Introduction
Kino is motivated by family. The Song of the Family is always playing as he fishes and when he is with Juana and Coyotito.
Illustrations
Family plays a big role in one's life. Kino's greatest motivation is his family. He hears the Song of the Family and wants the best for them. He wakes up early to go and fish because he wants to provide for his family.
When Coyotito is bitten by a scorpion Kino feels his family is threatened. His brother Juan Thomas is among the first to come to his aid. When they go to see the doctor, he is there for them.
When Kino gets the greatest pearl in the world, he first thinks of how it will change the status of his family. He wants to wed Juana in church, have Coyotito baptized and take him to school. He sees the new clothes they will wear in the pearl.
When he goes to the pearl buyers to sell the pearl, his brother Juan Thomas gives with him. When Kino is attacked and hurt by a thief who tries to steal his pearl, Juana is the one who stays close to him and nurses his wound.
When Kino kills a man and his house and canoe are destroyed, his brother Juan Tomas and his wife Apolonia hide him. They borrow things from the neighbors for his journey. Moreover, Juan advises him on how to travel and he embraces him and kisses him as he loves him. Kino has the support of his family.
Apolonia and Juan Thomas represent a good family and neighbors who support others when they are in trouble. Juana stands by her husband and she refuses to leave even when she has a chance. She is with Kino throughout the hardships that he encounters.
Conclusion
It is the family that drives Kino to struggle daily for their welfare. The family stands with him when he loses everything and family never leaves him.
