The theme John Steinbeck is trying to cover in his book, The Pearl, is that when you have something that means a lot of value you shouldn´t treat others as the less valued, but you should treat them as if you never had the object you own now. People are more valuable than objects.

The theme that Steinbeck seems to convey in The Pearl is that something good can either go a good way or a bad was. It may start off as something good but then have a turn which leads to something bad. Like when Kino gets the pearl that's something good but then after he has it things get harder and people have gotten hurt because of it.

# data[].attributes.body
One of the themes in the Pearl is. Even though suddenly getting rich is a good thing. Sometimes it can get bad, and it can change a person. For example Kino is very poor,. Once he finds the pearl he's super happy, but people are trying to steal it from him. These people will do anything to try to steal it from Kino. People have broken into his house, and they have attacked him because of this pearl. I believe Kino changed once he found this pearl. He suddenly became very paranoid. Also when Juana tried getting rid of the pearl Kino punched and kicked her because she wanted to get rid of this pearl.

The theme that John Steinbeck is say that money dose not bring happens it bring hate and sad and mad at the world money is evil to everyone. it cant buy you what you want it  you will just get mad at the world even more

# data[].attributes.body
One of the themes for The Pearl is Money is the root of all evil. One reason I think the theme is money is the root of all evil is because Kino used to be this caring guy and would make sure that nothing would happen to his family but since riches is on his mind and what he can do with his wealth has drove him crazy. I feel as though hes lost sight of what he was supposed to be doing. Even though hes doing it for a good cause hes doing it the wrong way to help his family out of poverty.

# data[].attributes.body

# data[].attributes.body
one of the themes are people with money can go mad with power like how kino is willing to kill someone to keep the pearl then throw the pearl away

# data[].attributes.body
I would have to say not to get lost in your own wealth ,or like to much of something is bad for you.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the theme of this story is sometimes when you get large amount's of money don't take that money for granted and don't change and try to be anyone else but yourself and don't just trust anyone trust people that you know you can trust and that will not just try to be your friend for your money.

The theme of being rich is not always the best. Before when kino didn't have the pearl no one bothered him and his life never was in danger. But when Kino got the pearl everything changed for him.

# data[].attributes.body
A theme John Steinbeck is trying to convey in this novella is not to let your dreams take over your life. The reason i would say this is a theme is because when Kino found the pearl his life started changing and he started to think of stuff he never would have thought of before, but know that he thinks he is going to be rich he is letting that take over his life.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the theme of the story is to not let an object ,especially when it's worth a lot of money, take over you to where you are at the point to when you are doing things you'd regret doing if you didn't have the object. The author is trying to say be yourself and who you are no matter what sittuation you're in or what happens don't lose who you are to an object because in the end you'd regret evrything you've done.

# data[].attributes.body

# data[].attributes.body
A theme that John Steinbeck is trying to explore in the Pearl is the idea that you should'nt let things get to your head. When Kino got the pearl, it definitley changed the way he looked at things and delt with situations, or problems he was facing. For example he hit his wife, which I don,t think he would have done if he didnt have the pearl.

# data[].attributes.body
The theme Steinbeck is trying to convey is don't let money go to your head as it is not always a good thing. Especially for Kino and his family. Money is power, but power can be overwhelming.

# data[].attributes.body
A theme that I believe John Steinbeck is trying convey is to not be overcome with avarice. In The Pearl Kino is overcome with greed and longing for things he and his family have never had the money for before. This corrupts him with greed, and turns him against almost everyone around him including at some points his family. He does things he would never have dreamed of before. This theme is supported by other people in the story. People go crazy over Kino's pearl. They even go as far as to attack him and try to forcefully take it or steal it from him.

# data[].attributes.body
The theme is that kino is really poor and then finds a very rare pearl and gets attacked for it.

a theme in the story is how money can bring good and bad things to you and the people you care about.

# data[].attributes.body
The theme Steinbeck is trying to convey having money could be a good thing or a bad thing it could consume you. Money can make you happy but it will change you and the people around you. You don't need money to make you happy.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that a common theme shown in the pearl is that money makes the world go 'round. I mean, there are plenty of examples, and it's definitely proved beyond a shadow of a doubt. You see how Kino's life is flipped upside down, having been a poor man and suddenly holding something in his hands that could make him rich. It's crazy what people are willing to do to take that away from him. He's already been attacked, people have tried to coerce him into giving him money, even the people he's tried to sell it to have tried to cheat him out of his money. Then you have the doctor, who refused to help him and then suddenly was willing to poison his baby just to get some pesos out of him. Sickening, right?

# data[].attributes.body
Being selfish never works out for anyone in the long-run and being selfish just makes people dislike you, so there is no benefit to it.

# data[].attributes.body
A theme that is presented within The Pearl is that you shouldn't change because of something new within your life. Kino changes by becoming more aggressive and starts worrying more about his pearl than his family.

