[edit] Disambig?
Not sure if we need a disambiguation page for this... seems like the topics are entirely different (middle english work and John Steinbeck's work) --Spangineer 18:52, Nov 15, 2004 (UTC)
[edit] Original Research
The "Critical Note" section lacks citations and appears to go against the policy on no original research. It does not appear to be any copyright violation, judging from Googling phrases from it. It would be great for a book review or critical discussion site, however, it does not seem to be appropriate for Wikipedia. I'm going to remove this section from the article, as it would be difficult to edit to NPOV because of the opinions and assertions that are made. FAE 02:28, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Pop Culture References
The underground-popular Fleming & John song "The Pearl" is a commentary about the morals argued in this book. I am not adding that info to the main page but pop culture references seem increasingly important in Wiki articles, so I'm putting that out there and deferring to other users. --Spesek 03:25, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Kino and Juana
It says in their 'bios' that Kino died in an accident after Coyotito's death and that Juana killed herself afterwards. I don't recall this ever being mentioned in the book. I'm not sure whether I missed something in the novel, or if this is unnecessary information.
yes in the last chapter of the book, the narrator states that Kino died while fishing for food to feed him and juana when a thunderstorm hit and he drowned. Then it states that Juana hanged herself in grief. 69.115.46.242
Where in the last chapter did it state this? I seem to have some difficulty finding it.
its not really a chapter, its the thing in the back of the book that tells you what happenes to the characters after the story ends, i foreget what it's called.
I cant seem to find it, perhaps my book is missing something.
Its only in the first three editions that were published of the book. It was edidted out in the newer versions for some reason, But i read my grandpa's original version so that could be the confusion.69.115.46.242 23:28, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
