SettingTime- “The Pearl” is set around the turn of the 19th century.Place- The novel is set on the Baja Peninsula in La Paz, Mexico, a coastal village.Influence on the plot- Sin from the story is written in colonial times, in the book there were many scenes showing how people were separated by wealth. Furthermore, it showed how people were obeyed to do whatever they were told to do by their rulers. Characters Protagonist: Kino is the main character of the entire novel. Antagonist: Hunters, Thieves, and Shoppers are the main antagonists. Minor Characters: Juana and Coyotito are the minor characters in the story. Juana- Juana changes a lot throughout the book. At first she is a loving, caring, strong and protective wife and mother. Halfway through the book she transforms into an anxious, worried, curious and distrustful wife, unlike at the end of the novel she becomes a thoughtful, sad and depressed woman who feels guilty. Kino- At the beginning of the book Kino is a loving, caring, strong, intelligent, hard-working and respectful husband and father, on the other hand in the middle of the story he begins to act more aggressively, protectively and violently who does not think clearly. However, by the end of the piece of writing, Kino begins to become caring, loving, thoughtful himself, but also a sad husband. Message on the topic: wealth will not solve all your problems. Author's craft/support: You can learn many lessons from the short novel "The Pearl". ”, but one of the most significant themes is that wealth won't solve all your problems. I know this because of what happens in the story. First, Kino and his family are poor, but they find the “Pearl of the World” which they think can...... middle of paper ......or similes describe how the plot of the novel develops Kino begins to change his attitude from caring and loving to aggressive and crazy. Point of View Perspective - Perspective is third-person omniscient, meaning we can hear various thoughts, perspectives, feelings, and opinions. We can hear voices other than Kino's, like that of Juana and other characters. Mood and tone The mood of the book is dark and anxious; similarly the tone of the story is worrying and intense. I know this thanks to the words and actions the characters think or do. For example, in the story there are words like “destroy,” “attack,” “warning,” “explosion,” “dark,” and “killed.” These words included by the author give a dark and suspenseful tone and atmosphere. Likewise, characters fight, kill, argue, and sabotage people, also conveying a negative vibe to the story and the reader.
