Kino is greedy for trying to pursue the dream of the pearl and what it might bring so he doesn't give up the pearl and as a result his son, Coyotito dies

# data[].attributes.body
If the doctor would have helped them out of the kindness of his heart, the coyotito would still be alive. But because he thinks of them as lower class people, he does not offer them his help

# data[].attributes.body
Kino is letting his pride get in the way of his thinking. He wouldn't sell the pearl to the pearl buyers without making sure if it was the best price. He wanted to travel to the capital with Juana and Coyotito instead to get a higher price. This idea, itself, shows how Kino isn't thinking straight. Coyotito is suffering from a severe scorpion sting, and Kino wants him to travel a long journey without getting him a treatment. Kino would be willing to risk the life of his son, to get more money selling the pearl.

# data[].attributes.body
If Juana had been Kino's equal at least, he would have listened to her and gotten rid of the pearl, therefore Coyotito might not have perished.

# data[].attributes.body
If Kino was not in such as low class, he may have not become so determined for so many goals such as sending Coyotito to school. He may have thought that pearls were ordinary objects if he was in a higher social class and may not have decided to sell his pearl at the capital, starting a dagerous journey.

# data[].attributes.body
Kino is not thinking logically about the pearl. He won't give it up, even though it had been no good for him and his family

# data[].attributes.body
Since Kino is in a very low class, he does not have the money to buy a treatment for Coyotito. One example of this is when the doctor's servant says, "'The doctor has gone out'"(Steinbeck 12). This quote implies that the doctor pretended that he had something else to do because Kino had money that was worthless. but also because Kino was in a low class. If the doctor had been kind enough to treat Coyotito, then Coyotito would have a better chance of surviving.

# data[].attributes.body
Kino was selfish and greedy so he didn't sell the pearl very fast so there was more time for the poison to reach Coyotito's vitals. He also wanted to be rich and marry Juana.

# data[].attributes.body
The doctor had so much greed in him that he wouldn't help a sick baby. If the doctor wasn't greedy, Coyotito might still be alive

# data[].attributes.body
For the reason of Kino not having much money to afford the nursing that Coyotito needs. And for Kino being in the low class the doctor doesn't want to give any treatments. Coyotito would've still have been alive if the doctor could've been nice enough to give the treatment.

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion, the person most responsible for Coyotito's death is Kino because first of all, as a father he let the scorpion sting him and wasn't a protective enough father. Next, he tries to help which is good but he should've listened to Juana and thrown it away or sold the pearl for 1,500 pesos and let it be, not care how much money he was getting. Lastly, after he kills the man, he decides to run away instead of turning himself in which would have been best for Coyotito. By making the selfish decision to run away, he condemns Coyotito to either a life on the run or death while on the run. The latter happens and therefore Kino is most responsible for Coyotito's death

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Kino himself is contributing to Coyotito's death because he is not thinking everything through. He traveled all the way to the capital just to sell that pearl, not realizing that it isn't helping his baby, but making him worse. When he visits the pearl buyers, he isn't even willing to negotiate with their prices, even though it is a lot of money. He could easily take 1,500 pesos and walk back to help cure his baby. Instead, he is so blinded by the fact that he could be rich and have a lot of wealth, that he lets his main focus be the Pearl instead of Coyotito. Juana, his wife, even tries to warn him that the Pearl is evil, but he still doesn't listen and continues to pursue his dream of the pearl.

# data[].attributes.body
If the pearl buyers would have given Kino a good deal for the pearl, Kino would already have the money needed for saving Coyotito. But because they try and get the better end of the deal for themselves, that chance is lost.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Kino is responsible because he would rather get more money from the pearl, instead of trying to help his son liv

# data[].attributes.body
If Kino was offered a reasonable price by the pearl buyers, he may not have considered going to the capital to sell his pearl by himself. The journey to the capital may be very dangerous, such as the mountains in between La Paz and the capital.

