Once Kino finds a great pearl, he becomes greedy for riches. His neighbor gets jealous of his riches so he try’s to steal it from him.]]> 2023-04-20 14:30:29 UTC https://padlet.com/tsalon1/e7mmv8enjh0e2a9l/wish/2561944481 https://padlet.com/tsalon1/e7mmv8enjh0e2a9l/wish/2561977848 Race is a theme that was presented on page 5. The doctor is the race that has harm, starved, robbed, and beaten Kino’s race for nearly four hundred years. This made Kino feel frightened, weak, and angry. It made him feel this way because his rave was treated as they were animals. ]]> 2023-04-20 14:38:57 UTC https://padlet.com/tsalon1/e7mmv8enjh0e2a9l/wish/2561977848 26kmoua https://padlet.com/tsalon1/e7mmv8enjh0e2a9l/wish/2561980715 When there are more than one race together, sometimes they tend to not connect. Racism happens because of peoples mindset. Sometimes people are affected by their beliefs, cultures, or experiences. In the story, The Pearl, it states, “This doctor was not of his people. This doctor was of a race which for nearly four hundred years had beaten and starved and robbed and despised Kino's race, and frightened it too.” It hints that the doctor and Kino’s races may not be able to get along because of their races.]]> 2023-04-20 14:39:24 UTC https://padlet.com/tsalon1/e7mmv8enjh0e2a9l/wish/2561980715 https://padlet.com/tsalon1/e7mmv8enjh0e2a9l/wish/2561990156 Greed is shown in The Pearl from the doctor. The doctor refused to help Kino and his family because they didn’t have enough money for treatment. Kino offered the doctor everything he had, but the doctor still refused to help since he wouldn’t get any money out of it. The doctor would rather have money than help Kino and his family.  ]]> 2023-04-20 14:45:49 UTC https://padlet.com/tsalon1/e7mmv8enjh0e2a9l/wish/2561990156 https://padlet.com/tsalon1/e7mmv8enjh0e2a9l/wish/2562001301 I feel like gender is most common by Juana because she always protects the baby and because she lets kino do the harder work like going in the water to get the Pearl and help her learn more stuff. Two she is also represents this by protecting the baby. Three it is expressed because she moans a lot.]]> 2023-04-20 14:53:33 UTC https://padlet.com/tsalon1/e7mmv8enjh0e2a9l/wish/2562001301 26lkraus https://padlet.com/tsalon1/e7mmv8enjh0e2a9l/wish/2562207720 When Kino son got sick they went to the doctors but when Kino gave the doctor everything he had, but the doctor still said no because he said he would only do it if they gave him the money that they owed. ]]> 2023-04-20 17:32:59 UTC https://padlet.com/tsalon1/e7mmv8enjh0e2a9l/wish/2562207720 https://padlet.com/tsalon1/e7mmv8enjh0e2a9l/wish/2562212983 The doctor in chapter 2 showed greed when he refused to treat Kino’s child. He was greedy in showing that he didn’t care to treat the child he solely wanted money. Someone who wasn’t greedy would’ve helped out the child and waited to ask about money till the end or not ask about it at all. ]]> 2023-04-20 17:37:06 UTC https://padlet.com/tsalon1/e7mmv8enjh0e2a9l/wish/2562212983 https://padlet.com/tsalon1/e7mmv8enjh0e2a9l/wish/2562214207 As Kino becomes increasingly obsessed with the pearl's value and the potential riches it could bring, he begins to lose sight of what is truly important in life. His obsession with the pearl leads to violence, destruction, and the loss of everything he holds dear.

Kino had hesitated when he realized that the doctor wasn’t of their race. The doctor was apart of a race that had “beaten and starved and robbed and despised Kino’s race for nearly 400 years.” Kino felt frightened, angry, and even weak just because he saw the man. The story discusses it as Kino’s race is afraid of the doctors race due to the past, and what has happened between them.]]> 2023-04-20 17:39:15 UTC https://padlet.com/tsalon1/e7mmv8enjh0e2a9l/wish/2562216017 26lwenne https://padlet.com/tsalon1/e7mmv8enjh0e2a9l/wish/2562216878 When Kino is opening up the oyster and he finds out that there is a very variable pearl in it. He now knows how valuable the pearl is and feels like he has a higher power now. He suddenly felt he had so much money in his hands and now is higher then others. This is showing greed in many ways now Kino feels like he has power and now he is greedy.]]> 2023-04-20 17:39:59 UTC https://padlet.com/tsalon1/e7mmv8enjh0e2a9l/wish/2562216878 https://padlet.com/tsalon1/e7mmv8enjh0e2a9l/wish/2562230049 Greed is shown in The Pearl in a couple ways. One way is the doctor refusing to treat the baby unless he got payed. This shows us that he is only a doctor for the money. So he won’t help unless he gets payed and not just to be nice and helpful.]]> 2023-04-20 17:50:21 UTC https://padlet.com/tsalon1/e7mmv8enjh0e2a9l/wish/2562230049 https://padlet.com/tsalon1/e7mmv8enjh0e2a9l/wish/2562346053 The Theme of Class Struggle in The Pearl In The Pearl by John Steinbeck, there are two exceedingly distinct classes.

The doctor is some one wealthy and has some influence were he live just because he is a doctor, but he is greedy.

The doctor come from spanish descent and that is why he is a doctor, but his worker is the same race as kino, making him have a less desirable job like being the worker for the doctor. The book is trying to tell you how peoples life play out because of their social class.  ]]> 2023-04-21 01:14:55 UTC https://padlet.com/tsalon1/e7mmv8enjh0e2a9l/wish/2562583995 26aherna3 https://padlet.com/tsalon1/e7mmv8enjh0e2a9l/wish/2562585396 Greed is one of the main ideas in the pearl and it is shown with the doctor. Because he would rather let a poor little baby die because he is not getting payed. Second he is fat, and for years we have depicted greedy people as fat. The book is tryiNing to show you how greed corropts someone and what they become.
