I thought this chapter was intriguing for a few reasons. In the beginning of the book you can already tell that this neighborhood isn't going to be like one you've heard about in other places for other ideas. But, when you find out that this family the Vargases had so many children that life was just a clusterbomb of mistakes and ignorant actions you could see how different this place actually was. When one of them died and not a single person cared except for Esperanza I felt confused because if somethign ever happened like that here it would have been talked around town in matters of hours and everybody wouldn't have cared. I don't understand how something like a dysfunctional family liek the Vargases can have a child die and have everyone just look over it.
