When the poor family Kino finds the greatest pearl, the family gets famous soon. Even the doctor, who ignored Kino’s ill son, Coyotito, envies the pearl. As soon as Kino finds the pearl, he decides to have an official marriage and to give education to his son, Coyotito. Also, Coyotito gets medical diagnosis from the doctor, who anticipates a great amount of money out of the pearl. When Kino finally decides to sell his treasure, he gets enthusiastic. However, when the prices called by the dealers were not enough for Kino’s anticipation, he gets angry and insists that the dealers are cheating on him. So, he stubbornly refuses to sell and keeps. On that night, an intruder comes in and hurts Kino. Then, Juana takes care of him and asks him to sell the evil pearl. However, still stubborn in his opinion, Kino refuses to sell and maintains on the fact that he will get a better price at the capital.
Even though the greatest pearl brought wealth and fame to the Kino’s family, I don’t think it was a true wealth. People approached him because he financially changed, not a pure approach. I was also disappointed at the doctor because he immediately changed his attitude toward Kino after the news that he found the pearl of the world. Furthermore, I agree with Juana that the pearl is an evil pearl. It just made Kino greedy that he refused to sell his pearl at a thousand peso, which is a great amount of money. The pearl totally made him a greedy and obstinate person. On the other hand, I was surprised at Kino’s proposal of what to do with the money. If he were a normal poor person, he wouldn’t have thought about providing education to Coyotito, but rather material wealth to him. He thought the education was the only hope for them to get rid of the financial discrimination. I am looking forward to reading the next plot. I hope Kino doesn’t lose the innocent minds like at the beginning of the chapter.
