After finishing the book The Pearl, by John Steinbeck I found a life lesson in the book for me and the way the book was written. The lesson was you can't turn your back on anyone because at the time no matter how mad you are you never know when they're going to be there for you. At the end when Coyote dies Juana and Kino are there, when Kino throws the Pearl in the Gulf Juana is there. Then to get through the long journey climbing through mountains going through long paths struggling to find water Juana and Kino fight through the whole thing together. Then when I was reading for clues I noticed that John Steinbeck knows how to make things realistic but he has his moments where there are dry spots in the book and also very exciting parts.
John Steinbeck has a way of writing that can be boring when you are reading some parts that could be really exciting he kind of kills his ideas. In chapter four how they bring the baby to the doctor because they think something is wrong, the doctor had no interest until he found out that Kino had the Pearl. When John Steinbeck wrote that he didn’t put that jumpy word or act into it. But then again it makes his exciting parts double the excitement and you want to keep reading. As in the last chapter they are going across a plain dry land Juana, Kino, and Coyote are traveling and they reach a mountain, when they go to climb the mountain they have no energy. When they finally get to the top they're all dying for water. When Kino keeps walking he finds a pool of water to stop their thirst. In that point of the book John Steinbeck was a very good writer because they couldn't afford to be thirsty nor did they have time to stop moving. John Steinbeck also has a way with words that show the book out, as in bad usage of words, but overall I did like the book and I would recommend it to a friend.
