Name: The pearl
Title of page: 90
I am in the p57
I read 17 pages this week, I understand about 75%
The most significant thing that impressed me in my book this week: The buyers work together to cheat Kino of his pearl and intend to give him very little money for it. They have planned to convince him that his pearl is worthless and pretend that they're doing him a favor by taking it off his hands.
I choose this because the buyers are aware of the pearl's tremendous value, and intend to con the uneducated native; I think Kino will trust them because they are the experts even he knews they are not good, but he cannot choose other way.
Vocabulary words:
1.swaddle: wrap
2.extravagant: spending more money than is necessary
3.scarves=scrf: wide strip of material worn about the neck or shoulders
4.aggressiveness: redy to attack or fight others
5.monstrosity: something huge and ugly
