Last class session, back to "Silent Reading." As I read this novel, as you can see up top, it seem as though this book was about gods. And what do you know, it pretty much was about gods, at least half. In this book, there is one man named, Kino. Kino is a very respectful man, who is in fact, half god. One day, he went diving, to try and find some pearls to sell for the condition of his son. His son got poisoned by a scorpions sting. As he went diving to find pearls, an amazing thing happened. He found the "Pearl of the world." I thought that the finding of that pearl would bring his family wealth, but instead, it brought evil among their family. It actually led from a poisoned son, to a murdered child. In the end, Kino threw the pearl back into the ocean, to where it belongs.
