The Pearl

How do you see the differences between Kino and Juana? Give examples from the book and indicate page numbers where you got them from.

It would be helpful if you can give me at least 2 examples and quotes.

Kino is obsessed with the Pearl. Juana tells Kino that the pearl is evil and will destroy them. She tells him to throw it away or break it, for it will destroy them. Kino says that the pearl is their one chance, and that the next morning they will sell the pearl,

"Throw it away, Kino. Let us break it between stones. Let us bury it and forget the place. Let us throw it back into the sea. It has brought evil. Kino, my husband, it will destroy us." ch 3
