This is a strange reading. In this book it seems like there are run on sentences and the way some of the words are arrange are different. The book starts with the narrator, probably the person who killed Santiago Nasar telling the story of Santiago. Before his death Santiago had dreams in which he was going through timber trees, and dreams that he was flying through the forest in a tin foil plane. From the readings of his mother, she said those are not ominous and no harm can come from it. Santiago was in a good the day was was killed. It was said that the day he died the weather was mostly cloudy skies, and a slight drizzle. He whore what he wore on special occasions which was white linage. When his father died he had to stop his studies so he can keep the farm going. Him and his father spoke Arabic with each other, but not in front of the mother so she wouldn't feel excluded. Victoria Guzman and her daughter Divina Flor, who serve Santiago coffee almost every morning heard Santiago was going to be killed but wasn't sure if this was true or not. Under the front door of house, there was a letter that said someone was waiting to kill him, but that letter wasn't read until his death.

"I also knew that he kept the guns in one place and hid the ammunition in another far removed so that nobody, not even casually, would yield to the temptation of loading them inside the house"(Marquez 6).

This is a good method in making sure your home is safe when you have kids and a weapon such as a gun in the house. This method requires searching unless the two objects are known where to be found. These two objects of course are the gun and bullets, with one but the not other, the weapon can not be in use in no way. The separation of the two guarantee safety. I say this is a good for a house hold where children are around. In some areas guns maybe be required in every home as a way of safety precaution of keeping the family safe from intruders that have the mentality to harm in any way or to still.
this quote is ironic as the safety will not prevent a murder from happening.
