The Pearl

The pearl

Why do you think that kino believed that this pearl could be the GRATE pearl and be worth thousands or maybe millions?
In this story that John Stein Beck wrote The Pearl: Kino was the one who mostly was thinking about that pearl is, or was special. Kino thinks thought this because of the way that when he found it the pearl was able to heal Kino's son’s wounds. He didn’t even think about the fact that something ells could have healed his son or something. If that where me, I would have thought first because he put some special healing cream on the wound of his son.

Then he just finds the pearl and the wound is all gone. I think it might be a mistake that this “Magical peal” was really worth nothing and everyone just thought it was. It may have been clean and really shiny but It could also be a bad luck pearl. I say this because of the things it did to their family. It could be what they thought It might be it could just be a normal pearl and everyone might just be getting fulled for no reason.

When the baby healed from the scorpion sting I thought that it might have actually been the pearl. After reading that chapter a little more it seems like it could be the sea weed and that remedy that they had put on the baby to help it . Even in the middle of the book why would someone with a tone of practice with looking at pearls just say it worth a low amount of money unless it is. I know that these people might always try to trick the people in the village out of money or something but Maybe the author tried to make it seem that way.

Like the pearl buys knew it was worth a lot but once they saw the real pearl. They probably thought that he was just trying to scam him out of big buck so they would counter the scam. For all we know the pearl could have been fact and Kino could have been lying. Unless if they were really lying just because the pearl was really shiny it could have been worth a lot of money but not as much as kino thought.

They could have been telling the truth about how much it was worth or they might have taken down the price by like 1 or maybe 200. I don’t think that someone would try to fool someone with money if they really wanted something that someone ells had. I think they would give him the right amount for it. If they really didn’t think that it was worth that much they might not have even gave him the offer that big.

If Kino had just taken the number of money that the pearl buyers gave him he might still be able to have a lot of money and send his kid to school. Get a better house for his family and all the other things that he was gonna do.

I don’t get how the pearl buyers think that the pearl is only worth so much when Kino thinks the pearl could be worth more than 200 thousand. Even though Kino didn’t know that much about reading or anything like that he might have just taken the money and had let it be without saying anything about it. From that part of the book to the end where the baby died I think that it was kind of put into a hole. When I read that the pearl buyers planed out the amount of money that they where gonna give him I was wounding what ells they planned.


Their fore, the book seems like everything they went through was planned by the pearl buyers. After he found the pearl I wonder if they had lead kino and his family to leave the village so that they could get him to hate the pearl and give it up for free. But It back fired on them because he just threw the pearl away into the ocean and made sure no one ells would have to go through what they went through.
