Because of all .
her crying, she had gone delusional so Nacha a friend of the De La Garzas finished .
making the icing that would end the cake. Nevertheless, that was not all that the tears .
would do. "But the weeping was just the first symptom of a strange intoxication-an acute .
attack of pain and frustration-that seized the guests and scattered them across the patio .
and the grounds and in the bathrooms, all of them wailing over lost love. Everyone there, .
every last person, fell under this spell, and very many of them made it to the bathrooms in .
time-those who didn't joined the collective vomiting that was going all over the patio" .
(35). This created much havoc, that Mama Elena blamed Tita for wrecking her wedding. .
The only way she got out of that conversation was because Nacha passed away.
When Pedro was married to Rosaura, he would always use the nuptial sheets to .
make love and not see Rosaura's naked body. When their son was borne (Roberto) .
Rosaura had no milk to give him and he would not take anything else as in milk from .
cow. The only thing that came into Tita's mind was to give up her nipple. "The baby .
clamped desperately onto the nipple and he sucked and he sucked. When she saw the .
boy's face slowly grow peaceful and when she heard the way he was swallowing, she .
began to suspect that something extraordinary had happened. Was it possible that she was .
feeding the baby? She removed the boy from her breast: a thin stream of milk sprayed .
out" (76). This was impossible since an unmarried woman can not have milk. This seems .
crazy because since it was Rosaura's son she was not the one to feed the baby but the .
sweetheart of Pedro Tita. Therefore, it worked out better for Tita since it would be like if .
it were her own son.
There are some parts of the book that make you think what was the author .
thinking because it blows the mind of the reader reading something so ridiculous as a .
chicken tornado.
