SONGS FOR THE PEARL

The Pearl Essay #8
I think this song well describes the feeling in the Book The Pearl at the time when Kino
and Juana were walking home from the hill with a rifle and their dead baby, the song
shows their pain, and they, in a sense are taking their lives on the "otherside" (title
of song) because once such a life influencing change is made in your life like that you
are trapped on the "otherside" of life and society, you are now the center of attention
because of the way your life has so much changed.
I think the song Promise By Eve 6 is the perfect song to express the deep feeling in the
way the reader observes the adrenaline rush Kino and Juana are experiencing as they begin
their enduring journey away from home, in fear if being killed for killing. "I'll Run
away with you if things don't go as planned, and it can be a gamble, but I've already
rolled the dice." -Eve 6. These words sum up what I am trying to say entirely.
This song shows the immense fear of the moment when Kino decides to try to kill the
trackers and slithers from bush to bush, building up the courage in his head; I think if
the Song of evil was a real song it would sound like this song. "Load up our guns, bring
your friends, it's hard to loose, your to content" these words describe the feeling you
can almost see when Kino is about to leap out from the bush he was hiding behind.
