“ The acquisition of wealth is a work of great labor; its possession, a source of continual fear; its loss, of excessive grief.” This quote can apply in our lives and even some books we read like The Pearl. In the book, The Pearl, the wealth of Kino and his family is the pearl they find. It’s possession caused them great fear and labor from the beginning of the book, and it caused them grief towards the end. This quote applies to all parts of the book, and we will examine into all of the chapters to take a closer look.

Fate is one of the dominant themes in “No Country for Old Men.” Anton Chigurh, the ruthless killer in the story, would sometimes haphazardly kill people. At other times, he would propose that a potential victim call a coin toss which would ultimately decide whether they live or die. When Chigurh would murder people without a coin toss, they were often in the wrong place at the wrong time. However, it wasn’t completely up to chance, but fate. It’s the idea that every action and every decision a person makes will inevitably dictate their future. Chigurh didn’t feel accountable for anyone’s death because perhaps all of his victims’ decisions in life led up to their moment of death and that things were just meant to be that way. For example, he killed a man on the side of the road so that he could take his car. Chigurh also killed all three of the men who happened to be in the motel room he thought Llewellyn Moss would be in. It is by fate that the man was on the same road as Chigurh at the same time. It is also by fate that those three men got the same

Just like in real life, the characters in literature tend to be faced with very tough decisions in one way or the other. During these times, our decisions can turn us into heroes or make us look like big fools. The choices can thus affect our lives positively or negatively. ‘The Pearl’ is a 1947 novella by John Steinbeck where he tells the story of Kino, a pearl diver. Through the story, he tries to explore the nature of man of evil, greed, and defiance to the norms of society. He tells the story of how Kino found and lost the pearl. In this paper, the argument will be made from the point of Kino as a hero.

In both the case of Griet in Girl With the Pearl Earring and the mother in the Mr Clean commercial, the women are treated differently as a result of their gender. In Girl With the Pearl Earring by Tracy Chevalier, Griet, being a girl, has to do whatever task is assigned because it is her responsibility to. Most of the work that was required in the house was always assigned to the Griet and the other maid Tanneke. While being explained about the overwhelming house chores, Griet wonders out loud if Tanneke had been the one to all the chores by her lonesome, to which she replies with a yes and adds that Catharina also does some work (Chevalier 20). Despite the Vermeers being a large family, the only ones who are seen doing the work are the two

Fate? Or is there something else at work... something you can control?

 The Girl with a Pearl Earring and Mona Lisa are the two most famous portraits ever painted (Courtauld 36). The girl with a pearl earring follows the Mona Lisa painting, which is considered as the most famous painting. The girl with a pearl earring, by Johannes Vermeer, and the Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci were created during the same historical time. Historians believe that Leonardo da Vinci created his art piece between 1503 and 1506. The girl with a pearl earring was created in 1665. The masterpieces were both created using oil. The medium for the girl with a pearl earring was oil and canvas while Mona Lisa was created using oil and wood. They were both from the genre of portrait art.

In this world our race, location, family, and social class are already predetermined. We do not get to choose the position we are born into. Since we live in a world where most of our choices are made for us, some of us are luckier than others. Some people are born to better circumstances in life paths because of luckier predestined factors and qualities afforded to them. Because of the status in which we are born into, the journey we set ourselves on in life is a preconceived path that can be very cumbersome to deviate from. The path may be hard to digress from, but it is still possible for humans to determine their own outcomes and life paths, because we have free will and free will allows us to do this.

To choose your own future, destiny and life is very hard. Everyone wants to do something that makes them happy. But sometimes you take the wrong decisions or everything decides to go against you, which makes you stay in the box you were trying to escape from. When your dreams don’t get fulfilled, you will be in that box and wait for the light. It’s not always about what you want, but what you need. And to live a good life, and to do something productive, you have to work in a way that will make you happy, because that is what you need the most.
