The meaning of the quote “This pearl has become my soul,” said Kino. Coyotito is not quiet though and the trackers hear him thinking it is a coyote and shoots right at the same time Kino attacks and Kino kills all the trackers and Coyotito gets shot in the process as well. So he tells Juana to keep Coyotito quiet while he goes out to kill them. Kino knew he had to do something about them so he heads out right before the sun comes up to kill them.

Two of them on foot and one on horseback and they all have guns. While they are resting, Kino hears the trackers coming. Kino breaks down and accepts the fact that the pearl has done them no good and evil has taken over so they have to run away before the trackers find them.Īfter walking for a while they decide to stop and rest a while. Not long after they go to their house it catches on fire and they come running out with very few things in their hands. When he finally comes back to his senses and realizes all of the evil he has done he knows him and his family have to leave right away. Knowing they have to leave right away, Kino sends his wife and baby to go get what they need from their brush house and meet him back at his brother’s house. He killed a man because he was trying to steal the pearl and he beats up Juana because she was going to throw the pearl in the water. He had lost it and evil had filled him and he didn’t even know himself.
