P.O.V Chp.6

Kino and I ran away because Kino killed a guy that wanted to steal a pearl, and then we decide to move on by running away. On our way our son was killed and the main reason for the pearl was to give our son a better life. Now there is no reason for it, it is just an evil object that should be taken back from the place it came from. So we head home, we arrived in our hometown or let me say, “What used to be”. Now we are outsiders, even my brother in law doesn't talk to me. After everything that has happened to us we have no home nor family or friends, our life is destroyed. The first thing we do is head to the ocean to throw the pearl. That pearl is the main reason for our problems and struggles it destroyed us as I thought. As we head to throw it, I think to myself what would have happened if Kino had agreed to throw it from the beginning.

The day Kino found the pearl:

I said,“ the pearl is evil and it will destroy our family.”

Kino said, “ That's nonsense it will bring us a better life.”

But if Kino had said, “you are right!”

        Only if he had said that then we wouldn't have dealt with all of these problems. Instead of keeping the pearl with us, we would have gone to the shore and throw the pearl, even though we will not become rich and still be poor. Even though, we were happy, my son Coyotito wouldn't have gotten the doctor's treatment but he would have been alive now. At least we would have a family and friends but now we have nothing, from the pearl, which was supposed to gives everything instead, it took all we had.

As we were astounded by the fact of the murder, Juana and I escaped the scene, as we ran we realized that the main reason the murder was achieved  was because of the pearl,  we ran from the guilt that was conceived from the jewel of the sea, I believe it led to the death of Coyotito, and well I blame myself for the all the pain,hate, and the fate of our lives,  how is it that all this happened from a simple mix up of these new dark emotions?

I concluded that this harvested greed led to the grief Juana and I have.

A new leaf of hope

Captain Simmons

Kino's flashbacks when throwing the pearl

 As Kino threw the dastardly pearl into the treacherous sea, at the brief period of time of the release of the pearl to the sea he saw all those memories that grew in his mind, Coyotito death, the murder, the trackers that were stalking his family. To think all he ever wanted was a new hope, a hope for his family to prosper and develop into a normal life. But that that might not happen. As Kino and Juana were on their way back to their hut, they saw an American man with the most absurd mustache in La Paz. The man's name was Captain Arno Simmons, he was looking to establish a fleet of whaling brigs and pearl schooners and gunboats. He approached Kino with an offer that  will bring Kino to hope, Captain. Simmons confronts Kino telling of the infamous stories he's heard  of him and the pearl, and the sad loss of Coyotito. So Kino says, " Please Captain I invite you over to my hut to discuss over the job and the opportunity." Captain remarks, " My friend I heard of the dastardly doctor who has acted out in an inhumane way against your boy", Kino says," That is right my friend, the doctor was an old Spaniard from his old country." Captain Simmons says," Well Kino I came here looking for native divers and sailors, will you care to join me, I promise a good wage and a no scurvy guarantee, and I will provide proper quarters in my brig, Spirit of Harmony.", Kino astounded, "Why most gracious captain, that is just a great opportunity, how can i ever pay back?", The Captain, required Kino to  sail for 2 years and will return him to La Paz, or to his hometown of New Orleans. It was sad for Kino and his wife to leave La Paz, he even wanted to stay but Juana convinced him and said, "Kino stop blubbering over the past and look towards the future, our love we must keep it alive, its a new leaf of hope!". after that lecture Kino smiled, and agreed to sail with Simmons and his crew.

Kino and Juana agreeing to join the fleet

Spirit of Coyotito

Kino and his wife have sailed for the last 2 years, they had voyages all over the Gulf of Mexico. The Fleet became known as the,  The spirit of Coyotito, in honor of Kino's son. Captain Simmons awarded Kino with one gunboat, a brig, and a darn good wage, Kino has never been happier in his entire life, ever since The Pearl of the world's downfall Kino begun to see  life more precious, and to honor his son, he has never backed down  from life, he realized that there is more to life then   sinking at the bottom of a wine bottle  with reminiscence   of his failure to achieve his goals of ambition, instead he lived up to his expectations in life, he realized life gives and takes. Life took Coyotito, and it gave himself and his wife a new hope. When life gives you pearls, think about it, when life gave Kino hope, he fixed his error in his ways and made long-lasting friendships with great friends,

