I think that so far in The Pearl, It shows how family is most important, and that you have to fight for your family, and the people you love. So far my least favorite character in The Pearl is the Docter, because he didn't help Coyotito after he for stung by as scorpion. My favorite character so far in The Pearl is Juana because right once Coyotio got stung by the scorpion, she went into mama mode and helped Coyotito by sucking the scorpions venom out, and then taking him to the doctor. Who is your least and least favorite character so far?

The sentence (“To get him would be a remarkable thing.”) this
sentence stood out to me because usually a doctor would be enthusiastic to help people. The reason the doctor will not help is because he does not care to help anyone indian and because of that it makes him racist. Even when Kino was willing to pay he made an excuse to not help even though he was not doing anything important at the time. What do you think of the doctor was he being fair?

In The Pearl Kino tried to stop the scorpion from stinning the baby, but didn't make it in time. This symbolizes strength, because Kino tried to save the baby from something that could kill him. Kino also took the baby to the doctor, this symbolizes strength because everone was saying that the doctor wouldn't help them, but he still tried anyways. How would you symbolize strength.

The sentence that stood out to me is "Kino can see things without looking at them". This stood out to me because it makes me wonder if Kino got some superpowers or something or like does he have those "visions" like some people do. My favorite character in the book so far is Kino because to me he got some real guts to beat up a scorpion like you gotta be pretty brave to do that. Who is your favorite character?????

The sentence that stood out to me was"His people had once been great makers of songs so that everything they saw or thought or did or heard became a song"(2).this sentence stood out to me the most because almost everything they did becomes a song and to me that's amazing because I can't did that I can't make music out of anything.Can you make a song out of anything ?

The sentence where it says kino can see things without looking at them. It stands out because either it's super powers or he can like tell something's gonna happen before it does

The sentence where the doctor said "have i nothing better to do then cure insect bites for 'little indians' i am a doctor, not a veterinary!" This sentence stood out to be becuase it shows how rude the upper classman where to the more poor classman back then and even now. What do you think of the lower classman?

The sentence that most stood out to me was "Have I nothing better to do than cure insect bites for 'little Indians'? I am a doctor not a veterinary". It stood out most because i didn't think people talked so badly and did that mean of things to people in that time period. I assumed they would have been nicer for something in return. How do you think they act now?

There was one sentence in particular that stood out to me. ""The doctor would not come," Kino said to Juana. She looked up at him, her eyes as cold as the eyes of a lioness. This was Juana's first baby- this was nearly everything there was in Jusna's world. And Kino saw her determination and the music of the family sounded in his head with a steely tone. "Then we will go to him,"(7). This sentence stood out to me because Coyotito's parents really care about him and that relates to my life because my parents really care about me and my siblings. Did a sentence stand out to you?

In chapter one the sentence that stood out to me was when the doctor did not care the a baby of a diffrent race was bit by a bug! "have I nothing better to do then cure insect bites for " little Indians"? I'm a doctor not a veterinary." This sentence stood out to me because the doctur is saying that Junna,Kino and Coyotito are nothing more then animals and that they should not get that help! What do you think of the doctur?

There was a part about the scorpion and the baby and the baby got hurt by the scorpion and they had do go to the doctors and the doctor didnt care about the baby and he was mad that he had to keep on working for no money so he asked if they had any money and they pulled out a paper with pearls inside but someone gave them back because he had to go to a meeting

In The Pearl it shows how family is very important. Kino tried to stop the scorpion from stinging the baby, and even though it was too late and he didn't, it showed that he tried by using strength.

The sentence that stood out to me the most is when it says the servant shuts the gate quickly out of shame. Because he knows that the baby needs help but the doctor doesn't want to help unless they can pay.

The sentence that stood out to me is "kino can see things without looking at them" because it makes me think maybe kino got superpowers or knows something is going to happen before it does.
