American Author chapters 1- 2

"The sun was warming the bush house, breaking through its crevices in long streaks. And one of the streaks fell on the hanging box where Coyotito lay, and on the ropes it held it. It was a tiny movement that drew their eyes to the hanging box Kino and Juana froze in their positions . Down the rope that hung the baby's box from the roof support a scorpion moved slowly. His stinging tail was straight out behind him, but he could whip it up in a flash of time. Kino's breath whistled in his nostrils and he opened his mouth to stop it. And then the startled look was gone from him and the rigidity from his body. In his mind a new song had come , the song of evil , the music of the enemy, of any foe of the family, a savage, secret, dangerous melody, and underneath , the song of the family cried plaintively."
pgs 4-5
What i noticed about his writing was he describes everything. He even details what hes detailing if that makes any sense? He goes on and on and on it which is good and bad. Bad because you get the point where hes going with it. But good because i think the way he writes like that is because he wants you to know how everything feels how everything looks how big and how small it is.

Summary: It starts with him waking up and noticing everything like the night sky and his wife and then his wife and him see a scorpion on the ropes that are holding coyotito basket with him in it and then the scorpion falls and stings him and juana is scared and so they go to the village doctor who basically hates kinos kind and only works for the rich because hes selfish and greedy and doesnt accept Kinos money so they walk down to the beach and they went in a canoe and Juana goes in and piles up some brown sea weed to put it over the swelling and prayed while Kino dives to find pearls to pay the doctor.
