Solitude 10/27/09

In the midst of the war General Gerineldo Márquez was the mayor of Macondo in which he took orders from Colonel Aureliano Buendía. Márquez was slowly realizing that the war was making no progress and he told Buendía to start caring about people because he would end up lonely and cold. Buendía didn't understand so he continued to have men help him in the war, but whoever he didn't like or felt was a threat would be killed before his order was even given and because of this he was slowly feeling more and more in a state of solitude. This makes me feel really bad for Buendía.
