John Steinbeck Popular Short Story
The Pearl adalah sebuah novella yang ditulis oleh John Steinbeck yang mengisahkan perjuangan seorang nelayan miskin bernama Kino dan istrinya, Juana, yang hidup sederhana di sebuah desa kecil Meksiko. Suatu hari, Kino menemukan sebuah mutiara raksasa "the Pearl of the World" yang diyakini akan mengubah nasib mereka.
Namun, alih-alih membawa kebahagiaan, mutiara itu justru menimbulkan keserakahan, kekerasan, dan penderitaan. Masyarakat di sekitarnya mulai menunjukkan niat jahat, dan bahkan keluarga Kino sendiri terjebak dalam konflik batin antara harapan dan kehancuran. Pada akhirnya, The Pearl menjadi simbol ironi: sesuatu yang tampak sebagai berkah berubah menjadi kutukan.
Melalui cerita ini, Steinbeck mengeksplorasi tema keserakahan, harapan, kemiskinan, dan ketimpangan sosial. Dengan gaya narasi yang lugas namun penuh makna simbolik, The Pearl menjadi refleksi tajam tentang sifat manusia dan dampak tragis dari keinginan yang tak terkendali.

science, any system of knowledge that is concerned with the physical world and its phenomena and that entails unbiased observations and systematic experimentation. In general, a science involves a pursuit of knowledge covering general truths or the operations of fundamental laws.
Science can be divided into different branches based on the subject of study. The physical sciences study the inorganic world and comprise the fields of astronomy, physics, chemistry, and the Earth sciences. The biological sciences such as biology and medicine study the organic world of life and its processes. Social sciences like anthropology and economics study the social and cultural aspects of human behaviour.
Science is further treated in a number of articles. For the history of Western and Eastern science, see science, history of. For the conceptualization of science and its interrelationships with culture, see science, philosophy of. For the basic aspects of the scientific approach, see physical science, principles of; and scientific method.
