Reflection on Chap. 3

I thought that in chap. 3 that in the beginning of the chapter, I really liked how the writer described the town. Like it said; "The town acts like a colonial animal". That's what I liked. Also I thought how the pearl saved coyotito's life. But maybe the wound was going away in the first place, and right as they found this pearl, the wound went away. So I don't know if the pearl's luck really exists. And how the pearl is like an evil. There's no luck.
