Summary Of The Book 'The Pearl'

“The Pearl” is a great book that in a few parts was really hard and especially for me to understand in some parts but it was usually those parts that had the deepest meanings. The book starts off in a very small house that you really can 't even call a house because it was more like a shack. This family was like almost every other family in their neighborhood area.

He promises to sell the pearl that has caused them so many troubles. So many bad things happened to him and they even burnt his house
