The Pearl

The Pearl By Steve In The Pearl, by John Steinbeck, Kino, a poor Indian fisherman, lives on the gulf of California with his wife Juana and son Coyotito. This book sounded interesting because it explained in detail the life of a poor family. Their simple hut is made of brush, and the couple sleeps on mats thrown on the dirt floor, while Coyotito sleeps in a hanging box. Like others in their poor village, they …

…the material world. The p! earl that was supposed to bring him happiness and contentment brings him only death and destruction. At the end of the, both Kino’s dream and his son are dead. Kino was overpowered and became greedy because of pearl. He depended too much on what he thought it could do for him. I recommend this book because it is interesting and makes you want to keep reading it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ **Bibliography**
