the town is said to have a nervous system.give three examples to show why you agree with this statement

Steinbeck portrays the town a powerful unit, full of men who work together to suppress the deviant elements in their midst. Kino finding the Pearl triggers a nerve throughout the town. In fact everything Kino does triggers a nerve in the town from trying to sell to speculators to walking to the city. The town seems to react as one organism to KIno's fate and destiny.

Oh yes, I do agree with this statemnt. I think Steinbeck is trying to portray a sort of naturalism to Kino's environment. Everything seems to be organic including the relationship berween the villagers to each other and their envronment. Any disturbance,good or bad, affects the town.
