The Music of the Pearl

I think that when the book "the Pearl" said that the music of the pearl disappeared, it symbolized that the pearl was finally gone. That it will never come back. That the evil is now gone because the pearl is gone. Bad things will stop in Kino's family's life. Though now kino might be thought of as the normal poor person in his community and his community might not think of him and his family being rich anymore. Things will hopefully go back to normal. But at least the pearl is no longer really needed any ways because Coyotito isn't there.

I think that you did a very good job of mentioning the effect of the pearl on Kino's family. Also, you described the pearl's symbolism in the society in which Kino lives excellently. You possibly could have elaborated more on what the pearl itself represents, such as hope, opportunity, evil, greed. And I don't think thst you really included the repeated symbolic motif of music, but in my opinion that doesn't matter so... gOoD JoB lUkE!