# data[].attributes.body
Kino's low social status stops him from doing a lot of things. He isn't able to buy the things he wants. Kino barely has enough money to provide for his family. However, when he finds the pearl, he feels hopeful for his future. His hope almost blinds him to the reality of the world. Kino thinks that he has to make an incredible amount of money off the pearl, therefore making him do foolish things, like turning down the offer from the pearl buyers, which might cost him Coyotito's life.
If Kino had been in a higher social status, then the doctor would have probably treated Coyotito earlier, and Coyotito would have survived.

# data[].attributes.body
Although there is a very slim chance of this happening, there is a possibility that if Kino and Juana switched roles, with Juana being the pearl diver, she may not have found the pearl that suddenly opened up a path for greed, with the ultimate result being Coyotito's death.

# data[].attributes.body
Since Kino and his family is of lower status, the doctor refuses to give any kind of medical attention to the baby Coyotito. Because of his status, Kino is limited greatly. This has affected their family because if Coyotito does not get the medical help he needs, he may not survive.

# data[].attributes.body
The doctor plays a big role in Coyotito's death. If the doctor would have just helped the family instead of trying to get more money out of visits, they baby might have lived. Without the doctor chances of survival might be higher.

# data[].attributes.body
Kino has a lower social class and nobody takes him seriously. This also comes up when the doctor refused to see Coyotito and treat his wound.

# data[].attributes.body
When Kino goes to the doctor to see if the doctor will treat Coyotito, the doctor refuses, because Kino has worthless money and because Kino is in a lower class. If the doctor had been kind, then Coyotito would have most likely survived.

# data[].attributes.body
The pearl buyers while they were not totally responsible they played a major part in Coyotito's death because if they gave Kino a low price but a price they knew he would accept everyone would be happy and Coyotito would not have been endangered by Kino trying to go to the capital.

# data[].attributes.body
If the pearl buyers hadn't been so selfish and greedy, then they might have given Kino a better, fair price for the pearl. If they were to do so, then Kino probably would have accepted the offer. With money, Kino could now pay for Coyotito's medical fee, and Coyotito would have survived.

# data[].attributes.body
If the pearl buyers were not so unfair about the price that they were willing to pay for Kino's pearl, he might not have gotten angry and declared that he was going to the Capital. This would have changed the story instantly, and there most likely would have been a better outcome. Kino was rash to think that he would go to the Capital and sell the pearl himself, even though the prices offered to him were unfair.

# data[].attributes.body
In the very beginning of the book, Kino goes to the doctor and asks him if he could help Coyotito. He refused, just because he was in a lower class than him and thought that money was more important than Kino's baby. If he were to cure him right then, he may have actually lived. If he were to be cured right then and there, he wouldn't keep getting worse and worse, but instead better and better.

# data[].attributes.body
If the pearl buyers had offered a reasonable price to Kino, then Kino would have sold it to them, and used the money to cure Coyotito.

# data[].attributes.body
Kino is the main cause of Coyotito no matter what other factors affected Coyotito.
CASE 1: If Kino had not found the pearl, the doctor may never have come to help Coyotito, ultimately leading to Coyotito's death.
CASE 2: Since Kino finds the pearl in the book, there are a series of events in which Kino departs for the capital, and Coyotito ultimately dies on the journey to the capital.

# data[].attributes.body
Kino saw Juana as a woman and where he comes from(

# data[].attributes.body
Had the doctor helped Coyotito,  Kino would not have had to go dive for pearls. If Kino never found the pearl, no one would care enough about him to bother him.

# data[].attributes.body
The doctor showed lots of greed when Kino came with worthless money to treat Coyotito. This shows that the doctor only cared about money, and put kindness aside.

# data[].attributes.body
If the doctor had done his job from the very beginning, then there would be a big chance that Coyotito would have survived. However, since the doctor worried more about the money he made than the lives he saved, the doctor refused to attend to Coyotito. It was only when he heard that Kino was the one that found the pearl, that he showed interest in Kino and his family.

