Dear Mr. Steinbeck,
Your book The Pearl was great. There were some parts that weren’t so great. Reading this book was enjoyable most of the time. On the other hand, it was a little confusing. Although the book was confusing at some points, there were more parts of the book that were understandable.
Some confusing parts in The Pearl are when Kino killed one man, in the dark, and when the baby started to heal, after they found the pearl. I don’t know what was with it that confused me, but I just didn’t understand it. I also realized it was hard to follow, but it was a good story.
The Pearl was great because it shows what something as small as a single pearl can do to you. For example, Kino killed four men, and beat his wife Juana. If you looked at him and compared him from the beginning to end, there is a huge difference. In the beginning, Kino would never do anything to hurt his family, but he ended up hurting his family, and more. After all the drama happens, Kino’s son got shot in the head, and that was for the best, because it taught Kino a lesson.
Although Cayotito died, Kino has learned a lesson. He should never let money, or anything over-power him because it will end up not too pretty. All in all the book was awesome and I hope to read more books by you sometime sometime when I get older because I guess I will understand it more.
