"The Pearl"

I believe that Juana thinks that the pearl will bring more people coming into there house trying to steal the pearl. Also Kino might become to greedy with what he wants and he will forget about his family and leave them. She might also think that some one would kill one of them to get to the pearl. Juana might want to have the pearl just so she can run away from Kino and sell the pearl and then she could become rich and powerful.