# data[].attributes.body
The theme is to much can hurt you and maybe can even tear you apart from your family. on´t let money corrupt you.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the theme of the story is, you shouldn't let wealth take over who you are. Kino changed ever since he got the pearl and it wasn't a good change. Bad events started happening in his life that have never happened before and wouldn't have ever happened if he didn't get the pearl. He also started to become much more aggressive towards all of the people he cares about. He put money before his family which in not a good thing to do.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the the theme of the story is that money brings a lot of good but there are still so parts of it that are bad. It brings the possibility to help those around you but it all so brings people that lie and sneak around to get your money into your life.

# data[].attributes.body
The theme of this story is alot of money dosent mean good or bad , and being rich dosent always get you what u want .

# data[].attributes.body
I think the theme of this story is live life to the fullest because one minute things could be all fine then with a blink of an eye your whole life could change. For example, when Kino's baby got stung by the scorpion, a lot was at risk but no one ever saw it coming.

# data[].attributes.body
I would say the theme is to not let your riches empower because before he had the pearl he was a poor man but a happy man with a loving wife and kid, but now that he has the pearl he has injured someone, killed someone, and his own wife tried to throw back into the water.

# data[].attributes.body
The theme of the story is to not let fortune ruin your life because it could make your life worse as a rich person then as a poor person.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the theme of the story is being rich isn't always the best because a lot of thing could go wrong easily. I say this because before Kino found the pearl of the world no one bothered him and then after he found the pearl everyone is doing anything and everything to try to get the pearl from kino. Kino is also taking challenges by having the pearl because the pearl is causing then a lot of stress and danger.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the theme of this story is that sometimes dreams come true but they don't always go the way you plain them to go. I say this because Kino just wanted to have money so he could support his family but after he found the pearl he got kinda crazy. After Kino got the pearl and all he was rich he had the money he wanted to support his family. he thought it would have been all great they could get married and the baby could get an education. but everyone wanted the pearl so he tired hard to keep it safe

# data[].attributes.body
The theme of The Pearl is don't treat others differently because of their wealth. In The Pearl the towns people, the beggars,  even King's friends treat his as if he's superior because he has the pearl. They start being nicer to him, the doctor offered to cure the baby now. There is another theme, don't let wealth run your life. Kino lets this pearl make him paranoid, puts his family in danger. It runs his life because he no longer wants to be poor.

# data[].attributes.body
The theme is that you shouldn't let having a lot of money ruin who you are and change you as a person. I think this is the theme because Kino and his family's life was good before this pearl came along. When Kino found the pearl his personality and his life got worse

# data[].attributes.body
I believe the theme that Steinbeck is trying to get across is that money isn't everything. Kino finds this pearl that he thinks will give him a bright future but it really just brings evilness to his family. All of the other people in the village really bad because it is worth a lot but really it just brings hatred and anger to Kino.

# data[].attributes.body
The theme of this book is telling us that just because you have some thing valuable don't let it put you in harms way because if you do it will lead you in the wrong direction.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the theme of the story is that life is like a roller coaster, it has its ups and downs and is unexpected at times. Kino and his family are poor and his baby bitten by a scorpion. He is turned away by the only local doctor. He then finds the pearl of the world and kills a man because of it.

# data[].attributes.body
Steinbeck is trying to say that with good fortune bad fortune usually seems to follow not far behind.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the theme of this story is that you don't have to be rich to be happy. Juana is trying to say that by wanting to throw away the pearl in the ocean because bad things are happening to there family and she just wants to live a happy with out all the stress on maybe getting hurt.

# data[].attributes.body

I think the theme in the pearl is to not be crazy with a ton of money. When people have a lot of wealth they start to become more and more paranoid. Also you might be more cautious about your surroundings.

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinon one theme from the story is "never give up when its most important" i chose this theme because when the doctor turned away Coyotito Jauna and Kino could have stopped there,  but instead they went and looked for a pearl to save the baby and instead found a huge pearl that changed their lives entirely.

# data[].attributes.body
i would say that it is not to get like cocky about getting something that's very valuable to you

# data[].attributes.body

# data[].attributes.body
the theme of the story is to never over wish things. like don't say your going to do something but don't.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the theme is to not take anything for granted and to put family first. Kino put the pearl first instead of his family. He forgot to remember without the luck he had he would still be poor. His family has been through everything with him and he is pushing them away ever since his wealth.

# data[].attributes.body
i think the theme of the story is that you it takes hard work to get what you want in the world of kino.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe the theme of the story is,  don't  let riches turn you into something you aren't, don't let money destroy you.

# data[].attributes.body
The theme of the story is to not get carried away. Kino found a huge pearl that instantly made him wealthy. All of the things that he could buy eventually went to his head and he became a little crazy over it. It got to his head so much that he eventually killed a man.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the theme of the story is don't let greed get to you. Because in the beginning of the book Kino and his family were happy and living a good life then they found the pearl and Kino became overwhelmed with greed.

# data[].attributes.body
The theme of the story I believe is greed exhausts the person in an endless effort to satisfy the need without ever reaching satisfaction. This means that money can get you a house & home, but it can't buy satisfaction or love.

# data[].attributes.body
The theme of the story is even though you get a lot of money in your life, dont change who you are.
