  2. The role of the family shows how material things such as money and ambition can change somebody and their life. Kino and his family had to go thru with these problems and this is what is shown in the novel, that we have to be the same person with or without materialistic things because in the end all that matters is our happiness and our own well being.

  15. The role of this family in the novel is that the only thing that it was interested in was money. Since the material does not lead to anything. Thanks to all this all ended in tragedies. Kino's life cost him his son and he died. One of the most important things in life is the family money as well as saw Kino.

  16. In 'The Pearl' Kino, Juana and Coyotito are a typically poor, hardworking mexican family. Steinbeck uses the discovery and finding of the pearl a symbol of fate. The question of how the arrival and tentations of unexpected riches affect the lives of the poor family and how the role of parenthood is challenged by this fate is, I think, the main subject of this short novel.

  22. The role that family played in The Pearl is greed. Greed was so strong that it led to the death of Coyotito and also it drove Kino to beat up his wife. This should never happen in a family.

  24. The family shows that materialism and money can blind you with obssesion, making you see that what you can have can bring you more happiness than what a family can bring to your life. In the story Juana's and Kino's life was destroyed by the pearl. At the end the pearl was worth nothing. Money could not bring back they're now dead son.

  25. The role of family in the Pearl shows the ambition that a person can have because of money. Money and material things can change a person's attitude. Ambition makes us destroy ourselves. In the Pearl as a family they were destroyed by ambition and interest. The money never compare with the love of a family. By ambition they lost many things in the end was worth much more than just a pearl that only brought destruction.

  30. The role of the family in The Pearl shows how material things & ambition can change a good family. Money can give us temporary things that can make us happy in some certain moment, but love & union in the family can bridge every problem that people confront. Because of their ambition they lost their most precious thing that was their son Coyotito.

  31. The family's role in this novel is very significant and important because it show us how ambition and material things can change the way of being, acting and thinking of a person, such as the example of Kino when he found the pearl. This family that is shown to us in the novel is a beautiful and close family in where we can finally observe that material things isn't all in life because all we need is the love and affection of our family to achieve everything we want. At the end Kino learned that the value of the pearl could never replace what he lost, his only son, Coyotito.

  32. The role of the family at the beginning of the story was of happiness because the pearl could solve the problems of poverty they had, like to give a good education to Coyotito. Over time the pearl only brought disgrace to the family, because Kino had to kill to preserve the pearl, Coyotito dies and the separation of his wife and all for a role of ambition.

  34. The role of the family is to show is that of ambition and greediness. Kino was the one who destroy his family and that cost him his son's life. The only though about all the material things the pearl could bring. and remember the money never compare with the love of a family.

  35. The family in this novel portrays the desire, the longing for material matter. We see that Juana prays for a pearl with which to pay the doctor to heal Coyotito, instead of praying for the well-being of her firstborn. We also see how violent Kino became because of the pearl. We visualize the dominance this thing has over him and how it affects him and the people he loves. We notice how askew a family may become with greed.

  36. In my perspective, the family reflects the greed people develop over material objects. The family also represents how a material item can overcome someone and change them completely, that was proven with Kino. Kino, who became violent, something he wasn't and wasn't suspected to be such person. Coyotito, i think, reflects the image of how a child, or inferior being in the family, can suffer concecuences when the parents, or superior beings, focus on the material things. Money definitely can't buy happiness.

  37. In "The Pearl" the family polays the role of love, protectiveness and determination. The family was very determined for Coyotito's recovery. They went through a lot to cure and save Coyotito's life, but did not achieve. They can symbolize faith. Because they sacrificed many things in order for their only son's health.

  39. We can see in the novel that kino's life changed after finding the pearl. He killed a man, he hit his wife, and he didn't trust anyone only because a pearl with great value to everyone around him and his family. The role that the family play in the novel is one of unhappiness because the materialism and the ambition of money and power. We can see that the obsession of money changed a happy family to a almost broken family, like in the pearl that the main characters kino, Juana and coyotito that were a poor but happy family became a unhappy family and at the end they were still poor.

  45. In my opinion the image of the family in this novel stands out much. Because kino focus for a moment both materially and money sencibilidad lost the feeling of listening to his wife who was watching and consecuecias reality and the problems the family was bringing the pearl. But especially at the end the most valuable lost his only son. The family is under no circumstances pressures that we must change or whim or forgotten.

    ResponderEliminar
  46. The family play a not so important role in the story because everyone is obssesed with the pearl and kino was focused just in be with his family putting the pearls safety first. He was so focused on the pearl that Coyotito got killed because of it. The family do not Play the role that is suposed to play. All because of the pearl.

  58. The role of the family in the story of “The pearl” is ambition for money and materlialism. Those things were supposed to help them to get out of their problems but end bringing more... This shows how money changes people, at the beginning, Kino’s purpose was to cure his son but then he turned ambitious and changed his personality. This shows us that money is not everything in life and that there are more important things that money can’t buy such as life and family. Kino looses his son because of his ambition, he didn’t heard Juana when she told him that the pearl would bring more problems than solutions, he understood the importance of everything else than money when he noticed that money destroyed their lives.
