The Pearl
After finishing the book The Pearl, by John Steinbeck I saw a life lesson in the book. The lessen was you can't turn your back on anyone because at any time no matter what is going on you have to know whether you can count on someone when it really matters. At the end when Coyote dies Juana has Kino’s back and when Kino throws the Pearl in the Gulf Juana is there helping him through it. Then to get through the long journey climbing through mountains going through long paths struggling to find water Kino is there helping Juana and coyotito fight through it. Also I noticed that John Steinbeck has his moments where there the book is very dry, but also had some very exciting parts. John Steinbeck has a way of writing that can be boring when you are reading some parts that could be really exciting. Over all I didn’t like the book because there was so much talk about magic, the evil, and the good spirits. Also I didn’t like it because in the book John Steinbeck talked about Kino and Juana not knowing whether the God or gods were real

You did a nice job in the beginning of this post supporting your thoughts and opinions with evidence from the book. I'm interested in what parts of the book you thoughts were "dry" and why you felt that way. Also, why didn't you like it that Juana and Kino did not know, or believe, whether the God or gods were real? These were interesting comments that you made that left me wondering why you felt that way.
