Now, during the last chapters of "The Pearl" by John Steinbeck, we get to learn more about Kino. Not only is Kino a great fisherman and Pearler ( I guess thats the right term ), but he is good at running from people, surviving, and he is a ruthless killer.  He reminds me of Liam Neeson in "Taken", the movie, Liam Neeson is just a regular working class father, until his family is in danger and then he turns into a fierce protector, just like Kino.

Throughout the whole book I found the parts using the songs and musics in Kino's head, I still don,t really understand why the author used these songs to represent Kino's feelings, I feel like there could of been an easier, just as effective way of showing that in the book. Another confusing part was when Coyotito died, I guess, I didn't really understand if he was dead or not until the last couple of sentences of the book. I also think that ended the story horribly, because killing off the baby was quite saddening to me.

I wondered why Juana never questioned what Kino did or what /kino told her to do after what Kino did to her. During their whole journey Juana could of left Kino on his own, but she didn't. Kino could of gotten them killed or saved them. He did both and Juana trusted him to save them and although Coyotito died Kino kept Juana alive and later on in life she can have the joy of another child.

In conclusion, I liked the overall plot of the story, but the way it was written was confusing and didn't interest me. I got lost in the book very easily. This made the book a little unpleasant to read, but the counterbalance of the plot kept me reading.
