The Pearl
The Pearl In the book, The Pearl, written by John Steinbeck, Kino is a poor pearl diver who stumbles on the Pearl of the World. Kino hopes the pearl will bring him good fortune, but little does he know the pearl will bring death: hardship, and sorrow. ... Kino¡¯s actions throughout the story as a family man, a pearl diver, and a survivor provide keys to this understanding of Kino¡¯s character. ... As Kino finds the Pearl of the World, one of the first things Kino wants is to receive help from the doctor to cure Coyotito. ... When Kino finds the pearl, to show his affection for Juana, Kino wants to get officially married in the church with her. ... Kino¡¯s whole life is pearl diving. Factors that influence his finding the Pearl of the World is his canoe, how he is taught to dive, and the pearl buyers. ... The way Kino learns to pearl dive is the same as any other kid. ... However, Kino¡¯s real success lay in the hands of the pearl buyers. The pearl buyers only work for one boss, who was very wealthy. The pearl buyers decide how much to pay for pearls. Such as in Kino¡¯s case when he finds his gigantic pearl, the pearl buyers devise a scheme to say that it is fake such as gold to fools gold.
