Summary: A Book That Disheartens Your Soul
Review: "The two came from the rutted country road into the city, and they were not walking in single file, Kino ahead and Juana behind, as usual, but side by side. The sun was behind them and their long shadows stalked ahead, and they seemed to carry two towers of darkness with them." John Steinbeck's, The Pearl, is a tragic tale about how a small Mexican family suffers incessantly upon the agony and mishap a simple treasure represents. Kino, a poor, Herculean, male, finds himself burdened with a scorpion-stung baby and weeping wife. ---The kind of wife who labors all she can to cure even a fellow she is not acquainted with. So, with the pain rate high, and the medical aid low, Juana, Kino's faithful soul mate, gives the summon for a doctor. But the doctor doesn't turn out to be as friendly as she anticipates. A streak of prejudice blackens his soul while the sin of laziness spirals about him. The spoiled hump of a man rejects the helpful occupation of curing Coyotito's infection with a laugh. But soon after Kino finds the dazzling "Pearl of the World," a point of view changes. The townspeople are all bewildered with Kino's great find, and eventually become jealous of the luck shed upon him. After awhile, people get desperate for the pearl and grow into vicious, life-threatening, beings. It wasn't long until the family's house was aflame and a nasty contagion spread. The town would do ANYTHING to get that pearl. ---Even go so far as to murder. And so, after a miserable era of poverty and greediness, Kino, a defeated general on a deserted battlefield, flung the pearl into the ocean with all of his might. And the music of the pearl slowly drifted away.

Summary: Chiquita's Review
Review: The pearl is a book that helps identify human greediness and the selfishness of all people. This is a very intriguing book that all readers are easily to relate to. In this book the people who were very poor and didn't have much to choose, from so whatever they had they made good use of it. The wealthy tried to take over the poor by looking down on them,and at one special moment the poor had something great the wealthy wanted so they tried to trick the poor into giving them the great thing. The great thing in this story caused family to slighty fall apart in ways that result in death. Something so great can cause a father to be keep and then risk his child's life. After reading this story you will see that everyone is created equal, but some don't seem to think so at all.

The ending took me by surprise because i wanted everything to turn out good for them. Just as real life goes, it did not have a fairy tale ending. I give this book 3 stars, and would recomend it to everyone !!!

Summary: The Lucky, yet Lost, Pearl
Review: This book is a very good book; it demostrates how life can have some ups and some downs. Secondly, it shows how it is very important to listen to the people around you, especially the ones you love dearly. It also teaches how life can be a game, an sometimes you may win and sometimes you go down with a lost. Finally it shows how people can have two different sides to them, and how it's important to take fast hold of instruction, and let her not go, for it is the way of life.

Review: I enjoyed the book somewhat. At the beginning it was slow starting and I didn't really like it but towards the middle it caught my attention and held it. It ended up with a great bang. An explosive ending.

Summary: The Pearl
Review: I really liked this book. It changed so much from the beginning to the end. At the beginning, it was talking about how nothing would always stay the same and never chang. Then all of the sudden . . . oops . . . it changed BIG TIME! The saddest part of this whole book was at the end. I never cry at a book . . . UNTIL THIS ONE. It was wonderful.
