In brief, Kino kills an attacker who springs on him at night in an attempt to steal the pearl, and has done so in self-defense. Later, he and Juana and their child Coyotito are on the run from thieves who were tracking them to steal the pearl. He attacks them when they fire on the place where Juana and Coyotitio were hiding. Coyotito is killed, and Kino kills all those who were in pursuit of him to kill him and his family and steal the pearl.

For some odd reason this is not stated directly in the story. It is assumed he is a preschool child, but no age is given. The name literally means Little Coyote. The howl of the wolf or wolf-like animal on the Western Frontier was often held to have ghostly auguries- someone was about to or had just died. It is similar to the superstitions about Comets, Meteors, and falling stars. Somewhat oddly- precious stones such as Diamonds and Star Sapphires were believed to have fallen from celestial objects, this is not geneally speaking true, but many Diamonds are styled- Star of, say Italy ( that"s a blue teardrop by the way) oh well don:t give up Hope.

Kino shot Coyotito but the hunters pushed the gun's aim to the wrong angle so it was partially the hunters' fault.

Which best describes how Coyotito dies in The Pearl?

In the novella, The Pearl, Coyotito is shot by those who are tracking his father. The baby whines, and the trackers mistake him for a coyote. One tracker fires in the direction of the sound in order to stop the whinning. The shot finds Coyotito's head and the baby is killed.


In John Stienbeck the Pearl the doctor gave coyotito a mixture of water and ammonia?

I believe the pill he gave the child (the one with powder wrapped in gelatin) was an acid, which caused an imbalance in Coyotito's body and made him throw up. The Dr. then gave Coyotito ammonia, which is a base, and helped stabilize Coyotito's stomach.


The pearl-why doesnt juana alert kino when coyotito is stung?

Kino was the one racing to save Coyotito from getting stung, Juana was there to, so she would know as well as Kino. Coyotito tried playing with the rope and the scorpion while Kino slowly walked there so he wouldn't sting anybody. When Coyotito hit the rope to play, the scorpion stung him and Kino then squished it on the ground. Juana took care of Coyotito after the sting. Coyotito didn't see the danger in the scorpion and that is why he tried hitting it.


What are examples of irony in the pearl by John Steinbeck?

-SAME AS #3 (at the end, the trackers think Coyotito's cry is a coyote and it is situational irony)-the pearl was to be sold to give Coyotito a future, but it ended up killing him and it is situational irony-SAME AS #1 (the trackers don't know that the cry is coming from Coyotito, not a coyote and this is dramatic irony)


What happens to coyotito in Chapter 1 of the pearl?

coyotito dies, yet the reason how is unclear. Most people think it was a tracker, who shot the gun towards the cave to silence the 'baby coyote' whining in the cave. Yet no one reads in between the lines. When one of the trackers tries to get away from kino, he starts climbing up the cave, Kino shoots at him, misses, then kills the tracker. So Kino could have just as well killed his son. Your welcome.


What happen in the end of The Pearl.. The Pearl Is A Book?

Kino kills the trackers who are following him and his family. But right before he attacked them, one of the trackers shot Coyotito in the head. This is because Coyotito made a noise that sounded like a coyote pup and he started shooting. Kino and Juana, carrying Coyotito's body on her back, go back to La Paz, their village. Everyone gathers around to watch as Kino throws the pearl back into the ocean, ending the greed associated with it.


What differences from the movie and the book about the pearl?

In the book by John Steinbeck "The Pearl", the baby was named Coyotito. In the film his name was pronounced Juanito.

What is rising action of story 'the pearl'?

The Pearl, which takes place in La Paz, Mexico, begins with a description of the seemingly idyllic family life of Kino, his wife Juana and their infant son, Coyotito. Kino watches as Coyotito sleeps, but sees a scorpion crawl down the rope that holds the hanging box where Coyotito lies. Kino attempts to catch the scorpion, but Coyotito bumps the rope and the scorpion falls on him. Although Kino kills the scorpion, it still stings Coyotito. Juana and Kino, accompanied by their neighbors, go to see the local doctor, who refuses to treat Coyotito because Kino cannot pay. Kino and Juana leave the doctors and take Coyotito down near the sea, where Juana uses a seaweed poultice on Coyotito's shoulder, which is now swollen. Kino dives for oysters from his canoe, attempting to find pearls. He finds a very large oyster which, when Kino opens it, yields an immense pearl. Kino puts back his head and howls, causing the other pearl divers to look up and race toward Kino's canoe. The news that Kino has found an immense pearl travels fast through La Paz. The doctor who refused to treat Coyotito decides to visit Kino. Kino's neighbors begin to feel bitter toward him for his good fortune, but neither Kino nor Juana realize this feeling they have engendered. Juan Tomas, the brother of Kino, asks him what he will do with his money, and he envisions getting married to Juana in a church and dressing Coyotito in a yachting cap and sailor suit. He claims that he will send Coyotito to school and buy a rifle for himself. The local priest visits and tells Kino to remember to give thanks and to pray for guidance. The doctor also visits, and although Coyotito seems to be healing, the doctor insists that Coyotito still faces danger and treats him. Kino tells the doctor that he will pay him once he sells his pearl, and the doctor attempts to discern where the pearl is located (Kino has buried it in the corner of his hut). That night, a thief attempts to break into Kino's hut, but Kino drives him away. Juana tells Kino that the pearl will destroy them, but Kino insists that the pearl is their one chance and that tomorrow they will sell it. Kino's neighbors wonder what they would do if they had found the pearl, and suggest giving it as a present to the Pope, buying Masses for the souls of his family, and distributing it among the poor of La Paz. Kino goes to sell his pearl, accompanied by his neighbors, but the pearl dealer only offers a thousand pesos when Kino believes that he deserves fifty thousand. Although other dealers inspect the pearl and give similar prices, Kino refuses their offer and decides to go to the capital to sell it there. That night, Kino is attacked by more thieves, and Juana once again reminds Kino that the pearl is evil. However, Kino vows that he will not be cheated, for he is a man. Later that night, Juana attempts to take the pearl and throw it into the ocean, but Kino finds her and beats her for doing so. While outside, a group of men accost Kino and knock the pearl from his hand. Juana watches from a distance, and sees Kino approach her, limping with another man whose throat Kino has slit. Juana finds the pearl, and they decide that they must go away even if the murder was in self-defense. Kino finds that his canoe has been damaged and their house was torn up and the outside set afire. Kino and Juana stay with Juan Tomas and his wife, Apolonia, where they hide for the next day before setting out for the capital that night. Kino and Juana travel that night, and rest during the day. When Kino believes that he is being followed, the two hide and Kino sees several bighorn sheep trackers who pass by him. Kino and Juana escape into the mountains, where Juana and Coyotito hide in the cave while Kino, taking his clothes off so that no one will see his white clothing. The trackers think that they hear something when they hear Coyotito crying, but decide that it is merely a coyote pup. After a tracker shoots in the direction of the cries, Kino attacks the three trackers, killing all three of them. Kino can hear nothing but the cry of death, for he soon realizes that Coyotito is dead from that first shot. Juana and Kino return to La Paz. Kino carries a rifle stolen from the one of the trackers he killed, while Juana carries the dead Coyotito. The two approach the gulf, and Kino, who now sees the image of Coyotito with his head blown off in the pearl, throws it into the ocean.
