The solitude of Latin America by Gabriel Garcia Marquez tackles about the history, which has encompasses the recent state of the said country. From the past, he mentioned some event that had happened which up to now has great effects on the country's society and government. From the emergence of war, numerous events were recalled. The navigational developments that have tightening such distances between America and Europe seem to have put prominence on our cultural remoteness. It was said that the untold violence and pain of history are the outcome of longstanding injustice and unspeakable bitterness. The literary approach to these events did not however alleviate the status of their society. Although, despite of oppression, plundering and abandonment, the people has responded with life. Latin America disregards the imitation of strategies of developing states because they are reasoning for originality that is up to now prove their quest. The advance countries have .succeeded in obtaining high economy and accumulating powers of destruction. Latin America is choosing the option of being a subject—not responding to the current situation.
In this article, the army or the military is not visible in terms of their participation in the long history and in the recent depiction of the government. The nature of the army must have come from the low political culture of their society. Latin America cannot move on because of its attachment to the past. The people are not active in participation in the government. Just like in Burma, which up to this day is implementing a kind of government, which keeps its people in a state of fear. The society has a low political y^ culture because of they are contented on having their state weak. The people are divided^ in such a way that there is no unity and they are weakly organized. Opinions of various people is not being heard, even the most influential and powerful person is being subject to disgraceful event.
Latin America's intervention of army may have come from the low political culture of their society. Because of this low political culture, there is an influence-taking place between the state and the army. Since the people are not active participant in the government, the army or the military work behind or inside the government to convince the people. In convincing them, they put threats and sanctions and they try to pressure them by giving limited time. This is visible in the article. It was describe in the article that they do not have a moment's rest. Such scenario includes "numerous women arrested while pregnant have given birth in Argentine prisons, yet nobody knows the whereabouts and identity of their children, who were furtively adopted or sent to an orphanage by order of the military authorities." I think the military or the army here is also doing their work--that is to remove a person from a high position in the government. This intervention level is now displacement of civilian government. This can be seen in the statement: "A promethean president, entrenched in his burning palace, died fighting an army alone; and two suspicious airplane accidents, yet to be explained, cut short the life of another great-hearted/president and that of a democratic soldier who had revived the dignity of his people.

ReplyDeletethe article lacks the outsized reality of latin america that has been presented by marquez. this reality is the crux of the speech.
better luck next time!
Thanks for the comment anyway Ms./Mr. Kushagra. When I wrote this paper, I was in a rush and really have no time to study extensively about the article by Marquez. Actually, my instructor gave me a 2.0 or an average grade for this one. I'm glad, however, that when teachers comment on students' papers, they use encouraging words. I'm sorry if you find my english not good in this one. Please, if this article "lacks the outsized reality of Latin America" and as you said, that reality is the crux of the speech of the author, kindly just add some pointers and details. Thanks again!
