who know all the characters In spite of its simplicity; however, there are several levels to enjoy
in THE PEARL
Some critics have pointed out that the author showed his great respect for the natural environment, and that this book was really his statement about the dangers of creating serious damage to it When the fisherman throws the pearl back into the sea, he is doing something useful in his effort to prevent the habitat destruction In fact, Steinbeck was a member of an expedition to explore marine life along the coast of California when he heard the story of the
