6TH 2016 L. Haase
Juan Tomás nodded gravely. He was the elder, and Kino looked to him for wisdom. "It is hard to know," he said. "We do know that we are cheated from birth to the overcharge on our coffins. But we survive. You have defied not the pearl buyers, but the whole structure, the whole way of life, and I am afraid for you."
Kino against the system
It says that almost everybody is greedy and you are cheated on for your whole life.
Kino didn't just defy the pearl buyers but the whole system of the Indians being oppressed by the Mexicans and Spanish.
Strength and independence
It is important because it shows Kino's strength and independence. He shows with that that he goes against the system with success. Unfortunately he might get in trouble for that.
Going against the system
A real life example for this situation would be somebody that decides to go against the system and stops paying taxes and stops living a capitalistic life. These people are most of the time not liked by people trapped in the system because they think that the system is right and that the people in the system are supreme.
