I disagree with the his statement because a boat can be broken, but can always be fixed. Even though the boat might have a special meaning, someone being killed, (in my opinion) will always be more painful.

I disagree with this statement because when a boat is “killed” it can alway be repaired after some time but when person is killed, their body can’t be repaired into back to the living state it was originally in.

I personally disagree with this statement because Steinbeck is stating that a killing of a man is not as important as the killing of a boat. Personally killing of a Mayan is much more

I disagree with this quote because humans have a shorter life then a boat could and if you kill a person there would be a lot more consequences then there would be for killing a boat, but I get why kino is saying this because kino has become very greedy. I think he is only thinking about which one is more valuable money wise. I think Steinbeck is trying to say that kino thinks that money is more valuable then a persons life.

I disagree with this statement because a person can not be replaced but a boat can be remade, even though the boat was from his grandfather I think it is way worse to kill a human than to destroy a boat.

I disagree with this statement because Steinbeck is saying that a killing of a man does matter, but killing a man matters a lot because you would get killed forkilling  a man, and that’s bad. When they say the murder of a boat is not more important then a killing of man, that doesn’t make sense because you can just get a new boat, but when you kill a man you don’t get a new life

I think Steinbeck is trying to say that people can protect themselves and have the ability to avoid harm. A boat isn’t capable of protecting itself or healing itself when injured. Also a boat can live for hundreds of years people can’t.

The “killing” of a boat is not as bad of the killing of human, although the killing of a human was justified by being attacked, kino brought up the point that it isn’t as bad as killing a boat because “a boat can’t defend itself” even though Kinos boat has been passed through generations, it can be repaired. But a human cannot be. A human has feelings and thoughts but a boat just simply doesn’t feel. Even if you’re emotionally attached to the boat and it’s destroyed, the boat is an inanimate object.

Sometimes, it could be just as evil though, if kino was trying to save someone from death, and another person punchered the boat it could be just as evil. But in this instance, it is more evil to kill a human than a boat.

I do not agree with the quote

# data[].attributes.body
I do not agree with what Steinbeck is stapling with this quote. He writes “the killing of a man is not as evil as the killing of a boat.” This boat has been passed down through generations in Kino’s family and it obviously means a lot to him. We saw him show barely any emotions when he killed the dark figure but when he saw the broken boat he went completely insane. Though if Kino was the same person here as he was at the beginning I think this would be a very different story. It’s seems that this pearl has completely changed him and he can’t really do much about it.

I think what Steinbeck means is that the boat (especially Kinos boat) has been passed down generations and Kino intends to do that. As it was mentioned at the beginning of the book “ It was a property and source of food, for a man with a boat can guarentee a women that she will eat something”. I think I disagree because though the phrasing Steinbeck used was implying that the boat didnt “die”” but more it could not be used anymore however the boat only meant a means of transport and food.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Steinbeck means that something as small as a boat in Kino’s situation is so important because this boat was given to Kino from his family and has been carried down for generations. I disagree with this because I don’t think this is a way to “kill” a boat, but there is a way to destroy a boat.

I don’t agree with the quote a killing of a Human is not as evil as the killing of a boat. The reason i disagree is that you can’t kill an inanimate object and that humans are only a one time thing while you can always make another boat you can make the boat the exact same meanwhile you can’t make a human the exact same.

# data[].attributes.body
I think what Steinbeck is trying to say that people come and go but an object such as a boat can stay in your possession for as long as you’d like. I don’t agree because people have emotions and an identity but an inanimate object can't truly make you feel better.

# data[].attributes.body
I do not agree with Steinbeck on this statement because you could replace a boat but not a human. However, I think that Steinbeck means that this hurts to Kino a lot more than a killing of a man. This makes sense because this boat was very speicial to Kino and was passed down from his grandfather. Also this means a lot to Kino because it was the only thing he had of value and could not be replaced because it was hand crafted.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that it said this in the book because the boat was kind of an heirloom given to Kino from his grandfather I think it was. I disagree with the quote because sure, the boat was important, but I think killing a human is objectively worse then “killing” a boat because a boat doesn’t feel pain, it’s not alive unlike humans, which are living can can feel pain. Also, we have laws against killing humans. It’s quite simple in my opinion because you can buy a new boat and we have RULES against killing humans and boats. But why do you think there is a death penalty for killing humans and not boats? Killing a human is just flat out worse than killing a boats I have no idea on what the heck Steinbeck is trying to say here. It is a bad mindset to have the idea that killing a boat is worse than killing a person.
