Seeing Things Simply

• Princesse hears shouting from  school yeard, crosses the street to watch the roosters battle
• The Banyan tree holds "Vodou" ceremonies at night but people use it during the day for weddings. funerals, and in this case animals fights
• Women are working, selling drinks and lottery tickets. 
• A woman telling her husband to leave in which he replies to leave him alone and he "puts a spell on her" to make her mute.
• The wife laughed and walked away and he cursed her more as she walked

Seems to me like this girl believes in Vodoo and that this man is really putting curses on the woman and she might be a little bit scared. But at the same time, it is a third person communal language which makes e think that she is also not feeling this way at all and its all the author describing what common belief
