Answer to Ms. Clear's Blog post about The Pearl's smybolism
The music of the pearl disappearing means that the pearl is gone, that song isn't needed anymore. The pearl made great suffering to Kino's family including killing of Kino and Juana's only so, Coyotito the memory of what the song was being thrown away like the pearl in the sea. The Pearl symbolizes a gift that comes with a price, like the poison apple in snow white and the seven dwarves. Snow White she's getting an apple as a gift to eat and she ends up dieing from it once she takes a bite. The pearl easily had it's screaming effects on the society of the town and the native village. This pearl forces a doctor to try to kill Coyotito with a poison, for three professional killers to track and kill Coyotito in the act. It makes Kino life becomes a crumbling mess while his mind is twisted even more so. The town wants this great pearl just so they can be richer with more unneeded money. The village doesn't want the pearl, they want what the pearl can do, to lead them out of poverty and discrimination.

This shows that you understand the symbolism of the pearl and how it effects Kino and his family, and ever the towns people. And the suffering that the family had to go through. The use of words in this response is great. The part where you explain how Kino's life crumbles from under him. But in the beginning of your response when you say "The music of the pearl disappearing means that the pearl is gone..." I will disagree with, for the pearl isn't ever "gone" but that the people in the town will still try to get the pearl, because they never knew that Kino through it back in the ocean.
ReplyDeleteI believe you have met the standard during your response, because you showed that you understood what the pearl symbolize and how it effect the family and the people in the town. Good Job.
