How to understand this example in Do Carmo?

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 $mathbb{R}^2$: a set $Asubset C$ is open if there is an open subset of $A^star$ of $mathbb{R}^2$ 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?

That would be correct. On the other hand, that is what Do Carmo is claiming.
