        <description><![CDATA[Kino has a traditional provider mentality, in that, he sees others as a block to his success and riches and therefore treats them with suspicion. Because of his way of seeing things, he is competitive. He finds a rare pearl and immediately comes to the conclusion that everyone who knows about it will want to steal it or trick him into selling it at a low price. Throughout the story his obsession with the pearl distracts him from the illness of...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[In Steinbeck's The Pearl, Kino could be considered to be the cause of his own downfall.  Had Kino heeded the warnings and advice of his wife, Juana, regarding the Pearl of the World, he would not have found himself in situations that put himself and his family in danger. 

Now the tension which had been growing in Juana boiled up to the surface and her lips were thin.  "This thing is evil," she cried harshly.  "This pearl is like a...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The priest in this story performs his clergical duties but he is certainly not wholeheartedly a "servant of God." Neither is he portrayed as being abjectly corrupt. He is simply a man tempted by the lust of money and the things it can buy (even if his thoughts turn to ecclesiastical needs!).
Note that Kino and Juanita had not been married "properly" by the church simply because they were too poor to do so. Evidently, the priest could have...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[As the novel opens, Kino awakens before dawn in the small brush hut where he lives with his wife Juana and their baby, Coyotito. He sees Juana moving around, starting the fire to prepare breakfast and tending to the baby. Kino goes outside and walks down to the beach. He hears the waves lapping on the sand, hears the morning birds, and smells the corncakes Juana is cooking inside. Kino is at peace, hearing what Steinbeck calls the Song of the...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The Pearl is set in La Paz, Mexico, a poor coastal town with racial problems which evolved from colonial domination.  This setting provides the background for the conflicts that ensue from Kino's finding the Pearl of the World.  Uneducated in the ways of the world, Kino and his family fall victim to racial prejudices as he is turned away as they seek help from the doctor for their baby, Coyotito, who has been stung by a scorpion.  For, the...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[According to Steinbeck's description, the sea is the source of life.  It is "rich with crawling and swimming and growing things".  The people on the land depend on the sea for their survival; if a man has a boat with which to navigate the sea, he can "guarantee a woman that she will eat something.  For those on the land, a boat provides access to the sea, and acts as "a bulwark against starvation".  Steinbeck indicates that life on the...]]></description>

Their happiness and contentment is expressed in the phrase, the Song of the Family. Once Coyotito is bitten by the scorpion, however, their poverty becomes a crucial factor in their lives and the importance of money is established. They take Coyotito to the doctor in town, but the doctor...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Be careful what you wish for - you just might get it.  That would be the lesson I choose as important, although there are many.  Kino wants to find the "pearl of the world" and all of rewards thereof.  Unfortunately, though he gets his wish, he is then treated like an idiot by the pearl buyers, robbed by a fellow villager, and ultimately almost killed by hunters.  The greatest price, of course, is Coyotito's death.  So, although he really...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[My absolute favorite moral lesson from The Pearl is as follows:  When one depends upon materialism/wealth/money for happiness, true happiness can never be obtained.  The tragedy within The Pearl happens precisely because of the precious object in its title.  Kino's family is destroyed.  Kino's friends turn from him.  Kino's town is in disarray.  In fact, even the precious gift of life as a whole is severely disrupted in The Pearl with...]]></description>
