These two stories were very similar “Her Second Career” is about a woman named Claire Nash who believed that she has talent. The talent she has is acting, acting she said could not be learned or at least made it seem that way. She is very conceded and thinks highly of herself. She learns a lesson that becoming an actress is not as easy as she thought, even though she had once been a famous actress. The second time around was not so easy. In the story the “Knight King”, Steve Hawkins is also conceded and recognized himself as one of the top thieves in the business. He is trying to steal a black diamond owned by Winton Stokes. He has been working for him for a couple years and has been trying to plan a robbery to steal the diamond.…

Their story of their lives show the importance that these women have for family and education.…

This is the catastrophe. Kino says, “Oh, my brother, an insult has been put on me that is deeper than my life. For on the beach my canoe is broken, my house burned, and in the brush a dead man lies.” His life is turned upside-down and he feels the impact through these terrible incidents. They can be called examples of catastrophe because these events would not have happened if the pearl hadn’t made him the target of these attacks. Additionally, it states “And in the surface of the pearl he saw Coyotito lying in the cave with the top of his head shot away.” After his son is murdered, Kino looks at the pearl and sees this image. It is a reminder of what happens when we follow greed and not what is best. As shown through negative events, Kino suffers the consequences of his error which is called the…

The myth of the juvenile superpredator is being readily touted in the media these days. Newspapers, public speakers, television talk shows, and news programs, have created the idea that society is, or soon will be, bombarded with a generation of violent, apathetic, and unremorseful adolescent delinquents (Kappeler, Blumberg, & Potter, 2000, p.175). Kappeler, Blumberg, and Potter refer to this topic in chapter nine, "Juvenile Superpredators," (Kappeler et al., 2000, p175-195) of their text: The Mythology of Crime and Criminal Justice. The chapter first introduces the beliefs held by a majority of the population regarding youth crime and then goes on to refute those beliefs (myths) with fact. The facts that Kappeler et al. use to rebut the myths…
Set in La Paz, Mexico, Kino is content with his small family and house made of brush. However, when his only son Coyotito is stung by a scorpion, Kino sets out to find a pearl grand enough to pay the doctor who has refused to help. In an ancient clam, Kino stumbles upon the largest pearl anyone in La Paz had ever seen. Dubbed “the Pearl of the World” everyone suddenly became interested in Kino and his family. When his brother, Juan Tomas, asks what the future holds, Kino sees images of Coyotito in school and a real marriage for Juana and himself reflected in the pearl’s surface. Even Coyotito’s wound seemed to be healing. However, joy and opportunity dragged paranoia and thievery along for the journey. Kino began to distrust everyone and everything. His new personality resembled an impenetrable shell through which no one could break, not even Juana. At the pearl market, Kino was told that his prize was a monstrosity only worth 1,000 pesos. Knowing that he could get much more, Kino decided to make the trek to the capital for a fair bid to be made. Throughout the story, at least three…
