In chapter 5 Kino sees Juana taking the pearl and going to the beach so he follows her. Just as she is about to thrw the pearl into the water he stops her, takes the pearl, and puches her and kicks her then leaves. On his way home people attack him, and take the pearl. He kills one of them and gets knocked unconscious. Juana finds the pearl on her way home and gives it to Kino. They decide to leave because to many people want the pearl. When they get home they see their house is on fire and since every one thinks they are dead they go hide in Juan Tomas house until Apolonia sees them and tells Juan Tomas. He helps them escape.

In chapter 6 Kino, Juana, Coyotito escape their home and start going north. They see trackers and hide. Kino says that if they go into the mountains they can distract them from their trail. When they get a good ways up they see the trackers have still followed them. Kino makes a new trail again to divert them. At night Kino sees an opportunity to help them and he tries to kill one of the trackers but then Coyotito cries. One of the trackers shoots in that direction and kills him. Kino stabs him then takes the rifle and kills them both. Juana comes down the hill with Coyotito’s body and they go back to town. They walk straight past everyone that is looking and to the ocean. They throw the pearl and watch the sunset where it sank.

The book is like an article we read in class that talked about unfortunate lottery winners. When Kino found the pearl he started to think so much of it and plan many things. That like the winners because they were doing so much when they didn’t even have the money. Kino had faced many problems because o the pearl like murder, arson and losing his own child. This is also like the lottery winners because they lost so many things because of money like friends, family and even houses by not being carefeul with what they had.
