Could you imagine something like this happening to you? In this book The Pearl by John Steinbeck it is very exciting and the main character, Kino changed a lot. Kino went from very poor and unselfish to very greedy and did not care about anything else. I think the author was trying to give the message be grateful for what you get and don’t ask for more. Kino was a poor Indian and was very unselfish. He was considered the leader of the indigenous people. He went diving for pearls one day and found the pearl of the world and after that nothing was the same. All the visions Kino had somehow turned against him.
Kino had visions of him getting married with the pearls money and his son getting an education but all that unselfishness went to waste. Since he got rich everyone wanted his money. He felt like he was in a battle field and had to protect the pearl. He went to the pearl buyers and of course they tried to rip him off but he made them go high. When they went really high he still wanted more and more. He got so frustrated and mad he said he was going to the capital.
He was so selfish he made his own family go to the capital on a long harsh journey. He got so mad and selfish he beat his wife up but the weird thing was she did not mind. People were sent out on a search to find Kino and Juana because of the pearl. Those people were sent to kill him but instead Kino killed them but not in time before they killed Cyotito.
That’s not all that happened though. Kino finally realized what he turned into and threw the pearl in the ocean. Kino was poor until he found an amazing pearl but it turned against him. He thought the only thing that would be different was he was rich but everything changed. He was very unselfish until this happened. Amazing visions that he had suddenly all went wrong.
