<em><u>Explanation:</u></em>
In John Steinbeck's short story The Chrysanthemums, he depicts the Salinas Valley covered in haze with the highest points of the mountains not unmistakable so he considers this a "closed pot". Possibly this is identified with Elisa when she gets the voyaging blade sharpener/pot repairer man to fix a few marks in her pots. She clearly finds these for him to fix so as not to frustrate him and out of sympathy for him thinking that its difficult to get some business that day.
she discovers how beautiful the wood is and sees all the animals it inhabits. She also meets and talks to Jesse Tuck. Jesse tries to stop her from drinking his secret spurt of water.
