the Pearl

The Pearl

Definition of parable is a short allegorical story designed to illustrate or teach some truth, religious principle, or moral lesson. The parable of 'The Pearl' is money can not be satisfaction for us al l the time. I thought the author compared the doctor as our society these days. I also felt that author wanted to tell us how to be happy even with lots of money or wealth.

After I read this story, I realized that money can harm us. For example, in this story, Kino brought the pearl and every bad situations happened to his family. Because of that little amount of money it hurt many people around Kino.

I noticed that the author wants us to understand the true meaning of money, and I think he was trying to persuade people to use money on good things.
