         <description><![CDATA[<div>One major symbol in The Pearl would be the pearl itself. In the beginning of the story the pearl was hope for Kino and his family because the money that came from the pearl could save Coyotito. As the story progresses the pearl becomes a type of evil that changed Kino, then ended up changing the family forever. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Kino- <strong>("Hush," he said fiercely. "I am a man. Hush." And she was silent, for his voice was command.)</strong> This sentence shows how Kino is transforming from a kind, reserved, peaceful man to a paranoid, vicious, and aggressive man.  In the beginning of the story, Kino was happy and at peace in life, until Coyotito was stung by the scorpion and the doctor refused to help them. When he first was looking for the pearl he had good intentions to only save his son, when he found the pearl the people around him started to change and become greedy. It started to change Kino and make him less of a good man.<br><br><strong>Juana</strong>- <strong>("The two came from the rutted country road into the city, and they were not walking in single file, Kino ahead and Juana behind, as usual, but side by side.")</strong> This quote characterizes how Juana has changed from the beginning of the novel to the end. In the beginning she only wanted to please her husband but as the story comes to an end she begins to become independent. More importantly she becomes equal to Kino which is why they stood side by side. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div><strong>Internal conflict- </strong> Kino has  had some internal changes throughout this story. At first, Kino was peaceful and kind. However, since he got the pearl he has become more and more full of hatred and hostility.<br><strong>External Conflict</strong>- "Kino's hand leaped to catch it, but it fell past his fingers, fell on the baby's shoulder, landed and struck." This represents man v.s. nature.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>The theme of this story is being thankful of what you have it is better than not having anything at all. This theme can apply to the modern world by not always complaining about what we don't have or taking to much of what we already have because this can lead to greediness or envy. Greed and envy can cause loss and hurt to others. This could also cause loss and hurt to yourself.</div>]]></description>

         <title>Irony</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div><strong>"You must. It is the wise thing and it is my wish," he said. "No," said Juana."</strong> This represents situational irony because Juana's people's customs are to listen to the man of the house. <br><strong>"The trackers scuttled along, stopping, looking, and hurrying on" </strong>This represents situational irony because the trackers that are expected to find then missed their trail. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div><strong>Personification</strong>-<strong>(Its old yellow plastered buildings hugging<br>the beach.)</strong>- Buildings cannot really hug a beach.<br><strong>(Although the morning was young, the hazy mirage was up.)</strong>- The author used this as an example to explain how even though it was early, their peoples beliefs were still strong.<strong><br>Simile -(She looked up at him, her eyes as cold as the eyes of a lioness.)</strong> This is comparing Juana  to a lioness.<br><strong>Simile-(A town is a thing like a colonial animal.) </strong><br>The author used this as an example to show the religiousness of their town and the beliefs its people have. <br><strong>Metaphor- (Kino was a terrible machine now.)</strong> This is comparing Kino a machine without using the word like or as.</div>]]></description>
