   What I have learned about John steinbeck was that he was a excellent writer. He put everything he knew into his writing that made him a better writer and a better person. He went to New York to become a free-lance writer and failed so he went to california,a nd wrote a short storie of Tortilla Flat. That made Steinbeck a famous writer, that showed me that he never gave up and told to himself and everyone that he loved writing. I ahve learned about steinbeck that you should never give up, also use your experiences in your writing of how to you love it and how you can relate to it. Also I have learned that John steinbeck was a man who wrote from the heart and had excellent expressions. That you can visualize in your head of the characters, and the setting.
 
John Steinbeck should I listen to his voice? why? I think that I should listen to John Syeinbeck'c voice, because he uses words in his perspective that influences his life. Also Steinbeck writes about himslef what he really is as a person. When you hear about someone win the nobel prize for literature that tells me that they had some kind of excellence in writing. Things about John Steinbeck that I like was how he went to New York to become a free-lance writer. Then he returned to california, he took odd jobs and while he was a watchman of the house he wrote his first book of Cup of Gold. He was expierenced in the world of how things worked. John was one of those who didn't set out to be such a great writer, he wanted to write but he didn't set out to be such known. When John Steinbeck wrote Mice and Men was a very good story because of how Steinbeck wrote it, his purpose was great. He wrote Mice and Men because it was about the two sides of him as a person, and by him doing that that became a great success.Steinbeck to me is known for his hard work he put into and he was a man who saw in peoples struggles and pain and he could connect that with his writing. So yes I truly think that John Steinbeck that I should listen to his voice, he has put great influence on me with his words and his life.

                 What I had learned from The Pearl?
 
               What I had learned from the book the pearl was that you should always not be greedy and odsessed. I learned how a loving family can be torn apart because of people actions. By the theme of the story of Kino showed me that he was a man that loved his family first. Then when he found the pearl he became obsessed with it, that blineded his wisdom of throwing the pearl. I have learned that the pearl was wrote for showing the authors description and the plot was amazing. From reading this the pearl showed me to become a better writer and to be thankful of what you have. Also how easily you can be turned into a different person by not listening of whats right.
 
The pearl novel was about a man named Kino who was a harding working man who supported his family, by fishing for pearls and making money on them. When Kino was fishing and found a pearl that changed his life and everyone who loved him. This pearl was the pearl to the world, that had some powers that could see into the furture also powers that would make your life misserable. Juana was the mother of Kino and thier child coyotito. Juana was a wise woman who when she saw something not right she would go and deal with it. Her influence on Kino was great she wanted to throw the pearl becuase of the evil in it, but Kino should of listened. Coytito was the baby of Kino and Juana coytito got stung by a scorpian and had to have the posion out before he could die. At the end of this nevella coytito dies by getting his head shot off. The themes of this novel was obsession because of Kino being obsessed with the pearl, beauty was the pearl how beautiful it was to look into. Greed is a main part of thid story by people wanting the pearl by trying to kill Kino to get it.
