Summary: The pearl
Review: Kino was a poor fishman like his father and grandfather. Everythings is normal with his life having a wife and a baby. But one day with a bite from a scorpion, Coyotito almost dead. The greedy doctor won't see Kino's family. They have no choices but to search for the "great pearl of the world" for their son and their great future.
But the pearl didn't bring luck or a great future like the legend said. It showed the greedy and the dark sides of humans. This preal broke their family apart. Kino could trust no one now. Everybody is an enemy in his eyes. The pearl had become his soul.
This taught us not to be greedy. i recommed it to the high school students because it is a good lesson for us to learn.

Summary: THE PEARL
Review: In Baja California, Mexico, there was a village called La Paz, which means peace. Bus was there really peace around the village without even tiny conflicts? A poor family, Kino, Juana and Coyotito lived in a brush house. Coyotito got bitten by a scorpion. They had no money to see a doctor. At least they can find a pearl and sell it. Fortunately they found the most beautiful and biggest pearl in the world. Does this pearl bring them the dark side or brightness as it looks beautiful?
I give the rate of 3 for this book. It's a good book for young children to read. It gives the lesson for the kids- "Be satisfied with who you are and what you have." I can't recommend that all the people should read it. I only recommend to those who like adventure books.

Summary: "The Pearl"
Review: The Pearl by John Steinbeck was set at a little village called La Paz in Baja California, Mexico. In this book the main character Kino has Live in this small village with his wife, Juana and his son, Coyotito. Although that they are poor, they all has a great life, until Coyotito had been bitten by the scorpion. Kina had no money to pay for the doctor to treat his son. So they went to the gulf to try to find a pearl, so that he can pay the doctor to treat his son. Fortunately he had found the pearl, and it is not just a little pearl, it is "The Pearl Of The World. "It is as perfect as the moon and as big as the sea gull's egg". First Kino thinks that this pearl will bring a good future to him and his family, but instead this pearl is the root of all the evil. It has brought fear and evil and also a lot of problems to Kino and his family. Will Kino and his family overcome all the problems or will the problems get them?
I think the book "The Pearl" is a very nice book and also a helpful book for everyone, and I will rate it with five stars. I think that everyone should read this book, because it is a very interesting book and it has all kinds of conflicts. And most important is that it tells people never to be greedy, when people are greedy, or want a thing too much, they will never get those things that they want. Instead, they will get something evil.

Summary: Good Book
Review: I thought that Steinbeck's thought's were incredible and the way that he choose his words. Early one morning Kino gets up and sees that there is a scorpian ontop of Coyotito's crib. The scorpian stings Coyotito and they go to the doctor. The only reason Kino found the pearl was because of Coyotito.

Review: The Pearl
By: Will Kern

Boring! That's the one word that I can use to describe this true but uneventful book. I mean it still had events, but lets just say they did nothing to make this book a good read. The book was also too predictable. You knew exactly when something bad are good was going to happen in the book. If something bad were going to happen then a "song of evil" would begin to play. If something nice was going to happen there either wasn't a song or it was a calm song that he would hum.

It is nice that he would write a story that had been passed down for generations in this small little village, but he picked the wrong one. He should have picked one with more action and adventure to it. It was also unfortunate that in the end Kino becomes the bad guy, but learns a lesson that money is not always everything.

John Steinbeck makes a mistake in making the family to blind in what is going on around them. Like when the doctor says the effect of the scorpion sting will come later and may cause Coyotito to become blind. So the doctor gave the baby a white powder in a gelatin capsule. The baby takes the pill, and the doctor says this will stop the pain although the baby seems to have no more pain. He says he will come back in an hour. So he does and for some reason gives the baby water with ammonia. Kino is unable to pay him at the time, but once he sells the pearl he will repay him. He makes a big mistake at that time. The doctor says that he should keep with him, in his safe. At that time Kino looks down at the floor where he has buried the pearl. The doctor realizes it and has a plan. He comes the night to steal it, but wakes Kino and is nearly stabbed. Juana wakes up and tells Kino that they must get rid of it or there will be evil and they will be destroyed. The book could have saved us a lot of trouble and ended right there but Kino refuses to get rid of it.

Later in the book Kino sees Juana walking out towards the beach, he feels a sense of rage, she is going to get rid of the pearl. He sprints after her, and punches her in the face, and then kicks her. He leaves her and walks back up the beach. A man then comes to him in search for the pearl. He starts to fight Kino and he drops the pearl, but it does not matter because he slits the guy's throat and regains the pearl. For some reason Juana forgets all about what Kino has done to her and says that t hey must leave for he has killed a man. It would have kept my interest had there been a little more turmoil between the two, but Juana just shrugs it off. Kino is once again reminded that he should have sold the pearl for it is bringing him much more then he had ever imagined.

This book does show us a good moral though. There are a lot of greedy people in the world, and if you are one of them you should probably read this book. I would not recommend it to those who like an action packed adventurous book.

Summary: The Pearl by John Steinbeck
Review: Although this book may be slim and thin, it gives a powerful and straight forward teachings of the natures of men. Kino, the main character, goes through a tragic event of being unable to afford his son's visit to the doctor as the wound from the poisonous scorpion kept on getting worse. To save his beloved son, he dives into the waters and finds a pearl that seemed to posess the shape and the size of a full moon. When the words quickly spread about the mysterious pearl, he soon finds him self stranded between the greedy who devastatingly want to purchase his beautful item. Unluckly, as the story progresses towards the end, Kino faces many depressing results. However, to those who love short and heart thrilling novels, I highly recommend this book... READ IT TODAY!

Summary: Fantastic book
Review: This slim volume is a very powerful, very entertaining story about greed and human frailty. It makes its excellent points succinctly, within the small framework its given; basically, it says what it has to say and then leaves the rest to the reader. Only occasionally are there books where you get as much out as you put in, and The Pearl by John Steinbeck is one of them. The brilliance of Steinbeck's writing is that he leaves the book open-ended just enough to allow the reader to read his or her own life into it, while keeping it at a swift pace and defining the character's life and decisions on his own. One can definitely see that it was a product of strong writer-reader relationship, and the book would not have functioned nearly as well without the multi-layered approach that Steinbeck took.
