The setting of the story is in a forest, in the neighborhood of Kino's people, and the capital, La Paz.
Rising Action: Coyotito, gets stung by a scorpion and Juana takes out the poison. They go to the doctor, but the doctor compares them as animals. Kino goes out and finds the pearl in an oyster. Kino then says that him and his family will have great fortune, and go to the priest to marry Juana. The priest suggests that they should give the money to the church. Kino, Juana, and Coyotito go to the doctor, but he gives Coyotito not a cure, but an item that made him sick. On many nights after, figures known as the 'dark ones', have been attempting to steal the pearl from Kino.
Climax: Kino kills a man, Juana tries to throw away the pearl but is unsuccessful, and their house is set on fire. Their canoe then breaks and have to flee for Kino won't get caught.
Falling Action: After Kino and his family flee far away, someone sends trackers in order for them to kill Kino, and steal the pearl. Juana and Coyotito hide in a cave as the trackers get closer to Kino. One of the trackers shoot inside of the cave as Coyotito cries. Kino kills one of the trackers and the rest flee. Coyotito is confirmed dead as Juana cries. Juana and Kino return back to the village side by side.

Kino learns this by having bad experiences even though he always has the pearl in his possession. We can apply this to the modern day by not always having to fight over things, such as money or land in the case of war.]]> 2019-12-04 16:39:27 UTC https://padlet.com/joshua_m_lee/hgkh53tcorx1/wish/419748361 joshua_m_lee https://padlet.com/joshua_m_lee/hgkh53tcorx1/wish/419757344 "The town lay on a broad estuary."
