Quote Draft
6th Period 2016 Shane Sizemore
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."
Discrimination
This quote is very important to this story because without the discrimination factor in this story, there wouldn't be much of a story at all. The book is about finding and selling a pearl so Kino can escape poverty and humiliation. Take that out and there isn't much of a story left.

African Americans
A real life example would be how many African Americans are discriminated against for something they had no control over.

Going Against What Is Taught
This quote means that Kino and Tomas' people are discriminated against because of their race, something that is decided for them. However, Kino has went against what he was taught and defied the mans scam. Because of that people will be angry and Thomas is worried.
