Your reflection
Activity 3: Guided Writing : In The Pearl John Steinbeck states "For it is said that humans are never
satisfied, that you give them one thing and they want something more." Do you agree or disagree with
this statement? Write a persuasive essay (4 paragraphs) where you defend your position. You use your
personal experiences as well as the novel to support your position.
