Ghosts
Who is the first ghost Juan Preciado meets in Pedro Paramo?
Abundio
What is going to happen next? "Her back to us, rising up on tiptoes, she opened the cage and took out the bird."
Sara eats it! "When Sara turned toward us, the bird was no longer there. Her mouth, nose, chin, and hands were stained with blood. She smiled, ashamed, her giant mouth arched and opened, and her red teeth forced me to jump up."
What comes first in the fabula? The discovery of ice or the the firing squad?
The ice!
Who's being described: "After a few steps he fell; inside, he was begging for help, but no words were audible. He fell to the ground with a thud, and lay there, collapsed like a pile of rocks."
Pedro Paramo
Whose death marked Macondo "with a small dot on the motley maps of death"?
Melquiades
Who is being described? "With the secret and implacable labor of a small ant she predisposed the women of the village against the flightiness of their husbands, who were preparing for the move."
Ursula Buendia
Where are we? "Now an intermittent breeze shook the branches of the pomegranate tree, loosing showers of heavy rain, spattering the ground with gleaming drops that dulled as they sank into the earth. The hens still huddled on their roost, suddenly flapped their wings and strutted out to the patio, heads bobbing, pecking worms unearthed by rain."
Past Comala
Where are we? "I went down the corridor as far as the oak door, which was ajar, then turned into the hall toward the kitchen, when I heard something in the library or the dining room. The sound came through a muted and indistinct, a chair being nocked over on the carpet or the muffled buzzing of a conversation."
Who is speaking? "The warm sand felt so good against my body. My eyes closed, my arms flung wide and my legs open to the breeze from the sea. The sea stretched before me, stretching toward the horizon, leaving its foam on my feet as the waves washed in..."
Susana San Juan
Who is this describing? "He pulled his head beneath his shoulders like a baby chick and remained motionless with his forehead against the trunk of the chestnut tree."
CAB
Who is this passage about? "They lost their sense of reality, the notion of time, the rhythm of daily habits."
Amaranta Ursula and Aureliano
Who is this? "It was a dark old man with large green eyes that gave his face a ghostly phosphorescence and with a cross of ashes on his forehead."
The last of the 17 Aurelianos.
Dorotea
Which animal is Rema studying while the tiger eats the Kid?
Where is this passage from? "With relief, with humiliation, with terror, he realized that he, too, was but an appearance, that another man was dreaming him."
"Circular Ruins"
Whose room is this? "They gave her a room upstairs all to herself, the loveliest room. A grownup's room.... and inside, another tiny room with an enormous wild cardinal."
Whose description is this? "he saw the gloomy old man with his crow's-wing hat like the materialization of a memory that had been in his head since long before he was born."
Melquiades' ghost
What animal is described as having a "mineral lethargy"?
'Get out, please,' says my husband. 'Get our right now.'
David, who is really Nina
Who is this? "...a woman who was lost in the world. She had been born and raised in a city six hundred miles away, a gloomy city... In the manor house, which was paved with tomblike slabs, the sun was never seen. The air had died in the cypress in the courtyard, in the pale trappings of the bedrooms, in the dripping archways of the garden of perennials."
