Forgiveness, one of the most concentrated aspects of this novel. The Author intended each character to have a specific ‘thing’ they needed to find forgiveness over.

“Recalled to life”, a phrase used in the beginning of the book by Jarvis Lorry, foreshadows the events that happen later in the book, signifying the resurrection in many ways.

Thus, it can be concluded that the theme of this book is resurrection.

Mary Lee Johnston, the mother of Precious, is an abusive woman who despises Precious for “stealing her man.” She weighs over 300 pounds and rarely leaves the house. Her “arms seem like giant arms” and “her legs which she always got cocked open seem like ugly tree logs.” She never tried to stop Carl, her sadistic boyfriend, from abusing Precious. She never encourages Precious to do anything with her life by telling her that “school can’t help you none.” Mary defrauds the welfare system without guilt and fails to provide care to Precious in any way.

Forgive and forget - the motto that is ingrained in all of us from childhood, teaching us to be more compassionate and understanding, and ultimately developing us into better people, right? Perhaps not. While forgiveness is undoubtedly an important trait that enables people to overcome conflicts, where do we draw the line? There are no concrete or established rules on what the acceptable number of times to forgive someone or something is, so how can we define what is too much forgiveness? When does forgiveness go from a sign of your maturity, compassion, and strength, to a sign of your subservience and weakness? How can we be forgiving and thoughtful, without jeopardizing our own self-worth? These are all questions that arise in the memoir

There are many great plays that have been written throughout our history. Many of them are very specific in what it is trying to say. One of the most famous plays written is The Crucible by Arthur Miller. The Crucible is a play that is based off of the Salem Witch Trials that took place in the late 1600s. During this time period, many innocent people were accused of witchcraft. This was due to the people’s lack of knowledge on how our universe works. Arthur Miler uses many different motifs in his play, but one of the most significant motifs is vengeance. In The Crucible, Arthur Miller presents the idea that vengeance is used to corrupt the minds of the community’s people.

People today can hardly imagine the stigma which once surrounded illegitimate children and the life that they once lived in times that were not as accepting as now. Puritan times were not a safe place for illegitimate. Most were outcasts their entire lives, shunned from society. Many were chastised because of mistakes made before they came. All suffered because of the horrible stigma which surrounded them.

I believe that is because Kino thinks that the pearl is worth a lot of money. Therefore, even if Kino had an evil feeling and bad things were happening to him, he still kept moving forward. For example, Steinbeck quotes: “Her arm was up to throw when he leaped at her and caught her arm and wrenched the pearl from her. He struck her in the face with his clenched fist and she fell among the boulders, and he kicked her in the side.” (Steinbeck, 59). This quote is related to my thesis statement because Kino is trying to stop Juana from throwing the pearl away in order to move

However, Kino was enraged with anger at Juana for trying to throw away his pearl. The pearl had changed him for the worse, it had become part of him he loved the pearl. Kino would do anything to make sure that nothing would happen to it, even if it meant beating up his wife in order to save his pearl.

In chapter 5 Juana tries to throw the pearl in the ocean and Kino reacted violently, according to the text “He struck her in the face with a clenched fist and she fell among the boulders, and he kicked her in the side.” (59 Steinbeck). By analyzing the text I can infer that Kino cares about Juana less than he did in the beginning of the story because of how he struck her to stop her from throwing the pearl, instead of stopping her in a more gentle manor. I also believe that Kino is more violent and has more rage because he struck Juana again with his foot when she fell to the ground. Overall I think the pearl had very negative effects on Kino and corrupted him with

Money, Education, and Equality are major oppressions Kino and the town faced. Kino has experienced a lot in his life, but only one thing has kept him from losing his mind, his family. His family is why he is fighting for the pearl and why he needs it to survive. He feels various emotions throughout the book but he always goes back to why he is doing all the pain and suffering in the first place, his family. Kino is an honest man with good intentions to help his family's needs over his own needs. With or without all the problems Kino faced, he still would chose his family in the
