This novela called "The pearl" by "john Steinbeck" is a story that talks about corruption, greed and ambition. This story take place in Baja California, Mexico in a little town called La Paz. This is ironic because it means peace and they don't have peace. The towns people just want money. Kino is a selfish man who found the "Pearl of the World"and with this pearl he wanted to realize their dreams. But, his wife Juana wanted to throw away the pearl because she felt insecurity.Will kino sell the pearl? I recomend this book because it is a story about greed and you can see the problems of a poor family. I give to this book five stars because is interesting and I'm sure that if you read this book you can learn a lot of things about life.
