In the book "The Pearl" by John Steinbeck I found out that just one pearl can change many lives and not always in the best way. This book I thought was a bit confusing. The reason I think it was confusing is because it was written a while ago and some of the time the grammar was kind of old so it was hard to under stand. I thought that the plat line was interesting on how the book actually ending. This book's plot line is tragedy.
The lesson of the story is to learn form Kino's mistake. His mistake was that he let the pearl over power his life and, let it ruin him and his family's life. I would never do this to my family. And if I did it would make me so mad and I would never be the same. Kino really loved the pearl to much that he only loved the pearl and not so much his family and he let the pressure take over him.
The ending of the story made me really sad. If it wouldn’t have been for the pearl and Kino's actions his son would not be dead. That really made me mad because I don’t like sad endings. So I really didn’t like the ending of the book. If I was the author of this book I would have ended the book by Kino throwing the pearl back and they would be happy again. And get back to their everyday life again.
