If I remember correctly...Oh man, I love that book. If I remember correctly, it ends with them awkwardly making love when they're old and sailing away from shore with the yellow cholera flag raised. I thought the ending was perfect. It begins with a man dying because he doesn't think his life will be worth living after 60 and ends with a man finally fulfilling his meaning for living after 60. Also, there is a nice touch with the whole yellow flag representing both the sickness of love and cholera, because for Marquez, they are the same.<BR/><BR/>Of course, I read this the summer before my sophomore junior year, so I could have it all wrong. I just remember really liking it a lot.Megan/Yupinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06410854307774347747noreply@blogger.com
