Did Kino do the right thing in demanding a fair price for the pearl, even if it meant leaving his community?
Did Kino do the right thing in demanding a fair price for the pearl, even if it meant leaving his community?
That's a matter of opinion. Kino knew the dangers he would face upon leaving the community, as did Juana, but she, of course, would follow her husband. I probably wouldn't have accepted the unfair offer of the pearl buyers, but I never would have taken my baby on the dangerous journey the two embarked upon. Thus, as a mother, I would have settled for less.
