They are in La Paz in the early 1900s
1. “He said, 'I am a man,' and that meant certain things to Juana. It meant that he was half insane and half god.” At the beginning, Kino was happy with what he had, he was calm and also peaceful, then at the end of the story he was the complete opposite
2.  "Juana watched him with worry, but she knew him and she knew she could help him best by being silent and by being near. And as though she too could hear the Song of Evil, she fought it, signing softly the melody of the family, of the safety and warmth and wholeness of the family." Juana represents the traditional loving, obedient, and forgiving wife. Her strength comes from her love for her family. For Juana, every decision she makes is in the best interest of her husband Kino and her son Coyotito, even when Kino does not agree.]]> 2019-11-15 16:23:27 UTC https://padlet.com/haylee_williams1/rjgpdjon90gy/wish/411885617 haylee_williams1 https://padlet.com/haylee_williams1/rjgpdjon90gy/wish/411885987 The Pearl is set in a small fishing village in La Paz Mexico. A year is never mentioned, but it is probably during the early 1900's. A quote from the book “one big cart going through town in the morning” is evidence that there were no motor vehicles.]]> 2019-11-15 16:23:55 UTC https://padlet.com/haylee_williams1/rjgpdjon90gy/wish/411885987 haylee_williams1 https://padlet.com/haylee_williams1/rjgpdjon90gy/wish/411886063 The canoe: The canoe is a symbol of tradition.
The pearl: When kino finds the pearl, it is a symbol of hope, but throughout the story, the pearl is a symbol of wealth and greed.
The scorpion: The scorpion is a symbol of what evil is in the world.]]> 2019-11-15 16:24:01 UTC https://padlet.com/haylee_williams1/rjgpdjon90gy/wish/411886063 haylee_williams1 https://padlet.com/haylee_williams1/rjgpdjon90gy/wish/411886208 1.) "The roosters had been crowing for some time, and the early pigs were already beginning their ceaseless turning of twigs and bits of wood to see whether anything to eat had been overlooked."

This connects to the story because kino says that he want an education for Coyotito, he wants a proper wedding with Juana, he wants new cloths, and he wanted a rifle, in this case, he was thinking of himself, not others]]> 2019-11-15 16:24:24 UTC https://padlet.com/haylee_williams1/rjgpdjon90gy/wish/411886380 haylee_williams1 https://padlet.com/haylee_williams1/rjgpdjon90gy/wish/411886787 2019-11-15 16:24:49 UTC https://padlet.com/haylee_williams1/rjgpdjon90gy/wish/411886787 haylee_williams1 https://padlet.com/haylee_williams1/rjgpdjon90gy/wish/411887257 Exposition: Kino, a young pearl diver in La Paz, enjoys his simple life until the day his son, Coyotito, is stung by a scorpion.

"Only his eyes searched the darkness, and in the pale light of the moon that crept through the holes in the brush house Kino saw Juana arise silently from beside him." This is a type of personification, and the author put this in the story to describe how far the light of the moon went. Chapter five
2. "A town is a thing like a colonial animal." This is a type of simile, and the author included this in the story because the news travels so fast it seems to have a memory and motivation of its own. Chapter three
3. "The town lay on a broad estuary its old yellow plastered buildings hugging the beach." This is a type of personification, and the author decided to put this to describe how close the town was to the beach. Chapter two
4. "Juana went to the fire pit and uncovered a coal and fanned it alive while she broke little pieces of brush over it." This is a type of personification, and the author put this in the story to describe how the coal is lighting up. Chapter one
5. "It bit through neck and deep into chest, and Kino was a terrible machine" This is a metaphor since it's comparing Kino to a machine.

An example of dramatic irony is when Kino says the pearl is of good fortune, but the audience knows that with wealth comes greed.]]> 2019-11-15 16:25:40 UTC https://padlet.com/haylee_williams1/rjgpdjon90gy/wish/411887530 haylee_williams1 https://padlet.com/haylee_williams1/rjgpdjon90gy/wish/411890442 One internal conflict is when Kino doesn't want to get rid of the pearl, but he knows it's causing problems.
One type of external conflict is when Coyotito gets stung by a scorpion. This is character versus nature. ]]> 2019-11-15 16:29:11 UTC https://padlet.com/haylee_williams1/rjgpdjon90gy/wish/411890442
