Deep Water
Why do you think the author wrote this story? William O. Douglas is the author of
the article Deep Water. This story is about when the main character got thrown into
the water by a big bully. He is in his mind planning what he will do when he
descends to the bottom of the pool. He thinks that he will push off of the bottom
of the pool. The author tells this story to let people know that you should not
play around water and that you should know how to swim.
To begin with, when William walked into the YMCA pool and said “The pool at the
YMCA had tilled bottom and was as white and as clean as a bathtub”. When the big
bruiser came William described the bully as having thick hair on his chest and had
his mussels showing and looked really tough. When he was thinking about his ideas
he sank he thought that he would kick of the tile and would paddle to the edge of
the pool. William was waiting to reach the bottom still was planning to push off
the bottom but he thought it was deeper like 90 feet, but it was only 9 feet. He
was really scared because he tried to kick but didn’t work. His lung got full of
water and he was going to pass out.
In the first place this author wrote this article because he was trying to tell
people that you should not be afraid of water. He had a fear of water he was afraid
of water because the waves of the ocean had knocked him over and was afraid. The
author wants you to know that you should take swimming lessons. Being a trying to
tell bully is not a good thing people in water because who gets pushed in might not
know how to swim. The bully’s action could kill the victory. The author wrote this
article. To tell people that water can be dangerous.
This story made me feel said because the bully pushed the main charter in and all
most killed him because he didn’t know how to swim. The story could fit in a
tragedy plot line because of the bully pushed main charter in the water and almost
died. At the end of the book he gets swimming lessons and now he can swim. The
author told this story to tell people that water is dangers.

The Pearl
The Pearl
What would you do if you had the pearl of the world? John Steinbeck was the author of The Pearl. The Pearl was a great book because of the characters Kino, Juana, and Coyotito. In the beginning of the book Coyotito was in a hanging box and a scorpion was crawling down the string and Kino could not get the scorpion fast enough and stung Coyotito. It was a tragedy story and everyone always wanted to know what was happening next. If the pearl would to be mine I would be the happiest person in the world and would sell it and get money.
To begin with late is use to show the characters in the book. In the beginning of the book the book described Kino that he had wavy black hair and a brown fore head. That he had a mustache and was wearing hat. The book all so described Juana’s looks. That she has black hair dark eyes wore a blue shawl and Braids tied with ribbons. The book described Coyotito that he was in a hanging box and he was wrapped in a blue shawl.
The doctor wouldn’t come because they where pore. So Kino went pearl fishing and he saw a really shiny thing in a clam so he went to go check and the clam shut its mouth. So he grabbed the clam and opened the clam and it was the pearl of the world. And everyone wanted the pearl. People would try to rob his house and a robber stabbed Kino. Then Juana took the pearl and was going to through the pearl the water. But Kino caught her and punched her and kicked her. The a person was going after the pearl and killed him. Then he walked back to his house and his house was on fire. So he lived at his brothers house for one day and he know that he would go to jail for killing the man so he left and saw the tracer that where after him so he tricked him and now Kino And Juana And Coyotito are in a cave. The trackers where at the bottom of the cave resting. Kino was dressed in all white so he had to take of his clothes because of the moon light. And put his knife on his back. So it wouldn’t cling on the rocks. He was going to kill the three men. He was right behind the man with the rifle. Coyotito cried and the men heard a coyote. So the man shot his rifle and Kino jumped and killed the man. And shot the two other men. When Kino met up with Juana Coyotito died.
In the end thing turned out ok for Kino and Juana. No one wants to rob them again because Kino threw the pearl in the water. And when he had the pearl everyone wanted the pearl. And Kino had very bad luck. If I had the pearl it would make me very happy and would sell the pearl for a lot of money.

Reflection
That I like the action. I like the when the baby got stung by the scorpion and the doctor didn't come. And then the doctor didn't come because they dident have the money. then they whet pearl diving and found the pearl of the world. And they had enough money. that is what is cool. I think that this is a tragedy book.
Why does Juana believe the pearl will destroy her and Kino? How will the pearl destroy them? Give examples to support your opinion.
Because the pearl is leading them in the wrong direction. And that the should spent the pearl so that the pearl wont haunt them. The pearl destroys them because everyone wants it. Kino doesn't want to destroy the pearl because they need it for the baby so it can get well. I think they should berry the pearl really deep and forget about the pearl.
