What stood out to me in this book is that the main character did exactly what I thought would happen to him. He started to become so obsessed with the pearl that he became like an animal to defend it. He kills a man, almost kills his wife, and the death of his baby comes back to him. Also his house is destroyed along with his canoe and by the way he reacted those two things meant a lot to him.
The reason why this was important was that he changed everything about himself because he got money. And that just stupid
I could live differently from this because if I ever become so obsessed with something that I start to go crazy then obviously I am doing something wrong. And I could end up (probably not killing someone) but could end up being sour towards my family and friends.
