The Pearl....

Tomorrow exam got come out a story call the pearl.. I write something thing here to memories and for fun.. I write about character of the novel... this is not my essay la... my teacher write liao wan.. I jus copy down and plus to memory it nia... lazy to read nia... move my hand and my eyes.. feel more comfortable....
There are many qualities that can make a character a hero. As for me a hero should be someone who is brave, respected, decisive, responsible, kind, helpful and tolerant.
Through the pearl has many character, I think the most hero of the character is Kino. This is because Kino demonstrates many good values such as courage, sensitivity, responsible, and strength. He is also one of the main character in the story because the story deals with the events in his life.
Kino is a poor Mexican fisherman of native Indian descent. He is young and strong. He is also very sensitive and emotional person. This shown by the fact that everything he sees, does or feels is represented by a song in his mind. He and his family live in a small brush house close to the sea near the town of La Paz.
Kino’s main intention is to provide his family the best things in life. He works very hard towards this purpose but life, as a fisherman , does not allow him any opportunity to become rich. That why Kino always dreams of finding a pearl that could sell for a lot of money.
Kino show a lot of responsibility and love his family. He gets really upset when people do not read his family well. When the doctor refuses to treat Coyotito’s scorpion sing Kino, he gets angry and punches the pillar, hurting his hand. He is always protective of them. This is demonstrate in the novel many times when the family is in danger. For example Kino pressed the scorpion between his hands and beat and stamped it to the ground after the scorpion stung Coyotito.
On many occasion, he puts his life at risk while doing this. Even on the night Coyotito dies, Kino was risking his life to save his family.
I like this character because he is presented as a complete character. He is strong but sensitive and he displays the emotions of a real human being. Kino is a good husband father and brother. On many occasion, he fights of the attackers who wish to harm him and his family in order to steal the pearl.
He also show that he is responsible husband and father by working hard to take care of his family.