# data[].attributes.body
If the doctor had said yes to Kino's plea to help Coyotito, the outcome could've been more positive. Coyotito would've had a better chance of surviving. But the doctor turned him down immediately because of his social class, which may have been a part of Coyotito's death.

# data[].attributes.body
If Kino had been in a higher social status with more wealth, he wouldn't have to go risk his child's life walking to the capital trying to sell the pearl. Plus, the doctor would've treated Coyotito right away and Kino would be able to pay him.

# data[].attributes.body
The greed of Kino has affected him, and his personality. After he found the pearl, he was happy for sometime. Afterwards, however, he just wanted more and more. Kino wouldn't settle for an average price for the pearl. He wanted to go all the way to the capital to get a good price for it. This would cost him Coyotito's life.

# data[].attributes.body
If Kino was not so greedy for money, he would've put Coyotito as his first priority instead of the pearl. Another greedy character is the doctor. If the doctor hadn't been greedy and treated the baby, he may have actually lived and get cured right away.

# data[].attributes.body
Had the Pearl Buyers given Kino a fair price for the great pearl, they never would have to make the fatal journey to the Capital and instead Kino, Juana, and Coyotito would have survived because they would buy the cure for Coyotito.

# data[].attributes.body
It was the doctor because he refused to try to heal the baby at first and maybe the baby could have been saved if the doctor had healed him.

# data[].attributes.body
If Kino did not want even more money for the pearl than he got offered, he could have payed the doctor to save Coyotito. The Doctor also is greedy because if he would try saving the baby and not waiting for a reward, Coyotito could of been saved by now.

# data[].attributes.body
If Juana and Kino were equal, Kino may have actually listened to her when she said that the pearl was evil.

# data[].attributes.body
Since Kino is the "man" of the family, he thinks that his word is final. Kino thinks that the opinion of Juana doesn't matter. Kino gets prideful, and doesn't want to listen to Juana, and consider her as an equal partner.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the doctor could have contributed to the situation of Kino's death because he refused to help Coyotito. It wasn't until after he heard that Kino had a pearl that he offered to help. in that time, the poison could have spread more around his body, making it more likley for the poison to kill the baby.

# data[].attributes.body
If the pearl buyers gave Kino a fair price for the pearl, Kino wouldn't have to travel to the Capital to try to earn more money.

# data[].attributes.body
kino could have killed the scorpion before the baby died.

# data[].attributes.body
If Kino and his family had been of a higher social class, the pearl buyers may have given Kino a fairer price, and Kino could use that money to cure Coyotito.

# data[].attributes.body
Kino could have killed the scorpion so the baby didn't get stung.

# data[].attributes.body
I think it's the doctor's fault because he gave poison to Coyotito, even tough the doctor healed coyotito he still poisond him and made him worse.

# data[].attributes.body
Greed, I think, is the main cause of Coyotito dying, because if Kino had settled with 1,500, he would have surely been able to get the cure for Coyotito.

And, had the pearl buyers not been so greedy and given Kino a fair price, Kino would have been able to save Coyotito

# data[].attributes.body
If the pearl buyers were more fair and gave Kino a better price, Kino would not have tried to go and sell the pearl at the Capital.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Kino contributed to the situation of Coyotito's death because he could have killed the scorpion before it stung Coyotito.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that social status plays a big role in the book. People don't take Kino as serious because of his money. They think they can trick him.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the doctor was responsible for Coyotito's death because if the doctor would've been nice and helped the family, Coyotito would have had a higher chance to survive but the doctor was too late because when Kino found the pearl the doctor was interested to help them because the doctor was greedy.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that it is kino's fault for Coyotito's death because He didn't settle for the 1500 pesos he decided to just go on to get a lot more than that to go the "Extra Mile" Because of this he is going to disobey the laws of his father/Priest and post pone Coyotito for More money with a trip that would most likely kill all of them.
