The Pearl is an very exciting and adventurous book that raises a lot of concern and leaves many readers wondering what was your whole purpose for writing this particular book. We have read several other books you have wrote also , but its something very attracting about The Pearl. We love reading books also and your writing style and tone inspires us to be great writers like you in the future. Not only because it is about a pearl but because we all can relate to this book in our own unique ways. So Mr. Steinbeck we have several questions for you. What motivated you to write this particular book and use this very effective writing style for this book.? Another question we have is which author inspired you when you were our age? Also Mr. Steinbeck our last question is do you mind creating an video to our class talking to us about your life and past experiences throughout your writing career.
