This book is about various human behaviours from anxiety and stress to severe disorders of mood and thought. However, I focused on the act of incest and what kind of people usually commits this act. This book was very reliable because it gave me the information that I needed to make connections between real life people in today’s society and the fictional characters that displayed the same traits in the novel. This source focused on incest while other sources focused more on the novel itself and themes within the novel. I felt this was beneficial because many people have their own pre-conceived ideas of what the theme of incest is, this gives a concrete definition, and being concrete as hard as it may seem is very important to the paper.

In this writing, we get a better understanding of how the novel One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez relates to the theme of incest. This helps me with my paper by how it supported the idea that incest is all throughout the book. While this gives me more of a relevancy to the book, it was rather difficult to understand the views of the author because of the small font of the screen and the conspicuous use of advanced vocabulary. This source however was somewhat reliable because it did give me the information that I was looking for in order to get my point across in the paper.

This book helped me to realize how young people can react to being victims of incest and how families perceive incest. This differs from the other sources by how it gives me a general reasoning about incest and therefore helps me to understand incest better. In addition, it gives me insight on how parents can influence their children to commit the act of incest without initially being a victim of it.

Being that the themes are spread throughout the book, a mixture of quotes and passages proved of assistance in my search for knowledge. The characters and their personalities helped to show signs of certain themes of the book. For example, Jose Arcadio Buendia places himself into seclusion after discovering that none of the objects the gypsies brought to him works. From this point on, many of his children display the same thoughts and actions when they come across harsh conditions. Therefore, the book is a very helpful source to understanding and using ''hands'' on material.
