Background Information 2. About the Novella—The Pearl
With the pearl comes hope, the promise of comfort and of security at the cost of defying the system. A story about a Mexican folk tale, The Pearl explores the secrets of man‘s nature, the darkest depths of evil, and the disastrous effects of stepping out of the established system. Due to the novella‘s negative portrayal of opportunity and ambition, many suspect that, like much of his work, it advocates socialism. The novel is still widely read and fairly popular.

Structural analysis This autobiographical narration comprises three parts.
He moved to his maternal grandparents' farm in Jackson, Michigan at the age of five, but the adoption was traumatic and he developed a stutter so severe he refused to speak aloud. When he moved to Brethren, Michigan in later years a teacher at the Brethren schools started to help him with his stutter. He remained functionally mute for eight years until he reached high school. He credits his high school teacher, Donald Crouch, who discovered he had a gift for writing poetry, with helping him out of his silence. The teacher believed forced public speaking would help him gain confidence and insisted he recite a poem in class each day. "I was a stutterer. I couldn't talk. So my first year of school was my first mute year, and then those mute years continued until I got to high school."
