Chapter 3 of MBM

Chapter 3 sort of left an emotional scar on me. Through the eyes of Kidder, we (the readers) are able to see just what exactly happens to the people of Haiti. So much disease, graphic descriptions of little kids, it sounded like it came straight from any one of those "virus outbreak-apocalypse" stories. I also learned about voodoo a bit. It seems the people took in voodoo and sorcery when actual working medicine was not available. Now the people are magic-freaks that believe in curses and hexes. The same kind of fear I saw in a movie called "The Mist". Some bits and pieces also remind me of those commercials about adopting beaten-up cats and dogs.
