¨without the waters of the moon to replenish the oceans there would be no oceans. And the salt waters of the ocean are drawn...and in turn become again the waters of the moon.¨ (121 Anaya)
The author is telling us this because Antonio , through a dream, realizes that he does not have to choose either the Luna or the Marez blood , but can make his own choices.

(Chapter: 10)
"My only other avenue to the golden carp would be Cico, so everyday I finished the river, and watched and waited."

Golden Carp (symbolizes):
- Subconscious
-Emotions
-Healing
-Purification
-Transformation
‣ Maybe Anotino's dream about the golden carp was telling him something in his life was about to change.
↖Either dramatically or for the better

"I had never seen anything like it, we seemed to travel a sea of calmness but all around the sky darkened." (90 Anaya)

"It is true that no person of evil, no bruja, can walk through a door guarded by the Holy Cross."(pg. 134) The people of Guadalupe have the belief that all witches are bad. When Ultima cured Lucas from the curse that Tenorio's daughters laid, she had proven to be a good witch. She even said she was a "good curandera." People believe Ultima isn't a witch because they saw that she appeared on the other side of the door guarded by the cross.

"...poured sulfur on the coals of the fire and that the flames rise up in a devilish fashion"
(87 Anaya) The people of Guadalupe believe that all witches are wicked and because this took place in the forest, the forest symbolizes all that is bad.

"I knew I had witnessed a miraculous thing... what I had expected God to do ... the monstrous black bass that had broken the surface of the waters," (page 114). The overall significance is that good is alongside the bad. Once the pureness and holiness of the golden fish had left, the hideous, evil fish followed. One good thing cannot come without the bad, it's the balance of life.

The Golden Carp
"Behold the golden carp...the huge, beautiful form glided through the blue waters...the sunlight glistened off his golden scales" (113). The author shows how admired the golden carp was by describing how it responds to the environment.

"The power of the doctors and the power of the church had
failed to cure my uncle. Now everyone depended on
Ultima's magic. Was it possible that there was more power
in Ultima's magic than in the priest?" (pg 99)
This is when Tony starts to doubt God and part of growing up because I remember when I first learned about evolution.

" I could not have been more entranced if I had seen the virgin of God Himself."

(page 114). When seeing the Golden Carp, Antonio is able to piece together his own identity by incorporating bits from both the religion that the Golden Carp stands for, and Catholicism.

"Evil is not so easy to destroy."

There will always be good and evil and when there are challenges in life, you have to stay determined and face them rather than to turn away from them.
