         <description><![CDATA[<div>"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 amidships where a mast could be stepped to carry a small lateen sail."</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>The reader learns a lot of different lessons throughout the story. The most important one, I think, would be do not be consumed by greed. You can see many greedy characters throughout the story. The doctor for one, the priest for another, and all of these characters are evil and whenever Kino is around these characters the song of the evil starts playing and he gets an evil vibe. Throughout the story, though, we see Kino turn greedy. Once he finds the Pearl of the World he thinks of all these great things he wants for his family, and although he might have good intentions, it turns out bad in the end because he longs for these exact things and gets consumed by this evil when trying to protect his wealth. Since he is greedy and wants all this money, he often gets attacked throughout the story and turns mean. Kino, a once kind and respectful individual who just kept his head down and got through things with his loving family, turns into this mean man who struck his own wife and kills a man. Greed consumes him and he hides away and starts to go on the run, which all happened because of his greed, and eventually gets Coyotito killed because he was greedy. He broke his family apart by his own doing. In the end, he finally found out he lost his greatest possession. Not the pearl, but his own child. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div><strong>The Pearl -</strong> The pearl was a symbol of evil during the story and had not led Kino and his family to any good. The pearl was also a symbol of greed. Once Kino had gotten the Pearl he has gotten a sense of greed and he was losing trust for most people he was close to before. It caused him to become unsatisfied with all of the things he was satisfied with before.<strong><br><br>Scorpion - </strong>The scorpion was also a source of evil. Before Coyotito  was stung by it Kino said he heard the song of the enemy all around him.<strong><br><br>Canoe - </strong>Canoe - The canoe symbolizes Kino's way of life. Kino, being a fisherman, that's how he provides for his family and that's what he uses to find the pearl. The canoe is a source of culture. The canoe has been passed down through his family since his grandfather got it. Kino inherited it from his father as that's been how he gets food, finds the pearl, plans to escape. All in all, the canoe is an essential part in Kino's life.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>1. <strong>Situational irony</strong><br>Kino did not think or realize, anything that Juana said about how the pearl was bad, and brought evil to the family and there life. Though later on in the story, Kino tells Juana that the tress are dangerous. "Beware of that kind of tree there, he said, pointing. Do not touch<br>it, for if you do and then touch your eyes, it will blind you. And<br>beware of the tree that bleeds."<br><br>2. <strong>Situational Irony<br></strong>When Kino went to go sell his pearl the Pearl Dealers said that it was valueless yet they want the pearl and Kino and the reader knows this because they send people after Kino to get the pearl. As said in the text, "And the dealer heard a little grumble go through the crowd as they heard his price. And the dealer felt a little tremor of fear." The fear described is fear that he may have pushed too low for the price of the pearl and Kino might catch on to him playing him. </div>]]></description>
