March 26th, entry eight: I think that my strength in this paper is the organization of the body paragraphs. I think that my weakness is writing the introduction and conclusion paragraphs of the research paper.
 * __Research__ __Reflections__**

March 8th, Entry seven: Im researching John Ernst Steinbeck. I think that my paper wont be as good as other peoples and that the paper is going to be very hard to write it the way it should be. The most difficult part of this project is writing the four page paper rough draft and making sure to cite my work. The easiest thing for me was finding the information that was need so i can write my research paper.

February 15th, Entry four: The main characters are Kino, Juana, Coyotito. Kino is the father of Coyotito and the husband of Juana. Kino is a young and strong and his black hair hung over his brown forehead. His eyes were warm and fierce and bright and his mustache was thin and coarse. Juana has black hair and dark eyes. This book is about a man named Kino diving into the Gulf beds and finding a pearl as perfect as the moon. Kino hopes to use the pearl for his dreams and hopes but the pearl also corrupts and deceives the towns people because they want it for themselves so they can have their dreams come true.

 * Summary:**

I give this book a rating of 2.5. The Pearl is a good book but gets kind of boring witch makes it hard to keep reading the book.
 * Rating:**

January 27th, entry three: In my book The Pearl, Kino has found the pearl and brought it back with him to show his wife, Juana. There is a rumor spreading around the village very quickly about how Kino finding a pearl. All the villagers want the pearl so they can make their wishes come true and be rich. The doctor is telling people that Kino's baby is his patient and I think that the doctor will try and get the pearl for treating the baby. While everyone in the village is thinking of themselves Kino and Juana are hoping that the villagers will be happy for them. Kino and Juana have no idea that the villagers might turn on them and try to take the pearl for themselves. I think that there will be people trying to take the pearl as they try to get to the doctors to save their baby, Coyotito.

Kino hears music in his head and lays with his eyes closed listening to it. Kino got up and made a fire while Juana got the baby out of the hammock. Their baby Coyotito gets stung by a scorpion on his shoulder. Juana tried to suck the poison from Coyotito. They tried to get the doctor to come to them but he wouldn't so they decided to go to the doctor and the gate took awhile to open to let Kino and his wife in.
 * The Hunt for a Pearl**,

January 13th, entry one: For his project I have chosen to read __The Pearl__ By John Steinbeck. I predict that the Kino is going to dive down to retrieve a pearl and something will go wrong before he is able to bring the pearl back up from the bottom of the Gulf beds. I also think that Kino thinks the pearl with make all his hopes and dreams come true. I believe that instead of retrieving the pearl an accident will happen and Kino will be badly injured. I believe the pearl will change Kino will think differently after he has the egg. This book sounds like it will be a good book to read and enjoy for this class.
