chapter 5 response

I think the author want to talk more about the pearl's bad things. Kino and Juana want to find the method to escape to another place with pearl and they don't want any bad things to happen again. From the previous chapter, we can see that when the pearl is in Kino's hand, the bad things are coming quickly. Such as Kino fights with other people, the house is burned, or the canoe has the hole that make water in. I think those things happen because of the pearl's appearance. If Kino lives without the pearl, he will have a better and peaceful life.
