Problem- Solution--- Journal 3

I think that solitude is a problem within in this book and the way that the author, Garcia, handles it is not really the right way. Granted maybe he does it for the amusement of the book and all, but I believe that he should have made them force it, like Fernanda did to the baby Aurelino. Solitude can never make a person better ad it really only most of the time can cause them to withdraw from society and make themselves a different person. And many people within this book get away with the excuse that they need to have solitude. And most of the time it can be used for thinking and figuring out who you are, but when you stay in that long, it can only turn sour.
The author really never faces the topic of maybe why they go and do it this way? I know granted it is in the title, but who knows maybe by facing the habits of withdrawal you can force yourself to find out who you really. I feel like solitude does not for a soul of a person and only causes them to want to end up bitter against the world for it all. Garcia allows for this theme and problem to fester and grow with familia. And instead of stopping it and making them to face the world and explain that he is not crazy and really does have sanity, they go into a room.
You should want to make the best of the one life you got here and they don't seem to use it very well off like that. And sometimes Ursula being the ruler of the family and all of the people, you would think she would put a stop to it. But not even she can handle the fact that solitude is what they all run to and make thier problems larger than life.
