Abstract
This paper discusses how, in the Latin American cultures represented in the works "Pedro Paramo" by Juan Rulfo and "Chronicle of a Death Foretold" by Gabriel Marquez, ritual plays a major role in the lives of the people. It examines how the authors use the rituals of religion and love to show the power ritual has over the people and how the rituals that the characters in the novels live by shape who they are and what they do. It shows how manifestations of love in "Chronicle of a Death Foretold" are ritualistic and how the novel itself is a ritual, which re-enacts Santiago Nasar's death. It also looks at how "Pedro Paramo" uses the ritual of religion to show how corrupt the town becomes. It demonstrates how the message of corruption, through ritual, is being portrayed by both authors to show the downfall and fallibility of man and how the characters take rituals and corrupt them to fit their needs and wishes rather than respecting the rituals for what they represent.
From the Paper
"The first example of ritual found in Chronicle of a death Foretold is the courtship ritual carried out by Bayardo in his search for Angela?s love. When Bayardo San Roman first comes to town, he decides to marry Angela Vicario, whom he has never met. His courtship of Angela demonstrates the rituals of Latin American marriage in their culture. He brings her a gift of a music box inlaid with mother-of-pearl for her birthday, and obtains everything his future bride asks for. Marquez writes ?He, just to impress her, had bought all the tickets in the raffle? (Marquez 32)1 so that he was sure to win the music box that she desired. The purpose of this courtship ritual is not to cause the lovers to fall deeper in love, but rather to demonstrate the man's affluence and power."

"Gabriel Garcia Marquez's "Chronicle of a Death Foretold" is told in first person narrative by a journalist figure who returns to a Colombian town years after the death of Santiago Nasar. The novel begins with two misunderstandings of Santiago's final dream. Santiago's mother provides one and the other is provided by Santiago himself. These misinterpretations are significant because the narrator will hear many misinterpreted stories of the events that unfolded nearly three decades before and since."

Abstract
The paper states that although "Chronicle of a Death Foretold" is a true story and is told in a non-linear fashion, it reads like a detective story, by combining interviews written in a narrative, journalistic style. The paper describes the plot of the book: Rigid codes of honor can bring about an innocent man?s death and drive two peaceful brothers to murder while the whole town watches and decides to do nothing. The paper's author compares this book to others written by Gabriel Garcia Marquez.
From the Paper
"There is little mention in "Chronicle of a Death Foretold" of the Columbian civil wars and other historical political events that were the backdrop of novels like "One Hundred Years of Solitude", "Leaf Storm" and "In Evil Hour". "Chronicle", however, is also based on a real event. In 1951, Garcia Marquez?s childhood friend Cayetano Gentile was hacked to death by two brothers bent on restoring their sister?s honor. The crime had a lasting impact on the young journalist and eventually served as the catalyst for "Chronicle of a Death Foretold"."

"In the two books Pedro Paramo and Chronicle of a Death Foretold, both main characters are searching for answers of things in the past. Through the nature of the main event, the character?s connection to the main event, and the style of each author?s writing, it is obviously shown that they are searching the past for answers. Both authors make every single point to allude to that idea. It all starts with two simple quotes: 'They?ve already killed him' and 'Pedro Paramo died years ago'."

Abstract
"A Chronicle of a Death Foretold" by Gabriel Garcia Marquez is a complex study of Latin American culture. The paper examines how the author uses many unique stylings to address several problems that are intertwined with the traditional view of woman and the ideas of honor. The paper describes and analyzes the roles that honor code and tradition assume in the chain of events that culminate in Santiago Nasar?s death.
From the Paper
"The brothers feel compelled to exact revenge and redeem their family?s honor despite their own inner reluctance to go through with the crime. The death of the man who they believed had stolen Angela?s virginity must pay for his folly and thus redeem the honor of their family. They cannot back out of this obligation, lest they be seen as cowards. Prudencia, Pablo?s wife, best illustrates the mentality seen here by saying ?I never would have married him if he hadn?t done what a man should do? (Marquez 72). Their public announcement of their plans leaves the villagers responsible to do something to prevent them, however the code of honor that redeems a murderous act is so widely accepted that little to nothing is done."

