The Pearl by Anna Brown https://padlet.com/anna_brown10/hefahzhhiqho en-us 2019-11-20 17:01:12 UTC 2026-03-16 12:36:36 UTC hello@padlet.com The town lay on a broad estuary, its old yellow plastered buildings hugging the beach. And on the beach the white and blue canoes that came from Nayarit were drawn up, canoes preserved for generations by a hard shell-like waterproof plaster whose making was a secret of the fishing people. They were high and graceful canoes with curving bow and stern and a braced section midships where a mast could be stepped to carry a small lateen sail. anna_brown10 https://padlet.com/anna_brown10/hefahzhhiqho/wish/414139709 2019-11-20 17:02:12 UTC https://padlet.com/anna_brown10/hefahzhhiqho/wish/414139709 1) Coyotito was stung by a scorpion, resulting in the family having to go to the doctor, only to be turned down because they had no money. elizabeth_rutledge https://padlet.com/anna_brown10/hefahzhhiqho/wish/414141982 2019-11-20 17:04:51 UTC https://padlet.com/anna_brown10/hefahzhhiqho/wish/414141982 Kino- Dynamic character; Towards the beginning he's content and he's humble.

It caused many problems between Kino's family. It also caused a problem in Kino's mind. He became very greedy and obsessive over the pearl. elizabeth_rutledge https://padlet.com/anna_brown10/hefahzhhiqho/wish/414145937 2019-11-20 17:10:00 UTC https://padlet.com/anna_brown10/hefahzhhiqho/wish/414145937 Falling Action: Kino, Juana and Coyotito head out for the capital by foot when they are then being followed by three trackers, they end up hiding on the mountain until Kino decides to take charge and go and try to go and try ambush the trackers, he ended up killing all three trackers and taking the rifle but before he could do so, Coyotito had been shot because his cries were mistaken for Coyote cries. anna_brown10 https://padlet.com/anna_brown10/hefahzhhiqho/wish/414146079 2019-11-20 17:10:11 UTC https://padlet.com/anna_brown10/hefahzhhiqho/wish/414146079 Symbols samantha_bart https://padlet.com/anna_brown10/hefahzhhiqho/wish/414146100 In "The Pearl" there was a situation where Coyotito was in his box, but a scorpion stung Coyotito which represents something evil trying to take innocence from a baby.]]> 2019-11-20 17:10:13 UTC https://padlet.com/anna_brown10/hefahzhhiqho/wish/414146100 samantha_bart https://padlet.com/anna_brown10/hefahzhhiqho/wish/414146998 Another symbol in "The Pearl" is the pearl itself. It represented wealth and greed.]]> 2019-11-20 17:11:17 UTC https://padlet.com/anna_brown10/hefahzhhiqho/wish/414146998 Resolution: Kino and Juana return to the small town standing side by side, they walk passed everybody in the town without saying a word, they then get to sea and take the pearl and threw it out to sea. anna_brown10 https://padlet.com/anna_brown10/hefahzhhiqho/wish/414147314 2019-11-20 17:11:43 UTC https://padlet.com/anna_brown10/hefahzhhiqho/wish/414147314 GREED The pearl dealers are greedy and want to trick Kino into selling his pearl for less than it’s worth. The town’s people are Kino’s neighbors in daylight, but turn into Kino’s attackers and enemies at night as they try to take the pearl away from him.Kino himself is greedy when he refuses to dispose of the pearl that brings him danger. It seems that the pearl and material wealth in general brings out the greed in the people who seek it. anna_brown10 https://padlet.com/anna_brown10/hefahzhhiqho/wish/414154795 2019-11-20 17:21:10 UTC https://padlet.com/anna_brown10/hefahzhhiqho/wish/414154795 samantha_bart https://padlet.com/anna_brown10/hefahzhhiqho/wish/414161052 One verbal (participle)  from "The Pearl" is "In his mind a new song had come, the Song of Evil, the secret, dangerous melody, and underneath, the Song of the Family cried plaintively. "

It brought out a side in Kino no one knew he had. elizabeth_rutledge https://padlet.com/anna_brown10/hefahzhhiqho/wish/414161208 2019-11-20 17:29:33 UTC https://padlet.com/anna_brown10/hefahzhhiqho/wish/414161208 The irony in The Pearl was that all this time Kino wanted a rifle, and after all the destruction and his own baby being killed, he finally got a rifle. Another moment of irony (dramatic) was when the audience knew that the doctor was going to turn down treatment for the baby, but Kino and Juana did not. elizabeth_rutledge https://padlet.com/anna_brown10/hefahzhhiqho/wish/414162663 2019-11-20 17:31:31 UTC https://padlet.com/anna_brown10/hefahzhhiqho/wish/414162663 samantha_bart https://padlet.com/anna_brown10/hefahzhhiqho/wish/414166026 An infinitive  is "A late moth blustered in to find the fire."]]> 2019-11-20 17:36:18 UTC https://padlet.com/anna_brown10/hefahzhhiqho/wish/414166026 samantha_bart https://padlet.com/anna_brown10/hefahzhhiqho/wish/414166897 Lastly, a gerund is "His eyes flickered to a rustle behind him."]]> 2019-11-20 17:37:35 UTC https://padlet.com/anna_brown10/hefahzhhiqho/wish/414166897 1) Personification- The day had drawn only a pale wash of light in the lower sky to the east. This is giving the sky a person-like action by "drawing only a pale wash of light." elizabeth_rutledge https://padlet.com/anna_brown10/hefahzhhiqho/wish/414168052 2019-11-20 17:39:10 UTC https://padlet.com/anna_brown10/hefahzhhiqho/wish/414168052 2) elizabeth_rutledge https://padlet.com/anna_brown10/hefahzhhiqho/wish/414168144 2019-11-20 17:39:18 UTC https://padlet.com/anna_brown10/hefahzhhiqho/wish/414168144 3) elizabeth_rutledge https://padlet.com/anna_brown10/hefahzhhiqho/wish/414168166 2019-11-20 17:39:20 UTC https://padlet.com/anna_brown10/hefahzhhiqho/wish/414168166 4) elizabeth_rutledge https://padlet.com/anna_brown10/hefahzhhiqho/wish/414168192 2019-11-20 17:39:22 UTC https://padlet.com/anna_brown10/hefahzhhiqho/wish/414168192 5) elizabeth_rutledge https://padlet.com/anna_brown10/hefahzhhiqho/wish/414168219 2019-11-20 17:39:24 UTC https://padlet.com/anna_brown10/hefahzhhiqho/wish/414168219
