Summary: Wonderfully Exciting!
Comment: This story takes place a long time ago in a mexican fishing village near a gulf. Natives live near the shore and are pearl divers. They use canoes and dive with no
technical equiptment. The divers houses are made of brush and other natural materials. The rest of the village is made of adobe bricks and mud.
In this book, there are three important charectors. They are a family and their names are Kino, Juana, and Coyotito. Kino is a young man that is strong and fierce. His skin is dark and he is stubborn. He is also very brave. He is married to a lovely young woman named Jauna, who is wise and stubborn. She is very brave and optomistic. She has darkened skin and long dark hair. She loves her baby Coyotito. Coyotito is a baby who is newly born, but very tough. He is very intelligent also. All these charectors make one happy family.
Kino, the fisherman finds the pearl of the world, but the pearl owners won't give him a high enough price. He knows that its worth a lot of money, so he decides to go to a nearby village to sell it. The pearl buyers try to steal it from him in a fight, but he accidentally kills one. They have to set out on foot across the land to escape the law. When they leave, the pearl buyers hire two trackers to follow them and take the pearl. When the family reaches a mountain, they find a place to hide in a cave. Kino attacks the trackers and the pearl buyer, taking the rifle and killing them all. Sadly, the rifle fires and shoots of the poor baby Coyotito's head. When the family returns home, they throw the pearl back into the sea.
I think the moral of this story is bad things can come from good things. It proves the people that think wealth can erase all problems, wrong. I think thats what Stienbeck was trying to get across.
The things that I like about Steinbeck's work is that it proves a point plainly and doesn't say what is already apparent. He wrote so that people could understand him and he made his stories interesting. What I dislike, is that he used lots of discription, too much actually. Also, I don't like how the baby is killed.
Comparing to other books I rate this a 4 out of 5.
