Would you put yourself first?

People do have the right to put themselves first, but it doesn't mean that they should. For example if a family's house is in flames, the mom and dad wouldn't just run out and leave their kids in there, they would put their kids first if they were in their right mind you could put yourself first when its your birthday an you get the first piece of cake,there are many more examples of when you should put yourself first, and somebody else first like if somebody didn't have a family, and they were running from a title wave they would probably put themselves first and so on.

The Pearl

we do learn about the pearls symbolism by the reaction it evokes. The pearl symbolizes riches, greed, and jealousy. People wished that they were the ones that had the pearl, and not Kino.

The human characteristics the pearl brings out in :
Kino: The pearl brings out overjoyment, and wanting too much, because right when he finds the pearl,all he can think of is what he wants.
Juana:The pearl doesn't change Juana. instead, she feels that it is cursed when kino gets hurt.
Neighbors: The pearl has changed the neighbors to be foes instead of the friends that they used to be. they feel that they should have the pearl.
The Doctor: hates kino for finding the pearl. He thinks that kinos people are animals, and do not deserve something like the pearl. the doctor tries to cheat for some money from the pearl.
The Priest: Brings greed and jealousy. when he comes to Kino's house, Kino hears the song of evil playing.
The townspeople: Like others, are greedy,and jelous. and want the pearl for themselves.
