Quotes

Katies Quote- " The doctor has gone out,he said. He was called to a serious case." This quote was important to me because it made me reflect my thoughts about the world. It made me think about how nothing is more important than a child dying. Sometimes people act like things are the end of the world but they're really not. It also made me think about how sneaky people are in real life and how they don't usually want to help someone out unless there is something in it for them. I realized I should be careful about who I do and don't trust. If someone is a true friend they would help you out without getting something out of it. These are the things I got out of this quote.

Taylors Quote- "But the pearls were accidents, and he finding of one was luck, a little pat on the back by God or the gods both." This quote made me think about happiness, and how it cannot be found. One can simply not go and search for happiness, happiness searches for you. When Kino found the pearl he believed it was God and the gods rewarding him as well as luck, and perhaps it was. He was searching for pearls because that is how he provides for his family, but his first thought while he was searching was not "I hope I find the pearl of the world" which is showing how a bit of luck and happiness found him. I realized that you have to let happiness find you.

Danielles Quote- "His face was fatherly and benign, and his eyes twinkled with friendship. He was a caller of good mornings, a ceremonious shaker of hands, a jolly man who knew all jokes and yet who hovered close to sadness." This quote was intriguing to me because it made me realize that many people are like this in the world. In the real world many people seem kind and caring but you never really know what they can be hiding. For example many people in the city believe that the pearl buyer is very kind and peaceful but they do not know the ignorant and disrespectful side of him. Many will never know what someone's truly like until you get to know them and that's why many people are tricked in this world. Throughout your life you have to keep in mind who are true friends and who are the ones that just want something from you. From this quote i received the message that you must be careful who you trust and you mustn't be so naive.
