This was a great idea to start with as it brought a strong idea and people added an idea that was similar to his.

# data[].attributes.body
I liked the use of the word 'powerless' and how Shrey added that Kino was up against a world that was already against him.

# data[].attributes.body
I thought that this comment was thoughtful because he connected back to Harshit's idea with another point that continued the discussion.

# data[].attributes.body
Shrey spoke very clearly and gave a great point to the conversation about people going against keno.

# data[].attributes.body
She does a great way to use symbolism to express her ideas and she explained her answer very clearly.

# data[].attributes.body
Started the seminar with a great question. Clearly explained his thoughts regarding the question, and used evidence effectively to explain his point.

# data[].attributes.body
Her explanation was very well thought out and well explained

# data[].attributes.body
Bhavinis question about how the author uses nature to represent things. I liked this idea because it brought a different idea that makes you really think about it.

# data[].attributes.body
She added on to Shrey's on idea of Kino's Greed of the Pearl supporting Shrey's arguement more

# data[].attributes.body
Built on Shrey's speech about how everyone was against Kino. Provided additional information from the book. She explained evidence clearly.

# data[].attributes.body
I appreciate how Bhavini included details about symbolism from the book. She talked about how the book symbolized the book characters' fates and it led to a larger interest for the book.

# data[].attributes.body
I thought going back to the idea that was said and adding on to it was a great way to add on to the conversation of the seminar.

# data[].attributes.body
I found Hannah's response very well-explained. It was spoken very clearly, and although I didn't read the pearl, I found her explanation clear in the fact that even Kino's wife was against him.

# data[].attributes.body
Alex made a great add on to the conversation saying he would do anything including hitting his wife just to keep the pearl.

# data[].attributes.body
Introduced a new question with a good answer and effective evidence, continuing the seminar with a new topic to speak about.

# data[].attributes.body
Great Open-Ended question to get the mind going and he had very good thoughts on how The Pearl changed throughout the book.

# data[].attributes.body
Spoke about how the Pearl creates greed and how it isn't wise to keep it around. Spoke with a nice explanation.

# data[].attributes.body
Sri thinks that the Pearl was not beneficial and greed and the Pearls destructive nature which seems interesting.

# data[].attributes.body
I thought this comment was well-explained cause he used a direct quote and built off of that to explain his point of how Kino valued the pearl over his wife.

# data[].attributes.body
Harshit introduces a detailed idea about an example of people connecting and for the wrong purpose of deception.

# data[].attributes.body
The question he showed was very thought out and added to the discussion. I also like how he showed the problems with the pearl and how greed caused people to be hurt.

# data[].attributes.body
I appreciate how Rishi articulated his question well. Rishi spoke loud and clear and he used many good evidences and his explanations were thorough.

# data[].attributes.body
Spoke about how hannah knew about the danger of the Pearl and advised Kino not to have the Pearl.

# data[].attributes.body
His explanation about Hina and the fact that he used a quote from the book shows that he was very thoughtful about this

# data[].attributes.body
He does a great job of using evidence from the text to express how the songs mentioned in the book acted as symbolism.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Sri was very prepared because he not only used textual evidence, but also seemed like he knew what he was talking about, because he did not just read out of his notes, but looked around when he was talking.

# data[].attributes.body
Used evidence in order to build on to a point respectfully and effectively. He also explained his point thoughtfully.

# data[].attributes.body
Love how he's giving importance to smaller characters and building of on previous conversations by listening to others. He also describes the actions of Hona and that she is important because she keeps the family safe.

# data[].attributes.body
Sri addresses how valuable objects and the prospect of wealth can change someone and make them greedier, slowly warping them and changing who they are at their core which I thought was an interesting topic.

# data[].attributes.body
Related back to Sri's comment about his family and I thought that it was a good way to branch onto a previous idea instead of creating a new one.

# data[].attributes.body
I like the connection Dilip made about Kino's greed for the pearl had to do with his pride and simply just his selfishness

# data[].attributes.body
He does a good job to explain how a character is vital to the story and brought an idea earlier in the discussion which people added on.

# data[].attributes.body
A great way of adding on to the point made earlier and bringing effective evidence to support ideas made previously.

# data[].attributes.body
I like how he used connections to the story to support his answer to a question. I thought that it was a good way to go back to a past idea.

# data[].attributes.body
Used a quote to explain about how the Pearl only brings destruction. Spoke about how Kino's child's death shows the destruction of the Pearl.

# data[].attributes.body
She explained how the music was a relevant part of the story and symbolized the changes in Kino's character

# data[].attributes.body
The statement about the music and how it changed threw out the book. I thought her comment about the symbolism was great.

# data[].attributes.body
He adds more evidence and quotes to explain the idea that the Pearl only brought destruction rather than being beneficial which strengthens the argument.

# data[].attributes.body
I like how Tanvi added in a new idea while also connecting it back into other ideas that were mentioned during the seminar. Overall I thought it was well-explained and thoughtful.

