A 5 paragraph about The Pearl fate and Kinos fault?
In The Pearl by John Steinbeck, Kino, the main character, did not succeed in his dreams of a luxurious life. There where many reasons why Kino did not succeed. One may believe that it was a combination of fate, the pearl buyers, and his own greed. Fate was a major aspect to why Kino did not succeed in his dreams of having a luxurious life. When Kino discovered the Pearl he thought that it would take him out of poverty and into a life of happiness. "But the pearls were accidents, and the finding of one was luck, a little pat on the back by God or the gods both" (Chapter 2). This quotation occurs when Kino is about to go pearl diving for the Pearl of the World. This quotation also shows that certain things happen that we have no control over, therefore one can feel that Kino's downfall is not entirely his own fault. The Pearl ended up bringing ultimate unhappiness to Kino and Juana. The pearl buyers were also major reasons to why Kino did not succeed. If the pearl buyers had given Kino a fair price for the Pearl, then Kino would have sold the Pearl. If Kino sold the Pearl then Coyotitio would have never been shot. This would give Kino a chance to succeed in his dream of a luxurious life. This did not happen. The pearl buyers did not give Kino a fair price, they said that the pearl was fools gold and worth nothing. This caused Kino to decide not to sell the pearl to them . This leads to Coyotitio eventually being shot by the gunfire between the trackers and Kino. This ultimately destroys Kino's dreams. Kino not succeeding was also partly his own fault. Kino's desire for the Pearl was a major conflict in the parable. If Kino wasn't greedy and gave up the Pearl when he found out his family was in danger, his son wouldn't have been killed. " This pearl has become my soul. If I give it up I shall lose my soul"(Chapter6). Kino thought that without the Pearl his dreams could not come true. At this point he did not realize that Pearl would bring him ultimate unhappiness. Sometimes in life there is more than one cause to your problems. In Kino's life he did not succeed do to many thing. Three of these combined lead to Kino's downfall. These aspects include fate, the pearl buyers, and his own greed. I think that's a good one:)
