I'm reading the book $Riemannian$ $Geometry$ written by Do Carmo. Here is an example that I cannot understand the explanation he gave.

I really don't understand what he said about why $alpha$ is not an embedding...
No worry about my knowledge on topology, can anyone help me ''translate'' it to the common language that's easy to understand?

          The set $C=alphabigl((-3,0)bigr)$ has two topologies:



          • the topology it inherits from the usual topology in $mathbbR^2$: a set $Asubset C$ is open if there is an open subset of $A^star$ of $mathbbR^2$ such that $A=A^starcap C$.

          • the topology in gets from $(-3,0)$: a set $Asubset C$ is open if there is an open subcet $A^star$ of $(-3,0)$ such that $A=alpha(A^star)$.

          Then, Do Carmo explains why these two topologies are distinct: the second one is locally connected, whereas the first one is no.

            Can I just say that (-3,0) is locally connected while the image of alpha is not, so alpha is not a homeomorphism?
