Literature # 2 – The Pearl Read the passage Consider the following: After being rejected by the doctor, Kino and Juana go to the beach where they take their boat out into the sea. He sees an enormous oyster lying alone under a stone, and through its open lips, he glimpses a phantom brightness. Without hurry, he gets the oyster and holds it against his chest. He violently kicks the immersion stone and goes back to the surface. Kino looks at the big oyster and he hesitates to open it, but Juana, her hand over Coyotito's head, encourages him. He forces the lips open with his knife and there it is, a pearl "perfect as the moon", big as a gull's egg. The news that Kino found the "Pearl of the World" spreads over the brush houses even before he gets home, and then goes on to the stone and plaster village.  Character motivation  Methods of Characterization  Imagery  Symbols  Motifs  Conflict  Theme  Allusion  Conflict  Syntax  Diction
