Gorgeous flow of liquid gold, smashing into another flock of golds
Rushing down to the end of the world, fast as chitah
I can hear them singing out loud, it washes dirt on the rocks as it flow
I can't see the end of the fall, seems as though it would go forever

pearl reflection
“If this story is a parable, everyone takes his own meaning from it, and reads his own life into it…” was a basic interpretation quote the author gave us at the beginning of the story, I noticed that this was author’s little message towards to tell us that, we should take some meaning for ourselves along we read it. Therefore I was keen to read some significant message throughout the story and take my own meaning reflecting back on this ‘Pearl’.
As the story began, I thought it was quite optimistic atmosphere on people’s attitude, however as I read along, it began to reveal its moody feeling into it, the tone clearly showed what author was trying to tell the audience. As it goes through characters are slowly ruined by their lack of circumstance background they have. It gives an example how would people will be if we’re in that kind of position in our lives.
In the story, it clearly shows the matter of wealth which the characters inside faces, I looked carefully at Juana and I found out that she was very sensed brave, because she chose her family to lose everything instead of only possession she had, the pearl. I know it’s nothing for some people nowadays, however back then and especially to the family like Kino’s, their life depends on that one thing.
I think that author used the pearl to illustrate and reveal real love of character, to help us to contrast with ourselves if we were in that situation.
After reading this book I found that there were a lot of connections between one of the characters inside, such as Coyotito because he tried to earn more money by selling the pearl for good price, which refers me back and reminds me of the time I thought the same way he did.
Therefore this meant later on, this book gave me a moral message that it connected with my life with the various of events happened inside the book together, I knew what the author was saying at the beginning, and what he told the parable was about that taking my own meaning from the novel.
