What I thought of the Pearl

The Pearl wasn't my all time favorite book in the world but once I got into it I always wanted to know what was going to happen next. At first I didn't like the book because I thought that it was going to slow for me. But once I got about to half way the story really started to pick up the speed. I thought one of the most interesting parts in the book was when the pearl of the world was taking over Kino and making him a different person. If I were in Juana's place in the book I would have also tried to do anything for my child and also if something was trying to destroy my family I would try to get rid of it. I believe the lesson learned in the book "The Pearl" was that never stop trying for something that you love. Like Juana never stopped trying for her family, Kino, and or her first born son. Although in the end of the book their son dies they still go on with there life even though it may never be the same again.
