The Pearl Theme
In this story by John Steinbeck there is many tones and it is always changing. At the beginning of the story Kino and Juana's baby gets stung by a scorpion and the doctor won't help them because they don't have enough money. Then as the plot progresses Kino finds the pearl. Then all of the sudden everybody listens to Kino and wants to serve him just because he has the pearl. Know the pearl's power is starting to take over Kino and he wants to sell it so they can be rich but Juana says no. So know they go to the doctor and the doctor says he will serve their baby just because he wants the money. So then he doesn't exactly know what to do so he poisons the baby to stop the other poison. Which really isn't a treatment so Kino is kind of mad. I think the theme of this story would be greed and evil, because lots of people of act evil and once Kino everyone in the town becomes greedy of Kino's pearl.
