The Pearl Reflections

So far in this book The Pearl by John Steinbeck it has been very interesting. It also has been very good. I was very surprised at the beginning when Cyotito got stung by the scorpion. When he got stung I did not no what to think. I never have read a book like this when something horrible happened so quickly. I was definitely confused when the poison started to exit Cyotito's body because Steinbeck said Kino was crying but I could not tell if it was tears of joy or sadness. The part I liked most of this book was when Kino found the big pearl I felt happy for them. The part I liked least was when the doctor denied helping them because that is racism.
