"The Pearl" by John Steinbeck Self Reflection

The main characters in the pearl are Kino, Juana, and Coyotito. Kino is the leader of his people. In the first chapter I liked how that really Steinbeck made you be able to picture the scorpion stinging the baby. You could really see what Kino and Juana's culture really was. The reason you could do that is because that when Kino and Juana found the scorpion the song of evil was on Kino and Juana's heads. Kino has many songs there is the song of evil and the song of family and the song of the sea. Also when they went to the doctor far the scorpion sting they did not like that the doctor would not see them because of their skin color and their family. That was very rude. The doctor is races. Kino and Juana are Indian. When Kino found the great pearl in the ocean. He was picturing what his life would be like with the wealth of the pearl. Know that Kino has want he thinks he wants. Everyone some how knows him. That is like using a person to get something you want. The doctor comes to Kino's house and lies about not being there. I think that the doctor when he gave the baby the medicine that was poison and when the doctor came back the baby was very ill. The doctor then cured the baby. Now the doctor wants the pearl for what he did. That is very mean I would have just done it out of the kindness of my heart. Then that night the pearl was almost stolen. Kino stabbed someone and that made that person go away. I don’t like that someone would try to take away someone's wealth when they didn’t have much. This book is not terrible but it is not favorite.
