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.]]> 2018-03-09 21:06:18 UTC https://padlet.com/hdupuy/ek7p73v60js2/wish/240370644 https://padlet.com/hdupuy/ek7p73v60js2/wish/240370730 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. ]]> 2018-03-09 21:06:41 UTC https://padlet.com/hdupuy/ek7p73v60js2/wish/240370730 https://padlet.com/hdupuy/ek7p73v60js2/wish/240370777 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.]]> 2018-03-09 21:06:51 UTC https://padlet.com/hdupuy/ek7p73v60js2/wish/240370777 https://padlet.com/hdupuy/ek7p73v60js2/wish/240370818 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]]> 2018-03-09 21:07:02 UTC https://padlet.com/hdupuy/ek7p73v60js2/wish/240370818 jk28093 https://padlet.com/hdupuy/ek7p73v60js2/wish/240370876 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.]]> 2018-03-09 21:07:16 UTC https://padlet.com/hdupuy/ek7p73v60js2/wish/240370876 https://padlet.com/hdupuy/ek7p73v60js2/wish/240370918 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

He also wanted to be rich and marry Juana.]]> 2018-03-09 21:07:53 UTC https://padlet.com/hdupuy/ek7p73v60js2/wish/240371027 https://padlet.com/hdupuy/ek7p73v60js2/wish/240371212 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]]> 2018-03-09 21:08:40 UTC https://padlet.com/hdupuy/ek7p73v60js2/wish/240371212 https://padlet.com/hdupuy/ek7p73v60js2/wish/240371244 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.]]> 2018-03-09 21:08:46 UTC https://padlet.com/hdupuy/ek7p73v60js2/wish/240371244 https://padlet.com/hdupuy/ek7p73v60js2/wish/240371313 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]]> 2018-03-09 21:09:05 UTC https://padlet.com/hdupuy/ek7p73v60js2/wish/240371313 https://padlet.com/hdupuy/ek7p73v60js2/wish/240371641  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.]]> 2018-03-09 21:10:27 UTC https://padlet.com/hdupuy/ek7p73v60js2/wish/240371641 https://padlet.com/hdupuy/ek7p73v60js2/wish/240371868 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.]]> 2018-03-09 21:11:25 UTC https://padlet.com/hdupuy/ek7p73v60js2/wish/240371868 wr28649 https://padlet.com/hdupuy/ek7p73v60js2/wish/240371894 I think Kino is responsible because he would rather get more money from the pearl, instead of trying to help his son liv]]> 2018-03-09 21:11:29 UTC https://padlet.com/hdupuy/ek7p73v60js2/wish/240371894 https://padlet.com/hdupuy/ek7p73v60js2/wish/240371905 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.]]> 2018-03-09 21:11:32 UTC https://padlet.com/hdupuy/ek7p73v60js2/wish/240371905 sp40026 https://padlet.com/hdupuy/ek7p73v60js2/wish/240371966 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.]]> 2018-03-09 21:11:45 UTC https://padlet.com/hdupuy/ek7p73v60js2/wish/240371966 https://padlet.com/hdupuy/ek7p73v60js2/wish/240372112 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.]]> 2018-03-09 21:12:27 UTC https://padlet.com/hdupuy/ek7p73v60js2/wish/240372112 https://padlet.com/hdupuy/ek7p73v60js2/wish/240372144 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.]]> 2018-03-09 21:12:35 UTC https://padlet.com/hdupuy/ek7p73v60js2/wish/240372144 kl26625 https://padlet.com/hdupuy/ek7p73v60js2/wish/240372293 Kino has a lower social class and nobody takes him seriously.

With money, Kino could now pay for Coyotito's medical fee, and Coyotito would have survived.]]> 2018-03-09 21:16:11 UTC https://padlet.com/hdupuy/ek7p73v60js2/wish/240372974 https://padlet.com/hdupuy/ek7p73v60js2/wish/240373122 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.]]> 2018-03-09 21:16:42 UTC https://padlet.com/hdupuy/ek7p73v60js2/wish/240373122 https://padlet.com/hdupuy/ek7p73v60js2/wish/240373144 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.

CASE 1: If Kino had not found the pearl, the doctor may never have come to help Coyotito, ultimately leading to Coyotito's death.
