The Pearl
The pearl was written by John Steinbeck. In the story it talks about a guy name Kino, he is a nice guy, and he care about his family but too bad at the end of the story he can’t save his son Coyotito.
Kino was the one who found the pearl for his wife Juana and his son Coyotito. In the beginning of this story it also talks about a doctor, that doctor is not a good doctor. He discriminates against the poor people. Kino’s wife was very sick and she needed to see doctor but the doctor didn’t care about them because they are poor. After that Kino decided to find a pearl for their family. So he went out in his boat, weighted himself around the waist with a big rock, and went down to the very bottom of the sea, where the pearl hidden. It was a hard trade, and not easy to find a pearl especially in the bottom of the sea. It takes a few years and finally he found it, with the pearl he hopes to buy peace and happiness for himself, his wife and their little Coyotito. But he can’t believe himself that his hope can’t come true because when he come back with the pearl everybody saw it then they start to like and everybody in that little town want to get that pearl. That really brings Kino a lot of problem, and also make Kino kill some people. And at the end his son die, they went to a mountain but those peoples are still following him, still try to get that pearl from Kino. Kino know if he don’t throw that pearl away the problem will never stop, so he throw the pearl into the sea, and go back to that town.
I really enjoy reading this book especially Kino. He is the one interested me. He is a man who found the pearl of the world and he cares about the family. Also one thing about him is really interest me which is he go find the pearl. He knows it is hard to find the pearl in the very bottom of the sea but he still goes find it. It tells me no matter how hard it is to do a thing if you try you could do it.