From the Paper
"In the short novel Chronicle of a Death Foretold, Santiago Nasar is brutally murdered by the Vicario twins as an act of revenge for their sister?s loss of virginity, before her marriage to Bayardo San Rom?n. The entire story consists of recollections and evidence given by witnesses to the crime, people who knew Nasar, and those directly involved in his murder. The story is inconclusive, and the events that are described are so ambiguous that they indicate neither guilt nor innocence. Certain characters seem to be convinced of his guilt, while others are certain that he is the innocent victim of someone?s search for a scapegoat. "

Abstract
In the book, "Chronicle of a Death Foretold", author Gabriel Garcia Marquez weaves the theme of honor throughout the storyline. This paper discusses how honor is perceived by the different characters in the book, including the murderous Vicario brothers and the family of the slain Santiago Nasar.
From the Paper
"However, no such "other man" ever surfaces, and Angela lives out the next quarter-century as a spinster, becoming (it turns out) obsessed with the slim, strong and handsome fellow she married, Bayardo San Roman. For decades, she writes him letter after letter, eventually pouring her heart out to this man who "returned" her - much as one might return a defective lamp or set of dishes. She gets no reply, until one day he shows up on her doorstep, overweight and farsighted, brightly declaring, "'Well, here I am'" (95). He brings clothing with him, as if to stay, and a suitcase filled with her letters, nearly two thousand in all, arranged by date and neatly tied with colorful ribbons - all of them, it should be noted, meticulously unopened."

Abstract
This paper examines how social stratification in terms of gender, socio-economic status, and race are the themes explored by Marquez and Morrison in the cultures of oppression and racism illustrated in the novels, "Chronicle of a Death Foretold" and "The Bluest Eye", respectively. It looks at how, in "Chronicle of a Death Foretold", the great divide between the poor and wealthy classes of Latin-American society is evident, as witnesses that have encountered Nasar prior to his death delivered accounts that bring out great hostility against the murdered man. It shows how, similar to Marquez?s theme, Morrison illustrates the culture of racism affecting the society and individuals' perceptions of each other. However, unlike Marquez?s novel, Morrison?s Pecola succumbed to insanity as a form of escape from the oppression and racism that she cannot get away from in both the black and white American societies.
From the Paper
"Marquez?s portrayal of the culture of oppression is illustrated explicitly in the novel, Chronicle of a Death Foretold, which narrates the events leading to the death of Santiago Nasar. In this novel, the great divide between the poor and wealthy classes of Latin-American society is evident, as witnesses that have encountered Nasar prior to his death delivered accounts that bring out great hostility against the murdered man. An illustration of Nasar and his family?s oppressive nature within their town is shown in the first part of the novel. Nasar?s unpleasant and unpopular behavior and image in the village is chronicled by the Narrator/author?s accounts of the events that happened prior to his death."

Abstract
This paper examines the content of "The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle" as a primary historical source for the creation of English and England. It shows how the work of historian Venerable Bede documents England prior to the "Chronicle" and details religious and cultural life in that era, while the Chronicle focuses on the broader historical scale of war. It also focuses on the linguistic significance of the "Chronicle" the first important piece of English prose.
From the paper:
"One of the most important aspects of 'The Angle-Saxon Chronicle' is that it is the first continuous national history of any western people in their own language. Written down by a succession of generations of scribes, 'The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle' covers such fundamentally important events in the history of early England as the migration of the Saxon war-lords, the results of the Romanization of Britain, the onslaught of the Vikings, the Norman Conquest and on the reign of Stephen."

Abstract
This paper examines the content and significance of the "Anglo-Saxon Chronicle." It begins by discussing in general about the "Anglo-Saxon Chronicle" and provides some basic background information about the document. The paper then closely examines a few key figures from the "Chronicles", such as Canute the Great, Harold Harefoot and Edward III. The paper illustrates the way that the document presents key information about events and individuals in the medieval history of England and Europe.
From the Paper
"The value of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle to historians of medieval Europe is nearly innumerable. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle provides a clear record of the major events that occurred in England from the time it was first written in the late 9th century until the 12th century AD. In addition, the authors traced back events to the birth of Christ, providing a comprehensive history of England and her people, written by the first people who could be historically called English. Scholars of medieval history can utilize this text to provide a fuller understanding of the lives and events that shaped the historical development of England and Europe."

Abstract
The paper focuses on the irony of the Native-American gaming industry the author discusses in his book. The paper discusses how today the Native-Americans are capitalizing on the white's propensity for gaming and greed while for centuries, whites have capitalized on the Native-Americans, taking their land, relocating them and altering their lives. However, the paper reveals that the cultural differences between whites and Native-Americans are just as strong today as they ever have been. The paper illustrates how the author chronicles the story of his hometown, Tama, Iowa and how he demonstrates the many subtle and not-so-subtle issues of racism throughout the book. The paper concludes that the "The Heartland Chronicles" shows how differences between races are exceedingly difficult to eradicate.
From the Paper
"Throughout this book, the anthropologist author chronicles the story of his hometown, Tama, Iowa. It would seem that would tell a bucolic story of moms, apple pie, farms, and Midwestern American values. However, the author shows those stereotypes belong in Hollywood, rather than Iowa. In actuality, the "town" people are distrustful and afraid of the Native Americans and their settlement outside of town. They make up shocking stories about things that happen on the reservation, and maintain that the Indians are only good for violence, drinking, and terrorizing whites."
