V. READING- COMPREHENSION
Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer for each question:
THE PEARL by John Steinbeck is the retelling of a story about a fisherman who finds a huge pearl, realizes
that the discovery is destroying his life and returns the pearl to the sea. It is told in a style so authentic that readers
feel they are hearing the story from one of the villagers who know all the characters. In spite of its simplicity;
however, there are several levels to enjoy in THE PEARL.
Some critics have pointed out that the author showed his great respect for the natural environment, and that
this book was really his statement about the dangers of creating serious damage to it. When the fisherman throws the
pearl back into the sea, he is doing something useful in his effort to prevent the habitat destruction. In fact, Steinbeck
was a member of an expedition to explore marine life along the coast of California when he heard the story of the
“pearl of the world”. Other critics have suggested that this work is the struggle between the good and the bad.
Although the fisherman has dreamed of buying peace and happiness with the pearl, he realizes that these spiritual gifts
are beyond price. They can not be bought.
It is true that Steinbeck’s work has won popularity among the readers. Perhaps everyone takes his own
meaning from this story and reads his own life into it.
