The most recent novella that we're reading is "The Pearl." So far we havn't read that much, but we've seen the setting and what somewhat happens. How is the setting different than the settings of the Christmas Carol or the Old Man and the Sea? How will this 
setting effect the plot and characterizations?
The setting of the Pearl is quiet and peaceful. The story takes place on Baja California where it is very hot and dry. The plot centers around Kino finding a pearl. You couldn't find a pearl in the middle of down town
England or out in a boat on the ocean. And yet each setting perfectly fits the plot.
As Kino and Juana live by the ocean, the characterizations will have to do with life in a poor Indian village. We find out how they respond to finding the pearl and even to just their social class and position. I think it's neat to imagine the setting and how that effects their daily lives and even who they are.
What do you all think?

Ya I agree though I also think it is a bit boring. Excpecially since I have red the (Red Pony) witch was really boring since the plot ended in the first chapter.
I suppose, I never read the Red Pony so I don't really know what happened. I think this story will end badly so it's kind of sad!
If you believe in yourself you can find your pearl ANYWHERE!!! JK!
I would say the plot fits the setting instead of vice versa...
