I think it means that one accident can change a life. It was be accident a peril was found or that the scorpion found coyotito. It relates to us because anything cane happen, a car crash, terrorism, or a fossil in your back yard. Anything could happen accidentally in your life. What's accidentally happened in yours.

I think this hints that things can happen unexpectedly in life. Kino and Juana didn't know that the scorpion would sting Coyotito. "Kino and Juana froze in their positions." (Pg. 4) This shows that they didn't anticipate this, they were shocked. This could relate to us as well, you could lose your job, get hurt, or you could have good things happen unexpectedly as well, like a promotion. What was the last thing that happened to you that was unexpected?

I do not know maybe on my birthday I got a present I didn't know I'd get. I was surprised and it was amazing. But yes accidents can either be good or bad anything can happen in life.

The text from the book hints about the theme of the story Because it tells the reader that anything could happen at any given moment, and u might be surprised. For example in the book when Coyotito got stung by the scorpion Juana, and Kino were surprised. "Kino and Juana froze in their positions."(4). An example of when the surprised factor could relate to us in real life could be when u get a test of yours back and you find out that you got a really good grade or you might of got a bad grade and the results might of made you surprised. What surprises you in life?

I think it means that Kino could have an accident and it doesn't have to be bad it can be lucky or bad luck and he found a big, huge Pearl. So it was goof luck and it said "It captured the light and refined it and gave it back in silver incandescence. It was large as a sea-gull's egg." This just shows that there are good accidents to in life. Anything can happen in life good or bad, but how are you going to react to it?

I think that the theam of the story is that anything can happens. Kino and Juana did not expect Coyotito to get stung by a scorpion. They also never expected to find a pearl. This relates to our life's because, anything could happend to us. We don't expect things. Right now, your a student who wants to leave school to do something else, next thing you know, you want to come back to school because of whatever bad happend to you.

i think if we related it to our life its almost as if sometimes we have to be ready to be ready if accidents happen and a change occurs. Its also important that we all know that accidents do happen. i also think that even though some of the themes are oysters, pearls, scorpions and natives, for now it seems as if in the first 2 chapters themes could be based off, mystery, for example getting bit by the scorpion, the doctor being cruel and finding the pearl, that was all a mystery to them, they didnt know it was going to happen but it did. and they dont know if the baby will be getting better soon, thats still a mystery to them.

I Belive that the theme is One accident or mistake can change your life like when the scorpion bit coyotito they dirent expect it to happen but it did. So That means anything could happen in your life and change it fo ever It could end it, It can make it better, or it can make it worst.

I think the hint of the story is 'that things can happen unespecdally in life.' Kino and Juana didn't know the coyotito was going to get stug by the scorpion. On page 4 it quotes "kino and Juana froze in their position." This shows that they were shocked and it came unexpectedly. This could relate to us in many ways in life in many different examples, Either good or bad.

I think that quote relates to real life because if an accident happens to one person, it could bring good fortune to another.

I think the text above shows some of the themes in the Pearl like; You have to protect yourself, you can't just wait for others to do something. My evidence is, that Kino had to fight to keep him and his family safe. I also think the text could be saying, to make your own, and good decision. In conclusion I think the text hints the theme of the Pearl but saying; make smart choices to keep yourself safe.

" we will be married in a great church and in the pearl he saw Juana with her beaten face crawling home through the night, our son must learn to read, he said frantically and in the pearl coyotito's face, thick, and feverish from the medicine." "71" I think this is a hint to the theme because in my opinion this theme is, you don't need brand new things to be happy, you need family and this text shows that everything kino wanted was the opposite
