Identification of the main character:
I identified the main character when she is always wanting for something and she never gives up just to get that something. And she does not accept any of her mistakes because of pride.
 
Supporting Characters:
Lorenzo Daza he's the father of Fermina and he is a driver;he doesn't want Florentino Ariza and forced to break Florentino and Fermina's relationship.
America Vicuna - a fourteen year old girl which lived with Florentino at the end of the novel and they have a sexual relationship. But she killed herself because of her love for Florentino.
Jeremiah de Saint-Amour - he is a photographer and a chess player and he is the one is introduced on the first part and he committed suicide.


III. Setting:

  - The novel is set s\in a port somewhere in the Carribean, near Magdalena River. And there is no specific time in the novel.
  - The setting makes the story very tragic and at the same time, romantic.

IV. Plot:
 - Florentino and Fermina met when Florentino is delivering a maile for Fermina's father . Florentino fell inlove with Fermina. Fermina is always accompanied by her Aunt to school. Florentino always watches Fermina on her way to school. Florentino gave a letter to Fermina. Fermina refused the letter of Florentino because she has to ask her father's permission first.
-As the years go by, Florentino and Fermina send letters to each other.
-Florentino proposed to Fermina.
-Lorenzo discoverd the love letters and the affair between Florentino and Fermina.
-Dr. Urbino courted Fermina but she refued it because it's her father's will that Dr. Urbino and Fermina will wed.
-There is a cholera outbreak aboard and Florentino and the others will be cruising the river forever.
V. Theme

What is the author trying to say in the story?

-  The author is trying to say that love is like a disease that will never be cured if you are not with the one you love.

what I learned from this story: 
If you truly love a person, you have to fight for it for your right and you should not surrender unitl the end of time.

State a problem and how it was solved:

-The only problem that's in the story is that, Fermina lost her communication to Florentino because her father sent her on a journey that will never end unless she will forget everything about Florentino.
 
VI. Evaluation of the Book:

-The book is interesting because is shows what a person can do just for love. It also shows courage and bravery.
