The Pearl Chapter 2 Analysis

Chapter 4 of Jones’ William Clark… starts with Lt. William Clark being ordered to see the commander of the military forces in Spanish Louisiana regarding the construction of a Spanish military base on a US-controlled area of the Mississippi. Clark’s meeting with the regional governor provided Clark with the opportunity to gather information on Spanish military assets in the area, info he disclosed to his chain of command upon his successful return. Shortly after this successful mission, Clark resigned his commission and returned home to assist his brother George Rogers with settling the latter’s legal issues and help his father manage the Clark family plantation. Getting the plantation’s crop to market, Jones writes, forced Clark into a long, bad weather-threatened trip down the Mississippi. Clark’s return home on the ship Star was equally as arduous, as he had to contend with hostile

In the book, “Into the Wild” by Jon Krakauer. Chapter 10 tells us the body of Chris McCandless was found and for a week they still had not been able to identify the body. On September 10th, the story of a dead hiker was published in the Anchorage Daily News. Jim Gallien saw the article and called the State Troopers and said, “Hey, I think I gave that guy a ride.”(99) At first the trooper did not believe Jim, because there have been already a number of people who said they knew the hikers identity. Jim kept talking to the trooper and described a few items that was not mentioned in the newspaper. Ultimately, what convinced the trooper about Jim’s claim was an entry in Chris’s journal that said, “Exit Fairbanks. Sitting Gallien. Rabbit Day” (99).

In chapter twelve we see once again Ender’s instinct to win for all time during a battle. Even with the odds stacked against him, Ender defeated Bonzo’s army.

October 4th, 1957, a russian made object is launched into space. This was the first thing ever sent into space by mankind. This event could not have come at a worse time in history. It occurred in the middle of the Cold War between primarily the United States of America and Soviet Union, but really between all capitalist and communist governments around the world. If this feat had been accomplished outside the time period of this feud or by a neutral country it would have been celebrated worldwide.

Parenting is one of the most important aspects of life. It can make or break a child. Parents can range from violently protective to parents who value teaching their children life lessons early. Differences in parenting styles are demonstrated in the novels The Pearl and To Kill a Mockingbird. In The Pearl, Kino (The Main Character) protects his baby Coyotito in a violent fashion throughout the book. In addition, Kino deals with self-control troubles in The Pearl, so he finds it hard to manage himself when caring for Coyotito. In spite of that, Atticus, the father in To Kill a Mockingbird represents a more calm parent who stresses lesson learning early on. During the course of the plot, Atticus experiences events in his town that affect him positively and negatively, but he uses almost all events that affect him as teaching moments to his children. Although Kino and Atticus both vie to protect their children, they have very different styles of parenting.

After Hester is released from prison Hawthorne leaves us wondering if her choice to stay in Boston was even a choice she could make. Chapter five opens with Hester coming into the light and leaving the cell in which she had been punished in for so long. However, once she is out, she decides to stay in Massachusetts, in the same community which has shamed her for so long. Hawthorne describes the decision when he writes, “it may seem marvelous, that this woman should still call that place her home… But there is a fatality… which almost invariably compels human beings to linger … the spot where some great and marked event has given the color to their lifetime” (71). In this quote Hawthorne is not only speaking of Hester, he is speaking of

As the novel progresses in chapter 12 Calpurnia calls Jem or Mister Jem as a sign of respect,Cal understands that Jem is twelve and is beginning to understand the adult world.Jem begins to retreat from the childish games that he and Scout used to enjoy, becoming moodier and more withdrawn. Jem’s intense admiration for his father combined with his strong belief in justice.

The theme of The Pearl by John Steinbeck is oppression can be concealed or straightforward, regardless it always impacts the receiver. One event that demonstrates this theme is when the priest makes the sermon. It says, “And the Father made it clear that each man and woman is like a soldier sent by God… But each one must remain faithful to his post and must not go running about, else the castle is in danger from the assaults of Hell.” (pg. 46). This shows theme because the priest is explaining that Kino’s people are unable to move out of their social class without consequences. This type of oppression is concealed as the priest doesn’t directly state that Kino and his people must remain in their class. He is using his religious power to voice

One of the most significant allegories in Chapters 1 & 2 of the parable The Pearl by John Steinbeck becomes apparent when Kino dives beneath the waters, in search of pearls that he could use to pay a doctor to cure his child of a possibly deadly scorpion sting. Kino mentions that pearls are found by pure chance, and that they are “ … accidents, and the finding of one was luck, a little pat on the back by God or the gods or both” (Steinbeck 9). This last section, where he mentions the “God or gods or both” is very important. This section subtly alludes to the mixed cultural history of the natives mentioned in The Pearl: they come from a culture in which people believe in multiple gods but have been governed for centuries by their conquerors

In the novel, The Pearl, by John Steinbeck, the characters are motivated to do things which reflect on their actions. In the novel we see how the want for power and a better future drives Kino throughout the story. Near the beginning of the novel, Coyotito is bitten by a scorpion, but the doctor refuses to treat him because Kino cannot pay him. This leads Kino to search for a pearl to pay for the expenses. He finds a large pearl which the community calls “The Pearl of the World” which he thinks can help him gain power. In the novel it states, “‘My [Kino’s] son will read and open books, and my son will write and will know writing. And my son will make numbers, and these things will make us free because he will know… This is what the pearl will do,’” (31;

Out of all the amazing things I saw in the Pearls on a String, the one that I found the most interesting was Akbar and ‘Abd al-Rahim, from the Akabarmana (Book of Akabr, 1586-1589). It is amazing to see how many different scenes can all occur in one piece. Overall, The Book of Akbar had multiple outstanding pieces but the emotion in this particular page is what caught my attention. Although I did not study the other pages as intensely as this one, it is clear to see that Abul Fazlt’s technique is spectacular throughout each and every page.
