Reflection

In the story “The Pearl” written by John Steinbeck, the main character Kino finds a magical pearl. This book was a bit confusing. The reason I think it was confusing is because it was written a while ago and some parts were very boring. Towards the end of the story I thought It was the most exciting. This book's plot line is tragedy.

During the story Kino makes a huge mistake. He lets the pearl control his life and try to ruin his families life. So the lesson of the story is t learn from your mistakes. Since the pearl was was so powerful and could do anything I think Kino loved the pearl? As much as family. But when it started to control him and his family. He knew it was time to let it go.

At the end of the book was really sad. Kino lost the most important thing in his life… His son. If I was the author I would have Kino throw the pearl back in the water where he found it I didn’t like how the baby died. It was to upsetting to read. Pretty much after I read that one sentence it was hard for me to keep reading. I didn’t want his wife to die to

  1. I like how you supported your thoughts about the book using examples from the story. That is exactly how you write about literature! You might want to revisit this post and make corrections in spelling and sentence structure as those errors make it difficult for readers to understand exactly what you are trying to say.
