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

So far in the book I think it is okay. I wouldn't read it again because I think the book so far is kinda boring.. There is some parts in the book where they get a little exciting but most of the time its hard to follow. I think if the author put better word choice and expanded out some parts of the book it be better.

Mary Poppins Essay.
Did you ever need something so much, That it floated from the sky when you wanted it? Well in Mary Poppins that's basically what happens. When Mr. Banks family needs a new nanny Mary Poppins floats down from the sky with her umbrella. The Banks family need a new nanny because the children very not well behaved. The movie "Mary Poppins" follows the plotline of romance.
In romance's plotline there is only to points in it. The miner conflict and the life symbolism. The miner conflict is the Mr. Bank and Mrs. Bank need a nanny for there children. They’ve had nannies before but the children are so out of control that the old nanny left and they now need a new one. That's when Mary Poppins comes in!
The life symbolism is that Mr. Bank learns to spend more time with his kids. While they get more behaved by Mary Poppins he starts to learn that he need to spend more time with them. By the end of the story Mr. Bank and Mrs. Bank spend and talk more to there children. For an example if they spent a day with Mary Poppins they ask what they did with her.
Besides just talking about the miner conflict and the life symbolism there is one more details in the plotline that you should never forget; the characteristics. In "Mary Poppins there is a lot of animals. There were foxes, birds, squirrels and more. The parts with a lot of the animals reminded me of "Snow White". When Snow White is singing and cleaning ll the animals join is and help her. There is alot of singing and dancing. Some parts of the movie can be very colorful.

Story Starter!
It was a windy day when the man crossed the road and went into the bus station. He was going to travel to New York to see his new baby grand daughter. It was 11 A.M. He got on the train and was very exhausted. He relaxed in his chair. Almost falling asleep. So he decided to take a nap.
The train stopped in a mysterious tunnel and that's when he woke up. He heard a scream from a women. He was scared. All the passengers were scared. So he took his phone out of his pocket... No signal. Everyone looked out the windows and the lights of the tunnel would turn off then on. They started to hear more and more screams!! Getting closer and closer but after five minutes of nothing but screaming... It stopped and the train was moving.
For about hour the man was still on the train. He saw a little girl singing and looking out the window in the seat in front of him. That made him smile. He was just so happy after that. She was singing "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" He stood up and started to sing with her. She smiled back and they sang louder as everyone on the train joined in. He couldn't to tell his family in New York about his adventure.

Words
To me we could never live without words?? Well if you think about it,we would have words no matter what... Look around you. What do you see. You probably see letters, letters that make into words. What your reading is words. In a book there are words. When ever we speak we use words. I think words are a very terrific thing and I could never live without them.
