American culture. Let's skip foreword to José Arcadio Segundo. He involves himself with the Banana Company, which represents American influences. Also as time passes, the family in the house communicate less and less with each other (for the most part). I really got the cultural family vibe at first, but then afterwards I felt more of a disconnect. Also, I think the influences of the outside world (such as the banana company, government, or Fernanda) take away from the family unit and the culture that it represents. That happens in my house though too. As generations pass, my family has separated into tradition american families rather than one extended family. We learn less and less traditions of Indian culture from our grandparents and parents. Although, our culture is still prevalent. For example, my grandmother lives with me. Overall, I'd like to say the Marquez uses Latin American culture to exemplify the nature of family and culture in response to time and outside influencesSri Korrapatihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10958284116060050787noreply@blogger.com
