Breaking Through 10/28/09

Colonel Aureliano Buendía had a meeting with six lawyers who wanted to convince him to sign a treaty that would return some land back to their owners and appeal to the conservative party, it would also return power to the catholic church. He finally had a mental decision that the war didn't matter anymore because people weren't fighting for their own ideas, but because they just wanted more and more power. He signed the paper as his best friend, Colonel Gerineldo Márquez, whom was taken to prison to be executed. Úrsula, hearing this news, went to Aureliano's room that if he were to execute Gerineldo that she would kill him so Aureliano saved Gerineldo deciding that he would try to end the war with both sides being happy. This really makes me feel proud of Aureliano because he changes so much. From being lonely to having a best friend and even sacing his life.
