The Pearl

Posted in Uncategorized | No Comments »

One thing that stood out for me in the book The Pearl is how greedy these people were.  Kino was attacked for his pearl and was driven very far by greed. Kino killed a man because of how clouded he was by this pearl. I guess I learned from this book how life changing one pearl can be. The pearl Kino found was “the pearl of the world,” but instead of taking 1500 Pesos which would have changed his life, he was greedy and went to the capital, which is part of the reason his son dies. I guess this book could help me to see things more clearly.