Chapter 7 ending

“The music of the pearl drifted to a whisper and disappeared.” Kino and Juana threw the pearl back where it's supposed to be. Now they have lost the most important thing in their life, which is their son Coyotito, and they got rid of the pearl. After this juana has no reason to stay with kino after all of the things he have done, which lead to the destruction of the family. Juana hold Kino hand and says, “ Kino, I can't stay with you anymore, because every time to see you I remember our beloved son Coyotito.” Kino replies, “ I am sorry Juana I know I am too late but I have realized that the pearl destroyed us. Believe me I will change, please dont go I love you. you are my only hope in life, we need to stay together at all times, please don't leave me.” Juana says, “ I am sorry but you never listened to me and the only thing that made me stay is our son, but now there is nothing to keep me.” Kino replies, “ My love don't leave I have no one other than you, and if you will leave I will kill myself right now with this knife.” Juana says ( without looking at Kino), “ I don't care, do whatever you want I don't love you anymore.” Juana walks away from Kino, but she hears a shout and runs back as fast as she can while she finds Kino holding the Knife and going to kill himself. she shouts, “ Don't do it Kino!” Kino says,” I have to do this because I ruined  everything in our life.” In a moment he kills himself and Juana walks away like nothing happened. As she walks through the town no one talks to her, she is hated. and now Juana has lost everyone her son and her love, but she is walking Juana noticed that there are these two men after her, she walks slowly but then jog until the point she is running and can't even catch her breath. As she runs the shout,’’ stop there is no point of you running we will catch you and kill you.” and that makes her run faster, but as she runs Juana trips over a huge rock as the two men stand behind her with a gun on her head and one says,” Any last words?”  Juana doesn't answer but she takes out a knife from her pocket and cut the man leg and stabs the other in his chest. She gets up a starts running out of town as fast as she can but, on her away she realizes that she became worse than her husband and stands in the middle of the desert watching the sun set and being alone with the only companion was her memory and imagination, she kills herself. The whole family has died leaving nothing behind except the legend of The Pearl. After a few years everyone forgot who they were to the point they point they never existed.

The past and present meet at last

Compare

Contrast

kino life before the discovery of the pearl was very simple, he is a peasant and a fisherman who lives with his wife Juana and baby coyotito. He used to wake up by the sound of nature, then eat breakfast with his wife. then he might go pearl diving. Even though he lives this poor life kino was happy with his life and family. Until his baby coyotito gets bitten by a scorpion and they aren't able to get a doctor treatment because they are poor. They find the pearl so this is supposed to make their life better, but it did the total opposite , kino lost the whole town and his wife. The first night someone tries to steal the pearl and that results in a scar on kino's face. And when it was going to get better and kino is supposed to sell the pearl, the opposite happens and it brings more trouble which results with kino killing someone and now they are on the run, their life changed from simple to complicated.

Kino’s Life was a life of any other native mexican living it the town of La Paz, he lived a simple life of peasantry before the discovery of the damned pearl that had his reputation tarnished as well as his family. Before the pearl he was neglected by the doctor since that he isn’t from his “class”, after that well comparing their lives we can see a great many of changes, They changed their staus, to greedy,Kino used to be a great man.

Chapter 5, A change int he family

So this brief chapter just has one evil thing upon another thing, Kino used to be a kind pearl diver but one thing led to another, he committed a sin, a sin his wife will forever remember. Basically Kino was reduced to desperation, significantly, everything that has been happening to him is ealted to the pearl of the world. 
When Kino reached up to his wife, Juana he slapped  her, so basically he got corrupted by all the things that has been happening, "his teeth are bared. He hisses at her like a snake." Already, there is a major change occurring within Kino; he is becoming more and more like an animal —even in his treatment of Juana who, because of her upbringing, accepts such treatment. She knows that there is murder in the heart of her husband, and she accepts it without understanding it. In the same way, she knows that she needs a man; she does not know why, but she knows that Kino is a man, and she cannot live without a man.
Juana changed a lot actually,  her love for Kino is dying, she has realized that. She helplessly tries to hold on to their relationship.

The profile- Bader Al- MUDHAF

Juana was super happy for her husband Kino when he found The World’s exclusive Pearl then after a day or 3 she wanted Kino to destroy/scramble  it and get rid of it as soon as possible, because she thinks that it’s full of evil after the chain of events that occurred after its find, and by evil I mean that she thinks that it could ruin her family. Juana thinks that it’s evil because Kino has been attacked by a person and it left Kino with a bloody wound. When Kino had the pearl he went to the pearl buyer and asking for a valuable price for the pearl but the buyer shut him down with the prices. Juana is also afraid because when she wanted to take her pearl Coyotito to the doctor with Kino, the doctor refused them because they didn't have any money but when Kino found the most valuable pearl which is The  doctor and the doctor’s servant went to Kino’s and Juana’s house the day the found it and the doctor offered if he could cure their son Coyotito. That’s some if the reasons why Juana is afraid and thinks that the pearl is "pure evil ” because it can destroy their lives and causes unwanted emotions in their lives and their community.
