Leaving the Town“Kino threaded his way around the edge of the city and turned north, north by the stars, and found the rutted sandy road that led through the brushy country towards Loreto, where the miraculous Virgin has her station.”

They begin with hope “Some ancient thing stirred in Kino.
Through his fear of dark and the devils that haunt the night, there came a rush of exhilaration; some animal thing was moving in him so that he was cautious and wary and dangerous; some ancient thing out of the past of his people was alive in him.”
![Page 8: The Pearl Ch. 6](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/568165dd550346895dd8f7c5/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
A mirror of Ch. 1 “The music of the pearl was triumphant in
Kino's head, and the quiet melody of the family underlay it, and they wove themselves into the soft padding of sandalled feet in the dust.”
“He watched the ants moving, a little column of them near to his foot, and he put his foot in their path. Then the column climbed over his instep and continued on its way, and Kino left his foot there and watched them move over it.”

And Juana said: "Perhaps the dealers were right and the pearl has no value. Perhaps this has all been an illusion.”
Kino reached into his clothes and brought out the pearl. He let the sun play on it until it burned in his eyes. "No," he said, "they would not have tried to steal it if it had been valueless."

Reflections in the Pearl
Kino names his dreams
The pearl shows the reality
![Page 11: The Pearl Ch. 6](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/568165dd550346895dd8f7c5/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Trackers “And then he saw them moving along. His body
stiffened and he drew down his head and peeked out from under a fallen branch. In the distance he could see three figures, two on foot and one on horseback. But he knew what they were, and a chill of fear went through him.”
![Page 12: The Pearl Ch. 6](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/568165dd550346895dd8f7c5/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
They were as sensitive as hounds.
![Page 13: The Pearl Ch. 6](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/568165dd550346895dd8f7c5/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
“If the trackers found the swept place, he must leap for the horseman, kill him quickly and take the rifle. That was his only chance in the world.”
“… he heard the creak of leather of the saddle and the clink of spurs.”
![Page 14: The Pearl Ch. 6](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/568165dd550346895dd8f7c5/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Giving Up
And then a helplessness and a hopelessness swept over him, and his face went black and his eyes were sad. "Perhaps I should let them take me."

Juana Gives Kino StrengthRemember …Ch. 1: “The iron in his wife”Ch. 2: “But Juana's eyes were on him
and she could not wait. … "Open it," she said softly.
Ch. 3: “… they were in some way one thing and one purpose, she smiled with him.”
![Page 16: The Pearl Ch. 6](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/568165dd550346895dd8f7c5/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Ch. 4: “He felt a little tugging at his back, and he turned and looked in Juana's eyes, and when he looked away he had renewed strength.”
![Page 17: The Pearl Ch. 6](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/568165dd550346895dd8f7c5/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Ch. 5: Juana quieted him as she would quiet a sick child. "Hush," she said. "Here is your pearl. I found it in the path. Can you hear me now? Here is your pearl. Can you understand? You have killed a man. We must go away. They will come for us, can you understand? We must be gone before the daylight comes.”
![Page 18: The Pearl Ch. 6](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/568165dd550346895dd8f7c5/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
"Do you think that will matter? Do you remember the men of the city? Do you think your explanation will help?”
Kino drew a great breath and fought off his weakness. "No," he said. "You are right." And his will hardened and he was a man again.
![Page 19: The Pearl Ch. 6](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/568165dd550346895dd8f7c5/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Remember Juana’s Purpose:
“Sometimes the quality of woman, the reason, the caution, the sense of preservation, could cut through Kino's manness and save them all.”
![Page 20: The Pearl Ch. 6](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/568165dd550346895dd8f7c5/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
They run into the hills
![Page 21: The Pearl Ch. 6](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/568165dd550346895dd8f7c5/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Confrontation “I will go on and you will hide.” “I can go faster alone.” “You must. It is the wise thing and it is
my wish.”
Three times Juana says “No.”
![Page 22: The Pearl Ch. 6](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/568165dd550346895dd8f7c5/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
“He shrugged his shoulders helplessly then, but he had taken strength from her. When they moved on it was no longer panic flight.”
![Page 23: The Pearl Ch. 6](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/568165dd550346895dd8f7c5/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
The animals from miles around came to drink

The Waterfall
![Page 26: The Pearl Ch. 6](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/568165dd550346895dd8f7c5/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
…little palms, maidenhair fern, hibiscus, and tall pampas grass …
![Page 27: The Pearl Ch. 6](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/568165dd550346895dd8f7c5/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
The cats took their prey there
![Page 28: The Pearl Ch. 6](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/568165dd550346895dd8f7c5/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
“The cats took their prey there …”“The little pools were places of
life because of the water, and places of killing because of the water, too.”
(Is this like the pearl?)
![Page 29: The Pearl Ch. 6](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/568165dd550346895dd8f7c5/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
They find a cave
“The trackers were long in coming, as though they had trouble with the trail Kino had left.”
![Page 30: The Pearl Ch. 6](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/568165dd550346895dd8f7c5/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Kino’s Plan
He will attack“There is no choice," he
said. "It is the only way.”Juana approves
![Page 31: The Pearl Ch. 6](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/568165dd550346895dd8f7c5/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
All goes well for Kino … But …
“And then from above came a little murmuring cry.”
![Page 32: The Pearl Ch. 6](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/568165dd550346895dd8f7c5/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
The trackers think it’s a coyote
Coyotito = Coyote
![Page 33: The Pearl Ch. 6](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/568165dd550346895dd8f7c5/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
… and raise a rifle to shoot.
![Page 34: The Pearl Ch. 6](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/568165dd550346895dd8f7c5/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Kino attacks all three, and wins
![Page 35: The Pearl Ch. 6](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/568165dd550346895dd8f7c5/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
The sun was behind them and their long shadows stalked ahead, and they seemed
to carry two towers of darkness with them.
![Page 36: The Pearl Ch. 6](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/568165dd550346895dd8f7c5/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Kino has his rifle
![Page 37: The Pearl Ch. 6](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/568165dd550346895dd8f7c5/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
“And the pearl was ugly; it was gray, like a malignant growth. And Kino heard the music of the pearl, distorted and insane.”
![Page 38: The Pearl Ch. 6](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/568165dd550346895dd8f7c5/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
In nature, the pearl is beautiful again“And the pearl
settled into the lovely green water and dropped towards the bottom.
![Page 39: The Pearl Ch. 6](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/568165dd550346895dd8f7c5/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
“…The waving branches of the algae called to it and beckoned to it. The lights
on its surface were green and lovely.
![Page 40: The Pearl Ch. 6](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/568165dd550346895dd8f7c5/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
“… It settled down to the sand bottom among the fern-like plants. Above, the surface of the
water was a green mirror.”
![Page 41: The Pearl Ch. 6](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062310/568165dd550346895dd8f7c5/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
And the music of the pearl dies out.
