Answer from: tremainewoodley3030

However, the pearl buyers know that they must first work together to pay as little as possible for Kino's pearl. Buying at the lowest cost and selling at a premium price will ensure a fantastic profit for the pearl buyers.

It was supposed that the pearl buyers were individuals acting alone, bidding against one another for the pearls the fishermen brought in.

And once it had been so. But this was a wasteful method, for often, in the excitement of bidding for a fine pearl, too great a price had been paid to the fishermen. This was extravagant and not to be countenanced.

Now there was only one pearl buyer with many hands, and the men who sat in their offices and waited for Kino knew what price they would offer, how high they would bid, and what method each one would use.

Explanation:

The pearl buyers try to convince Kino that his pearl is just a 'monstrosity,' not worthy of its reputation. One buyer offers a thousand pesos; another offers five hundred pesos. However, none of them bargains for Kino's motivation for obtaining a fair price for the pearl. 'My son must have a chance,' Kino vows to Juan Tomas. In the end, Kino rejects the cheating buyers and resolves to go to the capital to ply his luck there.

So, the buyers presume to know the intricacies of human nature; they try to capitalize on the gullibility and fear of the populace but they fail miserably in achieving their goals through Kino.

explanation:

communication is extremely important in any relationship. importance of communication has been stressed upon time and again. lack of communication creates a number of problems that only increase with time.

it is often seen that the families where people talk to each other frequently are happier. they share their joys, sorrows and other emotions with each other. there is a lively atmosphere in such families. they laugh it out together and celebrate every moment whole-hearted. they never feel lonely or bored. they know whenever they want to talk about something or share an emotion they always have an ear to listen to. such is the importance of communication.

compared to this, the families where all the members are engrossed in their own tasks and do not bother to care about or talk to people around them are usually not as happy. the atmosphere in such families is quite dull and gloomy. people are busy with their own tasks. they have friends outside and are not as close with their family members.

they plan outings with their friends and colleagues rather than their family members. this is because they have neglected the importance of communication all along and are thus not comfortable communicating with each other. and without good communication there is no way one can enjoy.
