"The Pearl" Questions

In the book "The Pearl" by John Steinbeck Kino and Juana found a pearl in the ocean. And everyone wanted it. So one night someone came into their hut and was trying to take it. So Juana said that she wanted to get rid of the pearl. She thought that the pearl is going to separate her family and someone may get hurt if they keep the pearl. If i were them i would just pretend that the pearl is gone and then later i would sell the pearl when things are settled down. The pearl will destroy the family when Kino go crazy trying to protect the pearl. If I was Kino I would just get rid of the pearl to keep my family safe. If this would happen Juana would probably leave Kino and take the baby with her. Kino would then feel bad i am hoping and get rid of the pearl. If this did destroy the family I would hope that Kino would br a man and do the right thing. This is what I think will happen if they keep the pearl.
