What does Antonio learn from his conversation with Gabriel during the trip to El Puerto after Florence??s death? How does this lesson help to prepare him for the challenges that lie ahead?

is it that antonio needed to learn to be independent? and what else did he learn?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: You've suggested a good start to the answer yourself. I've read the book and found it to be a moving narrative because of the characters, the situation and the strong element of magical realism. Perhaps you might try to relate what he learned (or thinks he learned) with how his attitude toward magic in his life (or that of those around him) may have changed.

Look at how he approaches the challenges that follow and see if there is anything in his conversation with Gabriel that you recognize being applied to meet those challenges.

If you think of it as detective work, the answer might come a little easier and you might have a little extra fun finding it.
