Flawlessly expressed from former president Franklin D. Roosevelt, “Happiness is not in the mere possession of money; it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative effort” (Brooks). In “El Tonto Del Barrio” or “The neighborhood Idiot” by Jose Armas, money enervated the joy and creativity of Romero, and because of this, his emotional freedom vanished under the financial mindset that got bestowed upon him by misguided influence. The underlying theme of money’s inability to create happiness

The novel also starts off by the Salinas River near the Gabilan Mountains, “A few miles south of Soledad, the Salinas River drops close to the hillside bank and runs deep and green.” The story ends in the exact same place, “The deep green pool of the Salinas River was still in the late afternoon.” The significance of the novel beginning and ending in the same setting is to convey that there was no movement

The symbolism of the Pearl A pearl is a hard, lustrous spherical mass, typically white or bluish-gray, formed within the shell of a pearl oyster or other bivalve mollusk and highly prized as a gem. But everyone always has a different thought of what it symbolizes. In the story the Pearl, it is demonstrated that the pearl symbolizes something different to each person. As, Kino and Juana go fishing one day for oysters. Kino dives down into the water and finds a big oyster. After opening the biggest
before this I make sure Coyotito is still resting and makes no noise. Without thinking of anything else but the destruction this pearl will bring to our lives. The shore was closer but I perceive the presence of my husband, Kino and broke into a run. As fast as my body allow me to, my arms were up to throw but Kino was full of rage and violently twisted and pulled the pearl away from me.
started when the pearl was found, there were devastating consequences for the family. Some consider that Kino is most responsible for what occurred, while others might blame something supernatural and claim that the Pearl was to blame. It may seem clear to know that it was Kino who caused it, but it was the pearl because the pearl wasn’t meant to be in that part of the ocean, and the pearl is a way for evil to rise and take control for people to have jealousy and do sins. The pearl is responsible
wife, and Coyotito, his son, to overcome greed and jealousy and all people infected by it. The symbols, including the pearl, the town members and even Kino himself, represent greed and anger.

morning, Kino was fortunate enough to find a large pearl and discovered it had wondrous powers, which were good and bad. Greed, Possession and Money Later in the day when the family found the wonderful pearl neighbors gathered at the couple’s house to witness its beauty and power. Those in need began to ask Kino for help but Kino believed the pearl should be used in providing his son with the schooling he never got as a young boy. Juana saw that the pearl brought out the worst in Kino and brought it
The 1945 novella The Pearl by John Steinbeck is a story that contains many life lessons. The main characters, Kino, Juana, and Coyotito, go through an intense journey and suffer greatly in the end, all due to a pearl. Steinbeck uses the literary devices of personification and foreshadowing in his novella in order to show that being greedy will cause a person distress and bad luck. The events that the family goes through are prime examples of this and Steinbeck hopes that people learn from the novella
What looks like greed is not always what it seems. This can be seen in the story Ghost of the Lagoon, by Armstrong Sperry. In the story, the main character, Mako, is a boy that seems about 11-12 years old. He is accompanied everywhere by his dog, Afa. The story begins with Mako talking to his grandfather. They discuss Tupa, a shark-ghost that is accompanied by an abundance of myth and legend. During the course of the conversation, Mako finds out that his father was killed by Tupa. The next day, when
In The Pearl, John Steinbeck uses the protagonists to show how their relationship changes throughout the book as they are challenged by events that occur. Juana has a typical husband relationship where he is the man of the house, and he is the person that is suppose to support the family. When women got married, the man is suppose to be the person that Coyotito is now hurt, but when they take him to the doctor, the doctor will not see him. Whenever Kino has to go find a pearl, because it's the
Steinbeck conveys the central theme of The Pearl, that one can get carried away by their dreams and everyone must exercise caution when dreaming big, especially when dreaming about material things. ITC 1 Development 1: Steinbeck uses a motif of illusions and mirages to emphasize how dreams of wealth and material possessions can be tremendously deceiving. On page 43 of The Pearl, the omniscient narrator is describing the morning where Kino is walking to the local pearl buyers and is prepared for the pearl’s
Juana puts a home remedy on Coyotito’s wound before they go and try to find pearls. When Kino is under water, he sees a massive oyster with something shimmering inside. He goes back to the surface and pries open the oyster revealing a large pearl. By the time he got back to shore, everyone in his neighborhood knew what he had found. One of his neighbors asked what he was going to use the pearl on. Kino lists a couple wants and then the doctor arrives. The doctor is claiming that

He has good intentions; However, his materialistic obsession leads to the death of loved ones and chaos in the community and within his family. One of the morals of this story is that
All people tell stories to explain their world. The stories I remember included witchcraft and voodoo. In depth, the Greeks told about gods and superpowers in myths. They used these to explain how their world functions. Let me give you three examples. In the myths Midas, the great musician and origin or seasons, the archetypes of explaining something, teaching a lesson and teaching a lesson, appear, which demonstrates their importance in ancient Greek culture. For example, in the myth “Midas” the
going on. In the fiction novel The Pearl by John Steinbeck, Kino and Juana child Coyotito was bitten by a scorpion. They needed their child to be cured, but they didn’t have the money to pay for the treatment. The doctor refused to help them out in less they paid him.
