The Pearl

      In the story The Pearl by John Steinback the theme of the story is that you should never change who you are just because of something that is worth a lot of money. In the beginning of  The Pearl Kino is very happy without the pearl. When he finds the pearl he changes, Kino goes from being very happy to very suspicious and very greedy. We know this because without the pearl Kino was very happy in his home on a usual morning. When Kino finds the pearl he becomes very angry and very timid. We know this because Juana goes to throw the pearl back into the ocean and Kino catches her and hits her in the face and kicks her.
