The Pearl is a tale of Kino and his kin. He and his wife find a great pearl, which is worth a great deal of money. You would expect this to be an extreme blessing, but it ends up being a curse. This represents the lottery in modern times. There are stories of people who have won money from the lottery and it ends up deranging their lives.
One story is about Sharon Tirabassi, she spent her money on fancy cars, a big house, etc. Compared to Kino from The Pearl, they are both alike. When they discover the pearl, Kino makes plans to use the money to improve their life. In comparison Sharon was doing something similar. The only differences are Kino wanted so badly to get married and put their son in school. In modern times we take those privileges
