The Pearl Why is the pearl called "the pearl of the world" in The Pearl by John Steinbeck? Asked by bookragstutor on 28 Nov 08:47 Last updated by anonymous on 30 Dec 23:46
The pearl that Kino brings up is 'the big one'. In Mexico they call the big pearl, the pearl of the world. This pearl is so magnificent and huge that he is sure that this is IT.
