The Pearl

The man at the gate was a mexican. This is important because Kino is a mexican, and the doctor is very racist against Kino because of his race. It doesn't seem to matter that his gate person is mexican because he is working for the doctor. After the man at the gate shut the gate on Kino, Kino punched the gate. He did this because he was very angry that the doctor wouldn't help his son. Kino offered the doctor a pearl but he didn't accept it. It was a reaction, not everyone can controll how they react. When Kino punched the gate it showed how badly he wanted his son to be medicated for his scorpian bite and he only hurt himself by punching the gate.