# data[].attributes.body
I love how Tanvi agreed to two other people and smoothly added her point of view with no problems. She talked about peaceful topics such a nobility and it was really pleasing to the ear to listen to how clear and articulate her explanation was.

# data[].attributes.body
Spoke about how Juana had a good moral compass and wanted to protect her family.

# data[].attributes.body
He contrasts Juana and Kino which is unique and builds of a previous idea.

# data[].attributes.body
Explained her point by relating it to a "moral compass", effectively adding her perspective to the conversation.

# data[].attributes.body
Sri effectively contrasted the difference between Kino and Juana and they're separate opinions over the pearl.

# data[].attributes.body
Sri asks a meaningful question about if wealth, represented by the pearl, brings success or negativity, and provides a well worded answer explaining how there are more pieces of evidence that it brings negativity and greed.

# data[].attributes.body
I liked how he talked about more than one perspective to prove his point. It was well explained and descriptive.

# data[].attributes.body
I liked Aadhya choice of words such as "moral compass" I think it really added meaning to her response. Which proved the fact that Aadhya was well-prepared for the seminar.

# data[].attributes.body
When he agrees with Sri's statement he uses a before v.s. after comparison about him getting the pearl.

# data[].attributes.body
Sri addresses the contrast between Juana and keano and how while keano becomes more aggressive when acquires the pearl while Juana wanted to get rid of the pearl and protect their family showing how different people can react differently to the same situation which I believe is an interesting topic.

# data[].attributes.body
I like how he talked about how people change when they believe someone has money. It shows how greed is very destructive.

# data[].attributes.body
Harshits new ideas threw out the whole seminar have been great. Bringing different things to talk about and making sure people don't repeat the same things.

# data[].attributes.body
Spoke about how Kino was consumed from greed from the Pearl. Spoke an nice explanation to prove Kino's greed created from the Pearl.

# data[].attributes.body
I thought that his comment was well-explained with a central idea of how Kino was greedy and abusive because of the pearl.

# data[].attributes.body
I like Hannah's question wondering how the story would have a different ending if something changed. Her answer explains how there could be positive and negative consequences from it

# data[].attributes.body
I love the fact that she used a What-If question to build of on shreys idea and shes providing even more evidence to support her answer for her thoughts and shes citing quotes from the book as well.

# data[].attributes.body
He introduces an interesting idea of how the doctor at the start refuses Kino,but after the Pearl the doctor welcomes him gladly which is shows that people are getting close to Kino just for the Pearl

# data[].attributes.body
She contributes a meaningful explanation about an alternate timeline of events to demonstrate the possible repercussions of keeping the pearl.

# data[].attributes.body
I like how she brought in a new question and her answer was well-thought out.

# data[].attributes.body
Aadhya made a good point about that once you give someone something they just want more and people are naturally greedy.

# data[].attributes.body
Built on kenley's statement. Added new information to further prove and understand the statement.

# data[].attributes.body
She contributed a meaningful thought to explain an event in the book through the use of a real-world analogy about winning a lottery.

# data[].attributes.body
Sai uses the example of Coyotito's death as a symbol of the true price of greed, which was a helpful and deep connection.

# data[].attributes.body
Throughout the seminar, Sri continues to add to different topics which helps him and people who provided the idea.

# data[].attributes.body
Used a quote from the book to show how fear can influence their actions or decisions. Explained how the quote supported the statement.

# data[].attributes.body
I like how Bhavini addresses how fear heavily influences the nature of humans by showing how Keano's fear of losing the pearl leads him to acting the way he does and how juana's fear of how the pearl might destroy their family influences her actions.

# data[].attributes.body
Well thought out explanation. Nicely connected the ideas.

# data[].attributes.body
Used information to explain his topic. Nicely explained.

# data[].attributes.body
His question elaborates the topic by bringing a whole new perspective which lets other people elaborate on top of his question.

# data[].attributes.body
Built on Rishi's explanation. Added more information to further prove his point.

# data[].attributes.body
I liked how Tanvi noticed that it has been a while since the last new idea and how the discussion was slowing down, and decided to move the discussion moving. Which shows how prepared she is, because it is showing she is ready to jump in, when the group needs a push to move along in the discussion.

# data[].attributes.body
She used symbolism to see a simple thing as a scorpion could represent "foreshadowing of future consequences"

# data[].attributes.body
I like how Aadhya addresses how Keano believes that the pearl is his destiny but it is due to his actions that everything happens the way it does.

# data[].attributes.body
Spoke about a Question that would have changed the evidence in the book.

# data[].attributes.body
Spoke about something in the book and asked a question about it and how it would have changed some evidence. Explained her information very nicely, answering the question.

# data[].attributes.body
Sai considered that instead of greed it was hopefulness. However during the book the hopefulness turned into greed which led to negative consequences.

# data[].attributes.body
Added on to Shri's statement. Provided a quote to explain her point. Nicely explained how the quote connects toward her argument.

# data[].attributes.body
Her building on the scorpion shows that she has thought about what each character represents. It also is a great way to end the seminar.
