The Music of The Pearl

When I read the last line of The Pearl, It moved me and some things that I though about were these. Throughout the story, Kino hears the music of the pearl. In the beginning, it is joyous and strong. There is also the music of the family and the music of evil. All of the music changes for as the novel progresses, the music of the pearl turns into a greedy hiss and snarl. The song of the family is a mere whimper. The song of evil is the worst by far, thundering, trampling, pounding, killing. Because of the music of the pearl, it blinds Kino, sheilding him from reality. Kino does not realize that the pearl symbolizes greed and evil.The hope that was once there has now vanished and Kino's family is in terrible danger because of the pearl. Kino wouldn't have truck Juana if it wasn't for the pearl. Kino wouldn't have killed a man because of the pearl. The pearl changed Kino and his actions which in turn changed his life and his family. The pearl made a big impact upon Kino and his famiy but also on the towns people for finding the pearl of the world in a lowly class structure such as the townspeople, its almost as if they each got a pearl. Because their little village is so poor, many of the richer village are jealous. jealous enough to burn down Kino's house, attack him more than once, try to kill him, and kill his son. This is why the statement "And the music of pearl drifted to a whisper and disappeared." means so much to the story. When the pearl is returned to its home, Kino's troubles are gone and so is the frightful music of the pearl.
