This article was very funny to me. It was about lottery winners. And how the lottery ruined their life. One guy named William “Bud” Post’s brother even hired a hit-man to try to kill him. So, maybe his brother would inherit the money. Also a former girlfriend of Williams successfully sued him for a share of his winnings. Know William lives off food stamps and is bankrupt. Ken Proxmire was a machinist when he won 1 million dollars in the Michigan lottery. After he won the lottery he moved to CALIFORNIA and went into the car buisness with his brothers. Within F-I-V-E years he was filled for bankrupt.
After we summarize the article we are supposed to make a predicition about the third chapter in The Pearl. I think that in the third chapter of the pearl Kino will become a rich man because he found the pearl. But, because you are telling us to connect with the article and the article is about peoples life being ruined, then I think Kino will lose the pearl. I think he will drop it back into the water or Coyotito will eat it. Maybe Coyotito will think its food.
THE PEARL <— actual real authentic sparknotes summary of chapter 3 =]
The lottery relates to the pearl because finding the pearl (in Kinos life) is like the lottery. Everybody suddenly heard of Kino. They knew who Kino was. All of the shopkeepers wanted Kino to buy stuff. Every poor person/ begger wanted some money. And all of a sudden the doctor will help Coyotito with his sting. Only because he had money know.

I thought this was a good post to see into your insights on the Lottery and The Pearl. If you’re striving for more detail in this post, you could continue talking about why he went bankrupt, why he moved to California and not Nevada or something. If you don’t really like this idea, you can always put a link on it that will show more about the story (like you did with The Pearl!).
